I am not a legal scholar, but from my understanding enough that serious cases were filed and fought and made in all the way to the Supreme Court. In a https://www.scotusblog.com article, A…

"constantly redefining machine guns or pistol braces" Pistol braces was struck down not on second amendment grounds, but because the ATF failed to comply with the Administrative Procedures A…

It's because that is the constraints that the U.S. Constitution places on our form of Federal government. The Congress passes laws (and controls the money), the Executive implements the law, and …

Neat! Amazing work young man!

Same! I regularly get address change notifications from the IRS in duplicate despite nothing visible changing about the address.

As a business owner, I can tell you certain letters have a look to them before opened and can trigger anxiety and “heart skip a beat.” A letter looking like its from a law firm is going to trigger con…

What about the simple, "may I talk to you for a minute in private?" And then clearly state the information that you need to share.

Are the antenna diodes only there to reduce damage during manufacture or is there also impact runtime in an electromagnetic noisy environment?

Scheme! Now that is some code I have not seen in a long time.

I use it with docker-compose.yml in Rails and Django applications to catch all emails coming out of a local development copy and be able to confirm they are sent as well as to troubleshoot the layout …

This is a development tool, not production. For it's intended use it is mature. There has been Git activity within the last year so I am not sure why that would be considered unmaintained by some…

Me too! I have VB3 opened right now in Windows 3.1 on qemu. I have not done anything serious with it in a long time though.

HTML has a fieldset that looks like that. But too many CSS frameworks wreck it. I actually like the look. To prove it to yourself, place the following in a empty HTML file and see how it renders. <…

I am using Hugo since 2019. Prior to that Jekyll. Both will handle what you want! I am not sure about tex markup because I have not tried to use it since grad school but seems like a good idea to look…

I attended the referenced talk by Dan Lorenc in Alpharetta this week. It was very interesting. He hammered on how many licenses flunk the OSI test despite claiming to be open source.

I hope your health does improve and you get to go on your hunt! Sounds like a good thing to plan for. Leathermaking is a good use too considering the unsafe mercury levels found in the Python meat.

Here is an official Florida government source on the humane methods for killing a python. https://myfwc.com/wildlifehabitats/nonnatives/python/humane-... - Your method …

That explains my confusion. I am just getting old. The 2011 Kindle Fire still works though power is predictably degraded. I end up using the app on my phone more or my 1st Gen Paperwhite anyway.

Is there a chance that this reinterpretation runs afoul of the administrative procedures act like some of the recent ATF actions (reinterpreting the Gun Control Act of 1968 without a new act from Cong…

Pedantic clarification. My Kindle Fire in 2011 had color. This is specifically about an eInk display Kindle? The article talks about the "the first-ever color Kindle" without specifying tha…

Because publishers don’t push structured data or APIs enough to satisfy demand for the data.

Yes, and I have been surprised by at least one who told me that I needed to blog more often. We have very little interaction since graduate school. I have been running the same website, which has unde…

I use dockerized mailcatcher for this. Used it for years with ruby on rails and now use it for everything.

Indeed and insurance too. For our business, our professional errors and omissions coverage for years had the ability to cover cyber issues. No more. That requires cybersecurity insurance and the under…

I can answer this. For the same reason I have run ClamAV on Linux development workstations. Because without it, we cannot attest that we have satisfied all requirements of the contract from the client…

Love this! What a wonderful idea. I hope to encourage my daughters to do similarly as they learn about computers.

Really? How much lower? I have had my own modem so long I never knew this. Not that I would switch to theirs.

Was this ever actually used in real life or was it an experiment only?

Fascinating! What a fortuitous mistake for historical preservation purposes. Also a good lesson in why media overwrites are important.
