This feels like the premise of a horror film I'd love to see. The census doesn't play a pivotal role in nearly enough horror films, imo.

Is there a reason those buildings have façades that are a different shape than the building ? There's a house in my town like that, and I've always thought it was the oddest thing, and didn't know what to google to find out.

Yeah, that makes sense. It doesn't explain the house in my town, but I guess that's just bad taste.

Places all over North America used to have more shops and stores mixed in among houses before NIMBYs and zoning drove out the commercial uses of buildings in residential areas. My old neighbourhood has a bunch of houses that used to be stores, especially on the corners.

My old neighbourhood has a bunch of houses that used to be stores, especially on the corners. Absolutely positive.  It's a fairly newly built house in small town Australia, and it definitely looks stylistic. It's not really visible from this angle on street view, but the roof line of the house actually runs perpendicular to the façade. Thank you !

Early 00's : "this Portable Document Format sure is a big improvement over MS word!" 20 years on: "did Adobe just never never made an improvement ever?! This poo poo works better as HTML, God help me." "Oh and Microsoft still sucks as much as ever."

Tei posted:https://futurism.com/the-byte/bezos-nasa-lawsuit-crashing-computer The issue isn't that the files are 50mb and crashing Adobe, it's that they're trying to merge hundreds of docs at once totaling several gigs. They want 50mb files, they can't get them down that far. Baron von Eevl has a new favorite as of 13:11 on Aug 29, 2021 |

Fifty megabytes is ten million words. Let's grant punctuation and spaces and give ourselves a nice buffer: One million words. They want to submit 140 times that, which is almost 300x LOTR. Postscript is still more compressible, as is HTML, so it sounds like they have two choices: Either drop that Pretty Dumb format, or stop trying to set up some pointless joke where you show the appellate judge the decision is invalid because they had 7GB of your porn collection stashed in the documents.

I've had several instances where I've had to email out packets of documents to people for review only to discover that they're too big to be sent via our email, and I can't split it up because one of the documents in those packets is some 3000 page investigative drug brochure that features heavy use of tables and formatting changes. Frequent formatting changes can really beef up the file size.

Quick reminder that mail attachments bloat up by ~30% due to how mail encoding works, and get duplicated into every recipient's mailbox. Please use a real document sharing solution or I'm configuring our mail server to reject all html mails. When HR complains their colourful mails set in papyrus look plain, I'm blaming you for forcing my hand. Mail server administration is hell
