  • Which also is what led to it being found, since db0, being a good dev, saw his whole instance was "incompatible" and dug into it to resolve it and figured out what was really going on.

  • I'd say ugliest of all time went to another car that was featured on Breaking Bad: the PT Cruiser, appropriately used as a car gift that causes insult rather than happiness.

    Though I'd bet the actual backstory to WW's Aztek is Pontiac paid them a bunch of money to use it in the hopes that it would boost sales if the show became popular.

  • Could anodize them or use a dye instead of a paint to get the same effect without any of it flaking off into the lock (or your pocket).

  • FYI, don't post a picture of your keys because that's enough information to make a copy of the key, should someone decide they want to.

    Also, if someone is prepared, just briefly handling your keys can be enough time to make an impression that could also be used to make a copy.

  • Or those common dumb ones could be attempted by someone just trying to snoop on your phone.

  • Guessing he's more concerned about his foot than the prop, which is what axe kicks and stomps are good for: delivering force without risking injury to the more delicate parts of your foot.

  • Yeah, though at least pressure doesn't really factor in, which I think is where most cases of steam breaching a water seal comes in to play. But if gases can be exchanged, steam is way higher humidity than air normally and can condense inside.

    My guess would be the odds of a soap or steam breach on a water resistant phone is very low, but if you bring your phone in for every shower, you might be tempting those odds.

  • Shit like that used to bug me but eventually I realized it was a waste of time getting set off by incorrect word use or spelling. As long as the message isn't ambiguous, who cares? And even when it's on the border, it's often clear enough from the context what they really mean (though can be fun to deliberately misinterpret it).

  • Or just get a water resistant phone. Though I would suggest caution when it's soapy water because that affects the surface tension of the water, which could mean some can slip past the seals that normally keep water out.

    Though I have a water resistant phone but have never brought it into the shower with me. It was more of a case of not wanting to be worried about my phone in any kind of a situation involving water. Like going in to one of those 3D movie attractions with moving seats that sprayed water, I was concerned about whether I should be concerned about my phone getting wet. Turned out to be just tiny amounts of water and nothing to be concerned about even if I had my phone out, but after that I wanted to remove that worry from the list entirely.

  • The lack of self-awareness here is hilarious. Just jumping in completely unprompted to say how nice it is when people don't hate like in that other community that you hate so much.

  • I'm not sure Cell could take them. All three of them had a reputation of being significantly stronger than already established very powerful entities in their respective stories.

  • Their income is based on trust: that their target trusts them to keep their end of the bargain when paid. Without that trust, there's no reason to pay them or engage at all other than to try to trap them.

  • Yeah, as the other commenter mentioned, git is a distributed source control system, so all clones have the full history (though you can bump up the "starting point" to reduce the overhead of storing all previous commits).

    Hosts like github can add more features on top of that, which would have to be backed up separately, but you can automate the repository itself using a single command, which is the same command used to make a clone in the first place.

  • What would that be surrendering to, exactly?

  • Not sure which way that one goes but in my mind it's a coin toss between "Chinese Exclusion" meaning to exclude Chinese from a general immigration ban (so they can provide cheap labour to railway makers) or to exclude Chinese from immigration (because racism).

  • IMO everyone should have a local backup of everything they can get related to the repo. Like I know with git itself, anytime you clone the repo you get everything, but also the supporting stuff that is in the layer outside of git. IMO the host should mainly be the hub where everyone gets and interacts with the project, while everything else is already good to go in a new location, should the host either screw up in good faith, get corrupted by outside influences, or gets overrun by local or remote powers.

    This makes me a bit curious about whether the overall risk to projects is higher from individual local device failure or politics around who controls remote hosting services and the nature of the project.

  • The cloud is already a thing.

  • I'd extend the advice to be more general and say if you are doing anything more sensitive or important than basically a casual chat about something interesting, you shouldn't be using remote models because they are likely logging everything.

  • It is and it isn't. The hand you get dealt is random (assuming no funny business) but the people who do consistently well are playing their opponents more than their cards.
