I'm surprised they didn't push back when they said it was out of warranty. They send it in for repair, and it was never fixed. They can either continue the process of trying to repair it, or refund the original cost of the device.

My Mac tells me 5+ times per day that it's unable to backup something or another because I'm not logged into the Apple cloud or whatever it's called. And there's not obvious way to make it stop. This is not unique to Win

I really enjoy listening to people talk about things. I get the same enjoyment out of talk radio and any news radio that is editorialized. I enjoy lots of shows on the various NPR member stations. This format isn't inefficient, you&#x2

Many years ago, I was driving down the highway on my way to work and, when I pressed the breaks to slow down, the pedal just... went straight to the floor. I had to use the emergency break to slow down, get off the highway, and pull over. L

That's not entirely fair. It's relatively easy to learn the basics of regular expressions. But it's also relatively easy, with that knowledge, to write regular expressions that - don't work the way you want them to (miss

I tend to approach it a similar way... - If we do it <this way>, will <this requirement> be impossible to implement (without a huge rewrite cost) later? If so then, if <this requirement> is a realistic possibility, conside

You are using a different definition of readable than most people are. Most people are using it to mean "the target audience can read and understand the code, and do so in a way/context that allows them work with it". Your de

That's silly. Talking about such things; with friends, family, online, etc; raises awareness of it. And the more people that are aware of such things, the more likely they are to vote against it. So if you're relying on votes to c
