"User reports indicate problems at Amazon Web Services" User reported outage sounds like people confusing the Heroku outage with AWS.

I've been using a Vim clone of Magit for a while with good success: https://github.com/jreybert/vimagit

Not being an eMacs user, I'm not familiar with the feature differences, but the workflow of stage/commit is worth it alone.

I have vivid memories of the demos at Incredible Universe, including an early-stage VR setup. It's also the place I was able to try out crappy consoles like the Atari Jaguar and the 3DO Interactive.

I also remember demoing the 3DO at Incredible Universe. What an incredible store design they had. I believe I also bought my copy of OS/2 there.

As recently as last week it seems, TriMet's board has been discussing how free fares might work: https://www.oregonlive.com/commuting/2019/12/is-trimet-discu...

It’s the quick keynote. Starts around 6:30. AWS spend down 15% even though traffic is 21x what it was a year ago.

Happy Metropolitan user here too. I bought a couple other inexpensive fountain pens to try them out (Lamy Safari, Pilot Prera Iro-Ai), but I came back to the Metropolitan. The weight and writing-smoothness are outstanding considering how cheap it is.

I use uBlock Origin in advanced mode, which lets you do something similar.

Haven't used it extensively, but blocking the following domains sped things up a little:

- hangouts.google.com - plus.google.com - play.google.com

Yes. He can put actions behind his words, or his reply is just hot air.

Plus, by endorsing it as a Google-sanctioned event, he's effectively taking power away from those walking out from disrupting normal business as usual (e.g., allowing managers to reschedule meetings).
