Me too, and I remember in the mid 2000’s before flat screens took off the biggest CRT you could get was 36", or there may have been a 40" but it was ultra expensive. One thing though is that the wider aspect ratio of modern tvs inflates the size number if you were to watch 3:4 aspect shows on a modern tv you are losing a bunch of viewing area on the sides.
Regardless, modern tvs are indeed insanely huge, and I’m loving it.
Cool though still a bit confusing, like what’s a “Device file”? Also so many of those are so similar in use like /usr and /sbin. Why would one be used over another?
I think they are actually molasses flavoured toffee if it’s the ones I’m thinking of. Always left to the very last, only to be consumed in the more dire of candy draughts
If the reaction of the kids who come to my door is any indication the best is ring pops. You can sometimes hear kids shouting to other ones down the street “hey, this place has ring pops!”
Worst: those molasses toffees with the orange/white/black wrapper

How did you find crowdstrikes test plan?
I once read that in his original iteration Cookie Monster did have a hole in his mouth so he could actually consume the cookies but children found it too disturbing so they modified it so he just sprays them everywhere.
I would guess those large SUV’s are built on heavy duty truck frames but not worked nearly as hard as a truck would be so they tend to last longer?
Here in Canada at least they have both at the moment. You can use the drive thru as usual or order through the app and give them a code at the drive thru or just park in a numbered spot and have them bring it out to you without ever talking to someone
I just hate how companies cling to agile like it’s some kind of cult. Like a company I know gave all the employees very nice swag embroidered with a big “agile development” slogan on it like your development methodology is supposed to be a source of pride or something. Of course like most companies they don’t really follow agile practice very much except where they can use it as an excuse to skimp on requirements and such.
Lol that he looks like Webb of Mitchell and Webb fame in that last picture. Works so well with the Peep Show style inner monologue too
Funny, I had a box just like that but blue and it was for Lego
Mathias Wandel on YouTube made some good videos a few years ago about maximizing airflow through a house with fans. One big finding was that rather than having a fan directly in a window or door pointing out it is actually best to have it a few meters away and directed at the opening. That allows the fan’s airstream pull in and start moving much more air in the room out the opening. He used strips of paper hanging in doorways around the house and also I think took anemometer readings to get good measures of the airflow.
I think the general theory is to run the fans starting in the evening once the air temp outside is lower than inside, then close up the house in the morning to trap the cool overnight air?

They mention in the article about Reddit now being included in search results and I’ve noticed that as well. The irony there is that Google results have been so overrun by shitty content farm sites that searching for specific things like reviews or troubleshooting for products or games was virtually useless unless you also included “Reddit” as part of your query since you were more likely to see legit people talking about product issues and solutions. Not to say Reddit isn’t astroturfed but certainly not to the level that Google’s results are. I’m not totally convinced that Google’s deal to crawl Reddit for AI purposes is directly related since bumping Reddit up in the search priority does make search results more relevant in a lot of cases.
It does seem to be an awful time for independent websites and has been for years since the big tech companies have been doing everything in their power to keep people within their walled gardens.
Hell yeah
Newsgroups go over an encrypted connection so no need to mess with VPNs and torrent boxes etc. subscribe to one or two nzb sites, a news group host and wire it up with somarr locally.
Just wait until you find out about news groups 🤯
December from '22 not '23. The image was from a few months after he took over twitter and was still going on about that stuff and how it was doing all these useless things that needed to be removed or rewritten. I just remembered another one about how he was going on about a single request to twitter causing thousands of RPCs or something? I think that’s not really unheard of in a microservices infrastructure and it’s not like they’d be synchronous. There’s probably tons of calls that go to things like tracking, analytics, or cross DC sharing I would imagine for such a large and high volume service like twitter.
FTL. At least until you’ve beaten the game several times
