Probably a repo for the Muslim affinity group within GitHub. You'll also see repos for the blacktocats, octoqueer, octogatos, christian-hubbers. Everything in GitHub has a repo.

additionally with the proposal "put together a list of known corporate MDM server URLs in a public repository" I think the idea could be to only block users with an MDM server from that list. of course that would have to be quite a large list and maintaining it fairly could be a challenge

Also a click handler on a div isn't going to do much for someone who isn't using a mouse, which would include a lot of screen reader users.

Sales and/or property taxes are typically used to make up the difference. TANSTAAFL

There's an IBM Deathstar (sold to Hitachi, sold to WD) model that has its own section, at least:

Not only did the magnetic fuses not work, the impact fuses would collapse and fail if the torpedo made a direct hit. And the torpedoes would consistently run deeper than they were set to. US torpedoes in the early stages of the war were nearly completely ineffective.

I'm not an expert but I have seen Titanic (1997) and I would think a floating bridge is most vulnerable to sinking.

And/or they cashed out $TEXAS in stock and rode off into the sunset.

I'm thinking it must be tornadoes. There were 907 tornadoes across all of 1984.

It was before most of our times, but I don't think the Esso brand was "in the mud" when they rebranded to Exxon and that seems to have worked out ok for them.

Even at submarine depths, the oceans are poorly mapped. In 2005, the USS San Francisco collided with an uncharted (but suspected) seamount at 160m depth.

I also didn't realize that this problem was common, but I switched to using an optical toslink cable to an external DAC which seems to have fixed it for me. Although now the system volume control doesn't work, but I can work around that with the volume control on my amp.

> Twitter/X is still where everything happens

It's not where the W3C happens, clearly. That statement becomes less true by the day as more and more accounts leave.

Not just in absolute terms, what could possibly justify a 600% increase in salary in 7 years?

Typically you're supposed to throw the dice far enough that they bounce off the back wall. Maybe the electronic table doesn't enforce that?

> the united states is primarily run by business interests since the 80s

The 1880s.

Even if arbitration is in play, it would cost Facebook more to hire a lawyer to go to small claims court and have it moved to arbitration than it would to just settle the $300 at stake hear.

It's interesting that this is your perception of "the spirit of the web" whereas other people are going to say that requiring JavaScript at all is "counter to the spirit of the web".

There was a time when if I went to a room in a MUD with a long text description, scrolling that text would cause the MP3 I was listening to to stutter.

Of course that was 25 years ago on a Pentium 133, I understand things are better now.

/*/tree is only for directory listings. File contents will be under a /blob/ path, e.g. https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/main/AUTHORS, and should be, AFAIK, indexable.

I think there's a lot more that goes into where someone chooses to eat than price, otherwise Taco Bell would be putting Chipotle out of business.

As explained above, I don't take it as a given that increased employee wages require increased prices.

I don't think that those are the only two solutions. Off the top of my head you could

1. Reduce expenses in other areas

2. Accept the reduced profit

3. Find that the cost is offset by more productive employees either through morale increase or improved recruiting

There were nuclear reactors run by the military in Antarctica, Greenland, and Alaska in the late 60s and early 70s, but they were all shut down.

When I was DMing a D&D campaign I had an idea for using a receipt printer to print a "token" that would represent items that the players acquired and they could keep it or pass it around or turn it back in after it was used or destroyed.

I cancelled mine in part because of the Joe Rogan kerfuffle but mostly because I made the realization that Spotify is investing more heavily in podcasts than music, but I already have a podcast player that I like and I should subscribe to a music service that cares about the music.

An Airbus A300 was hit with a portable SAM over Baghdad in 2003. The missile struck the wing instead of the engine and caused the loss of all hydraulics. The crew was able to land by steering with the engines. So while this aircraft did survive, it very easily could have gone the other way.

Which is why you only use `npm install` for development, and `npm ci` for production.

There was a mode in ICQ long ago where the person you were messaging could see everything you typed, as you typed it. A friend of mine always wanted to use it and it was mildly terrifying.

There are a limited number of spy satellites, and their orbits are fairly fixed. If you need to look at a site you have to wait until a satellite passes it (and the people at the site will be able to know quite far in advance when a satellite is coming). And there's no way to delay the pass until the cloud cover clears.
