None of that seems very rational

We must be eating very different types of bread then because slicing bread produces way more crumbs than pre sliced by a considerable margin and always has. Main reason I buy sliced bread, really.

This still presents an issue with shebang lines, though. I use ‘#!/usr/bin/env bash’ to work around this but occasionally have to modify other peoples scripts if they’re relying on newer bash features.

The library for every streaming service sucks now due to fragmentation. A Usenet and indexer subscription are way cheaper and have a full selection and no ads.

Looks like they don't ship Apple Silicon builds, unfortunately.

Or, like, reduce air pollution since in addition to this possibility it's already known to cause asthma, lung cancer, and heart disease.

Kern is an unhinged, extreme right whackjob so I would take anything he claims with a grain of salt regardless of your feelings on Hong Kong or Activision Blizzard.

Better late than never, I guess?

Riot's encryption functionality is currently unfinished and not very user friendly, otherwise I'd agree.

A better solution would be to pan the production and use of disposable plastic bags altogether like most countries did with plastic microbeads.

It's bad, but at the same time it's hard to blame people doing it too much when it's literally in the npm documentation: https://docs.npmjs.com/troubleshooting/common-errors
homulilly | 8 years ago | on: Do not use NPM 5.7
I guess they're just refusing to acknowledge that upgrading npm installed the "prerelease" version?

I really wish node would ship with Yarn instead of NPM. Every serious js project these days already uses it.

Specifically bad union rules. European countries also rely on union labor and don't have this problem. Another factor mentioned in the article is poor management which seems to be a common theme in America.

I've been wanting to do something like this for awhile since I already keep fish (as pets) and grow hydroponics separately. Unfortunately living in an apartment there's only so much space and I can't do things like run pipes under the floor.
homulilly | 8 years ago | on: It’s time to give Firefox another chance
The beta seems pretty good, but after noticing some bugs im reminded again of one of the reasons I quit using Firefox in the first place: Tabs look fucked up on MacOS and some Linux themes, a fix exists, but it's been pushed back to version 58 even though 57 is still in beta. If you don't prioritize user experience in a web browser, then what's the point?
homulilly | 8 years ago | on: This is how Netflix's top-secret recommendation system works
I must not fit into one of their "taste groups" because I've found they're suggestions to be worse than useless.
From the article it sounds like they're more concerned with trying to get people turned on too long running original series cash cows than showing them good suggestions anyway. their Black Mirror = Luke Cage suggestion example is laughable.

I think the right to free speech ends when it becomes threats of violence and white nationalism has gotten to that point.
homulilly | 8 years ago | on: Daily Stormer Moves from GoDaddy to Google
the problem is that sometimes allowing one person free speech has the effect of silencing others. looking at history and the current political situation in the us, I think allowing neonazis free reign to express themselves does far more to stifle free speech than desiring censoring them does because of the threats of violence, both explicit and implicit, laced throughout everything they say and do.
