To get a business license, a licensing employee told her she had to hire a certain number of off-duty Minneapolis police officers to provide security.

Why?

“Because they’re racist and we’re Mexican,” Santamaria said. “They didn’t want to let Mexicans have nightclubs.”

That’s good to know. Thanks!

What’s happening with hardware replacements? I’d be shocked if batteries lasted seven years.

I saw something about partnering with iFixit. Is there gonna be a program where we can get a certified battery installed in four years time?

We’re replacing protocols with Rust now?

I dig the role based games where deployables and vehicles are a thing. I’m sure there are still some around, but I can’t think of any.

Not for me. Last.fm knew my tastes perfectly. Spotify just craps the same dozen artists at me.

This is what I enjoyed about the first Tribes game. I remember wandering around my base, repairing the generators, placing turrets, fixing sensors, and murdering attackers. The rest of the team would be off grabbing the other teams flag or messing up their base.

IMO the sequels didn’t get the balance between base maintenance and flag running quite right.

LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It cost an average of $2,058 to rent a one-bedroom apartment in Ottawa in August 2023, according to listings on rentals.ca, which is up from $1,820 in August 2022 and $1,628 in August 2020.

I wonder what would be affordable for these folks? I used to live next to a rooming house that rented rooms for a couple hundred bucks a month. Is that enough?

Tbh, free would be fine too.

Like, it’s gonna fall apart by itself, you don’t need to try.

Stroking intensifies

I’m not sure how I feel about this. On one hand, access to transit is great. On the other hand, I feel like the greenhouse gas reductions would be minimal.

Airbnb prices are approaching that of hotel rooms. You typically get a kitchen at an Airbnb, but the price argument doesn’t seem accurate from the listings I’ve looked at.

This is it.

WebAssembly AFAICT is all about making existing code runnable in a JavaScript environment. JavaScript isn’t great itself, but Chrome provides pretty amazing tooling, so it’s good enough.

Add to that: if you want to write WASM in a strongly typed language, you need support libraries that define all of the browser primitives. If you’re an accomplished web developer, it’s more effective to stay in js.

yeah, no.

Sound the fucking alarms. Scream from the rooftops. It’s going to keep getting worse until we stop it.
