But if time travel is a thing, imagine the whole new time nightmares! Oh you went back a year with your phone? Now all your TLS root certs are invalid because you're before the start date. Or you have files/emails/whatever that are dated in the future. I guess you can get to that state by just setting your clock forward but I imagine some stuff would break.

How is regex git knowledge? I guess you can use regular expressions with git grep but it's certainly not a git-oriented concept...

Boolean is named after George Boole so that is too, sort of

Ehh I wouldn't say variables in programming are all that similar to variables in algebra. In a programming language, variables typically are just a name for some data. Whereas in algebra, they are placeholders for unknown values.

Or here's a crazy idea... Public transportation and pedestrian infrastructure could be vastly improved so that we don't have to depend on cars as much...

My guess is they tried to write "hippa" and it autocorrected, because it's "HIPAA"

It's been a long time since I set it up, but I have Microsoft accounts in my usual TOTP app (Aegis). Maybe I did it manually? But it's definitely possible.

I've never heard of YumoHost, but I don't get why preventing upgrades to an application deemed to have "issues" makes sense. If it has issues, wouldn't you want to upgrade it when the issues are fixed?

What is /dev/pty23? From context, I assume another users terminal so it just spams garbage to their screen?

It should be like music. You can sign up for basically any service (Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, etc) and generally hear any song. It would be ridiculous if each record label or whatever had its own streaming service, so why are TV & movies different?

Where does that link go to?

Another post on here inspired me to ask about this. I recently got my license (General) and am thinking of how to get an antenna setup for HF. The issue is that I live in an apartment on the ground floor. I do have a patio that's about 10'x5' with the "ceiling" (the bottom of the unit above me) at about 7-8 ft.

What I'm tentatively thinking is that I have just about enough room to fit a 10m dipole around the inner edge of the patio roof, although it'd have to bend around the corners. Would that have any shot at working? It would be fairly low. I'm also a little concerned about MPE, since it would be right under my neighbors balcony.

I could also set something up inside but that doesn't seem ideal either.

Any other options I should consider? It would be nice to get on lower bands too but I suspect that won't happen, at least at my apartment.

I hear people say "program in assembler" but IMO that's wrong. I'd say you write the code in "assembly language" (or better yet, the actual architecture you're using like "x86 assembly") but you "assemble" it with an "assembler". Kind of like how you could write a program in the "C language" and "compile" it with a "compiler"
