Its marketplace has been really popular in my area. Craigslist has all but dried up for may item types.

But they own Instagram as well don’t forget, and they have bought out many other competitors that we won’t ever get to experience.

Yeah, lack of competition is driving a lot of this. Fixing bugs doesn’t increase their stock value. It doesn’t make the line go up.

Launching products and bragging about profits makes the line go up (especially just before a quarter or monthly report is due).

AT&T/Bell Telephone was like this for years until they were finally broken up (nominally). When cellphones came out and provided nationwide competition, long distance suddenly became free.

We need to bust up google, Facebook, etc. They have nothing to push them to be better, just CEO egos and investors to please.

I discovered a legit bug in the handling of switch statements I a for loop in Actionscript 2 way back when Flash was still a thing.

Until I finally killed my blog about it last year, it was the only result other than my post on the adobe site around the same time. I don’t think it ever got fixed, but didn’t keep following after the iPhone finished off flash.

Yeah plenty of well off liberal New Englanders have them around here. There are big Facebook groups about them and all kinds of online hype/bullshit (like everything at this point) about longevity, allergies, intelligence, etc.

They don’t shed as much, but the less they shed the more they need grooming, or they end up with mats and tangled.

It’s broader than one farm, my mom is obsessed with doodles too. But prior to that had a purebred Bernese mountain dog. They’re great dogs, but have largely been bred into tragically short lifespans. Her’s died at 4 or 5 years old and averages at the time were like 6-8 years. So there’s the thought/hope that mixing with a broader gene pool available in the poodles will help them live longer.

They are also supposed to shed less is a reason I’ve been given a lot, but they need grooming all the time so I think it’s bullshit. They are cute, but it’s mostly a bunch of online groups that are driving the trend.

You mathnificent bastard.

Depends on if they digitized the YouTube vids from the original Betacam broadcast tapes.

I’m guessing a bit here, but it was a really dominant format at the time, and in the later years of the series, would have been a digital format at 720x486 resolution.

You haven’t seen Crimepaysbutbotanydoesnt on YouTube then…

You’d read it with a thick Chicago accent, like Elwood Blues mixed with Dick Butkus otherwise.

Agreed.

Images of smoking Eastern European jalopy intensifies.

Yeah hippo mixed with pitbull maybe?

I think the wackos who want to own dangerous dogs try and whitewash them by calling them velvet hippos, but I might have the name wrong.

They got the idea right, but it was a shrieking Orange ball of rage.

Too much like a Harry Potter spell tho

I wonder how much more money they make from banner ads than pen sales?

Also:

We Specialize In Wood

Nebula/curiosity stream maybe? Patreon is interesting for this too, and is helping a lot of podcasters and video creators (more) directly.

That’s when Unix (Mach kernel and FreeBSD) based OSX launched. It included command line and OOP development tools that really were a huge improvement over the previous OS 7-9.

I bought my first Mac a few years later 2003 because I needed a reliable laptop, there was no competition (anyone remember the Sony Viao?) in good laptops, unless you liked thinkpads with one nipple. Plus as a design student, I needed macromedia and Adobe products, and worked in my college’s computer lab managing Mac’s anyway.

Wow, so there are color, location and timing options that can be coded into these.

Sounds like something the VLC maintainers should add support for.

I wonder if the sudden change in direction would be the bigger problem, as we no longer had the sun to orbit around.

This is a good question for Randall Monroe, if he hasn’t already addressed it.

Yeah I’m mostly just shitting on it for fun too. But the pistons don’t work very long without steel rings, wrist pins and big end bolts.

The problem is we have to bring copper, brass and other fancy metals in them though, because the all spin on oil cushion bearings. Unless we’re talking Babbitt bushings from the early 1900s.

You must have been lying close attention to see how they were triggered though.

Bug reports can be tough if you can’t repeat them. I’m glad you got some bonding time with littlie though, especially if you were on the clock.
