For me, the most egregious behavior comes from those “disruptive” services trying to be “helpful” by using the address form as search instead of taking the address as is. All of the possible choices invariably lead drivers to the wrong loca

I agree that having an integrated OS control every random co-processor in a machine would be undesirable, and that hardware abstractions are a good thing. But co-processors that can break OS' assumptions (regarding security, for exampl

Quite the opposite. While IME is discussed to death, the same loss of control is happening everywhere and becoming more and more entrenched. Like mentioned elsewhere in this thread, the problem isn't the presence of these types of comp

The IME gets a lot of hate around here, but let's not get distracted by it: higher-privilege co-processors running code outside the main OS' control is becoming (or already is) the norm everywhere. Intel-based PCs are just one ins

I get collaborative work. But pair programming for me is a net negative: two people working together outputting less than one person working alone. I don’t even consider it beneficial in the longer term (training, as you put it) given the d

“I have no idea about how effective pair programming is. My desire to discover it is zero.“ I stand with the OP. Maybe this is a young folks thing, but I don’t understand how anyone can pair program. It’s like going to the toilet with someo

MI3 may not have had Ron Gilbert’s involvement, but fits perfectly with 1 and 2. It’s an awesome game. MI4 was OK, but not memorable, and the 3D wasn’t a good fit for it.

Well… many of those tools are written while building those critical systems and scale, so they may include both the learnings as well as the mistakes. And, frankly, most people aren’t building things that are critical or require scale (no m

Up until the first attempt from Telefonica to buy PT’s share in Vivo, the government did have direct influence via a “golden share” left over from privatization. IIRC they (threatened to) use it to help PT’s management block the deal agains

Just a note that Portugal Telecom wasn't state owned anymore when those deals happened. The privately-owned PT was looking for places where to invest the money they got from selling their previous position in brazilian Vivo to Telefoni

If you’re on OpenWRT, you can mitigate this by having the DHCP client not send a RELEASE when it is stopped or restarted (network.wan.norelease=1). You can probably do the same on other platforms.

Electricity costs are going up, and hardware is harder to source due to the chip shortage (and thus likely more expensive, if you pay to get ahead of the line). Perhaps these are part of the reasons.

Python's base philosophy is duck typing. Whenever I read complaints like this the root cause is almost always trying to turn Python into something that it isn't instead of embracing what it is (if this isn't feasible, then Py

If you are CPU-bound in pure Python code you’ve already lost. However, most of the time you’re doing CPU-heavy tasks in Python you’re likely using libraries that are ultimately implemented in another language for performance. The GIL can
