oedoedxef··on Metallica Fuels Student Protests in Istanbul as Dozens Detained
Maybe Twitter should suspend Metallica's account too.
oedoedxef··on Gettin' Ziggy with It on the Pi Zero
I am pleasantly reminded of that spoof on the Danish language... "Kamelaasaaaaa!" "Skal vi taler norge i dag?"

Kill me. More bloat, more things pushed on me that I need to respond to.

Pffffffft I am resisting my natural tendency to get very angry at reading this. Sales is a profession where the top 1% of earners are like lottery winners and the bottom 99% of earners are like customer service.

In software engineering, the gains are much more equally distributed and the contribution to society is more valuable.

It has a license plate on it.

Take a look at the Roadkill episode where they made the Monte Carlo and then took it to get registered and the DMV lady came out to inspect in and just walked away after looking at the color scheme. Everything was structurally fine, it just looked beat up with surface rust.

Advertised as street legal in the post.

I've also seen a mini-cooper on youtube with a jet in the back doing the same thing on the highway :)

I'm all for awesome engineering projects, in which this project is not deficient, however if this thing can be street legal then I don't understand why so many other cars are not allowed to be.

Even when this thing is working as intended. it's shooting hot flames out the back.

oedoedxef··on The Zodiac Killer's most uncrackable cipher has, at last, been solved
That is extremely interesting. If the FBI is correct that Allen is not the correct suspect, then it's a very strange (though not computationally rare) coincidence.
oedoedxef··on SpaceX gets $886M from FCC to subsidize Starlink in 35 states
Why is it strange? Why should us software developers be allowed to work from home, but others who need a livelihood and provide valuable services to society should not be allowed to produce goods from home?

After all, dentists and tailors see clients in their homes, and people who sell t-shirts online often manufacture and ship the goods from their home.

Currently, or 5 years from now? Anyone working in the "services" industry, which is most of the United States, can work from home. And if the laws ever change for restaurants and auto-repair shops, I suspect you might see that being done from home as well.

Crappy is your subjective opinion. Others, including review sites, gave it above average views.
oedoedxef··on YouTube Down
GCP doesn't consider it to be an "outage" if you are able to access a website (e.g "youtube.com") and get a 200 OK response. So, when you go to the status page for the cloud service, it will show green checkmarks, meaning everything is ok.

But, the video you are trying to watch won't load, and will throw a 500 error. But this isn't considered downtime, for them.

So we've already broken 5 9's of uptime, will we also break 4 9's as well?

Select microservices in action! If AWS/GCP/Azure are taking score, then this isn't an outage because DNS resolves a-ok!
oedoedxef··on YouTube Down
Microservices in action! Can visit the site, see comments, but can't play videos. Go to twitter, check the latest tweets containing "youtube down", thousands of results coming.

Now I know why I used to download all my favorite videos to USB/SSD!
