On the GIF/JIF debate: Every word (except gin) that starts with G, then a vowel, then an F, is pronounced with a hard G. For example: Gaffe. Gift. Guff. Guffaw. Most one-syllable words that start with G have a hard G (not an exhaustive

For the most part I actually had wonderful teachers during my school career. What I bitterly disagreed with was a lot of the curriculum, and I knew they didn’t have a say in that. So my question to educators here would be: Do you ever feel

The article said three datacentres further down, so they're capturing a total of around 126TB/day, which is big but definitely a long way short of the biggest Splunk deploys (multi-PB afaik).

There's loud pipes, and then there's LOUD PIPES. I'm a motorcycle rider with an aftermarket exhaust, but I didn't put it on to make it louder, I simply prefer the different visual look of the aftermarket exhaust (undert

Multiple studies agree that mask wearing is highly effective, and even moreso in confined spaces/close quarters. In a study done onboard Navy ships it reduced transmission by 70%. See below for many studies: https://www.cdc.

Which many devices solved by not sending output to the connector until after it sensed resistance on the pins, then enabled the audio output. So, another problem solved by 3.5mm jacks! God I miss having a real connector on my phone :(

There's two common motorcyclist signals for police: Either tapping the top of the helmet, or pointing up at the sky while moving your arm in a circle (to mime spinning police lights). Other motorcyclist signs are sticking the left leg

9th grade? This seems ludicrously late to me. I had algebra introduced in third grade (8-9 years old) and had a far easier time throughout school as a result. I've since gone on to have an interest in mathematics in my adult life.

I build a lot of technic models that have functions. I like to both improve and motorise them, or use them as a base to make a model closer to something I want. I like truck cranes and 4WD/trial trucks the most

That's not quite the issue at hand though. In that situation, the bank should be opening an account with the correct name then issuing a credit card with an ASCII-converted name. This would be acceptable because the personal informat

I have to disagree. These systems aren't "survivors" - they're held together with a fragile weave of scripts, hacks, unsupported hardware and outdated knowledge. Often treated as a black box, they become an object that

Also also: black it out with an overly large box, otherwise it's possible to infer information from the length or height of the box. Eg, is the number two digits or ten? Box length might tell you.

Exactly! I couldn’t agree more. I’ve always said that you need to look after power users’ interests, because even though they’re a small percentage of your user base they’re the ones who influence everyone else. A single power user will lik
