Another relevant podcast: in this episode of Adam Ruins Everything, Adam talks to Laura McAndrews, Professor of Textiles, Merchandising and Interiors at UGA and former PM at Gap and Urban Outfitters about "fast fashion" and what it takes to get your $6 t-shirts made

Basically what Netflix's Chaos Monkey is: https://github.com/netflix/chaosmonkey

Here's a cool one: Much early (1985) development of Mac software was done on the Mac XL, which had a 10 MB HDD and 1 MB of RAM, vs the original Mac which famously had 128k RAM and no HDD. But, the Mac XL was really just a Lisa 2 running a Mac emulator!

Not really "make your own mashups," more like "explore this extensive list of pre-made mashups," but very cool nonetheless

Carbon monoxide is "CO". CO2 is carbon _di_oxide.

Just letting you know, this bug is fixed in STP Release 22

Yep, it's this one: https://openradar.appspot.com/30056643

Thanks!

EDIT: Also just found this Firefox bug report for the same thing: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1328218 Discussion there seems like it's really more of a JIRA bug than an FF bug ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You might want to consider the Safari Technology Preview. Updates every 2 weeks! https://webkit.org/downloads/

(Although, it has had some pretty major bugs. There was about a month where commenting on Github was broken, and currently JIRA doesn't even render.)

> high-end carmakers invest R&D

A lot of high-end carmakers these days are owned by big car-manufacturer conglomerates. For example, Volkswagen owns Lamborghini, Bugatti, Bentley, Audi, and Porsche; Chrysler owns Maserati and owned Ferrari until a couple years ago; Ford owned Jaguar and Aston Martin in the 90s and 00s. So the trickle-down is really very direct: From the luxury makes of a conglomerate into the consumer makes.

Homebrew tries to download a binary for pretty much every package, and only rarely compiles from source.

If you really want to finger pick with your nails, you can try some clear nail polish to add a little strength. If that isn't enough, you can go for the old classical guitarist trick of layering superglue and silk to add some nail strength.

True, but finger picking doesn't really hurt your fingers (or at least it never has for me, a guitar player of 14 years now). It's definitely pressing on the strings with your left hand that's the pain point for pretty much every budding guitarist I've ever talked to.

I once scheduled an interview with someone on the West coast (I'm on the east coast). I emailed him in the morning "How about 4 o'clock?" That afternoon around 2 I checked my email again and got his response "great, you can call me at 1." I freaked out for a second thinking I had missed the appointment, only to realize he meant 1 pm his time == 4 pm my time.

I'm using the latest Safari Tech Preview, and the example works fine for me. Maybe this is already fixed.

I mean, it's a non-diet soda. What did you expect?

Let's see: 2.36 kg of sugar makes enough syrup for 24L of OpenCola, according to the wiki article. So, 12oz of OpenCola contains 34.9 grams of sugar [1]. 4 grams less than the equivalent amount of Coke [2].

Not to say that this isn't still a lot of sugar, just that it's comparable to the product it's trying to emulate.

Not totally relevant, but Better Call Saul isn't produced by Netflix, it just airs there outside the US.
