Well well well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions

Things made out of wood don't suddenly stop working cos you looked away for 15 seconds and Wood v2.1.4 is incompatible with Nails v4.0, but if you upgrade Nails you also have to upgrade Paint to v2.2 and they completely changed their API because the old API wasn't sufficiently cool anymore

My Dad does this with adults running marathons; it's way more involved than just running with someone; the visually impaired person sets the pace so you have to run a marathon while someone else decides how fast to run, while also trying to anticipate their stride a few seconds in advance so you can spot potential hazards then communicate them back to your partner who needs to have absolute trust in you that you are going to keep them from hurting themselves. You essentially end up being a rally car navigator for a person

As a software dev who has lost weeks of his life dealing with timezones, leap days, daylight savings time, date math and other associated nonsense I fully support this being the way the world is. I don't want to go through the transition to get there though

This is the sort of thing the cranky old wizard says to the hero before inevitably teaching them about mushrooms so they can go on a magical adventure

One the one hand, fuck Rudy, hope they find every cent of his and he ends up living out the rest of his days in a dingy, shitty apartment wallowing in his own piss while barely being able to afford food.

On the other hand, if you lent him money it's because you are either an amoral leech, or your expected favours from Trump in return.

Fuck everyone involved in this I guess?

1.4Pb (~175TB), the quoted number of movies is based on a 14GB movie which is very small (most BluRay disks hold somewhere between 25 and 50GB) and no discussion about write speed, so basically this is cool research that someone has done and is no closer to a commercial product that any of the dozens of other articles that have come out on this topic in the last 15 years

• kids don't have a choice, the state has an obligation to protect them from harms even if their parents willfully put them at risk
• Vaccines aren't 100% effective, a certain number of children will catch the disease even if vaccinated
• Vaccines aren't available to everyone
• Greater spread encourages more mutation, leading to more dangerous variants

Sounds familiar right.

Remember all those siblings and extended family members who died of smallpox when you were younger? No? That's because we drove smallpox to the edge of extinction through aggressive vaccination campaigns over decades. We almost managed to do the same with measles until these chucklefucks ruined it for cheap political points, and now 136,000 people died from it last year

I had a client once who used to be obsessed with this. By his logic, if a potential customer visited the website and had a bad experience because the site didn't work properly in their browser, they'd think the company was unprofessional and wouldn't come into the store and we'd lose them as a customer forever. Analytics showed that 99+% of people would visit in one of the big three, and he wouldn't pay for someone to test the site on the less popular browsers, instead he insisted on fingerprinting logic that broke all the time and probably caused more bounces than any possible rendering quirks from niche mobile browsers would have caused

Running web services on a device that hasn't seen a security patch in 3 years seems like a bad idea.

Also, unless you can mount a real hard drive, you are going to very quickly run into I/O bandwidth issues and flash longevity limits

Personally, if you can't tell me if you are running Windows or MacOS, I don't really want you downloading my software

I wonder why the tablet app ecosystem on Android is so poor? Could it be that the Google has spent the best part of the last decade firmly pretending that Android tablets don't exist, and people should just buy a Chromebook? Maybe that might have something to do with it?
