Pretty much the only credit I'll give to Amazon is that they give the option to get plaintext emails. Doesn't mask the larger problems, but still a nice thing I wish was the norm.
That should be up to the recipient. Every other vendor provides this essential information in order confirmations.
Amazon's refusal to do so means you can't search your E-mail history for purchases (at tax time, for example). Or for warranty info or service. You may not know where you bought a particular item. Or which Amazon account you might have used.
If everyone followed Amazon's anti-customer example, you'd have to log into every E-commerce site you ever bought something from and search your order history... year by year... to find something. Unacceptable BS.
I don't mean to detract from the point of the article but the phrase "according to Quora" made me wince. Even though it follows a relatively minor detail it still feels weird that people use it as a source of real information.
Have you tried using the Determinate Systems installer? This (supposedly) helps to not break everything on system updates. As far as I can tell, it works.
It adds a launchd service that makes sure stuff sourcing your Nix environment setup script is present in all your shell units on boot, so they get reestablished when macOS updates nuke them.
macOS apps do weird shit to work around macOS quirks. But it's a really good installer. Can't recommend it enough.
And chances are the roasters actually care about making it taste good. It's rare but you can find great decaf coffee if you look for it.
To me, it is weird that all coffee revolves around caffeine; I find the complex tastes way more rewarding than the milligrams of caffeine I get from it.
> we're also not allergic to complexity the way we should be.
Very well put. I think the majority of why performance isn't a goal anymore can be attributed to this. So much software today is written like it's running on a supercomputer (and in comparison to computers even just 10 years ago, it is). Libraries have become crutches rather than tools.
That was the result of wanting to do something to celebrate PR 500[1] and being repeatedly nerd-sniped by one of the other maintainers a while back. The source code for the demo[2] is in the repo btw.
Hehe - yeah, I needed an example for the table, and figured traceroute was a good easy one. Then I remembered what happens when you traceroute bad.horse...
i've heard a ton of aphex twin and disasterpeace, one of my favorite songs being compass, and i've never even thought about this. cool to see it's hidden in such a beautiful song
This is a fascinating article that covers something I've thought about plenty of times! Genuinely how often do people take virtually the same photo at the same time? You'd think it'd be more often at places like Disney World but it's fascinating to hear it happened in a scenario like this.
I met First Wife at a festival. I sent my brother a photo of her from the day I met her. He sent back a near-identical photo of exactly the same woman in exactly the same position from the day before when he had been at the festival himself and took a photo of her lol.
One that I sometimes think about is; how often you end up in other peoples photos? I wish there was an option in e.g. Google Photos where you could share (anonymously?) your photos with people you just happen captured by accident.
We participate in a glo-riders bike ride, so 150-200 bikes/scooters all with various levels of led lights from a strip on your helmet to 500+ synced to a speaker. A bunch of people have Bluetooth speakers playing the playlist of the ride.
It's not super well known, so random pedistrians or people at outdoor tables star and record the parade on their phones, so there's multiple videos of us all around town.
