I am assuming those rates aren't adjusted for inflation? Real rates have certainly decreased in the USA, but when we had high rates we tended to have high inflation as well.

I think the real value is the Pi Zero W. Stick them in appliances wall over the house. SSH into them if you like. Send them over the air updates. Program them with the same Linux tools you know and love. Also, as far as I know there aren&#x

Well, if they get root on your mongo vm they can still drop all your tables (or ransomware you) right? So would it make a difference in this particular case? Outside the VM tooling probably not being so insane as to bypass the firewall?

Isn't this problem easily and simply solved by dual licensing GPL/commercial? If Daniel wanted something in return for his code, he should not have MIT licensed it. I don't mean that in a snarky way, I just don't see wha

I think they are suggesting current usage is limited by political fallout due to the misidentification rate. They hypothesize reducing the misidentification rate will increase the usage rate, ultimately killing more people (but fewer weddin

If you disagree that science should, in modern parlance, be interpreted as a reference to the scientific method, I guess I have no basis for argument. It's not my intent to be the grammar (semantic, I guess?) police. I appreciate the s

That's kind of my point though. I haven't seen sufficient evidence to confidently believe the vodka played a role in the crust. To be fair, I haven't seen sufficient evidence that no difference exists either. It just bugs me

I'd like to see an as-blind-as-possible test of water vs vodka in the pie crust. Kenji has other pie crust recipes where he talks about encouraging gluten formation. Of course it's possible that there are some recipes where you wa

Makes me wonder. My Thermapen sucks. I got it as a gift 5-10 years ago, and it seemed to come in nice official packaging. It has never met the settle time claims.

The proposed action here is to not separate "gifted" kids until grade 9. That seems pretty reasonable to me. I don't think this is about true prodigies (don't they usually get picked up by universities?). If you can sepa

I think Friedman's ideas are substantially different. The quote from Smith is discussing tradesmen running a business in their own self interest. In some ways, Friedman's point is the opposite. That the laborers perform in the sel

Did you ever find a satisfying solution? I am trying to make more effective use of docker for development and anticipate needing GDB at some point. I imagine one could install GDB in the container and connect to it remotely? Or from the con

Why couldn't the US government buy the patents at a generous price, then give it away? Apologies if that's a naive question, I don't really understand the issues at play here. But the article seems to imply people who want to

If it's faster or uses less memory, that's something that can be easily measured. If it's more secure, that's harder to measure. But that's not even the tagline, just that it's written in Rust.

Maybe a fair point, I guess it's ambiguous because technical people are both the users and developers of terminal multiplexers. I do still question what it means if the coolest thing to say about it is it was written in Rust, whether t

Then shouldn't there be some observable (better yet, measurable) side effects?

I see a lot of projects on here where the tagline is that they're written in Rust. Shouldn't that be completely opaque to the user? I don't have any idea what programming language most of the software I use is written in. I

Conceptually, I don't think the solution to "switching windows is too hard" ought to be "make the terminal part of the browser". Although it does seem like perhaps the least immediately painful way to solve the prob

The outrage and does seem out of place to me. I think it's fair (even reasonable) for the kernel maintainers to ban those responsible, but I'm not sure why everyone here is getting so offended about fairly abstract harms like &quo
