I don’t do it for the money. I do it because I like doing it.

Unless the load was improperly secured, or the driver was not driving safely, which we don’t know yet.

Every time I hear this word firefish, I cannot help but be reminded of the phrase “turds of the firefish”, which appears quite randomly in one of Orson Scott Card’s novels.

We’re talking cross-platform depravity these days.

I even explicitly called out my statement as tongue-in-cheek, so it’s not to be taken 100% seriously. And full disclosure: I myself am not a PHP developer, but much worse: a PowerShell developer, among other languages.

This is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but kbin generally requires its users to be either unaware it is written in PHP or OK with using something written in PHP. That has to exert some selective pressure.

Dang. In wildfire season here in western Canada, my air filter gets brought out well before the 100 mark.

Just heard of this service but I am signing up first thing tomorrow.

I know the evidence says that therapy works in general, but yeah, it’s difficult to believe. And to be honest, I’d rather take a pill than talk to a therapist, all else being equal.

The engines are at the back of this aircraft. Also in Russia, Russian air defence sites do not need to be concealed from Russian business jets. That said, I find either cause equally plausible.

I disagree with Sabine on accelerators for the simple fact that accelerators are fucking cool. We should be building more and bigger accelerators for that reason alone.

Arc aims to be more than just a place to view webpages

Personally, that’s all I want a browser to be. Anything more is useless bloat, IMO.

Not so fast. You can do your duty to the Economy by adopting and raising children, reducing the children’s burden on the State and transforming them into productive adult drones who will work for low wages (and who might later reproduce)! Really, unless you adopted three children while reading this, you have been negligent.

So if a ship, train, or cargo plane full of drones happens to have a little explody accident while en route to Russia, Iran definitely won’t care, because hey, it’s not their drones.

I have listened since the time it was the Engadget podcast, then This Is My Next, then the Vergecast. Yes, it’s fluff and not deep technical info, but it’s really useful for keeping up with the overall zeitgeist of the tech industry. Also it’s often funny. It’s a nice, refreshing thing to listen to while making coffee on a Friday.

I wonder if this guy is secretly receiving funding from Russia. This is exactly the kind of article the SVR (Russian foreign intelligence agency) would want written. I don’t like that a small part of the AFU uses the symbol or has a white-supremacist past, but that’s no reason to stop supporting Ukraine. Russia’s territorial ambitions and lust for war crimes must be obliterated. Once there is peace, there will be plenty of time to deal with whatever far-right sentiment remains. Personally, I think the journey to EU and NATO membership will do much to moderate those people.

Checked it out, stopped reading at “blockchain”.

That fixes the main problem with Clippy, which was not using a blockchain.

C derivatives are similar in terms of things like imperative control flow, lower-case keywords like if, mostly insignificant whitespace, { }-delimited blocks, etc., but they can be vastly different in terms of features, semantics, idioms, and typical use cases.

It’s like how non-programming languages can use the same Latin alphabet but be vastly different in terms of grammar and culture.

A relative of mine works in the same room as 911 call-takers in western Canada. They’re having a big problem with this.
