Why limit it to black VS white? Go lizard or amphibian or fish or something. Just making the people black isn't that interesting.

To be fair, it's as "new" as what the major record labels put out!

Hey now! This design met all the PM's requirements 😤

I'm failing to see the problem. As long as one of the languages isn't PHP they're still probably better off 🤷

If you're putting in a dishwasher just drill the holes. Your landlord will thank you for saving them the trouble of having to do that themselves some day.

I don't think any normal landlord would give two shits about some dishwasher-hose-sized holes drilled under a sink, between internal cabinet walls, that no one will ever see. Such holes are so far back and out of the way... No one would ever notice unless they're missing.

Wait: Do the times listed on the screen of your washer/dryer actually reflect reality

My dryer will say it's got 20 minutes remaining for like an hour and a half. And yes, I clean the lint screen and vent regularly (all the way up to the roof!).

They'll help you develop and test your AI stuff on Linux but not Windows (I don't think... Completely different team of engineers).

I'm wondering what will happen when loads of games have built-in generative AI... Will these two paths cross and finally give us Linux folks Nvidia (graphics) drivers that are actually good? 🤔

This is a great idea! Lock picking is fun and super impressive to laymen (haha).

Just don't tell anyone but your closest, most trusted friends (haha). Also, tell them to keep it a secret! Why? So your neighbor doesn't knock on your door at 2AM because they locked themselves out of their apartment.

Also, you don't need cutaway locks! They're neat toys but nothing more. What you really need is a variety of locks to play with.

Head to your local hardware store and pick up a bunch of cheap locks. Or just ask friends if they have any old padlocks they're not using (most people will have one or two).

Docker containers aren't running in a virtual machine. They're running what amounts to a fancy chroot jail... It's just an isolated environment that takes advantage of several kernel security features to make software running inside the environment think everything is normal despite being locked down.

This is a very important distinction because it means that docker containers are very light weight compared to a VM. They use but a fraction of the resources a VM would and can be brought up and down in milliseconds since there's no hardware to emulate.

An electric version of any instrument can be as small as you want it to be. It's just a matter of training and ergonomics at that point.

For example, if you've got 10,000 hours playing the cello it wouldn't be very easy to translate that into having equivalent skill playing a tiny electric version. But it could be done. Nooo problem!

The technology is there, it's just that there's no demand 🤷

Linux never ran on the Commodore 64 (1984). That was way before Linux was released by Linus Torvalds (1991).

I'd also like to point out that we do all rely on non-proprietary protocols. Examples you used today: TCP and HTTP.

If we didn't have free and open source protocols we'd all still be using Prodigy and AOL. "Smart" devices couldn't talk to each other, and the world of software would be 100-10,000x more expensive and we'd probably have about 1/1,000,000th of what we have available today.

Every little thing we rely on every day from computers to the Internet to cars to planes only works because they're not relying on exclusive, proprietary protocols. Weird shit like HDMI is the exception, not the rule.

History demonstrates that proprietary protocols and connectors like HDMI only stick around as long as they're convenient, easy, and cheap. As soon as they lose one of those properties a competitor will spring up and eventually it will replace the proprietary nonsense. It's only a matter of time. This news about HDMI being rejected is just another shove, moving the world away from that protocol.

There actually is a way for proprietary bullshit to persist even when it's the worst: When it's mandated by government.
