What national ID?
The US doesn't have a national ID card. I have a federally-issued ID card as a lawful permanent resident, but the typical US citizen has what? Their main proof of citizenship is their birth certificate, issued by their state, and doesn't have a photo (and if it did, would probably be a baby photo). The people with passports tend to have enough money to travel internationally, which is a pretty small proportion of the population (as it's a big country, so even a lot of people who can afford vacations will vacation in the next state over at most).
As a maintainer on an open source project, I assume the sticks are PRs coming in right before code freeze, right? Right?!
What I've read in recent weeks is that people have been donating to the "Biden-Harris campaign", so Harris has access to all that money by default.
While I would love a stronger candidate (Whitmer, perhaps), I understand that Harris is a lot less complicated. My understanding is that she can just take the money and run (for the presidency).
Edit: Personally, I think (and thought back in 2019/2020) that Biden should have pulled the same move as James K Polk, and declared upfront that he would be a one term president. Then we could have had a competitive Democratic primary, which would have stood out against the Republican coronation.
There was a single season sitcom in 1990 called Ferris Bueller. His sister was played by an unknown actress by the name of Jennifer Aniston.
It's a wonderful comparison going back at least thirty years: https://www.gocomics.com/doonesbury/1994/07/15
Inferring doesn't mean the same thing as implying. They're kind of complementary, like borrowing versus lending.
The OP may have been implying something, but it looks like you're inferring something (which may or may not what they're implying; I don't care enough to parse that out).
The quick adjustments to tileable blueprints sound amazing. Such a great idea!
Somehow I thought the pipette on water to get an offshore pump (like how you can pipette on an ore field for a miner) was already a thing. That and the quick access to landfill will save so much time when designing nuclear plants.
The spidertron stuff sounds nice too, but they're usually so late game that I haven't minded the slightly clunky v1.1 status quo.
The ASF has renamed their conferences from ApacheCon to Community over Code, so foundation leadership seems receptive to moving away from the Apache name.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the name is changed in the next couple of years.
The name was originally just a silly joke, since it was "a patchy web server" (as it was an open source web server abandoned by the original author, but kept going by a community sharing patches to fix bugs and add features).
Honestly, I'd love to see a real, factual documentary about the Onion/Avclub over the years.
From what I've seen, there's some fascinating stuff there, from the college town founding through the internet highs and the acquisition by Gawker (after the Hulk Hogan lawsuit), with some employee unionization along the way. Maybe they could even interview the clearly unqualified forum dev who jumped on a live chat to talk about how the Gawker system that replaced Discus was a clear improvement.
I used to be a big Avclub fan until about 2018 or 2019. Then it became way too ad-ridden and clickbaity. The Onon was equally ad-ridden, but felt like it kinda retained its soul.
To be fair, Avril Lavigne signed away the movie rights to Sk8ter Boi to Paramount in 2003, and we still don't have that movie.
Selling IP rights into another medium is not the same as a guarantee that it will be developed (though it is a first step).
If you get married or start dating in the new country, it's worth being aware of how much more culture shock your partner is likely to experience when visiting your country of origin.
I kind of made this mistake after leaving my home country for many years, getting married, and moving home(-ish) with my spouse. I needed time to readjust to the surroundings, but it was mostly digging up old memories. (Also, it wasn't exactly where I came from, so some things were different.) I mistakenly fooled myself into assuming that things that I remembered would be natural for my spouse, which was obviously stupid.
I was dumb. Don't be dumb.
Trump's second impeachment came after he lost his second election.
