I completely agree. I much prefer leveraging actual javascript to get what I need instead of spending time trying to fumble my way through jq syntax.

All software should provide something meaningful for anybody to diagnose, if they’re inclined to. It’s particularly bad in the (Apple) mobile ecosystem, including AppleTV. I have AdGuard Home but one of my spouse’s streaming services wouldn

Titles are what “salary comparisons” go by when HR “compares” compensation between employees and “competition.” What else would they be able to use?

“because it is possible to have race conditions surface even within a single database query.” This brought back awful memories of MS SQLServer and JDBC. Way back when, maybe Java 1.5 or so, SQLServer would deadlock between connections when

Well, “just” as in “recently forced everyone to replace their cards” also works. My CapitalOne mastercard was deactivated January 14, even though it was still valid through 2030.

Uhh, if the system powers off immediately after the first command (mv a b), the second command (mv c d) would never run. So where would d come from if the command that created it never executed?

To see extreme examples of this, look at any wallowed-out/wallered-out through-bore in construction equipment (e.g. excavator buckets), particularly when a pin hasn't been greased, or is seized. This same scenario combined with th

The Aperture discontinuation still pains me as well. Especially since I can't even run it anymore. I also bought Final Cut Express. Not sure I'll buy Apple software again either.

The misogyny has always been there. The 6/11/1994 comic about sensitivity training comes to mind. "I can't find my keys" and "my blouse falls to the floor."

In college I had an account on our ACM chapter's DEC Alpha, which I used primarily for mudding. Its DNS name was cray-ymp.xxx.xxx.edu, which resulted in more than a few moments of shock/consternation from mods. "You're

Pricing something based on what you project to make over 20 years seems like an insane way to go about it. Nobody can predict that far in the future. It's a no-lose scenario for banks though, which is why it's done that way I gue

I'm sure the money you saved on brake jobs was more than eaten up by the DSG service intervals. The interval on my Jetta Sportwagen Diesel with DSG was 40,000 miles. That required special hardware (tools and dongles, IIRC) and softwa

A majority of those made in the ballpark of 150hp or less, with the exception of the S2000. A few variants of the MR2 and the Nissan made over 200, but not many. None ever came near Japan’s gentlemen’s agreement of “276” hp.

I can't think of any from the 90s that weren't 6 cylinders. Nissan 300Z, Nissan Skyline GT-R, Honda/Acura NSX, Toyota Supra, and Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 were all 6 cylinders. The only exceptions I can think of are the Subaru I

Microcenter costs are often competitive, plus you don’t have to worry about counterfeits. Where else would you be buying equivalents online anyway?
