“Overly verbose text and introductions” - starting to suspect that a lot of these articles weren’t written by a human, which makes you wonder if any of the information is accurate.

There’s a linux file called fstab which is often pronounced f-s-tab because it’s a table of file systems. It was somewhat surprising to hear Dave Plummer pronounce it as “f-stab”, as in stabbing someone…

You can also just buy an entire reel of velcro tape and cut pieces as needed.

The name itself can’t really change in OSM because it’s based on what someone “on the ground” would see, i.e. street signs, etc.

Previous OSM naming conflicts have usually been areas of disputed land where some group de-facto controls the land/people and therefore the street signs, and therefore the OSM ‘name’ tag.

“They’ll start scapegoating a demographic, to try and prime the [voter] base to accept their cuts.”

(e.g.) “If they start talking about able-bodied people, it’s Medicaid.”

In r/fedNews, it seems that ill-thought-out email about voluntary redundancies has somewhat galvanised fed employees. Some even linked the famous manual.

So was withholding the ATGMs for Ukraine in 2019

I remember writing one of those using a bitmap font from some Arduino LCD driver program and publishing it for free on the Android store. Someone offered £50 for the source code and I wonder if they’re related.

Game famous for leaking classified information gets extra, extra access to the computers of military people, fml, really?!

Operation paperclip

It will be interesting to see what openstreetmap do - they have an “on the ground principle” that says to look at what the local signs say when naming something, but the data is tagged with a load of references to NOAA pages on historical treaties that the US signed (which obviously used the normal name for that area)
