Re: Tesla 2021.24 software update brings the long anticipated Car Wash Mode, Disney+, and more

Anyone else in Canada not seeing Disney+ as part of this update? (Which seems odd as Disney+ is available in Canada.)

Sure would be nice if the author tried to follow these instructions verbatim to try to achieve the objective and then adjust accordingly when it's clear there's a lot that is missing or inaccurate. This is at the top of Google searches when looking for handling paths without needing to have "index.html" in the URL.

The first four minutes literally had no information, and it didn't get much better from there. 😑

Hi, Rafal – I would be very interested in a working version for FreeBSD 12. Would you be able to throw it into a gist or something?

Re: Vancouver’s popular Solly’s eatery to close for several weeks due to 'difficulty finding staff'

I used to be an every-day regular at Solly's until Leah started being present more and more. She is phoney at best to customer, and an absolute tyrant to her employees. It's a shame because I always enjoyed their bagels, but I can't knowingly support such a wicked person.

Just curious: how do you deal with Cloudfront cache invalidations when you update content?

This looks like a very exciting and inspiring story: a perfect addition to SXSW. As the father of two daughters, this is the sort of fuel I'd love to feed my girls' creative fires.

I believe it's Bloomberg. I'm seeing this bot as well, and the IP addresses are owned by Bloomberg.

If you prefer a chrome finish, I'm really happy with the Culinary Institute of America's measuring cups and spoons: http://www.amazon.com/CIA-C...

Re: New Dropbox Pro plans!

pgib — Tue, 10 Jul 2012 16:31:00 -0000

Does it? It says existing Pro users get a 100 GB trial plan for three months to share with friends and family.

Update: I was focussing and re-reading the third paragraph, but going back and looking at the second, it has:

"If you’re already a Dropbox Pro subscriber, just take a seat and enjoy the fireworks — your Dropbox will supersize itself automatically tonight."

Re: New Dropbox Pro plans!

pgib — Tue, 10 Jul 2012 16:28:26 -0000

Seems like you only have 200GB for 3 months as a trial?

@intentmedia Sounds like lessc is not in your path. However, if might just be easier to use this, much nicer Mac OS X application to do it for you: http://incident57.com/less/

Yeah, I only use it locally. Staging gets whatever compiles CSS I've checked in.

I take a different approach and instead always compile out to .css files during development. I keep this script running during development which watches for changes in any of my .less files:

I don't see any errors that would explain it. Here's the system log:

I'll create another instance and see if it happens again.

Not sure if it was just me, but I had to reboot the instance after creating and launching before I could connect with SSH...

Do you use RootBSD? They're really awesome.

I have a 2009 13" MBP with the Apple 256GB SSD. As a comparison, from power on to login screen is 9 seconds.

From what I understand, the main reason a lot of big companies still are using IE6 is because they developed proprietary ActiveX do-dads that perhaps don't function in IE7 and above. I would guess that it would be a pretty big challenge to convince these companies who are already misguided that they need to investment a bunch of time and money to upgrade their proprietary systems. Sigh...

Thanks, that did the trick! Look forward the training videos, and also to using this builder and framework for some future projects!

This looks amazingly cool. I installed it and got it running, but y'all really need a tutorial or some documentation. Also, seems really buggy still. Couldn't even update the title on a Button. Couldn't do anything in Safari, and got a bit farther in Chrome, but still couldn't actually do anything. Am I missing something?

Nor do I; but the video definitely gave an impression of excitement that just wasn't there. I think the thing that surprised me the most was the complete silence. I had to check my volume to make sure it wasn't on mute. It makes sense that a book would be quiet, but I think the video could have been edited in a much better and more honest way.

The artwork is wonderful, but the video and music make this app seem a lot more exciting than it actually is... Still a neat concept on the "e-book".
