My poodle knows how to tap the homepad with his nose to play music. He gets up to it, taps it, and then curls down beneath it to listen. It’s very cute and definitely intentional on his part.

I associate the word “straphanger” with tabloid media. They have some words that they really like. It doesn’t really even make sense for NYC Because the subway doesn’t have straps.

IMO the ideal thing to do for hamburgers, mac and cheese, and grilled cheeses (the three foods that I would consider using American cheese for) is this:

Half american cheese for meltiness, half gruyere or other aged flavorful cheese for flavor.

A lot of modern recipes suggest that approach and it has worked well for me.

Great article, thank you for sharing.

But he lives in NYC (Staten Island). It’s his own local government.

I wonder if his study was simply underpowered, and there may be a real but small effect.

An underpowered study is one that doesn’t get statistically significant results for a real effect because there is not enough data collected to distinguish between a small effect and random chance.

Sometimes I wish that I didn’t have a corporeal body. It would be better to just be a mind.

Swift was developed by a lot of former C++ committee members, and in C++ circles they’ve been advocating for it as a “successor language” for quite some time.

This could definitely be confusing if you don’t have that context, but making Swift useful for this kind of project has been an explicit goal of the Swift developers for years.

Kingdom Hearts kinda had this with the Heartless (from a person’s heart) and the Nobodies (from a person’s body).

Headcanon: Trump is a Slitheen.

I don’t know the details of the situation in Poland, but Poland does have an 87% home ownership rate.

There’s also a whole industry of ex-Googlers reimplementing Google tooling as SaaS services to sell to other ex-Googlers at other companies.

There’s even a lookup table: https://github.com/jhuangtw/xg2xg

(some of those are open source projects, some are SaaS services)

I haven’t tried this, but if you just need the parent to call waitpid on the child’s pid then you should be able to do that by attaching to the process via gdb, breaking, and then manually invoking waitpid and continuing.

Inbox for me. I still manage my email the way that Inbox taught me to do it, but it just isn’t the same.

I hate the capslock thing. I sometimes feel like I’m the only person who regularly uses capslock (for C macro names and SQL when programming, but also for typing acronyms).

I don’t mind the function key thing. Even from memory I can say that in a browser F5 = refresh and F11 = fullscreen. But kids probably are less likely to know those these days so a label could be helpful.

The way the article makes it sound is, if individual employees download OracleJDK while on the company network, and use it for small personal scripts or automation, then that might be enough to trigger Oracle to act.

If your company is large enough, then enough employees may have done that to make you a reasonable target for litigation if you don’t work something out with Oracle. And Oracle is an expert at litigation.

I think that the best defense for a large company would be to IP block all Oracle domains and periodically scan employee laptops for any Oracle products (especially JDK and VirtualBox guest additions) and delete them.

You really have to treat anything that Oracle touches as malware if you want to protect yourself.

Seems like a puzzle platformer with dress-up and other "comfy" features. Could be interesting.

CrossCode. It's a 2D ARPG with a good story and well-designed world with puzzles, exploration, and combat.
