And not the floating ‘dickbar’ of social media sharing buttons that I have never, since the dawn of Facebook or Twitter, actually used. And no, I don’t want to install your frakking app. I will NEVER install it, so please stop asking me on

They also drop the subscription rate after the first and second years. And even at the outset, the “everything JetBrains” license is cheaper than any two individually licensed products. If you do, say, Java and C# or Python and C++, this

It is irrelevant whether you think it is _reasonable_ for people to associate the word ‘autopilot’ with autonomy. Reasonable or not, people do, and that has safety consequences for everyone who shares the road with them.

It also erodes Google’s claims of fair use. Leveraging the Java language and APIs benefited Google much more than it benefited the Java ecosystem at large. Almost anything that targets Java can now be used on Android, but the reverse is n

Java 8 made some changes to type inference that can, in certain edge cases, cause generic method calls to bind differently. While it’s _mostly_ backwards compatible, it’s not entirely.

This release cycle makes no sense to me. We haven’t even finished migrating all our components to compile with JDK8 yet, though they’ve all been running against it for a while now. We’re barely even discussing moving to JDK9 at this point

Doubtful. Possibly a fix for an as-yet-undisclosed variant of the known attacks. Possibly mere ineptitude.

I read this as suggesting that the engineering field is currently structured in a way that skews towards the preferences and natural strengths of men rather than women. He's not saying that women are less capable engineers in pri

To tap into the craze, I guess? I honestly have no idea. I never in a million years would have thought Bitcoin would actually breach $10,000, so I'm the last person to ask about cryptocurrencies.

This is what I'm afraid of. Just as nearly every mobile game has switched to in-game currencies, other apps will develop their own (crypto)currencies. The benefits to the app owners are numerous, and users always get screwed. 1. The

Note also that the host OS (the one running the hypervisor) was already patched in all cases. These tests only reflect the difference between a patched and unpatched guest OS. The total performance reduction is likely greater.

You're quite right about desirable urban areas. Example: The first apartment I rented in midtown Manhattan was a 1BR condo in a fairly new building. The owner had bought it in 2006 for about $775k. In 2010, I looked it up on Zillow

Flying cars are a terrible idea. People can't be trusted to not drive into things or run out of gas while driving _on land_. I wouldn't want the average person flying their car anywhere near me or my property. The only conceivab

The attorney, Mark Holden, is apparently Chief Legal Officer for Koch Industries, so I'd imagine he's quite well compensated. That doesn't diminish the generosity of the gift, mind you, but it's not as if he was a solo

Their volume is abysmal. Nobody trades there. They know they're missing out, and they know they're running out of time before the Bitcoin craze is all over. They'd like to make some money before that happens.

What evidence do you offer to support the notion that "the vast majority of [criminal insult investigations in Germany] go nowhere"? Going by the most common definition of 'clearance rate', around 208k of those 234k inve

...and your point is? You do not need to convict or even formally charge someone in order to have chilling effect on speech; when the police investigate you for a crime, and the mere possibility of being charged and convicted hangs over y

I suppose it had the effect of legitimizing telemarketing at the time, but the effect diminishes as more and more people abandon landlines. Spammers can't legally call a cell phone without express written consent unless they dial the

Not sure how that helps when the caller spoofs the caller ID. According to Twilio, the spam call I received earlier today came a number registered a T-Mobile customer named Sharon. Pretty sure the actual origin was a call center overseas.

I was wrong to use the term 'fine'. The TCPA expressly allows individuals to sue for damages . The FCC need not get involved. If someone auto-dials your cell phone, and you can figure out who it is, you can take them to court w

Calls and text messages to cell phones that use any sort of auto-dialer are illegal without express written consent (and the term 'auto-dialer' is applied rather broadly). The same goes for calls that deliver a pre-recorded mes

This. The only time I answer a call from an unknown number is if I'm expecting a food delivery, and it might be the restaurant or delivery person calling. Otherwise, I mash the 'decline' button, and it goes to voicemail.

by BonesJustice 9y ago
Be careful with any sort of auto-dialer, even if you script it up yourself. If the contact number you're given happens to be a cell phone, you'll run afoul of the TCPA. Those fines can add up quickly.

After 3.5 years at an enterprise software shop in Atlanta, I was making 80k. This was in 2010, and I'd been working there since graduation. My skills/value had advanced much faster than my comp. I left for a new role in NYC wit
