I think it's an interesting concept, but by nature, it can't be trusted any more than Amazon reviews can. I'm certain the intentions are good (giving the benefit of the doubt) but it won't be long before it's completely flooded with the typical mass produced garbage.

I hate to be a cynic, I really do, but the site already shows signs of low quality submissions. Case in point:

   Subaru Liberty
   About

   The best thing about the Subaru Liberty is its reliablity and the fact that the car seems to outlast others. I had one for 12 years and it just kept going. We did a lot of Kms in this and I think we probably got another 10 years out of it.

The entry is AU specific without being marked so, and the "review" is anecdotal at best.

Maybe I've missed the point, and if that's the case, I sincerely apologize. Best of luck.

I'd have agreed with you if you hadn't used "they" in quotes as if "they" are the same ones that keep UFO's under wraps.

Touché

In other news, nearly 1200 new Door Dash and/or Uber Eats drivers join the ranks.

This is a far cry from the AT days when you could swap the motherboard power connectors and let all the magic smoke out. Those were the days. I never did it myself, but I watched a guy who was doing a working interview for a job (to be fair I was doing the same!) smoke a computer that way during his interview. They hired him anyway, and they also hired me. It ended up being the worst job I'd had to date. I don't miss the crappy computer shops of the late 90's. The good ones though, those were gold.

   “And I was a kid, so I thought love could fix anything,” she said, recalling how she hugged him good-bye once, “and he just shook.”

Wow. I did not expect to cry at this story, but here I am. How profoundly sad this man must have been.

TL;DR: using $thing for the sake of $thing is just elevated cargo culting.

    He didn’t worry about what the Agile Alliance said to do, he made the solution his own, and he excelled.

In other words, know what your problem is and solve that, instead of trying to force your problem into a favored solution.

I just bought a cheap oscilloscope (Hanmatek DOS1102) and it has the opposite oddity. It comes with a standard 5v USB adapter, but the cable going to scope is a USB A on one end and on the other... 2.5mm X 2.1mm barrel! Why they did not use a standard USB Micro or Mini (or C) connector on the scope, I'll never know.

One thing to keep in mind if thinking it should be easy to find this guy: The desert is big, looks a lot alike, and is more dynamic than people give it credit for. Earthquakes, floods, and other natural things can alter the landscape in subtle ways. Many high yield prospects were lost when prospectors could never find them again for such reasons, leading to many legends of "lost" mines.

I also think it's most likely that the man didn't want to be found, sadly. He wouldn't be the first.

The applications for transparent wood are clear.

I did some writing and documentation on contract. This led to a competitive analysis contract. This led to a full time job with a partner of my main contact.

I don't live in the city. I also have an old '88 Suburban for the hauling stuff. A 4runner would be perfect for 99% of what I want.

As for the rest being toys, I have to disagree. Toyota makes fantastic cars too. A friend has a 2010 Matrix that's just great. And his 20+ year old Camry is very good too.

I'm in the market for a used vehicle, and I am looking at mid 2010's Toyota 4runner's and Tacoma's, maybe even Tundra. It's just hard to go wrong with a Toyota.

Oh wow. This reminds me a lot of the OLGA.net (On Line Guitar Archive) back in the day before the Harry Fox Agency shut it down. Thanks for this.

Second stage lost, looks like the flight termination system did its job. Unknown as to why yet. Going to be very very interesting to see the data that's released from this as well as all the higher quality video/stills that surface.

Can't wait to see the high quality images and video from that. Wow.

And the fact that it survived long enough for the second stage to get on its way was incredible in itself. We'll see how it goes!

Fantastic, much better quality. Thank you.

For those who almost never use VLC (like me), don't download and then open the file. Instead open VLC, Update it from its ancient version, and then File, Open Network Stream, paste in

then click Play. Enjoy.

Part of it has to do with their ad provider. Ezoic is TERRIBLE.

Is Go genuinely as dependency independent as bash on a fresh Linux install? If so I'd find this very interesting and perhaps worthwhile to learn. I work in an environment where everything is done at the Linux command line. I'd be thrilled to re-do some of my my complex bash scripts in Go if there is a good advantage to doing so.

Heh. They needed Workers KV running to get Workers KV running.

Their biological father I am not. There's no way my kids would turn out the way they did if they had my DNA.

If anything, they'd be dumber.

^^^^^^^^^^ This.

We unschooled our kids. Worked beautifully. They're both as much of a success or failure as if they had gone to public school. Had more to do with their idiot gene donor's DNA than their schooling.

A friend of mine started a window washing business. We'll call it "Willy's Windows". He had a great reputation and the business reflected his name. He sold the business, and the new owner kept "Willy's Windows" because it already had a reputation attached to it. And that's your answer. Even through Acquisitions, major company changes and refactoring, a name carries a reputation. And when it's a good one, they keep it, even if it means nothing in their new state.

I just watched a vid about mast bump. It's not the rotor cutting off the tail, it's the mechanical linkage hitting the mast because the rotor has been unloaded and the collective .... something. Heli's are complicated.

When I was learning to work in HP Laserjet IIP and IIIE (and 4SI) printers (I'm old...) I was taught that those little circlips that hold things were called "jesus clips" because they fly off into the nothing, never to be seen again, and the guy working on it usually yells out "JESUS!" in frustration.

But the helicopter thing makes sense too.

I once had a microwave I called "The WiFi Killer". I work from home, and did then too, and every time one of my kids, or my wife, would use the microwave, I'd get knocked offline. They do work at 2.4Ghz, and this microwave was pretty old. Replaced it and never had another problem.

Thank you very much, I'll be checking this out!

This came to mind over the weekend as I need to figure out a way to do a very specific type of content filtering for a very specific reason in a very specific setting.

Essentially, I need to filter out any content with certain words. Not just porn filtering but a specific type of content.

A man in the middle attack is the only way to do it, but since it is legitimate need and legitimate setting, I figure that everything will have to be proxied somehow but I'm not sure how to go about breaking HTTPS and then giving it back to the browser without making everything go haywire.

If anybody has suggestions on the project it might be able to be used to do this, I would be grateful.

I love throwing out wild ideas, even ones I know to be wrong, because they may be the spark that ignites a thought in somebody else, one that isn't wrong.

That has served me well many times. It's not a panacea, but rather it's just a form of brainstorming. And it's fun!
