Sure. Tax it like any other property.

Probably just Mandela effect. I also remember this message that apparently doesn't exist. I was also a big player of Ultima VII so maybe my mental wires are crossed as the article suggests.

My oldish LG TV had an HBO Max app but it wasn't available in my area due to exclusivity agreements. In order to grab it, I had to change the region of my TV before going to the app store. This workaround is not required for the new app, I can just straight-up grab it. I wonder if rebranding with a new app allowed HBO to worm out of agreements like this?

Yup. I emailed myself the string "-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1" a couple decades ago just to make sure I didn't lose it. Not sure what I'll do when I finally get a HiDPI display. I think it's part of the reason I haven't made the jump yet.

> Use impl types as arguments rather than generic constraints when you can

Eep. No. At least, not in anything public. Universal impl trait arguments can't be turbofished, so you're placing an unnecessary constraint on your caller.

When I got married and changed my name, I ended up having to spend a couple hours a day arguing at the passport office for three consecutive days. There are all kinds of arcane rules about it and the staff are not allowed to tell you what they are because they have been literally classified as state secrets since early in the Obama era. Plus, in my case they wouldn't even have a re-look at the rulebook to make sure they were getting it right, they were just going by memory.

Eventually I was able to track down the underlying laws that the relevant rules were based on and call the head office in Charleston who put things right, but who knows what would've happened had I not been a native English speaker.

Some of this may have changed, it looks like "8 FAM 403.1-4(D)" would've been the rule that I needed back when I did this, and it does not appear to be currently classified, but lots of other rules still are. Point is, it may not be as simple as you'd think to "just" get a new passport.

You have hindsight.

In the early days, the internet was seen as a massively playfield-leveling and decentralizing force ("the net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it"), not a massively centralizing one (Facebook is the world's only newspaper).

In a model where everything is decentralized and leveled , no player is big enough to worry about.

Isn't that what `#[non_exhaustive]` is for?

Probably Kathi Goertzen?

Depends on what you mean by "support". The OnHub never ended up using its smart home radios or built-in speaker for anything. I also ended up needing to buy multiple other boxes to work around Google WiFi's crashy PPPoE implementation and lack of VLAN tagging.

And then there was that day Google accidently deleted everyone's router configuration.

It worked great as a dumb access point. Everything else was shambles.

I just went through Blender Guru's donut tutorial and it is excellent as it covers a whole progression from learning the basic UI to modeling, sculpting, texturing, shading and even a touch of animation.

For a change of pace, look at Ian Hubert's "lazy tutorials". Each one is only one minute long but simultaneously shows something amazing while making it seem like anybody could just pick up the tool and do it.

No it isn't. The hope is that at some point a vaccine or lighter treatment becomes available. If that occurs before the end of the flat curve, that's a major change in outcome.

I love Rust, but it doesn't have a strong UI development story yet.

> Sadly, I just learned a new term: "emotional labor."

It's also an (increasingly common) misuse of the term as originally coined.

Originally it referred to things like cashiers needing to remain calm and cheery even in the face of unreasonable and hostile customers. The claim is that this kind of labor goes beyond the job description and should therefore be compensated.

I think there are a few places were Rust didn't get it quite right, but this seems like a weird example. The 32 length limit is a temporary limitation, not a corner that Rust is painted into. Indeed, my understanding is that the limitation at this point is being maintained artificially due to an overabundance of caution (via https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/array/trait.LengthAtMost32.htm... ). That's not WTF, that's just TODO.

Don't bother with Lightroom. It's also been shackled to the cloud at this point. I think if you dig enough you can still find a perpetual license version, but it's years old at this point and doesn't work with newer cameras.

Ha. Around this same time my friends and I set up a vaguely similar system across campus in Haggett Hall. There was a :CueCat at the bottom of the door outside and you'd scan your student ID to trigger a solenoid to spin the doorknob on the inside.

I think you're almost certainly correct. The "giveaway" to someone from a Mormon background was the inclusion of "Monson led the committees that codified the doctrines taught in every Mormon meetinghouse across the Earth." in the article. This sentence probably sounds completely banal and uninteresting to outsiders, but the "correlation" process, as it is called, it largely hated by both the most fundamental believers AND the most rabid apostates. The believers hate it because it's watered down all the crazy (and frankly much more interesting) parts of Mormon doctrine, Ex-mormons hate it because it whitewashes away many uncomfortable historical truths. The institution is invested in it, however, as a way to try to stamp out the legacy of polygamy.

Like you say, the point of this article is that there's a lot of "there" there, but it takes more digging to find that NYT was willing to invest.

That theory is hard to square with the dramatic rise over the past 10-20 years. I remember when folks were alarmed at Nickelsville popping up. Now that's way under the noise floor.
