   I remember reading about a procedure where you surgically insert a lens into the eye to correct the vision, and one huge benefit was the process is completely reversible compared to Lasik. Seems like a much better option?

   > Somehow pipenv got endorsed as an official tool by PyPA far before it was ready for production. Pretty much nails it for me. Being up to date with new technologies and tools is important, and once it became officially endorsed I (and m

    I've not tried Nix but this seems like a huge oversight if there is no local cache? Not everyone is blessed with unlimited gigabit fiber. Edit: Seems like I was wrong, and I'm happy about it. :)

    But that in itself is also a problem, because people outside the security community does not like Signal. I've tried so many times to convert people, but every non-security person prefer LINE, WhatsApp and Telegram. The reasons are sim

    I somewhat agree, but I think the author/creator should have ownership of their works as long as they live to allow them to support themselves. However, if the ownership is transfered to another person/organization/company, d

    I find it hard to understand why one would do something like this, effectively sabotaging your own career and likely facing severe legal consequences..

    I had a somewhat similar experience as Mr. Giacobbe in the article. Recently I had to make a last minute change in a hotel reservation via Agoda, but they require you to pay the full amount in order to cancel the reservation, and then re-do
