Both, but the biggest issue has been reverting to my side while asleep. I've re-aggravated my rhombus muscle a number of times doing that.

I've never heard of acupressure mats before. I might check that out.

To sleep on my back. Being a life-long side sleeper has caused a lot of shoulder and upper back problems that sometimes make it hard for me to reach out and type. I wish I'd done this ages ago. It's one of the hardest things I've had to learn.

Sterrad sterilization machines, which use a hydrogen peroxide gas plasma, have been shown to be very effective against CJD (mad cow) and other prion diseases. However they are very expensive, and almost 20 years after their launch there are only 20k systems installed world wide.

Not just non-techies. I use a band-aid (doesn't leave adhesive on the lens) because toggling the video settings on Win10 is a pain in the ass.

Don't you know? Liberals automatically blame Russia. Conservatives automatically blame China. Me, I Blame Canada. Damn you, Gordon Lightfoot!

Maybe they all watch CSI, Dateline, etc. and know how to avoid detection better.

He tweeted out "uh oh" today at the news, so it might live on.

Plus:

- "These are the first mRNA vaccines ever released. We don't yet know the long term effects."

Where do you live that does that? In my area, students and Boy Scout troops do fundraisers where they come around and pick up the trees. They take the trees to landscaping suppliers, who in turn them through a wood chipper to make mulch.

Have you ever used Visual Studio? It sounds like you're describing the code analyzers that have been available for several years now.

For example, with an opportunity for string literals, there will be a light bulb in the left border. Pressing "Ctrl ." will bring up a list of suggested fixes. You can opt to select one, hit Enter, and the changes are automatically applied.

I believe there are similar extensions for VS Code.

Colorblind people would be a good target market. Two people in my family are colorblind, and picking out things that match can be a challenge for them.

Nice. I didn't know that there were bindings for other languages now.

Because then you have to use C++. That alone is a big turnoff to a lot of developers.

It also seems to be the inspiration for the end of the Aussie movie Swinging Safari (2018), one of my favorite quirky movies in the last few years.

Depends on the purpose. If you want to show the nuances, then, yes, it is effective. But, if I didn't know the results of the election, I don't think I could even take a guess looking at that map.

I don't believe there is a Grand Unified Theory of Election Maps. Use different maps to convey different facets of information.

As an American, I'd never heard of American Chip Spice, so I had to look it up (http://americanchipspice.co.uk/about/).

> "Where did this ground breaking product come from?" I hear you cry. Well (obviously!) American Chip Spice started in Yorkshire.

I don't have anything to add. I'm still laughing.

You have now been suspended from your Oculus for wrongthink.

My point is, it's not overt like government suppression, but pressure can be applied nonetheless.

Having attended University of Forged in Fire for many years, I am now an overconfident internet authority on knife making. What you are referring to is call "san mai", not Damascus.

Sad to see they're leaving the Excel add-in development scene behind with .NET 5. VBA is cross platform (PC/Mac) but ugly, old, and very limited. They've hinted at Python scripting support for years, but have never done anything. And now they say they'll focus their future efforts on web add-ins, but from what I've seen web add-ins have been limited to read-only and embedded external content. Plus, most people I know still prefer the desktop version.

I don't know, but I kind of like "i" being the plural of "us". It makes all my decisions seem unanimous.

My comment was in reply to the GP's statement that it was a waste of money. When the federal government gives out money, it has a ripple effect as that money is spent on goods and services. Creating a service-based job will have a larger ripple effect, and creating a manufacturing job generally has the largest ripple effect.

So if you have a magic wand or just happen to become dictator, please keep in mind the multiplier effects when deciding where to spend the money. ;-)

I feel for you, but military spending is a massive federal jobs program. Each job created has a job multiplier effect, creating additional jobs in the surrounding area. Manufacturing jobs producing military equipment have a much bigger job multiplier effect. So if you were to wave a magic wand and half military spending overnight, the economic impact would be disastrous, and many more people would be in dire economic situations.

Hi Steve. I took your original course 8 years ago. I wasn't aiming for a sys admin career - just wanted to be comfortable maintaining a server for my site. It worked well for that.

I emailed you a few times, and you seemed like a genuinely nice guy. I just wanted to chime in and say thanks and wish you the best of luck for both your health and the legacy of this project.

When I was in the service, Stars and Stripes was so censored that to call it journalism would be an overreach. It's not 1945 anymore. Being represented in print isn't worth much these days - especially by a propaganda rag.

Doesn't seem misleading to me. I think most readers would take it in context of the COVID pandemic, not all time highs. Plus, is pre-Great Recession a good benchmark? That housing market was buoyed by a lot of bad subprime mortgages. Of course it was bigger.

I've always felt that textbook pricing is predatory and should be subject to price gouging laws.

A few years ago, an HN'r posted his "bugsweeper" version here (https://www.ronilan.com/bugsweeper/). I have wasted hundreds of hours playing that game. If you haven't wasted countless hours, then you are at least smarter than me.

Amazon sells over 100 million different products. At that scale, especially with 3rd party vendors, some customers are bound be to victims of fraud, while others are unaffected.
