already it's been quite some times that I load a web page, and it appears to be completely blank as the background image was not loaded; Ok, the page may be needing js, so I will enable and reload the page, only to find that the page is still blank .. and then I realize that the content was just there, below all that empty space.

that's why I love "Reader View"

I've noted that app is expecting to start with "www." in the url.. which is not the case for my url.

But if you change that portion, LinkedIn will still find my profile, and the page seems to be working; as always YMMV

can you reversely try to guess how much other people earn?

I love that people say the will cancel their contract, and they all get Verizon's reply offering them to switch!

crisis = opportunity

There's always fdroid!

haha! I haven't thought on that

I was thinking that if mutual friends are shared, then the estimated number will be higher than real one.

I like how part-2 closes

    So what's the lesson here? If you find a way
    to make a ton of money investing in X, 
    don't tell your friends about it!

redacted _X_ was mine

Firefox's Paywall-Pass

Haha I love when spontaneously some joke takes off, even if the joke doesn't make much sense

;)

yay server-side console logs!!

Anybody knows what "nonoperational" means. Are those simply shutdown collecting space dust?

Leaving aside if it's allowed/legal .. I wonder if it's possible to establish communication with a nonoperational satellite, and what tools are required to do so

When I first finished reading the post-capitalism article, I was feeling some sort of hope. Now, after this, it's just emptiness.

Some time ago I read some metaphor a guy who build something that people really wanted, and then came another man with clubs and took it from him, build walls around it, and charged for it.

I am liking to open the images go full-screen .. to feel seeing at their machines

you can see how all they --or we?-- moved from 4:3 to 16:9

Illegal numbers!

haha. Looks like it's from `libdpkg`

could anybody w/ access post images?

Kudos for this!!

it's interesting that still there's meta, probably leftover

EDIT: wow, thanks for your answers guys!! so nice to see Cunningham's law in action ;)

Yep I agree. I was talking about compiled _high-level_ languages.

Given that today hardware is cheap and fast, why are we still using compiled languages?

Plus using languages that requires source code at runtime help lower the barrier for newcomers.

We have the OSI model, which allowed a great length of innovation for getting people connected, not matter which hardware both parties are using, or where they physically are.

Networks must be connected in order to keep moving forward, and social networks are just another type of network.

just wanted to add that maybe allowing to donate without javascript enabled could make easier for people to donate?

Hola!

Teaching to my family to use linux was actually really really simpler .. they can browse pages, install apps, and the like.

But they all sooner or later have the same question.. "where's drive C:"?

It's not simple to replace 20 years of using a metaphors .. even today we keep using disk for "save" actions

What about installing an intermediate linux system?

Like

  1. start with window pre-installed
  2. install any linux distro, fully overwriting the OEM
  3. re-install windows, from microsoft 

I'd say just stop at step 2 ;) but I can understand that not everybody can do this (eg: work computer) but want a clean OS.

will this method work to remove such bloatware?

are ambiguities only meaningful to humans?

Seems to me that computers were instructed to (1) refuse to work in front of ambiguities, or (2) resolve them by choosing one of the options.

Kind of like when `yacc` tells you that some rule is ambiguous, but then it ends up resolving it by deterministically picking always the same option.

In Firefox, the "disable javascript" checkbox is now gone from the settings --why would they do that?

But it can still be disabled in `about:config` > `javascript.enabled`

I used and loved Firefox since more than 10 years so far, but can't truly understand some decisions they took.

The .gif shows that fb already knows your CC number.

I'm curious about how many people have given fb such information? None of the people I know have done that.

The importance of these islands is that it allows Britain to claim territorial access to Antarctica.

For them, it was never about the people.

> Did he do sports? Did he develop social competences by interacting with other kids?

Completely agree with you. He has the rest of his life to get better at those areas
