The adjective modern is so popular, yet it's so devoid of meaning. What does having a modern syntax even mean? The impression I get when I read projects described like that is that the authors are saying they are following the latest t

Regardless of popularity, his strategy of denying his mistakes got him as far as the white house, which I'd say is pretty far, but probably cost him the reelection. Handling your mistakes poorly is not the end, but it does weigh you do

My understanding is that cloud providers will share the same machine among several different people, therefore allowing tasks that don't trust each other to run in their machines.

It seems to me that trying to either stay under $1M or above $1.4M is harder to manage than using a slightly more complicated formula to calculate apple's tax.

Due to a limitation in technology, people are forced to take the population risk as their own, which aligns self interest with collective interest. However, that will not always be the case and, at some point, people will be able to see the

There are different degrees of public reaction. One thing is to admit a mistake in a public mailing list for an open source project or even in a blog post that were front page of this very forum. It's still a public/external react

I think you're thinking about a very particular kind of mistake. However, for mistakes that are not hitting headlines, the original list from the article actually works. Specially for technical mistakes. I haven't been in a positi

The students are also trusted, or at least accountable. It's very different than a random stranger. That said, I wouldn't store anything truly private in a shared box like that, specially in the university, where the boxes are lik

It's not really true that everyone committing a crime will use cryptography. Most people (including criminals) do not care or think about cryptography that much, but the providers of the services and devices they use to commit crimes d

There's more than one way to skin a cat. If you're running something as simple and low profile as OP suggested, all you need to backup from the system are the packages you installed and a handful of configurations you changed in &

Why wouldn't it? Unless you are changing architecture after a component of your system dies, there's no reason your old binaries would not work.

While they are built for different purposes, they are still 40+ year old editors that are still in use today. Although vi, or should I say vim, is still seeing more active development than wordperfect for dos, it's still true to its or

I think work arounds being easier doesn't really need any empirical data to back it up. By having the source code, a lot more people will be able to make sense of it and figure out how to change (or even fork) the original software. I&

I frequently hit return rather than typing a period. However, I feel that's not really good practice, as I often see myself sending a lot of small messages which could probably be better summarised with a couple well thought out senten

According to Newton's equation, gravity's force is F=(GmM) / r^2. Those are the gravitational masses. The mass in F = ma is the inertial mass. The fact that they are the same is remarkable. If it weren't for that, differ

Maybe they should either just give you a t-shirt on sign up or not give a t-shirt at all but prizes to the best contributions or something like that. I'm unconvinced that the prospect of getting a t-shirt would incentivize someone to p

Defamation is a very serious crime there. The hotel had hard evidence and, I presume, saying a hotel practices modern day slavery is very high up in the list. In light of that, it doesn't seem that preventive detention, which I assume

I have a theory that people like those sort of white noise sounds due to plesant memories associated to them. For instance, maybe the person is into sci-fi or, for the coffee shop ones, maybe it's someone who often goes to coffee shops

I loved the testimonials section. What do you do with that? Do you keep turning them on and off to see how they work? How did you originally find out about how you can extract and set/under feature flags in Windows?

Another way to think about it is that no product is ubiquitously liked by the entire population. One important part of developing a new product is figuring out who your target audience is. Their feedback is likely relevant to you, but the f
