  • A Cleveland, Ohio, homeowner is fed up with dealing with crash after crash into his home

    Jump

  • My mom’s house is at a T intersection at the bottom of a steep hill. When it snows at least one car ends up taking out the rock wall we built when I was a kid. Then I have to come back and rebuild it before the next storm.

    The last time it happened we could see the path the guy took home as the oil leaked out of his pan after mounting the wall.

    It’s a 30 mph road that loops so it’s mostly only delivery people and residents, but no one has made it more than 10 feet into the yard in 30 years, though the accident rate has seemed to increase in the last 10.

  • Also hot chocolate tastes 10x+ better when you’ve been out in the cold.

    The trick is you have to be out there for at least 20 minutes to acclimate. Otherwise it just hurts a little and then you get hot when you go back inside.

  • This is Jehan Pages, the top developer behind GIMP, a free open source photo editor. Adobe executives hate Jehan. Because of his hard work, Adobe lost millions of dollars

    Jump

  • Design lead here. I know photoshop like the back of my hand, but I also know Pixelmator (Mac only), Sketch and Affinity. All are very nice interfaces, one-time, or major version licenses, and smaller, responsive dev teams.

    There are compromises in all software, but my team uses Pixelmator and Affinity because we’re a small company and it won’t hurt their design skills to know more tools besides the Adobe suite.

    Gimp for a long time had shitty shortcuts and was quite unfriendly to Mac users (the REAL vendor lock-in in the design world btw). Him is just too slow to load, and ugly to look at, similar but less so with Inkscape.

    Big firms might be harder to change, but it’s possibly and there are really good alternatives that Adobe probably worries a little about. Unfortunately they aren’t FOSS for the most part.

  • Train Tracks in Conway, New Hampshire

    Jump

  • It’s a scenic railway, so it’s antique train cars that serve dinner, sight see, or recreate the Polar Express for kids in the winter.

    It might do 50kph (about 30mph) briefly, but mostly just puffs along at half that.

  • Enablers are bad, yes, but invading aggressors are worse.

    Your comment reads like “both sides” Russian propaganda.

  • Whats the worst baby name?

    Jump

  • Jim Crow and the KKK maybe. There’s always a backlash when civil rights are gained.

    We’re living through one right now. I hope we make it.

  • That wonderful feeling of seeing that you're not alone

  • I need to vent about plastic milk jugs

    Jump

  • The proof is sort of in the lifespan of the milk.

    I haven’t noticed it going bad sooner yet. It’s possible that other adulterants start showing up, but there are still lawyers that can sue companies if they find them fucking around.

    That said we need to kick the fucker who are enabling this shit, out of the government ASAP.

  • My Indigenous Ancestors on Christmas Day

  • We put out nog and cookies for Santa (me I’m the dad now) and carrots for the reindeer.

  • Boston is like 30% tourists, and 69% college students from out of town. Unless you’re in maybe Dorchester or whatever is left of ungentrified South or East Boston.

  • Anyone in tech confirm?

    Jump

  • Worked in tech for 18 years, now I fix rust old cars and try not to touch computers beyond looking up wiring diagrams and replacement parts.

  • I used to write html, JS, and CSS on long flights and saw some side eye looks, but then I’d have to test load the website I was working on for mom jeans and the jig was up.

  • Latitudes

    Jump

  • The weather in New England and upper New York is very much like German weather, and sometimes worse. We’ve had snow on the grounds since the 30th of November and it’s only barely reached 0C in the last week.

    It was -15C a couple nights ago at roughly the latitude of Rome, next to the ocean too. And only about 50km northwest (inland) it went down to -25C.

    This has been a colder December than average for the last decade, but we have mountains that regularly get meters of snow each winter, and they are way lower elevation than the alps too. Also as we all know the last decade has been stoopid warm.

    Mt Washington has measured the highest wind speed in the world.

  • Programmers are no longer needed!

    Jump

  • I used to use ORMs because they made switching between local dev DBs ( like SQLLite, or Postgres) and production DBs usually painless. Especially for Ruby/Sinatra/Rails since we were writing the model queries in another abstraction. It meant we didn’t have to think as much about joins and all that stuff. Until the performance went to shit and you had to work out why.

  • Or just building a straight close of your idea and crushing you. Happened to my startup.

  • I used to work in advertising and it was already a soul crushing career 10 years before AI tools arrived.

  • if you believe that aliens are real and have or are visiting earth, what do you hope to see happen if the government or science confirms that?

    Jump

  • Even then it would be most likely seeded by a probe from so distant that they’d never be able to travel here. Think Voyager probe, but maybe faster. If we’d sent one with a bio seed package and sent it right at the best life supporting planet we could find it’s still gonna be 10s or 100s of thousands of years before it even arrives, then a couple hundred million years for anything to evolve there.

    It would be sorta hilarious if we were a distant science experiment though.

  • 'Suddenly exposed' DOGE employees fear prosecution after Musk abandoned them: report

  • The data theft and possible espionage seems like an even bigger liability for them. They know they did illegal shit, and those star link antennas were there for that reason.
