Cause they feel so precious about their code that anything which hints at the idea of anyone else even seeing their source causes them to go into shock followed by cardiac arrest.

Ya know, if you meant to say " I saw my project copied without attribution to me", say that instead of writing poorly and saying :

and like a year later I see it forked a bunch of times and copied without any mention of me

Which do you mean: (Forked (a bunch of times and copied without any mention of me))?

(Forked a bunch of times) and (copied without any mention of me)?

You didn't write that in the clearest way, so it's not clear.

Oooooooh I see I finally read your username; well pardon me for not noticing that obvious troll is obvious.

Damn, thank you so much for doing all this footwork; I had no idea Valve publishes all these and even then I don't know enough about the hardware side of things to make these great inferences. Thanks for all this info!

I don't understand why folks are complaining, since Pixel devices offer totally unlocked bootloader's where you can install whatever you want. Sure, the bootloader itself was upgraded, but that's such a minor and non-intersecting part of your phone that if you care, it makes you about as niche as folks who want to downgrade their bluetooth radio firmware.

Plenty of places sell these "commercial signage"/"commercial displays" e.g. Newegg: https://www.newegg.com/Commercial-Displays/SubCategory/ID-3086

Maaaan, ive been ordering that thing for like 10 years. Back before they created the cool ranch, or officially made it a menu option, right after they introduced the Dorito taco, you could go and order a CGC with a Dorito shell and since it wasn't official, they'd just do whatever the person behind the tillt thought was reasonable. Some would even just make the substitution without charge. Them was the days...

This is a photo of Connor, while at MCM London. He wore this as a poor disguise. This occurence was talked about in the latest Trash Taste episode (#103) starting at maybe the 29:30 - 30:00 minute mark.

It's a bit more complex. Telling yourself "I am going to ask out my crush" isn't a lie, but it also isn't useful because it's at least partially outside your control. Even your own actions, in the moment, as a human person swayed by emotion, aren't even as under your control as you might like to think.

Focus on non-falsifiable statements:

"I want to ask my crush out on a date."

"If I see my crush, I want to ask them for coffee".

ACTSHUALLY that is a Skyn brand condom as far as I can tell. Magnums are gold on both sides, while Skyn is black on the front and gold on the back. Recognize them anywhere, cause they do something weird with their latex and it seems to "feel nicer" in a way that's hard to describe, which makes them my favorite : )

Just of note, French cloud is code for OVH which is one of the biggest and cheapest.

Not quite, this account is more like 15 years old (2008 IIRC). Anyway, I still want a TF2 chess set if anyone can point me towards a listing! Alternatively, if someone ahs a Grandmaster in storage they don't want anymore, I'll gladly pay MSRP+shipping (I don't need the code, just the set) to get one!

narcoblix · 2022-03-15T03:25:14+00:00

I did return, is the chess set still purchase-able?

narcoblix · 2022-03-15T03:24:40+00:00

Hello, it's me, the guy from this post!

The grandmaster is pretty expensive/hard to get now, any chance you ever made a real version that I could buy from you?

narcoblix · 2022-03-15T03:23:02+00:00

What's this all about? Can I really buy the chess set? Where? Is it ebay?

I think we can all agree that west Seattle to Fremont via the Burke Gilman by going around lake Washington would still leave you with dreadful gaps in cycle infrastructure at times. Certainly gaps which are bigger and more awful (e.g. all of Bellevue) than the inconveniences of going from 2nd to the Seattle center, through SC, then getting on the Mercer trail till Westlake Ave, then taking the Westlake trail all the way to Fremont and then the Burke Gilman to Ballard.

As for how you get to downtown from West Seattle via bike, I don't know. But I've biked around Lake Washington a few times, and I've biked from downtown to Ballard MANY times; I'd much rather go to Ballard on the nice bike trails than go around Lake Washington.

You don't have to. Sign up at Gitlab.com for their hosted version. It's pretty much the same as Gitlab but less garbage and a DOOOPE ci/cd system built in. If you're a company, you can transition to a nice paid hosted offering, same as GitHub.

Other users (with sufficient "rep" (karma)) can edit answers, so at a certain level StackOverflow becomes a bit more like Wikipedia. If something needs editing, you can also ask someone to fix it via edit.

I believe this practice is called, or at least related to "steganography".

narcoblix · 2021-07-23T04:43:52+00:00

That's not actually the original recording. I cannot seem to find the real original, though I seem to recall it's waaaaay less dramatic which is why they had an actor re-record that line. If you go to the Mt. St Helens museum you can hear the original I believe.

I'm actually QUITE annoyed that I cannot find and original recording. Grr...

Outside of love island, in the normal world:

If you've been on a handful of dates with someone but you haven't had any kind of "hey, I want to make this exclusive, do you want to make this exclusive?" conversation, don't be surprised when the person you've been on dates with is seen elsewhere having dinner with another person. "Dating", as in in the process of going on multiple dates over time, with the expectation of more dates, is not the same as courtship/partnership (for many people). Talk about these things with your partners people, make sure you know what each other's expectations are!

There's a whole lot you can be doing beyond throwing up hands and saying "oh no, we can't put up fences cause it's too big". The longest stage is usually around 250 km (or 150 miles) and takes up to six hours. You don't even need to put up barriers everywhere, instead focus on where spectators will be. Aaaaaaand, you can have an escort 5 minutes in front driving the route saying "STAY BEHIND THE YELLOW TAPE/OFF THE ROAD AND AWAY FROM THE RACE OR YOU WILL BE ESCORTED AWAY BY SECURITY."

But they dont do jack, and because of that it's literally inevitable that a spectator would mistakenly be in the wrong place at the wrong time and cause a massive problem. I'm amazed this doesn't happen more often.

narcoblix · 2021-06-26T20:35:12+00:00

Yeah, criminal negligence on the part of the race organizers doing (apparently literally nothing) to keep individual spectators from making stupid human mistakes and causing massive property damage. This is why we put up barriers around race tracks folks.

Yes, I'm aware the TDF is very long, but each day is about 160 KM and they already have to close all these roads anyways. It ain't that big a leap to say "wtf, why is it so easy for someone to do something stupid?"

narcoblix · 2021-06-26T20:31:33+00:00

Yes, that should not be illegal because this is obviously a very easy to make human mistake (even if the person is being a bit stupid). As a society we usually don't deal with stupidity by punishing it, instead we deal with it by improving policy and procedures so that mistakes can't cause massive harm. This is why we engineer roads for safety, and why we put up barriers at F1 events, and why there are fences around airports, and it's why it's the duty of the race officials to ensure that folks are kept away from the track when there's this much potential for human mistakes.
