Alright. So what's the rate of false positives for that test? In other words, if this test (and similarly the stanford study in LA) have even a small rate of false positives, combined with any sampling bias, it's going to lead to

I don't disagree, but I don't want to sleep on the kitchen floor because it's uncomfortable. I also wouldn't want to sleep in a bed _in_ a cage, given the option of sleeping in a bed _outside_ of a cage. And I think that

You read about pound dogs that are finally adopted, and they can run and frolic outside... but they still have to sleep in a crate because otherwise they suffer from anxiety. Is this the same thing for cube-dwellers?

Price per square foot is less useful for a smaller size structure. consider the surface area of a box relative to it's volume: that's the materials. But yeah, that's still expensive for a box.

Doing something well means you already imagined doing something well first. Or, in other words, "imagining doing something well" is necessary, but not sufficient to actually do something well.

Yep. I had ABVD chemo just over 11 years ago, followed by (exceedingly rare) bleomycin lung toxicity that nearly killed me. First off, don't shirk the Chemo. It works (I had hodgkins lymphoma, in case you have the same), and the cure r

Criminalizing bugs would be insane, and would drive up the cost to create software, and probably also drive down the quality (due to pushing us into a smaller ecosystem of proprietary code). It would definitely kill open-source, because who

Font rendering is really good on all of the various distros now, including sub-pixel smoothing. I remember the late 90s though. Ugh. Staircase aliasing and horrible stroke widths.

45 yr old developer here, been at this for a long time... While it can be tempting to just push through, that can be dangerous. Sometimes that "meh" feeling is a symptom of burnout. Did you have a long week? Lots of hours? Put out

It's not a valid claim IMHO. If you look at the sample size that they're basing it on, you can see that it's shrinking at the attrition rate for what they are measuring. Once you get to 117 years old, there are only a few peo

Containers involve a lot of complexity, sure. But a lot of that complexity is invoked in different ways with different deployment mechanisms. Using RPM to deploy your packages to servers? You need an update policy, curated hosts/VMs, b

Sounds awesome. Back in the day people were (or still are) stuffing VG30 (Nissan 300ZX) engines in 70s era Datsun 510s, which were awesome little rally cars in their time. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0MXPq8LLhU

I am baffled why the manufacturers aren't all offering direct B2B for the bike shops. There clearly isn't enough margin left for the average bike shop if they aren't moving the volume of bikes due to direct sales, but at the

More likely something like: resolve_renderer_module(user_agent.os) where the osx/Windows ones are already loaded in RAM, but it has to try (and fail) to load the linux one every time somebody tries. This is classic Hanlon's razor

There is no reason to assume that apple is either aware of the bug, or that they assisted the FBI in breaking the phone. It is not only common, but NORMAL for hackers to have unknown exploits before the vendor is aware of them. Where do you
