It’s as if Toyota and Samsung are adjectives just as the word “dangerous” and “mortal” can be used as an adjective.

The image of asian women in their traditional clothing hints of them gossiping. They are probably talking about some event and one of them comment “Toyota, Samsung, even” to remark the positive/negative significance of the event.

What if it’s yellow? That’s what I want to find out.

Heck yeah

That you pay for just 5 dollars per month.

I’d like to go back and play the AC series. Played from the first AC to this one, and stopped because of burnt out.

Now it seems like I’ve been missing a lot and skipping some games to continue to the latest games feels like I won’t be able to enjoy the series.

I don’t think that’s convenient for him. Let’s email him for his consent.

Was thinking this looks familiar, and somehow it’s related to Linux. So it is!

What’s the tech stack you work with with that setup?

So, uh, how do you live in modern society?

Shameful is very much an understatement…

But open-source doesn’t always mean working for free, nor does it mean people do it for purely ethical (or socialist?) reason.

There are lots of reason why open-source is attractive after discounting ethics and money. I imagine being credited for being a major contributor to a popular open-source project would mean better job opportunity in the competitive tech job market. The gig doesn’t directly offer you money, but it does gravitate the right company that has the money to fund your work they find very valuable. In a sense, this isn’t that far from how capitalism work – credits are due to the people who brings most value to the society, whether the source of the software are open to all or not.

This is of course a very superficial statement to make, but I remember Eric Raymond wrote about this in more a detailed (and more convincing!) manner in The Cathedral and the Bazaar.

Literally buy me a coffee and deliver it straight to my house.

Thanks for the explanation.

Trump’s grazed in the ear, inches away from death. That’s sick, man.

I don’t use screw drivers enough to know what these are for. But from a programmer’s standpoint, punishing people to deviate away from standard may cause more harm than good, no?

Suppose it’s easier/cheaper/more effective to deviate a bit from standard, why should I be punished to do things a bit differently?

TIL. Damn.

Reminds me of the how early the covid policies were based on age-old misconceptions about aerosols.

Using http.server is my go-to sanity check method if my configured my network firewall correctly or not.
