There is no such thing as an "enlisted officer" in the uniformed services of the United States. There are Non-Commissioned Officers, but they're not actually officers and they're never in command of anything larger than

I think a better approach would be requiring that developers (and their managers and testers etc.) working on software that could kill or injure people if it malfunctioned have some sort of a professional license, that would be granted and

I client of mine still has a fairly large piece Delphi of code in production and I must say it's a bit of a liability for them. An example of a technical problem they face is getting the particular version of Delphi they use work with

I worked on some fairly large C# projects where the teams had zero-warning policies. It's not that difficult to achieve with a bit of discipline. Warnings in third-party dependencies only show up if you build them from source, but thes

Surely, infringers of the GPL could cite the same argument?

In the US, if you use someone else's work or recording in your work, it's derivative work and unless the original work was in the public domain or your usage constitutes "fair use" (e.g. parody), you need to get their pe

Even VAT is fairly straightforward if you sign up for the VAT Flat Rate Scheme (assuming you're eligible). You'd probably need to pay for something like FreeAgent to help you with your VAT filings, but amount of money the Flat Rat

Yes, that's something that I do as well, but will Core Data pick it up, or will it use the one that ships with the system?

by DrJokepu 11y ago
I've never worked with Core Data, but I assume it always uses the SQLite version that ships with iOS (as opposed to a version you ship with your app), so that means that you wouldn't see these improvements on iOS for at least a ye

I have dealt with Fastmail support in the past, although it was regarding invoicing questions, not identity fraud. My experiences were fairly positive.

Meh, this is a bit overly dramatic. I've played around with the interface briefly and really didn't find it that bad.

Right, this is the fate of many apps on the Mac App Store. Eventually you run out of people you are able to reach who are willing to purchase your app. Because you cannot charge for updates, this means that continued development and support

I don't want to get into specifics because I have abandoned their development and support a long time ago. The first one was a developer tool priced around $10, the second one was a more generic IT productivity tool priced around $5. T

But fingerprints are personal data and at least in the EU the handling of personal data is very strictly regulated. It's not the same thing at all, but still the analogy works I think.

Also, the Soviet Union was dissolved in 1991, how come there were 4 USSR nationals between 2001 and 2015 applying for permanent residency?

Yes I mostly agree with that, even though I don't normally recline my seat if someone behind me used a Knee Defender I'd definitely complain about it, just out of spite as it's also not a very polite thing to do.

Most of the time I don't recline my seat at all because I simply forget that it's a thing I can do, especially if the person in front of me doesn't recline his seat enough that I notice it.

Actively is the keyword here. Not reclining is the passive, default thing to do, because during takeoff you can't recline your seat anyway. If you had to recline your seat all the way back during takeoff, your argument would be valid.

by DrJokepu 11y ago
By reclining your seat all the way back you're forcing the person behind you to recline his seat all the way back, which in turn forces the person behind the person behind you to recline his seat an so on, it's just not a very min
