What’s the point then?

I think it’s a joke about (or rather, a dig at) night mode. I’d seen the blog and that “dark mode” on a previous post about syntax highlighting where he’d mentioned he preferred light mode.

I only wrote code for [email protected] which is so different to my usual tasks that it feels like a break.

It would be the best merch anyone ever offered.

I just looked and found this, is it you or a freeloader? https://www.redbubble.com/shop/unix_surrealism

I’m thinking of it the same way, and not having the readers be trade secrets but published specs is good for future digital archeologists.

For example, Dyson uses trade secrets instead of patents, so it would be harder to recreate their tech in the future.

Edit: patents not parents 🤦

“We are a technology licensing company”

This is good news from the point of view of being able to create devices that can read these crystals; as a comment on the linked site says:

The realistic lifetime of storage is the life of the last manufactured or surviving retrieval device.

What to do with people who jump the queue?

Are words in a poem lyrics?

Sounds like perhaps unified codes would be the answer to that problem!

Interesting stuff, thanks for writing it up.

I did know that US codes weren’t standardised, partially because the video covers it - perhaps I should have phrased it as “a police code” to be more technically correct. Edit: or bothered to check the video so could have written “Philadelphia police code” - but then I would have missed out on your reply.

If you read the article, you learn that the authorities never properly searched any of these freighters - that’s probably a more sensible place to start.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laZpTO7IFtA is worth the 15 minutes, but the TL;DW is that the kids are just using it as an in-joke marker (i.e. the phrase is a shibboleth), but its origin is in lyrics* by the rapper Skrilla referring to police codes for a dead body.

* are rapped words lyrics?

Firefox does seem to be clearing out their old bugs (another example is MKV support) but perhaps it’s buses arriving together and not due to some policy.

That’s almost certainly from a Brit.

Could be either.

The article shows that that’s not what’s going on:

YouTube, which is owned by Google, confirmed to The Intercept that it deleted the groups’ accounts as a direct result of State Department sanctions against the group after a review. The Trump administration leveled the sanctions against the organizations in September over their work with the International Criminal Court in cases charging Israeli officials of war crimes.

“Google is committed to compliance with applicable sanctions and trade compliance laws,” YouTube spokesperson Boot Bullwinkle said in a statement.

Did you read the article or just the headline?

Not one for trypophobics.

And then the other guy reverted that… eatingpopcorn.gif
