If you want to explore it further, look up the philosophical aspects of the hard problem of consciousness. [1]

Not as bad as Costco. Their app and website are still stuck in 90s.

Ublock origin is not able to filter out <dialog> elements without breaking scrolling and other buttons in most cases (depending on how the site is implemented). Is there a generic way to disable these without affecting the rest of the site?

It is fun to explore the Git internals! Some time back, I used it to learn Golang [1]. Two birds with one stone!

Dubai has almost 90% of population as immigrants! TIL.

Shameless plug: I gave a tech talk on this at my last company, and implemented some of these in Golang as a learning exercise [0]. While it is not mandatory to know the internals, but doing so helps a lot when you occasionally encounter a git-gotcha!

fork() takes no arguments, and CreateProcess() takes about 48 billion arguments.

I chuckled!

Shameless plug: I created a Golang utility to scrub passwords from a deeply nested struct, before logging, at Nutanix some time back [0][1]. We also run an automated test to try out all operations with a known password, and then ensuring that it is not present in any of the log files.

Quantum - by Manjit Kumar, is a very accessible book covering the history of quantum mechanics.

Willow.tv is a major culprit here. There is no cancellation button on the website, and you are required to email a support person multiple times (back and forth with retention offers) for cancellation. They are in violation of CA law that prohibits this behavior.

Quantum by Manjit Kumar is my favorite. It is a novel like walkthrough of quantum development over the years.

CSI: NY was way ahead of its time! :-)

This one had me dying with laughter! I read the punchline in Richard Attenborough's voice.

https://redditsearch.io may help a bit with these types of queries. Bummer that there is no native way to do so.

Shameless similar plug: I recently implemented parts of git in Golang as a learning exercise.

I recommend this blog post as a good primer for TLS.

Awesome. Just submitted Sunnyvale Community Center location, which has a pond with a lot of ducks.

Golang library to act on structure fields at runtime. Similar to Python getattr(), setattr(), hasattr() APIs.

This package provides user friendly helper APIs built on top of the Golang "reflect" library. Reflect library is tricky to use due to its low level nature and results in a panic if an incorrect input is provided. This package provides high level abstractions on such tricky APIs in a user friendly manner.

Is the 4th off day separate for everyone, or is it Friday all the time? If everyone takes Friday off, then we end up in the same situation as before where no chores are possible on Friday. Can one pick any day from Mon-Fri as the off day.

Good intro.

Shameless plug: I recently picked up Golang and used it to implement a mini version of Git CLI using these internals [1].

First, imagine a spherical cow!

Do the containers and their settings sync across devices as part of Firefox Sync? Last time I tried them, I had to recreate them on each device.

I assume the later part of you comment refers to the (in)famous attempt by the Indiana state assembly to legalize Pi to be exactly equal to 3.

Awesome. I did the same while learning both Golang and git, and implemented parts of git in Golang. [0]

And yet protagonists survive after going through a pyroclastic flow routinely in the movies, such as Jurassic World: FK and 2012. It is a recurring trope in movies!

This is already not an issue. Unicode doesn't assign a separate codepoint to any flag. Each flag is represented by a two character ISO code using regional indicator symbols (such as IN for Indian flag).

I thought the same. Now I think it is simply argument-count and argument-values. Not sure if that is correct!

Proofpoint spam filter! Drives me nuts!

Funny, I just rewatched Minority Report last night! I had no idea that precrime was an actual thing.
