A similar thing happened in a first-year CS class at Purdue this year: https://thecheatsheet.substack.com/p/432-cheating-at-purdue-....

Or not a Golang bug at all but rather a new Golang feature that the developer chose to use rather than trying to be backward compatible with some older Golang versions.

Congrats to the author. I plan to do Oregon -> Virginia next year but I'll take more like 80 days than the author's 51.

He probably started out wanting to make just one pipe bomb but you know how it is, you get a great discount if you buy the ingredients in bulk. So he made his pipe bomb and then he had all these leftover ingredients just taking up space in his closet. And so he went ahead and made another 149 pipe bombs.

Destroy it now.

"Moreover, even for those who would like to rightfully consider Airbnb results positive, there’s a huge price on culture companies managed this way have to pay. We can get a glimpse from a few Glassdoor reviews I found, all subsequent to Chesky’s new approach..."

Glassdoor reviews are a poor measure of a company's culture.

Or perhaps Elon is not personally involved in what network protocols they use on their Dojo AI supercomputer.

For you cyclists, the Great Allegheny Pass trail and the Chesapeake & Ohio towpath meet there.

You're suggesting one of the developers went through all the trouble to create a browser, then allowed someone to add assets to the repo without the developer reviewing them first?

Just playing back what you said because it's surprising. You're saying that explosion was not caused by water that was superheated by the supervolcano below the greater Yellowstone Caldera? It was heated by some other source?

Interested because I was there a few weeks ago.

My experience: a lot of the confusion in technical conversations is due to two parties using the same term for different but related concepts. Relabeling the concepts to clarify the distinction is the right thing to do.

> or could we just use longer words?

Agreed: relabeling, with longer words when necessary, can help.

All of that. Plus, wrap your head in aluminum foil.

I guess that's what the article meant here: "This particular Pi doesn't have a real-time clock. The very newest ones (5B) do, but you have to actually buy a battery and connect it. "

The GAP trail from Pittsburg to Cumberland is especially awesome. It’s well-maintained, the trail towns are welcoming, and the scenery is fantastic. The folks who live near the trail are lucky to have it.

Moka pot rubber gaskets are replaceable.

In at least some Mazda models, you can replace the firmware in the entertainment system to eliminate that message. I’ve done it.

Even better would be closed source firmware with an annual license fee.

I had COVID a few weeks ago. You will remember.

I would not have guessed any of those were mastodons.

Bruce Schneier made a similar point in his book, “Secrets and Lies: Digital Security in a Networked World“. Quote:

Society needs defectors. Groups benefit from the fact that some members do not follow the group norms. These are the outliers: the people who resist popular opinion for moral or other reasons. These are the people who invent new business models by copying and distributing music, movies, and books on the Internet. These are people like Copernicus and Galileo, who challenged official Church dogma on astronomy. These are the people who—to take a recent example—disrupt energy auctions to protest government responsibility for climate change. They're also people living on the edge of society: squatters, survivalists, artists, cults, communes, hermits, and those who live off the grid or off the land. In 2011, U.S. Marine Dakota Meyer received the Medal of Honor for saving three dozen of his comrades who were under enemy fire. The thing is, he disobeyed orders in order to do so.

What would be an example of a non-bullshit form?

I see Morning Edition and All Things Considered on KQED's weekly schedule (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PrFgenUlR9TW8bZJ26LopRObTuB...). KQED pays NPR for that content.

Anyone have a non-paywall version?

I agree that if the shoes were perfectly good, it would have been better to keep them. Are you asserting the author recycled perfectly good shoes, or are you just describing a hypothetical? If the former, what in the article suggests the shoes were still perfectly good?

As late as the 70’s, you could get in trouble with the local telco for using an acoustic coupler on a residential phone line.

That would depend on the restrictions accompanying the money. The federal government has had mixed success funding technology projects. The Feds aren’t necessarily experts at solving state/local-level problems.

I used the MV/8000 at a SCADA company where I worked part-time in college. It was a nice step up from the 16-bit DG Nova machines we used earlier.

Wasn’t there a startup that did this in the late 90’s?

That's funny. I remember news reports about how Japanese consumers didn't want to buy American-made cars because of the perception that Japanese cars were higher quality. The salesmen tried to explain that American consumers didn't care about things like panel gaps or wind noise of door closing bump noise.
