  1. How do we make sure there's actually *just* beta decay going on, though?

    Which is retarded since it conflates git and GitHub.

  6. Re:Two cars gone, just checking the time on Woman Looking At Apple Watch Found Guilty of Distracted Driving (nationalpost.com) · · Score: 2

    Then again, isn't she actually guilty of distracted stopping?

    .

    She was driving and was momentarily stopped, which does not mean she was no longer driving. She was AT THE CONTROLS of the car and the car was operating, therefore she WAS DRIVING.

    Your semantic bullshit [...]

    And yet, stopped cars with a distracted driver aren't nearly as dangerous as moving cars with a distracted driver. Talk about semantic bullshit.

  7. S-so CSS can be used to color elements of a web page? I never knew.

    Since when do you need to hold the "steering wheel" in a plane that's on autopilot?

    As for https, the header also gives you the host name in plain text

    Just a little nitpick while overall I couldn't agree more: HTTP headers are still encrypted when doing HTTPS; the intended host name (has to) leak from the SSL handshake via SNI. "Has to" because of multiple vhosts; the web server (or reverse proxy) has to know what site you want to hit so that it can give you the right certificate for that vhost in the SSL handshake.

    Cows don't mind either.

    Hate to break it to you, but just because there's a picture of a happy cow on your milk bottle doesn't mean the cows don't mind it. Milk production is a nasty thing

  13. You're not, my eye twitched when I read that.

    I am/was aware that GNUs ifconfig is crappy and broken (showing for example in the need for an extra tool like iwconfig to manage another kind of network interfaces, lol), but I never knew it got its information from /proc. If that's the case, then it was already Linux-specific in the first place.

    Don't get me wrong, I too have to fiddle with a windows machine every now and then. I still don't see a need to carry around a usb drive with tools, I only need one tool anyway (an ssh client) and I told our actual windows guy to roll out putty by default to the clients, problem solved

    I have to intervene at this point, what you call "free beer" should in fact be called "gratis beer".
