I've never had it require SMS either. Probably because I've never given it a portable telephone number. (Until a couple of years ago I didn't have one, and I still use it as little as possible.)
Two? Since the Franchise Wars, all restaurants are Taco Bell.
Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is probably a better-known example of that.
Ah, I see. You're aiming to become the hashbrown of testing.
Have there been any discussions about upstreaming this into cargo proper? Are there any significant downsides to nextest compared to its predecessor?
I've seen this bouncing around since the early 90s, with New Agey people like Danah Zohar, and probably predates even that. There never seemed to be a whole lot to it; not much more than "well, consciousness is weird, and quantum is weird, therefore consciousness is quantum". Or maybe "well, quantum is trendy, and I'd like to make a buck, therefore..."
Pretty sure it originated with the Wikipedia annotation. See e.g. https://xkcd.com/285/ from 2007.
Huh? The Honor Harrington books are published by Baen (who are all DRM-free).
I'm sure they were originally hoping for mass-market success, but given the RAM drought and ensuing pricing, I'm guessing the best possible outcome at this point would be to break roughly even and learn, so that they can put out a more competitive revision if and when prices ever return to Earth.
With Windows becoming increasingly hostile, I do think there's room for a hardware/software integrated "just works" offering in the Linux PC space. Plus software pricing is probably a lot more competitive than console (dunno, never had anything to do with consoles, but my impression has always been that hardware is a loss-leader there).
Hard disagree. The war has been at least tacitly supported by the majority of the Russian public (via enlistment, taxation or just acquiescence) and it's very explicitly being waged against the Ukrainian public (via killing, occupation, expropriation etc).
"Define who we work with" is basically the point of sanctions. Unless you think they're too robust too, and we should limit ourselves to strongly worded postcards?
He's very proud of having been rejected by a Russian publisher for being "too dark".
<FourYorkshiremen>Luxury.</FourYorkshiremen> I'm still using a 1650 Super with 4GB VRAM and it's basically fine. Holding off on a few newer titles, but I'm old and my eyesight is going so 1080 resolution is plenty for me.
A noble principle, albeit not without its lamentable failures.
But in that case this bit of TFA feels a bit out of place:
To eliminate the possibility that the owl was [...] detecting heat from the body of the mouse (for instance, by sensing infrared light emitted by a warm body), the experiment is repeated with a mouse-sized wad of paper dragged through the leaves
Over the next few days, the owl makes 16 more strikes at mice, missing only four times, each time by less than two inches.
How did the experimenter measure miss distance in pitch darkness? IR illumination is presumably out in case the owl was able to see it, and I didn't think thermal imaging was a thing yet in the late '50s.
That one's explicitly mentioned at the end of TFA itself, though.
I wondered if this might have been the basis, either physically or at least aesthetically for the Aliens APC. Apparently not; while very similar in low-slung form factor, that was a Hunslet ATT77 air towing tractor: https://www.hooniverse.com/movie-cars-aliens-armored-personn...
`export template` was included in the C++98 standard without any experience, experimental or otherwise. The first implementation was achieved by EDG after enormous pain in the early 2000s, and their advice for any others attempting it was "don't". I'm not aware of anything else quite that egregious, though.

I read it as "agents can't program, and with each new generation of agents it's taking longer and longer to realize that that specific iteration can't". Maybe taking the Principle of Charity too far, I dunno.
Agreed. Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn: there's a reason it's a classic.
And meanwhile the webapp's library UI doesn't even let you filter by read status.
Ooh, I honestly hadn't considered that; thanks for the tip. The waterproof seal around the screen has degraded too, but I very rarely read in the rain these days.
Already do. I hate to think what it would be like now otherwise.
I was about to complain that my Paperwhite only lasts a couple of days between charges (it shuts down when battery drops to ~50%) but then realized that I've had it 7-8 years. No Indian heat here though, I'm in the UK.
Not 100% sure whether you're being sarcastic but... yes? IMO more misses than hits, and the misses tend to miss by more than the hits hit.
HN only allows editing for a fairly short period after a comment is posted.
very few people will pay to advertize on them
That sounds like an unalloyed plus. The perverse incentives caused by advertising have been the biggest driver of the web's decline, IMO.
What kind of thing do you write? I'm still amazed at how much functionality is packed into tiny binaries like the sysinternals tools, and depressed at how acceptable 50MB todo apps have become.
When I lived there (late 90s) you weren't obligated to pay that tax if you declared that you were an atheist.
Ah, sorry, I misread your previous comment. And yes, the general gender-critical position is that transmen are welcome in women-only spaces, since they're women.
Though in practice I wouldn't be surprised if we eventually converge on "women only" and "unisex" as some sports have done. The risks posed by self-identification are very much one-way; this isn't a symmetrical situation.
