I’m a child of the early 80s and I consider myself fortunate to see the “original” Black Sabbath lineup at Ozzfest in Milton Keynes (2001). I was convinced I was witnessing his last gig not just because of his age but due to him tipping buckets of ice water over himself and the various electrical equipment on stage. What a gig though. What a showman. I’m surprised he lasted this long to be honest.

RIP prince of darkness, you mad, mad bastard.

I’ve used Vis JS Timeline for this recently: https://visjs.github.io/vis-timeline/examples/timeline/

We have Costco in the UK.

I wish you could just download a big bunch of pre-rendered tiles for each country.

What did it say? Was it using Siri’s voice?

That was an interesting read. Thanks for sharing it!

“Digital stowaway!”

This is overly simplifying the issue. I work for an org that requires exactly this type of 'build your own manager' idea that is mentioned in the article. Sure, it's dysfunctional and has a lot of legacy problems (like most large public sector orgs), but the work is what compells me... irrespective of how good/bad my manager is.

Basically: In some cases where you work and what you are working on trumps who you are working for and how much you are paid.

"...because it's harder to sell random reach to advertisers. Remember that you're not Facebook's customer, so this is a move to keep eyeballs from leaving."

Exactly.

Plenty of great email, contacts and calendar services out there, you just need to pay for them. I went with FastMail and it’s been absolutely painless.

I've recently switched from Chrome to Firefox Developer Edition and apart from a few UI niggles, I'm really happy with it and I can't wait to start recommending Firefox to people again.

Congrats to Mozilla and the folks who contributed to this! The web needs Firefox and this is a massive improvement.

I guess this explains why AIM was removed from Messages app in Mac OS High Sierra.

Heh. I was thinking exactly that same thing. RIP Mr Nice!

How was he able to make shots from behind the basket?

The extension does HEAD requests by default, and occasionally you don't get accurate responses back from the server. You can change the request type to GET requests in the options screen (right click on extension icon -> options) to get more accurate (but slightly slower) results.

Yep, as it essentially visits all links on a page to check their availability.

However, you can add rel="nofollow" to links you don't want to check. You can also exclude entire domains and specific links by right-clicking on the extension icon and clicking on 'options'.
