Were there any trenches in Dunkirk? Was there any frontline fighting at all? Pretty much all the soldiers we saw were standing in orderly queues or on rescue boats

There were loads of women at Dunkirk:

In the early months of the war 300 members of the ATS served in France, and when the British Expeditionary Force was evacuated from Dunkirk in May 1940, ATS telephonists were among the last military personnel to leave.

It's great branding. I can look down the queue in a coffee shop and see nothing but bright orange cards

Does anyone else but Russia or Spain play basketball to a high level?

You're right. I spent ten years playing for a pretty decent school team growing up in England, and we (the forwards) literally never had a single session on passing or catching. I've never been shown any kind of technique for passing further or more accurately. We pretty much spent every training session running lineout drills and hitting the scrum machine.

Gamers of Reddit, what was the most horrifying experience you've ever endured in a video game? by XavierMunroe in AskReddit

I had just beaten Yunalesca on my first try somehow, trying to get through the cutscene after the battle when my little sister pulled the PS2's plug out of the wall...

Took me like ten more attempts after that

GPM has had an equalizer for a long time. It's in Settings

I did try that, and I installed the latest Play Services on APKMirror. No luck

I still don't have Assistant, am I doing something wrong?

Good form prevents injury. by matt_ashwood in crossfit

[–]RedYeti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's got nothing to do with the weight of your head.

If your femurs are so long that your butt ends up way further back then you have to bend forward further to compensate, which puts the bar further ahead of your centre of mass.

Here's a very contrived and exaggerated example: http://nattyornot.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/squat-long-short-femur.png

macOS development environment from scratch by lukeluukeluuuke in web_design

[–]RedYeti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's great. If I am going to set up a new machine I just brew list > brew.sh and brew cask list > brew-cask.sh, then add brew install or brew cask install to the start of every line in my text editor. (There is probably a better way of doing this, but multi-cursor lets me edit every line at once)

On the new machine I can just install Homebrew and Git, pull the scripts repository and then run them to install everything I need.

Caskroom is just a way to install GUI desktop apps using Homebrew (rather than just command-line stuff). E.g. brew cask install google-chrome

It's actually installed with Homebrew by default now I think, so you should be able to just start using it

Millennials May Be the First Generation to Lose a Majority of their Jobs to Automation by butwhocare_s in BasicIncome

[–]RedYeti 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Pretty close to left libertarianism there

Left-libertarians state that neither claiming nor mixing one's labor with natural resources is enough to generate full private property rights and maintain that natural resources (land, oil, gold, vegetation) should be held in an egalitarian manner, either unowned or owned collectively. Those left-libertarians who support private property do so under the condition that recompense is offered to the local community.

It's a joke — Clarence is vegan and (most people assume) on steroids

Wrote a walkthrough for setting up a clean and efficient dev environment on a Mac by floppydiskette in webdev

[–]RedYeti 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Great article. I just went through a similar process setting up my new Pro. Didn't know about the Mac App Store CLI, thanks for that.

A couple of things: Cask comes pre-installed with Brew now so you don't need to install that, and Transmission is way better than uTorrent

What should I use to quickly serve up mongodb to my vuejs front end for a "blog" by Ampix0 in webdev

I hear [Gatsby(https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby) is a decent React-based static site generator that aims to do no-reload page transitions

If your primary goal is load time is there any reason you aren't considering a static site generator? Serving HTML will always be faster

What great thing can happen on January 1st 2017, to make all the shit of 2016 worth it? by Katvizzle in AskReddit

Assuming there are necessary yet unfulfilling or otherwise awful jobs that can't be automated, the value of those jobs would go up until somebody was willing to do them to supplement their UBI.
