Thank you for fighting against the web being locked up. The openness of the web leads to valuable network effects that everyone can benefit from. Everyone benefiting from these network effects compounds and provides even more value to everyone else.

You are welcome!

Correct, HD DVD is the more obvious, and correct choice.

For small repos external USB floppy drives are only $16. IBM Formatted floppy disks are $25-$30 for 10.

Insert floppy #25

I would do it just for fun.

Elaborate? It seems like a fun joke making light of Sony’s announcement this week.

For a min, I thought "Github is going to be dead soon, so get your backup"

Probably because a lot of people here think it's some kind of conspiracy-level private information stealing scheme.

‘acts_as_chat’ feels super cute indeed.

In my experience, you still are left with these annoying parts. (Ie, figuring out how to give appropriate access to your agents)

You need a screenshot of the UI instead of a 16-pages AI-generated brand guideline.

Thats valid, will add this.

I don’t know. Will this just delay bubble burst as people will be just waiting for the index inclusion?

I like it so much when a website hijacks the way my scroll works. This is truly innovative.

Yeah, you might get disoriented and throw up if they didn't smooth it out.

I feel adoption is either super easy or super hard. No one claims the system is fair. It can also be the article skipped on these difficulties for a better headline.

Thanks for the reply. That is certainly a possibility that I didn't think of. I guess they could possibly have thought that if he was caring enough to take time out of his day to call the police and look after the baby until they arrived that he might potentially make a good parent as well.

Yeah, it's a short article. There are obviously lots of things it doesn't go into. I doubt the judge was like "want this baby? Pick it up from the orphanage, here's your receipt."

"Ser Papi" is such a great name for a Mexican bling rap artist

I saw 118 in Austin. 119 is hot.

Record temp in austin is 112, and that was during that 2011 heat wave.

I still think it's crazy that the heat wave in Portland, OR (116 deg in 2021) had higher temps than places like Austin, Dallas, Miami, etc have ever had in recorded history. An area of BC recorded over 121.

Maple Valley in Washington was allegedly 118 too - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Western_North_America_hea...

Super fun considering relatively few homes in western Washington have AC…

I had just moved into the home we bought a week before that event, about 30 miles south of Maple Valley. The AC was old (original unit from when the home was built in the early 1980s) and we knew it had to be replaced. But with everything (new appliances, etc.) we decided "we'll take care of that before next summer". And then four days of 105+ temperature, and of course, the AC died forever[1] a couple of hours in. We had a portable AC, but an elderly dog with a double coat, and my partner and our dog and I ended up hunkering down in the living room with the portable AC running 24/7 (took the edge off, but still got to mid 80s inside) and us periodically running towels under water, putting them in the freezer and using them as a "blanket" for the dog.

We thought about hotels, but anything in our town was booked. That was not a fun time.

[1] Miraculously we managed to find an AC tech who would come out to look at it. "It's dead." I don't know what he did then, but he did something else (maybe removed a cutout valve?) and said "Here, this will keep it working but might only be for a couple of hours or a couple of days and is absolutely not warrantied or guaranteed or anything". It did keep working for about four more hours before giving up completely.
