I had trouble determining if this was satire or not. Its a picture of a VHS cassette and not a particularly interesting one. Im not saying that he shouldn't get attribution for his work, but this is also generic enough as to not be a u

I have similar troubles with the f11 key. I only use it in windows(step into) but it has never worked on Mac. I guess the next thing to do is try this milder fix for key 96+7?

So Ive been thinking about biometrics and phone security a bit, and it seems to me there is a pretty easy way to tell how secure your phone needs to be on an X/Y chart where Y= Security needed and X = Data sensitivity/Personal-nes

Seeing as how this is an issue in one of their core competencies, this is concerning. Tesla wants to be a battery company(amongst other things). I hope that with this redesign, they're actually fixing problems and working their way to

I don't think that any of the common development methodologies are crap. I see no problem with writing tests as a way to work out ideas. I see no problem with not doing so. I think the main flaw in these methodologies is that they assu

As someone also in my 40s I can relate to this tendency. I am not an amazing developer by any standard and I tend to under value my skillset. Ive seen people who are 10x engineers and I can say for certain that I am not that. I do think, ho

Keep in mind that the stock market is only one part of the financial markets. There’s treasury (Tbill),forex, bond, metals, and derivatives of all of these(futures/swaps etc) and then other instruments used for hedging. All of these ma

I also grew up in and still live near this area. I’ve seen the Barker Reservoir flood at least half a dozen times. When I first moved to Katy it didn’t cause much of a problem. It didn’t have a through road and only had a gun range in it. I

The companies with the best glassdoor reviews are most likely the companies that know how to "hack" the system. For instance, a former consulting company I worked for made leaving a "glassdoor review" semi mandantory as

As Ive gotten older, I have severely relaxed my dogma on coding standards. I agree that code should be maintainable, legible and logically formed. Sometimes though, you just need to get things done, and architecting a large solution of abst

Not really in his prime. You are conflating popular and mainstream. I’m old enough to have watched delirious and raw when it was released on video. Eddie was popular but the mainstream didn’t embrace him until the dr Doolittle years. That’s

This. Eddie was never mainstream but he was not offensive for the homophobia jokes. He was offensive because he said shit fuck pussy in a time this was not considered socially appropriate. It wasn’t until this became more “normal” that the

I am skeptical that apple would be that shortsighted. If there was a smoking gun here, it would likely kill their smartphone business. I will share an anecdote that I hear at every release cycle for each new idevice: Stepson: Hey, my phone

Oracle and other vendors rarely interfere when shop brings them a deal for license revenue. If this was truly a 1 bid contract, it means that IBM likely made the sale and software selection. At that point they brought this deal to Oracle wh

Ive been on another IBM run project that started off very similarly for a large energy company. A few thoughts about this. 1) IBM pulled the same types of stunts on this project and also failed spectacularly. Its not in the news though, as

I've no doubt of some efficacy in certain situations for magnesium. However this article reads like this is the magic bullet to society's ails. Very anecdotal and hand picked cases do not make for a cure all, because there is no o

Rightly or wrongly, there are people here in the US that make it a hobby to become offended and make a big deal of how offensive it is. Obviously it would do everyone some good to use discernment with their actions, but everyone should also

Something tells me that doing so would raise eyebrows and require you to explain yourself. While it would be easy to say, hey I read this article and I figured I would help out. I cant help but thinking the bank would still press charges be
