  • When the same happened to the Zimbabwe currency - I have a friend who keeps a trillion dollar note in his wallet - they switched to US dollars. When the US economy crashes out something similar will happen.

  • Most cli stuff is a lot easier than programming. If you can't use cli then by definition you're a shit programmer.

    Of course if you simply don't want to use cli that's a different matter.

  • It was definitely an awesome show but I hated the interlaced format. Every time they skipped from one section to the next they had to reintroduce it and give a "we got this far" segment; it always felt like the show was at least twice as long as it needed to be.

    It'd have been so much better (for me at least) if they just focussed on one thing at a time from start to end, especially when one of the experiments was fairly gruesome exploding bits of dead pig or whatever, you could skip over that in its entirety.

    But maybe the show was aimed at people with the attention span of a ferret.

  • Ever wonder how the term "pink slip" came about? This is how you were fired. A pink slip on your desk.

  • (Of course, I realise arguing with an American about guns is a fool's errand but sometime you've got to try.)

    OK so hypothetically let's suppose a right-wing cop has decided to add you to his list of murdered innocent civilians, has parked his car on the boundary of your house and is walking towards you.

    At what point exactly do you get your gun out and shoot first? Spell it out please, I'd really like to understand how this plays out.

    Please include the response of his partner who is still in the car, what that partner radios back to base, and describe the multiple responses of those who will now respond to the reports of a cop-killer. Explain how you think the resulting siege will play out and describe exactly how you win this scenario (where "win" is defined in terms of you living and not going to jail).

  • I have no idea who all you deranged people are who actually like the POV navigation

    I use both POV and up=north depending on my use case. For some routes where I don't care about the details of the route I find it useful to have the POV view with what I need now zoomed in and correctly oriented and what I'll need soon still visible and smaller but still distinguishable.

    The problem with up=north is that when you've zoomed right in to see the detail, all the wider view stuff is missing, especially when out of built-up zones. It'd be better if the detail level would be replaced/augmented with a detail density setting, so that when you're out in the sticks with only you, a small single track road with grass down the middle and one sheep visible all the way up to the horizon in any direction that you don't have to zoom right in to the individual blades of grass before you see the road you're on.

    Other times I do care about the route, and in those cases I'll use up=north and manual zoom as needed. I still get caught out though when travelling south and the arrow pointing left means I need to turn right.

    When I first saw POV I thought it was a stupid gimmick. But then I tried it out and really liked it, but not always.

  • Proton CEO endorsed Trump

    Even that's a bit of a stretch. He approved one thing Trump did. It wasn't blanket praise for everything Trump has done. He also didn't condemn everything Democratic, just one thing.

    I don't see why approval of one thing someone did constitutes automatic approval of everything. What if Trump has an amazing recipe for a ham and cheese toastie? Would liking that recipe make me a Putin sympathiser? Of course not.

  • I dismissed one today with fuckoff@wanker.com. Then I found step 2 was a paywall. I really fucking hate those popups that ask for an email without telling you there's a paywall next, sometimes there's something I think I want next but the paywall tells me I don't, but then they've already got my email even though I haven't signed up.
