  This is why I prefer “smart” controls for dumb things. If the control gets bricked I can replace it or the thing will still work without it.

  I mean there are a lot less questions if you know the state.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Post upvotes are like github stars⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  100% agree.

  I configure my editor to use 3 space characters per tab. I’ve worked with people who prefer tabs represented as 2 or 8 or just about any number. But I can look at the same code as them worth my preferred look.

  Also works best for line length restrictions. A tab is a single character and always is.

  For anyone like this to be a good thing there needs to be a system of checks and balances. There should be an appeal process that is low effort and low or zero cost. There should also be a verification process by a third party before anything can be added.

  I don’t remember much about my OS courses from 20 years back, but I do recall something about walls between user space and kernel space. The fact that an update from the Internet could enter kernel space is insane to me.

  This was my first thought. I could see this being a medical procedure in place of a vasectomy. Get switch (or something less likely to get bumped) installed and set to off. Then when you want to have kids, another procedure to turn the switch on.

  People keep looking for a quick fix for male sperm control, I didn’t think it is possible. At least not as a off and on solution that keeps coming up.

  Sadly I can say this is not the first time I’ve seen the bang local milfs decal, and that does not appear to be a Florida plate.

  caused “substantial harm to television program copyright owners,_

  Maybe? People willing to copy and distribute this content will always be around and you will never catch them all. People willing to pay a discount or seek not and find said content will always be around. And there will be those who will watch a show or a movie because it is freely available, who would never pay a dime for it.

  They will never end piracy and I’d argue it might actually be bad for business if they did.

  I hear Nike calls this their emperor line. They told the athletes it’s ultra lightweight performance wear. It doesn’t actually exist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Another “patent troll” defeated by Cloudflare and its army of bounty seekers⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t punish the taxpayer, punish the troll.

  Requiring a government agency to pay a penalty will only ensure the agency will work with less efficiency. In turn, ineffective agencies are further criticized and will become a target for privatization, which only ever serves special interests and those with means.

  Put an end to this one and for all. Pass a law that requires any entity which files suit on the basis of being a parent holder must show that they use the patent to earn income from sales that are proven to be independent from them and their officers. If the suit is only being filed for easy money, they should be fined heavily.

  I always thought Google Glass looked pretty sleek. Much better than having a full VR set on your face. You had a full field of vision, just a small HUD.
