  • TIL Woody Harrelson's dad was a contract killer and assassinated a federal judge

  • I just watched Hit Man, which claims there aren't any such thing as hit men in real life - clearly that's not the case!

  • "Commentator posts hot take, demonstrating a massive lack of empathy to people doing a stressful and important job."

  • TIL that "nginx" is pronounced "engine-x", and not "n-jinx"

  • I guess some people might go with f-s-tayb, but I wouldn't necessary recognise what they were saying.

  • Microsoft is reportedly killing Skype

    Jump

  • Yes, I still have it showing up in Windows/Android, and phone numbers show their cost per minute.

  • I have a load of credit on there still (got tricked by them deactivating my credit and topped up unnecessarily). I still use it for international calls at least once a month, I hope this news story is overblown.

  • I want a programming language that supports German style composite words

    Jump

  • Lots of the industrial programming languages are very different to "normal"/"proper" programming languages, and I can see them being localised.

    For example, this is (PLC programming language) Ladder Logic code:

  • The Phoronix comments are notoriously toxic - I went to the article mostly to witness the incoherent rage in the comments and wasn't too disappointed.

  • I tested an ink pen that digitizes your handwriting, but the app makes it truly useful

    Jump

  • the neater and more consistent your handwriting, the easier time the Nuwa pen will have captur[ing] it

    That's me out then

  • I think he caught it from Worf

    Jump

  • I don't think that's the opposite of plot armour, though - O'Brien was too much a main character (and too popular) to be killed off, so we knew he'd survive the episode/danger/trauma.

    He definitely broke his arm more than the rest of the cast combined, but was spared any serious injury until the plot required it.

  • Self-hosted Content-Security-Policy report, etc, collector/displayer?

    Jump

  • I just went to look for answers this, since report-uri.com is killing its free tier, and the lowest paid is way higher than my usage justifies. What did you settle on?

  • Quality post, with plenty of useful and good advice.

    I'm happy to see sqlite being recommended - I think people don't realise how resilient and performant a database it is.

    Very surprising to hear you need to restart GoToSocial to add new users!

  • Yes Google, 2/3 is TOTALLY the same as 1/2

    Jump

  • I thought we were finally agreeing fully! My understanding of the question is "what is the difference between a third (of a pizza, say) and a half?"

    1/2 - 1/3 = 1/61/2 = 1/3 + 1/6a half is one sixth more than a third.

    btw, I fixed my Kagi screenshot since I'd missed a word from the question (reading comprehension's clearly not my strong point today)

  • Ah, you're right - I misunderstood jbrain's point to just be about the "relative to the original" understanding. Guess I'm no smarter than Google's AI.
