I have such a love hate relationship with the tech. On one hand, I live on the edge of the mountains and can get away while on-call, set up my starlink and still be within SLAs if I got paged while out of service (weekend pages are fairly r

I live in Colorado, we have a "free-range" law that protects parents allowing their children to play outside unattended. It's a bit sad that such a law needs to exist, but I'm glad we have it here. In our neighborhood it

I don't like the sound of `--wet-run`, but on more than one occasion I've written tools (and less frequently services) that default to `dry-run` and require `--no-dry-run` to actually make changes. For services, I prefer having th

I might be misremembering, but the initial core series (core 2 duo/quad) was still a bit behind AMD's Phenom line. Core was definitely better than the old netburst architecture, but I don't really remember Intel regaining dom

I'm not a physicist, but I believe that's the exact insight that led to special relativity. It goes something like: If your moving at 1,000kmh next to a jet moving at 1,100kmh then the jet is moving at 100kmh relative to you. Even

Sure, 4chan is a cesspool, but what if I start a replacement? How does the UK block it? Do we end up with an allowlist only internet?

Right? It's such a foreign form of intelligence to me. I think the paper "What is it like to be a bat" by Thomas Nagel made me realize that I can't even imagine what it's like to be my next door neighbor, let alone

The article is one sided, but still mentions that biking is up: > Despite this, there’s a noticeable rise in biking trips while pedestrian activity is dwindling as a portion of overall trips. They cite StreetLight Data as their source. P

That's a good point, thanks for keeping me honest! Mine is not the Mac version. USB-C to charge it, but dongle is A now that you mention it. It stays plugged into the back of my monitor.

My mouse and keyboard are both usb-c and I wasn't specifically looking for usb-c when I ordered either of them. Logitech MX Master 3 and Keychron Q1. They are both relatively high end devices, but I don't think it's hard to

Less than an hour ago I set my backpack down on top of a usb-c cable plugged into the back seat usb-c port in my car. The cable broke at the plug, but the port is fine. I'm a little upset with myself because it was my only 5A rated usb

Out of curiosity, what is your background? I really enjoyed Linear Algebra and often wish I had a job that was more math heavy.

I went to Texas Tech and made the pilgrimage to Ransom Canyon. I remember thinking it looked sorta like Majin Buu's house from DBZ. It's nice seeing that someone is doing something with the house, it's not like anyone knows w

I have an Oly EM1.3. Pro-capture on a rental EM1.2 is what originally sold me the camera, but Live ND (image averaging) is probably my most used feature outside of standard aperture priority shooting. It's pretty fun what you can do wi

My dad is a commercial pilot for a different carrier. The tl;dr is there are typically a subset of pilots on-call at any given time. Pilots who aren't on-call won't be asked to give up their weekends to cover flights. Pilots eithe

I'm 29 and have never even heard of anyone doing this, but I grew in rural Texas so maybe we were just behind the times.

I'd be curious to know what all was actually impacted by the ransomware. It sounds like they shutdown all their services in order to assess the damage. Maybe this only affected their corporate infrastructure or manufacturing infrastruc

I agree that the mobile app shouldn't be broken with the server down, but I've got a FR 935 and can alter my watch face and set alarms through the watch. Watch Face 1. Hold down up/menu 2. Hit start 3. Select Watch face 4. Hi

I have no problem with 80 lines side by side with vscode taking up half of my 3440x1440 display (so 200px less wide than a single 1920 × 1440 display). Even with the extra space taken up by the github UI, I can't imagine 40 additional

Exactly this. I work for a FAANG and live in Texas. If employees leaving the bay area could leave and maintain the same level of pay, I'd expect a bay area salary as well. With the lack of a state income tax and relatively low housing

ImageMagick supports HEIC to JPG conversion. It would take at most a few hours to hack together an interim solution.

I'm with you, but I think this post also highlights the need for protected land. I'd really hate to see any National Forest land go away because everyone who wants to live somewhere with a view now can. More people/better inf

I’m at a FAANG for the first time, but was previously at a big financial company with a relatively large IT org. It would’ve been nice to have an option to use Linux there. I think FAANGs are the exception not the norm. Edit: or maybe I hav

This is a really good sign. I hope this means more corporate IT support for Linux desktops. This is the first year I've been able to use Linux (Fedora 31) on a corporate owned machine (T490s) and I don't think I could go back. For

I'm completely unfamiliar with this, but could they not get HAM licenses and operate on amateur radio frequencies? Or simply turn what they are doing into a podcast? Or is the issue that their target audience only has access to AM&#x2F
