#SysAdminDay is coming! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgeaya7Yg4A !SysAdmin
-
!TIL that "M-x butterfly" is _actually a thing_ in #Emacs, since version 23.1 or thereabout.
-
!Debian "took an estimated 26,481 years of effort... starting with starting with its first commit in June, 1993": https://www.ohloh.net/p/debian
-
#Confused: we have those countdown-clocks here, but they count down to the lights turning *green*, not red....
-
Crosswalk countown #safety #feature for pedestrians backfires, causes increased crashes? http://status.hackerposse.com/url/6022
-
Except... the "rm -rf" misses the dotfiles. OK, what expression matches all dotfiles except "." and ".."?
-
Ahah: "git checkout --orphan && rm -rf *" #git
-
How does one start a new, empty branch in an existing #git repository?
-
Just like Judge Doom in 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit'! I did not know that.
-
A case of real-world tin-foil-hattery: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_American_streetcar_scandal
-
#BBC: Do doctors understand test results, and how they're impacted by #statistics? http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-28166019 !math !science #medicine
-
Isn't an `n-part cons cell'... an array?
-
CRISP "generalised #Lisp's two-part cons nodes to n-part nodes"? http://foldoc.org/CRISP
-
CRISP "generalised !Lisp's two-part cons nodes to n-part nodes"? http://foldoc.org/CRISP
-
I don't know the other carriers are like, but T-Mobile doesn't charge me per-minute anymore....
-
The worst part is that the cell phone providers deliberately make the voice mail prompts long and complex to increase your airtime charges. This was a big thing in the news some 4-5 years ago, but there is almost no mention of it in Teh Internets today. #DDG finally gave me this link: http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/AheadoftheCurve/story?id=8236707

"SeatSale: License to Sit", #SteveMann, 2001: http://wearcam.org/seatsale/
-
OK..., so this "Pay & Sit" bench is from 2008, and I don't recognise the artist's name (Fabian Brunsing), so it's probably not what I'm remembering...:http://www.fabianbrunsing.de/
-
All of the "21st century" remarks are particularly confusing: my memory has this thing filed under "late 1990s, possibly 2000".
-
I'm pretty sure the pay-to-sit park bench is an art installation intended as satirical commentary on economics and design. I'm also pretty sure I first saw it over a decade ago. So I'm surprised both at the recency and the outrage of all of the references I'm finding on the WWW right now....
