Someone said inns and taverns,

They're just called pubs nowadays and many of them are still in business, with drink, food and music downstairs, and rooms for sleeping upstairs.

The one in my neighbourhood is newly reopened and serves fancy craft beer these days, but the basics are actually pretty much unchanged since a tavern first opened in that house sometime in the 1640s.

I like this.

The developer said he forgot that his secret keys were in the repository.

If you have your secret keys in your repository you've already fucked up, long before you accidentally make that repository public.

Some even allow notifications and messages to disrupt their sleep.

WTF is wrong with people!?

Sorry for the Danish post […]

Never apologize for your own language.

I don't believe that this app was created by Andrew Tate.

The amount of heat reflected/absorbed between the two sides is trivially small.

Your particular choice of wording here makes me very curious: Do you mean that there really was a measurable difference (which was trivially small)?

A computer — no other item I own has changed the course of my life as much as owning my own computer has.

Now this is a feature that I have wanted to have since the very beginning!

I would like to suggest that anyone who in the year 2024 insists on you communicating with them by fax can't be trusted and your best solution is therefore to stay away.

Hands down the clang C++ compiler, no commercial C++ compiler I've ever seen or even heard of even comes close enough that a comparison could be meaningful.

When you're not telling us which package you're trying to install in which packaging system, the only meaningful answer is: you're trying to install the wrong package.

Erdoğan unbanned the letters Q, W and X, which can be used for Kurdish texts, in his 2013 reforms, so I think it'd be a bit too soon to re-ban them now already, so that's probably not next.

“These features and experiences need to be trained on information that reflects the diverse cultures and languages of the European communities who will use them.”

No, they do not, these features and experiences don't need to exist at all.

Starting from how would the floating sauna propel itself,

Nowadays that's normally done with a motor.

and where would I get one?

Yup, the lab could tell a difference!

Awesome!

Really, an Arch user who didn't mention that they're using Arch, there's certainly a meme hiding here somewhere!

It would be awesome to get woolly mammoths back in the Alps.

I feel like I'm out of the loop here, why would anyone not "still use RSS", what would the new better replacement be?

FWIW, this is not normal or expected, most users get their notifications more or less instantaneously. Maybe knowing this might help you search for information about whatever it may be that prevents this from working for you.

Sync, it has a very nice user interface, I've been using it for years (previously for Reddit).

If you don't actually have an opinion, just go with the default, ext4 really is a very good file system, but if you want to have an opinion and not go with the default, zfs is truly a fantastic file system.

My one wonder is, what would banks use to securely provide access to their customers online?

Considering that it would be illegal for banks to securely provide access to their customers online the answer is simple: they wouldn't.

I don't think it's ever happened to me that anyone told me that it was inconvenient for them that I didn't have iMessage, compared to pretty much weekly exclamations of "But why can't you just use WhatsApp like everyone else!?"

As already mentioned several times, selfhosting a mail server is not recommended unless you're particularly interested in hosting a mail server, but with that said, you might find this project interesting:

In general, no. Most malware that runs its own process simply uses some name intended to make you not notice it. But it is possible, in Linux just as in every other operating system that ever existed, to imagine that some unusually sophisticated malware manages to exploit some unknown vulnerability to gain full control of the kernel and then all bets are off, then it would be able to do anything.

My method is very simple, just looking for people who sit and read in trains, cafés, etc., most people who do that tend to be people who like to read books.

One possible starting point could be the now classic essay The Cathedral and the Bazaar:

While I don't know what exactly you mean by sysadmin, it sounds to me as if you'd be better at setting up (and maintaining) CI/CD than most normal developers and that's something that'd be very valuable to lots of projects out there.

Why should this be at the editor level?

Because for every programming language there'll be people using text editors, but you'll never succeed in even creating code formatters for them all.

The greatness in this project is in aiming low and making things better through simple achievable goals.

Would it be possible to work around this by using virtual desktops? 🤔

I hardly ever run into people my age who even play games. :/

This comment makes me incredibly curious about what age you are.

Exactly. Especially this complaint about stop signs. That's not something that a normal motorist would encounter during a normal day of driving. If you ever happen to encounter a stop sign, as rare as they are, and feel that you then can't spend a minute to make a proper stop there then the real problem certainly must be in your mind.
