Not sure where you're located at, but I've never heard unemployment referred to as "substantial". I've known a number of people who ended up on it, and it's generally a percentage of your normal wage, so I don&

Likely only if/when someone complains to something like OSHA or the local Dept. of Labor. And that follows on whether you can handle looking for a new job. If your name comes out, you might just loose your job, and most people in that

Yup. And they're tremendously useful (and the reason I don't normally need a db workbench tool). However, at a past employer, I inherited an absolutely awful CMS/fulfillment system/CRM hybrid that was bad at all parts of

Heavy Linux user here, and I'm more than willing to pay for good software that provides a vital service for me. That being said, there definitely is a fine line, as if the software doesn't provide value over a similar oss/fos

Seconded. I dislike a forced-subscription model, but I'm definitely onboard with this type of hybrid model. Often times I go between jobs where a particular piece of software is no longer relevant to me, such as perhaps DataGrip from J

I totally agree with 1 & 2 as being major differentiators in any EV discussion. I owned a Nissan Leaf gen1 and it was painful. It was about 2.5yo when I purchased it, and it claimed nearly 50mi range according to the range estimator (fa

Because of a lot of existing internal tools that directly call and manage VBox to set up local testing environments and stacks. It's a planned initiative for the future, but it means a fundamental change in a number of tools and would

Do you use any other virtualization software along side HyperV? We have a lot of legacy stuff that integrates with VirtualBox, but wanted to start edging towards Docker. However, when I last spent a couple of sprints attempting to get them

IME it depends on the shop and it's own skill level. If you've got a bunch of devs with only experience in the tech stack the company is using, they'll be heavily selective for a match to their stack. If they've got a br

What's the chance of a thicker/deeper version in the future? I'd love to see one with enough thickness to support a low profile mechanical keyboard for custom layouts. With my RSI, I'm almost unable to use standard lapto

The solution for things like this is a multi-facet power grid, with renewables, nuclear, and (small ammounts of) fossil fuels, paired with grid-scale energy storage. For example, the pumped hydro station in Wales [0] can store up to 9.1GWh

Given the number of contact tracing event's I've had since my kids school opened (with only about 30-50% in person attendance), I strongly disagree with 'safe'. I've had to quarantine my oldest since his younger bro

Oh, I agree. But if it comes down to dropping it in the trash or giving it to his family? In that case, I vote administering the vaccine. At no point should this vaccine be wasted, people have literally given their lives to save others duri

Well, things like the home/end behavior and back/delete key behavior are different on OS X but behave the same on Windows, most standard linux flavors, Sun OS, many BSD flavors, and Chrome OS (I'll give you the argument that

OS X has some shitty discoverability. I was required to use a macbook as my work system for a little over two years, and I never discovered those. Would it not make sense to just put these kinds of things in the open? Why not have a fourth

He did attempt to find the people who should have received it. He just wasn't able to find enough on a tight timeline. Honestly? As long as he made a good faith effort to distribute the doses he had available, then hell yeah I endorse

He did attempt to find the 'people the vaccine is meant for'. He just wasn't able to find enough on a tight timeline. In my opinion that makes this, at least in part, a fault of those above him. There should be a standby list

ooof... well, thanks for asking, cause I hadn't stopped to think about it before. Searched around online and found it mentioned a few places, but ultimately it looks like they collect sales and order info and resell it... Damn. I'

Check out FakeSpot[0]. They do meta analysis on reviews to try and remove/filter inorganic reviews. They have a browser extension which really helps, imo. Doesn't exactly remove counterfeit products, but goes a decent way towards

That's like saying Oxford Dictionary shouldn't be able to make money off their dictionary because it contains the word rape. It's a damn definition, not an article or essay on rape. Facts shouldn't be censored because so

It's been almost ten years since I last done any of the back end math for this kind of thing, but you could probably get within the ballpark using COTS rubidium oscillators like those used for cell towers. They often show up on auction

The Android port appears to be published by 505 Games and Codeglue, and more recently Pipeworks, according to Wikipedia. It's likely that the primary devs have little to no control of that port, including the ability (and possibly ip r

I've found that people who aren't working on large data cubes or time series don't see as much value in variable explorers. Anyone who's dealt with huge data arrays appreciate it. Also, just wanna say Spyder looks like i

Ignore anyone criticizing your workflow. Tools like Spyder and Jupyter can be great when working with datasets in a way that IDEs aren't quite suited for. Variable explorers and integrated charting/plotting can be fantastic for vi

If you judge someone by the tools they use, you are a junior dev. Embarrassing. Stop and consider that there are different tools for different purposes. Exactly the same way Word, Publisher, Photoshop, and Sublime or Vim are different from

I honestly can't even come up with a valid reason for something like nested venvs. At that point it seems more like someone's doing something wrong than 'things get tricky'.

It's probably more likely that the humidifier in TFA is just a poorly designed POS and should be replaced with a better version of the same evap type. If you notice, the evap ones TC covers in his video all have easily accessible fans
