Is this meant to imply Russia is using bioweaponary or just is it just coincidence? I'm genuinely unsure if this is one of this "saying it without saying it" things by the Journal.

I burst out laughing. It’s true, and I had totally forgotten about there being a separate “iTunes Store” app. You also reminded me of the weird way you that all works. Like how you to authenticate devices for reasons that feel very data-ce

I’ve been told Apple also aggressively goes after those who upload clips of their shows, which, if true, is just crazy to me. People share things they like, and if it’s just a clip, it’s basically free, organic advertisement. Te only places

I'm 34. I've comfortably been working in tech for about 10 years plus 5 or 6 years of college education in "tech" (engineering/computer scientist) . I've been in my current position for 5 years now and I'

I find you respond the most negatively to accusations and critisims you deep-down know to be true...

All my favorite shows for the past 2 years have been on AppleTV+. They make damned good shows. I personally have no issue paying for what they offer. I think this issue they need to address is that they just have not communicated to the pub

I've seen it failing more but, honestly, my faith in it has grown so much I'm simply asking it to do more and trusting it is able to do more. . I asked it last night to give me a list of countries that met a certain criteria then

I’m honestly going to kickback hard on this. I ran a fairly big project which started on Gerrit and over time it just became more and more of a burden to manage and was clearly losing ground every year to Github. We eventually made the swit

i’ll also expand upon my answer to say that, in tech at least, the need to fire is often after a hiring binge. if there is a general feeling that the hiring binge went too then it is natural to assume you need to fire those you have just hi

last-in-first-out is often the way to go. In many jurisdictions, it is simply easier to fire your newer employees as certain employment protection rights only kick in after so many months or even years. Also, the newest people in are likely

If a human is allowed to consume content and be informed/influenced by it then I don’t see any reason why an algorithm can’t. Isn’t that why we publish; so it is consumed and becomes, I’m a sense, part of the entity that consumes it?

Are you sure the address isn’t disabled? It is a feature. A “hide my” address can be set up on your account but disabled, meaning that you own that address but it will not forward the email to your mailbox. You can enable it at any time, at

Almost everything here is outside of the ISA-spec's scope though. Mandating a fallback-vector be specified for each compilation and there be compatible alts available there seems like you're going beyond an ISA spec and into how p

Why though? We don't expect that of X86, ARM, or anything else. X86, ARM or the hundreds of other ISAs that have come and gone. We don't ask because it's impossible without putting a freeze on adding new instrucions. Once you

Back at its peak, Google felt almost like some Utopian movement. "I work for Google" was the biggest brag, and almost everyone taking an undergraduate computing course would dream of landing a position there after graduating. It b

While it certainly involved a lot of people doing the right thing, that peaceful transition was absolutely incredible and I really do think that's why non-South Africans look on Mandela so fondly. If you'd told me everything about

Even reading about it seems to bore me. I get to that "New Rome, Capital of the 'American Republic'" bit everytime and I can just feel the wave of "meh" wash over me. Oh great, someone thinks there's a lot

I wish them well, but I was hoping given their general ethos they'd forgot the inferred typing. I spend way too much time in my current work trying to debug people messing up types. I'm sure they'll give me excellent reasons

Somehow the fact you chose word "vernacular" comes across as amazingly Australian to me. It's like Australians instinctively know that you need to sprinkle your sentences with some interesting vocabulary every so often. I&#x

I'm shocked they haven't added this. Especially with so many projects using bots to close issues just because of inactivty (annoyingly when the inactivity is on the side of the develops, not the person raising the issue). I'd

I always assumed if i ever started living out of a van I'd at least be in a situation where i didn't have to worry about working. What's the point in being homeless if i still have to work?

Yeah. Remember how much it'd mess you up to think that everyone else (or so it seemed) sas doing cooler stuff than you and just living better with all their shit figured out? Everyone else had a GF, didn't have acne and would go t

On the flip side is really fair for a nation to claim their emissions aren't their responsibility because it was due to the production of exported goods? Would we accept that line from Germany if they decided to keep a coal plant open.

Modeling a creature is so damned hard. Take a single celled organism and break it down to the most basic one you can imagine: I'm willing to bet a model of its interaction with drugs would take decades to be useful in any manner. We&#x

I agree but i'd go even fruther and say the categories of comedy seem so damned plentify that almost any theory, or even set of theories, fails to capture all cases. Some people say it's about a twist in what one would expect, but

Here's the thing: I take a step back and realize it's not a big deal. No one's dying, suffering, or anything of the sort because I don't reallly my games through steam or stream my favorite tv shows. Worst case scenario
