Interesting take considering graphql adoption is growing and generally in favor at my company.

Is this VM somehow related to Lynx (their cross platform dev tooling?)

> Rocha explained that KOBO’s bone marrow is actually “full of oil,” even though the whale has been dead for more than two decades.

> “It’s seeping out through the pores of the bones,” Rocha said. “The outer edges of the bone are a little more porous than human bones and [gravity is] just pulling the oil out.”

I think you just fell into the trap.

Because you don’t want to share germs with other users of the browser? The logic makes no sense and I honestly can’t tell if you’re joking.
Re:Introducing passkey support to Fastmail on Wednesday August 14, 2024 @01:15AM (#41242768)
I think it’s so it can look at the login method for the account and act accordingly.

If the user is configured to use SSO it can redirect to the identity provider. If it’s password auth it can ask for the password, etc.

Did you also come up with Sharknado in this whiteboarding exercise?
Yep, I’ve done something similar. Flew to a conference for work, then had them fly me to my vacation destination instead of home.

I basically ended up getting a free one-way flight for vacation.

Re:LINQPad – The .NET Programmer's Playground on Sunday June 23, 2024 @09:27PM (#40772030)
Is there anything like this for Java. I really miss LINQPad since I’ve moved to a company that uses Java instead of C#.
Common or not, if the practice is bad why make the law specific to warehouse workers instead of making it a general law that applies to everyone?
I’m unsure about the higher quality part. I’ve seen code written by both AI and some humans — it’s a toss up.

Re:Meta Llama 3 on Thursday April 18, 2024 @10:36PM (#40082935)
It seems pretty clear cut that it’s monthly active users when Llama 3 is released.

If that’s not true then the free license applies to you.

My weird monitor issue (since we’re talking about it, not that anyone asked) is sometimes when I wake my M1 MacBook Pro, my monitor (AW3821DW) has a cyan overlay across the whole screen.

I unplug/plugin the usb-c cable and it fixes it.

I have a usb-c to DP dongle, then connect via DP to the monitor.

Re:The ancient world before computers had stacks or heaps on Thursday April 04, 2024 @10:37PM (#39938154)
I do the same thing in sublime. Doing it still feels like I have super powers even after years of doing it.

I’m sure there’s some magic key combo in emacs and/or vim to do it, too.
