it's called your damn brain.

walk into the woods and never touch a computer again

finally

thats called sshfs

Given the day this was posted on I was half expecting it to be a proposal to add radiation sources as a standard computer component

i've decided that every time someone posts an article bemoaning the death of RSS i'm going to comment that i, in fact, found out about it through the HN RSS feed

Of course one of the oldest images on the internet is of anime...

The worst web browser I have access to is the "experimental" one on a Kindle 4. Most web pages that one might want to visit will not load in this web browser—because it does not support modern versions of TLS.

For the reasons mentioned in this article—it's probably a good idea to keep plain HTTP access available on your websites.

you also can buy a great XLR microphone for $100, but then you’ll need an external sound card with phantom power supply.

this is only true if you buy a condenser microphone. a dynamic microphone will work reasonably fine with your onboard soundcard if you have an xlr-->1/8" trs cable.

I tried it on http://www.arngren.net/ and it just said "The URL provided is not correct."

I am getting a Cloudflare 522.

"Free" or "libre" also have moral implications, and are relevant even when calling something "GNU" would be inaccurate.

i use noscript, so gocomics.com is a bit borked --

  gocomics () { eom $(curl "$@" | grep item-comic-image | grep -Eo 'https://assets.amuniversal.com/\w*') &> /dev/null; }

noscript makes many news sites more bearable—of course, there are some which whitewall you—which can sometimes be bypassed with reader view—but sometimes not :(

Haven't tried it yet, but I assume one can get better results using a drawing tablet.

I also see it as two characters in Firefox. (I also see 'st' ligatures throughout the article, which is pretty unusual.)

Most sans-serif fonts poorly distinguish between "I" and "l", I've found. (This led to my dad thinking that artificial intelligence was called "Al", as in "Albert".)

Hallelujah and such! Now I just have to wait for Debian to update to that ESR... D:

This blog is tons of fun.

I always liked:

Must be a yearning deep in human heart to stop other people from doing as they please. Rules, laws -- always for other fellow. A murky part of us, something we had before we came down out of trees, and failed to shuck when we stood up. Because not one of those people said: "Please pass this so that I won’t be able to do something I know I should stop." Nyet, tovarishchee, was always something they hated to see neighbors doing. Stop them "for their own good" -- not because speaker claimed to be harmed by it.

I think because Apple sublicences software, GNU GPL–licensed software can't be released on the App Store. Probably other copyleft licenses are similarly incompatible.

Great of something that is ethically bulletproof but quite illegal!

Puts me in mind of Surely You're Joking Mr Feynman...

could a mod fix this submission?

And, again to be fair, you can turn those off by clicking the gear in the upper right.

(maybe you can turn the Google stuff off in Chrome, too?)
