Notwithstanding the people responding, yes, it is extremely uncommon in "big box stores".
michaelterryio··on Show HN: Timelinize – Privately organize your own data from everywhere, locally
I can never find it now, but someone had an idea for a computing system which was purely temporal for every object and then you'd only access outside of temporal by filter.

I wish I could find it again.

michaelterryio··on Observable Notebooks Data Loaders
How does this fit with Framework? Is Framework still part of the plans?
michaelterryio··on Pentagon Docs: US Wants to "Suppress Dissenting Arguments" Using AI Propaganda
It's a bit strange you think the government has a problem with any of those things. Those are not the right examples.
michaelterryio··on Every Champion Needs a Rival
In football, the QB generally decides the outcome of the game and their performance is directly comparable.

I admit there's some weirdness that they don't face off directly, but that's why.

michaelterryio··on Covers as a way of learning music and code
Benjamin Franklin talks about this in his autobiography.
michaelterryio··on Why Elixir? Common misconceptions
I mean, lots of extremely talented and successful engineers, e.g., DHH, think strict typing is actually a negative. I think if you think strict typing is an absolute disqualifier, you should steelman the opposing side.
michaelterryio··on The fish kick may be the fastest subsurface swim stroke yet (2015)
On the other hand the NFL’s hard salary cap and consequent parity is what has made it the most popular US professional sporting league. People in the US don’t want to see big markets buy their way to championships.

Even enforcing has a dumb ring to it.

It’s trolling because the photos are easy to substitute or not use at all. No one is going to knowingly post a blog photo costing them 400 quid. It’s a gotcha.
michaelterryio··on A couple of messages about changes to ianVisits
A good samaritan among the staff of their IT consultants and the owners will never know.
michaelterryio··on A couple of messages about changes to ianVisits
And only if they file, which is a big risk to the debt collector since a lot of folks would fail to pay up regardless of judgment.

> trying to earn an honest living from their chosen profession

Every once in awhile you just have to lol.

michaelterryio··on Viral illnesses may increase chances of developing neurodegenerative diseases
You don’t have to do anything to avoid flu vaccines. I “avoid” them because you have to waste precious time and I never get sick and I don’t like the experience of getting shots.
michaelterryio··on We are unable to refund mistaken purchases, and/or if you don't like the game
Ugh, you’re so right, but they’re so right too!
michaelterryio··on How to Do a Handstand
Probably just a muscle spasm. This has happened to me a lot when I start a new exercise or restart an exercise after a long layoff, particularly handstand push-ups and to a lesser extent other exercises targeting the neck or upper back. It’s actually interesting you had the same experience, it’s not it’s me.
michaelterryio··on Getting a vanity phone number with four consecutive digits
When I was a CSR at old AirTouch Cellular I would look for cool numbers and when 999-9999 in Phoenix came available I snapped it up for my employee phone benefit. You can’t imagine how many wrong dials and prank calls you get. I gave it up after a month.
michaelterryio··on We lost 54k GitHub stars
GitHub should restore it and they should do it to cause themselves pain so they address the the improvement they can make to the Uc.
michaelterryio··on Ask HN: Easiest way to build a CRUD app?
This sounds like priming the Hacker News community for a follow-up submission (by a different account of course) introducing the perfect answer.
michaelterryio··on An alarming trend in K-12 math education: a guest post and an open letter
Yes, “for now we aren’t eliminating because we could never force that through, but we will definitely be eliminating at the right opportunity and this moves us toward that”.
michaelterryio··on Three Ways to Debug Code in Elixir
Yep, and here’s a nice intro video from this year’s ElixirConf:

michaelterryio··on Three Ways to Debug Code in Elixir
Ah, yes, this is how I refactor in Elixir too. I feel icky about it from a DRY standpoint but I’m training myself to ignore the scolds that held me back from being productive for so long.
michaelterryio··on Photos are too flattering now
I’ve always thought photos make people look less attractive than they do in real life, so maybe this is a matter of opinion.
michaelterryio··on The wealthiest 10% of Americans own a record 89% of all U.S. stocks
The seems very reasonable?
michaelterryio··on The Hindenburg disaster denoised, upscaled, and colorized using ML [video]
A bunch of the comments in this thread are inappropriate. There’s no justification for the over-the-top insulting language on this forum.
michaelterryio··on Google, YouTube to prohibit ads and monetization on climate denial content
So, what us promoters of free speech read this as is, “anything that qualifies the unified messaging of the dominant orthodoxy is banned.”

Anthropogenic global warming is of course true. But there is an absolute metric ton of shit to qualify about the messaging and particular facts, claims, and policies around it. Some of this qualification will come from adversarial debate where the policy opponents are mostly wrong, but still provide some nuggets of truth.

Now I know that YouTube cannot be trusted to host this discussion.

michaelterryio··on Hi, I'm David
True, that life is short and they are decent at cost/benefits.
michaelterryio··on Refinement Culture (2020)
Most people, including me, do not think bad officiating is randomly distributed, so human officiating is inherently unjust.
michaelterryio··on CSS is no longer a core skill
Perhaps ironically Tailwind has helped me understand CSS much better than I used to. Adam Wathan has some brilliantly elucidating tutorials on his YouTube channel.
michaelterryio··on Making Vaccine
Something like that advice would have been good for Ben Franklin too. And Marie Curie. Some people want to survive and some people want to be heroes.
