I think this could maybe be answered better by a Dakar rally driver, as driving through a desert without roads with minimal waypoints or detailed maps and only field of vision would be a similar experience I guess.

I think you are missing a fundamental feature of what makes Make special, which is how it handles dependencies. It uses file timestamps to decide what to do and especially what things to skip because they don't need to be done. All tho

Take a look at one of my Makefiles[0]. It uses most features Make has to offer (to much so). It doesn't matter what state you start from, fresh clones repo or outdated virtualenv. Running `make run` will do everything needed to run the

Sometimes the job of these people is actually to barge in, interrupt and strike up a conversation, eg: sales. For them, having smalltalk (building a relation with a customer) is being productive.

ISP's already need to keep that accounting for "normal" abuse handling and a lot of countries have data retention laws, so I doubt it will make any difference.

Or just short out the capacitor terminals with a metal object like the screwdriver and you're fine. But still, if you don't do that and you get chocked it will just be a little painful jolt.

My bet is we will have a small explosion of cheap consumer laptops running ARM, but more as a marketing ploy to ride the hype train around Apple computers with ARM better being much better than Intel. (even though those ARM chips won't

Well, if I didn't have the life experience I had by then I might have been pushed into the sale. He also tried to make me feel guilty about wasting his time (1,5 hours) talking through and drawing up a kitchen plan for us. Which is why

Indeed, it must work somehow, or else they would no longer be in business. I think it also has to do with demographic. Some people are just easily persuaded by these kinds of offers, so if there is a hole in the market, someone will fill it

I've actually had some good experience with a salesman where he told me there was a limited offer, but if I could wait they would have a different offer next month, just on a different brand of equipment. Still not fully transparent bu

The getting angry is just another sales tactic if the first one doesn't work. I've had one salesmen try that on me as well. I just set there kind of laughing at the show he was pulling of, but my girlfriend felt genuine threatened

Another example of this (at least where I'm from) is kitchen salesmen. "I can only offer you this discount today." or "It so happens my district manager is in today, I can maybe arrange a discount if you are willing to s

The 2 x 64kbit was nice and all, but being able to surf all evening (reduced tariff) on 1 line and have the house phone available for incoming calls (for my parents) at the same time, that was the game changer for me. No more, "just 30

However most of the time it's not the devs making the decision on what needs to be done for a site.

This also makes the default auto update behaviour of Homebrew itself a double edged sword. On the one end it ensures people run into less issues because Homebrew is always up to date but on the other end an RCE like this will be propagated

I agree that code all is disposable, old and new alike. But without knowledge and insight you won't know which code to throw away. So you either end up being the guy who introduces the new product that everybody complains about because

That's why creating a new codebase is not the solution per se. Understanding the old codebase and putting its behaviour under test should be the first step. Only then you can start working on a new codebase, compare its behaviour to th
