Amusingly it was branded "clik!" complete with the exclamation https://www.imaging-resource.com/ACCS/CLIK/CLIK.HTM …

Google used to have that feature around 2011

Most people I knew at the time bought this drive to add 1.44MB floppy capability to their iMac and rarely used the SuperDisk format itself.

> Both of which are more expensive and a bigger hassle for everybody. That's the point. The university was crowing about how they deployed 40000 of these things already. They wouldn't be …

> Mr Dougherty said improvements had since been made to the design of the barnacle, and said 40,000 had been deployed and returned without incident. Sounds like they make it up in volume. I doubt t…

Yep, that’s exactly my fear. If we collectively think of it as banned then we will have no societal defense for it.

I was with you for the first sentence, but the criminals I'm afraid of are NSA/GCHQ/FVEY/etc who absolutely would never abide by some silly "ban" on a technology like thi…

This quote stood out to me when re-reading this article—emphasis mine: “You can offer to work for 16 hours a day,” said Annabelle, a security officer who asked to be identified only by her middle name…

To be fair, _everything_ takes unnaturally long to happen in SF due to all the ways a Very Concerned* Neighbor can tie any project up in approval meetings.

Depends where you're digging. Might be water table; might be existing infrastructure; might just be a certain type of rock.

> a good BMC I hope to see such a thing some day. The code quality and support lifecycles for these things are horrendous.

I can only have fair opinions of environments I’ve personally experienced, and this thread is about SV companies.

You can see the mindset everywhere in the Valley; it's just easiest with the "gig economy" companies that put it right in our collective faces. For example, compare what was described i…

Still waiting to hear a downside :)

What about my aversion to m4? =P

I’m sorry you were held down and forced to scream at someone two blocks away in public. Hopefully somebody some day will invent a kind of faster-than-foot travel you could use to catch up to someone i…

Lose heat… into a thermometer? :)

I disagree with MTA’s actions here but can imagine some reasons someone would feel the need to act on this. If a third-party representation of the system becomes a dominant way people refer to it then…

Are “trap” entries a thing with phone books like “trap streets” are with maps? That’s how they get people who cross the line of fact: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trap_street …

Rollup looks like it would fit my needs perfectly. Thank you!

That kind of reasoning wouldn’t make me feel better if I were the pedestrian who had to go to the hospital. You make it sound like bicycles are just an inherently bad thing to have around :)
comment
A bicycle is a road vehicle. You shouldn’t be riding on the sidewalk.

What are you using instead of Webpack? I have a very old personal project still using Webpack 2 and would love a simpler alternative that isn’t just downloading library dist files and checking them in…

Maybe try a CSS selector based off of the next parent element that does have a permanent identifier? first-child/nth-child and friends can get you a long way.

The exact guideline is "If the title includes the name of the site, please take it out, because the site name will be displayed after the link", and I think that wording speaks from an outda…

One implies the other. How can they sell access to your eyeballs without surveilling you to study your likes/dislikes/habits/etc?

Try the pronoun form of "one"

I'm happy to agree to disagree. Please forgive me if I am (hopefully!) just misreading the tone of these comments, but this exchange has seemed tiringly mean-spirited and argumentative to me. I…
