You can block *.google.com as easily as *.google, so I don't think that makes much sense.

The two most populous countries are moving in the right direction, which is good news. I really wish you guys wouldn't insist on bringing your country into every single conversation - we know what's happening, you don't need to constantly remind us.

Same, and they can be some truly baffling typos.

It reminds me of the Wipeout aesthetic:

Looking great so far, good luck with the difficult actually finishing it phase.

Stop Forwarding Errors, Start Designing Them was a great read, and I'll definitely be trying Exn.

What's the point then?

I only wrote code for !advent_of_code@programming.dev which is so different to my usual tasks that it feels like a break.

I don't understand why venison isn't on the menu more often in the UK. When I do see it, it's often on the special board, or in less mainstream restaurants. It's tasty, healthy and sustainable so what's that problem?

It would be the best merch anyone ever offered.

I just looked and found this, is it you or a freeloader? https://www.redbubble.com/shop/unix_surrealism

I'm thinking of it the same way, and not having the readers be trade secrets but published specs is good for future digital archeologists.

For example, Dyson uses trade secrets instead of patents, so it would be harder to recreate their tech in the future.

Edit: patents not parents 🤦

"We are a technology licensing company"

This is good news from the point of view of being able to create devices that can read these crystals; as a comment on the linked site says:

The realistic lifetime of storage is the life of the last manufactured or surviving retrieval device.

What to do with people who jump the queue?

Are words in a poem lyrics?

Sounds like perhaps unified codes would be the answer to that problem!

Interesting stuff, thanks for writing it up.

I did know that US codes weren't standardised, partially because the video covers it - perhaps I should have phrased it as "a police code" to be more technically correct. Edit: or bothered to check the video so could have written "Philadelphia police code" - but then I would have missed out on your reply.

If you read the article, you learn that the authorities never properly searched any of these freighters - that's probably a more sensible place to start.

Ask vague questions, get oddly specific answers, I guess.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laZpTO7IFtA is worth the 15 minutes, but the TL;DW is that the kids are just using it as an in-joke marker (i.e. the phrase is a shibboleth), but its origin is in lyrics* by the rapper Skrilla referring to police codes for a dead body.

are rapped words lyrics?

Still being tested in nightly atm

Firefox does seem to be clearing out their old bugs (another example is MKV support) but perhaps it's buses arriving together and not due to some policy.
