I worked at a place where the asset management system was called "ASS" and yes, publishing assets was called "pushing to ASS". Unfortunately management eventually made the developer change it.

One of many.

Θώθ, what's this?

I found that retyping from a programming book helped me truly incorporate what I was learning more than simply reading it, in the same way that copying a painting is a deeper study than just scrutinizing one. When you're forced to physically go slow it gives your brain extra cycles to really chew on what it's doing. The translation from physical paper to computer was somehow more helpful too. Whenever I cheated and used the enclosed CD that chapter wasn't as solid in my mind.

Flipping back through a book has never been fully replicated electronically either, I think because you can't associate some info's location with its physical thickness in your fingers. We aren't just visual creatures, our brains constantly weave associations with all kinds of sensory input, and physical objects offer more.

I don't miss the price of those books though. I could never afford all the books I was interested in, and in those days you were lucky if your library had anything computer related at all.

Could do a mini skid steer with a trencher attachment.

You can probably rig up something similar using firefox settings depending on what your needs are for convenience and granularity.

Yeah, you can manually whitelist domains (including expressions). I do this for sites where I don't mind keeping cookies around (like lemmy).

I use Cookie Autodelete. Doesn't matter what I choose, it's getting nuked when I close the tab. Handy to clear out IndexedDB and localStorage too, for sites that only let you read one or two pages before putting up a paywall.

Seems unfinished and lacking specifics. Gotta love the annotations.

"Trump fucking plastered us"

^^^^ SOURCE??!?!?

Just fantastic analysis here. Love the Redditisms and corporate nonsense language. There's some genuine nuggets of truth about how the party needs to actually represent the people and not just the rich that I'm sure they'll pretend they didn't see. This is the most milquetoast analysis of their failures and you can still feel their seething petulance to every page.

Edit: God damn this is just terrible. Why wouldn't you finish this before releasing it? Ken Martin and the DNC thinks the pressure will be off now? They look like total fucking idiots.

At this point to become a Disney "cast member" you probably have to give up tons of biometric data, hand over every piece of sensitive personal information you have, and install one or more sketchy apps on your personal smartphone. If the public wants that data they can just wait for the inevitable data leak from one of the thousands of "partners" who purchase it.

There's no way they want to eliminate bot traffic, it would kill 2/3rds of their traffic instantly. So this just means, "bots that aren't paying us."
