Engineering Code of Ethics dictate that safety of public and environment is paramount. I know that's true for my P.Eng governing body; it is written into our bylaws. I'm sure its the same for most others as well. I think until Sof

Maybe my attitude is wrong, but I've always felt the onus is on the Question asker to dictate that they've found the old answers and provide explanation to why they're no longer relevant to the problem. "I've alread

Yeah, but what about scraping the entirety of a user's comment history to drive it through the algorithm to advertise to the things they aren't explicitly showing interest in?

I've found it pretty usable out of box, though I guess it depends on exactly what customizations you normally recommend.

I get that impression sometimes too. I had a comment a couple years ago on this site about how dumb it is that when I search for "TeamViewer" the first result is an ad for TeamViewer... why are they paying to advertise above their

I should have clarified that I'm Canadian as well. The 8 weeks I refer to are the extended benefits, my wife is taking the other 61.

Yeah, I can actually see that. It took me a little bit of trial and error to get mine set up the way I like them... I actually have different sized tips in the left & right ears. I guess that's just anatomy for ya.

I once asked my friend: "Is there anything Regex can't do?" He replied: "Work the first time?" And that's how I always think of Regex now. It's an incredibly powerful tool that I pull out pretty often,

Without coming across too much as an ad placement, I have to say I have virtually none of these problems with my Jaybird X2 headphones, and I think its entirely a design thing. My headphones are wired from one to the other. They're wir

My first child is due January. I sat down with my boss about a month or so ago and told him I'm intending to take parental leave. "No problem" he said, I told him my intention was to take the full 8 weeks I'm entitled to

I just want to say that I thoroughly enjoyed that site. It feels incredibly grounded and a place where the author can have some fun. It tweaks some sort of nostalgia nerve while still having some good insights in his writings. The page on A

True. I thought a bit about that after submitting my comment but I figured going back to write in a whole bunch of caveats would just derail everything. I do a lot of highway driving, and Saskatchewan doesn't see the same level of co

I'd put a good wager that "speeders" may fall to that category. I find that I generally travel above the speed limit and feel far safer than I do when I set my cruise to the proper speed limit. Why? Because when I'm pa

I can't really think of anything directly immoral about the business I participate in. Anything that could be pointed as an ethical grey area is more like a side-effect of the capitalist society we exist within. So maybe more specifica

There's likely a small army of people making up the maintenance crews however. I imagine routine inspections alone have a huge crew doing them around the clock.
