Fun language fact:

BRB, putting my bed in orbit around the black hole from TNG “Night Terror”. Can’t have bad dreams if an alien ship from a parallel dimension is blocking REM sleep.

Neither Napoleon’s consulate nor his empire were democratic. Even the directory that he overthrew only stayed in power by nullifying electoral results that they didn’t like.

Summary:

Street = Has businesses, houses, shops and sidewalks. Designed for humans.

Road = Higher speed limit than streets, generally no businesses or sidewalks, as it’s just there to connect areas. Designed for cars.

Stroad = A connection between areas that also has businesses. You have higher speed limits, minimal sidewalks and it’s dangerous/impossible to cross on foot. The only way to get around to different businesses along a stroad is by car.

The server code could also be released as a binary blob under a proprietary license. No different from distributing any other piece of software.

It was a giant open-plan office and there were only 1-2 people constantly vaping, so I didn’t smell much. It was quiet though, so it could be easily heard.

Everyone else did the right thing and smoked/vaped on the roof every hour. Any why wouldn’t you? It’s a guaranteed break away from your crummy desk.

In my anecdotal experience, French people vape a shitload.

I had French coworkers who vaped nonstop in the Paris office. You could hear the click of the heating element every few minutes. I’ve also seen old French ladies ripping from huge tricked out vapes.

At my last job, there was no planning of work/projects. Like, there was a general plan of “We need feature X by Q3 and here’s what it should do”, but nothing about breaking work down into smaller units or prioritizing different tasks.

The manager would drop an email: “Hey, can you do …” and that was it. Now it’s another thing to throw down the waterfall. Big surprise, the same bastard would harp about how the project was underperforming!

I hope USA Fencing (the org who manages competition fencing in the United States) doesn’t bend to right-wing pressure and change their rules. It is a bare minimum to respect your opponent in any martial sport. Otherwise the implicit contract of “we are fighting for sport, not blood” can’t be upheld, and you can’t trust your opponent to engage safely.

It’s probably using WebView, or whatever it’s called where an android app brings up a browser window. If you have Firefox as your default web browser, apps will use it instead of chrome. It’s usually pretty nice, because if you have adblock in Firefox you also get adblock in the app.

It’s possible that the sign-in webpage wants to talk to the camera before returning control to the app.

If it’s trying to talk to a device over Bluetooth or USB, it’s not supported in Firefox. Mozilla refuses to implement WebUSB because they think the danger of letting people accidentally flash malware onto a physical device outweighs the benefits.

I don’t eat at many expensive restaurants, but that plating reminds me of watching the old Japanese Iron Chef episodes, and how 90’s the food presentation is. Sometimes I look at the (probably delicious) dishes made on that show, and the presentation looks as unappetizing as a 1960’s salad jello. I lack the right words as a culinary critic, but this style seems like “what people 30-40 years ago expected fancy food to look like”.

The episode where Neelix dies and gets ressurrected by Borg technology is up there as one of the best Voyager episodes. I’m just annoyed that Neelix’s new relationship with religion and death never comes up again in later episodes.

This is what the bathroom from the house on Blue Lick Road looks like after renovation.

There was nothing RESTful or well planned about this API’s interfaces, and the work to do something like that would have been nontrivial. Management never prioritized the work.

At a prior job, our API load balancers would swallow all errors and return an HTTP 200 response with no content. It was because we had one or two clients with shitty integrations that couldn’t handle anything but 200. Of course, they brought in enough money that we couldn’t ever force them to fix it on their end.

Are you able to independently confirm that the domaincheck container is listening to the right port? Eg netstat -tunlp on the host

Every time my GF Nicole joins a new instance, I make an account on there too. She’s a bit of a fediverse chick.

I understand what you’re saying, but his experiment allowed the embryos to come to term and be born as human babies. Scientists have worked with human embryos before and avoided similar outcry by not allowing them to develop further (scientific outcry, not religious). Calling his work an experiment on human embryos ignores the fact that he always intended for his work to impact the real lives of real humans who would be born.
