Something else we can blame Italian politicians for! 
As usual, what they're trying to do is right (for people, not corporations), but sorting out the minutiae is a bigger task than deciding what to do.

The impact occurred just moments after totality began — the moment when the last bit of Moon slipped into the deeper part of Earth's shadow. Are we sure it wasn't Moonbase Alpha blowing up?

I thought this article would be interesting until I found out that asteroid isn't just a more vulgar term for hemorrhoid.

I told the NSA that all it would take is one little lag in the temperature regulation of their top secret server farm, and the whole thing would go kablooey, but they didn't listen!
And it turns out that an eclipse is one massive temperature-change too many.
I love to say "I told you so!"; I find it so satisfying.

More accurately, "Direct3d 12 support".

So they've been working on wine since 1994. Here we are, almost 25 years later, and they STILL struggle to get anything meaningful to run on it. By "meaningful", I'm not talking about games. Even before they (Microslop) switched the interface to WPF, Visual Studio wasn't running successfully on Wine. Today, more than 10 years after WPF hit the streets, you still can't run a WPF app in Wine (that I'm aware of).
Sorry, but I'm tired of waiting...

Mmm. Except they aren't given a serial #, they're counted. Therefore 'zero-index' as a concept here is broken.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Like birthdays, you mean.
OK, so you can tell your girlfriend/wife that she's a year older than she says, but I'm sticking to the convention.

I do.
We've actually laughed about that. She's not so insecure as to dispute the truth...
My cards always wish her well for turning X years old, not for having her Nth birthday.
Unconventional? Sure. That's about how strange most people seem to us, too.

Ha!
(TMI? follows)
The first time I encountered the trope that emerged from that poem was in Penthouse or Playboy or similar as a cartoon and a teenager. In retrospect, it was probably a reasonably accurate portrayal of the poem's subject.
Unfortunately however, Gunga Din's water vessel was a large gourd, which, owing to the angle appeared to be a rather substantial piece of male machinery. Hence Gunga appears to have the old fella out filling someone's cup/bowl. "You're a better man than I, Gunga Din" 
Perhaps today'll be the first time I read it from start to finish. Cheers!

I want to work for these people. Seriously.
Doing something to prevent scum abusing users of the internet is an extremely worthy task, so kudos to all who do so.

Malware distributors say thankyou for providing a list of hosting providers who're slow enough in responding to abuse complaints that keeping their networks running will be trivial. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Lost count of the number of times I read sunshine in the comments section. Admittedly, it was part of every comment's title, but still.. Rather refreshing to see what appears to an unmoderated comments section on a non-invisible website. That was fun, thanks.

This will make a huge difference to my lifestyle.
(And, with luck, it will make a large difference to people's choice of web browser; I'm sick of sites that are designed only to work for google on google's browser)

A new working paper from the Bank of International Settlements (BIS), the so-called central bank for central banks, concludes that Bitcoin is limited as a payment method because of the method, called proof of work, that it uses to secure its distributed ledger. I guess it's time to tie bitcoin to the gold standard?
