Exactly. See other comments in this thread, people saying "The only reason I haven't cancelled Netflix already is because I'm pretty sure my brother in law is using it".

This is amazing because it takes the promise of "caching Docker layers", which doesn't usually work out well in practice, and actually delivers on it.

I read most of the filing and it was surprisingly legible and illuminating.

This looks like just a spammy SEO grab.

Perhaps they spent the time building capital as privacy respecting so they could "spend" it on a moment like this?

This is only aspirational to the degree that you actually like beaches.

Disinformation is only dissent in a society where the "belief" in science depends on one's political leanings.

Can someone remind me, and I mean this seriously, why we decided that we need app stores to begin with? Why can't I just go on a website and download an apk?

+1. I suspect many of the "I could _never_ listen to music while coding! The horror!" people are those who listen to "radio" or "playlists" they are unfamiliar with. While I almost always listen to a full album, start to finish, that I know well.

In case you haven't heard of it, you can read more about the tildeverse at https://tildeverse.org/

It's basically the group of shared linux servers that popped up a few years ago with old school computing and tight nit community in mind.

I remember the Mayflower Compact vaguely from school, but didn't really understand its significance until I read this article.

Thanks for the links.

I actually read the whole Sisyphus essay, but it didn't really inspire me. I think I'm probably an Existentialist to some degree, I believe that life has no inherent meaning or value and that we have to create for ourselves such meaning. But most days I'm just going through the motions and I'd rather tune out, or "drop out" as it were. Or as Weezer says "Why bother? It's gonna hurt me."

I'm simultaneously in a married relationship where children are off the table (by our choosing), and am hopelessly bored most of the time. It's interesting to contrast these two facts.

I think life is too long, because I don't believe in any afterlife and if I die today or 40 years from now, what's the difference? Just a bunch of pain and boredom all the way down from now until then.

I lived through the DST change and it was hell. Some servers got the Java update, some didn't....ugh.

Just came here to give props to the title of the article, using the proper Daylight Saving Time (A system of Time for Saving Daylight) and not the commonly heard Daylight Savings And Loan Time.

I've tried to make a Valentine's Day website for my wife every year. This first one, with animations, was when she was playing Words With Friends alot. It actually got some attention on Reddit when she posted it: http://abbymudd.islovedby.travisbriggs.com/

This one was kind of thrown together: https://abbymudd.isverybeautiful.travisbriggs.com/

Also, as part of our bedtime routine, I write my wife a love letter email every day. They're pretty short, usually around 5-8 sentences. Well for Love Letter #400 (we celebrate certain numbers) I plugged all the previous letters into the GPT-2 small model (74 I think?) and came up with a fine-tuned model to generate automatic love letters.

I know that sounds cheesy and contrived, but she loved it. She thinks the computer letters are hilarious and remarks that some of them, I could send to her, and she wouldn't even notice the difference.

(Not going to link the GPT-2 website because it's a bit intimate).

Why not use XML-RDF? ::troll face::

Okay but when I go to the homepage, don't you think it's kind of ironic that it talks all about the achievements and badges that you can earn, then claims to be "no distractions"?

For distraction free writing. The latter actually hooks up to a blogging platform if you're so inclined. The former doesn't so, like the top thread on this post talks about, I've used it for saving all kinds of random snippets of thoughts and song lyrics and whatever.

I've used patchwork before, but can someone comment on the other applications of the scuttlebut network and where this scuttlebot fits in?

> How would anyone ever figure out how to split-screen multitask on the iPad if they didn’t already know how to do it?

Or if this article hadn't just taught me how to do it. Be right back, about to go multitask on my ipad for the first time...

I think it's a California thing. No one in SF or the Bay Area gives a shit about my job title. When I go back East to MA? Everyone's eyes are popping.

Honestly I've been seeing `quote' in bash and other CLIs for my entire career and always thought they were just funny or strange, but carried no meaning.

I also came to the comments for examples because I didn't realize there was anything below the fold, FWIW
