It’s not “too busy”. It’s that unless you have significant scale, the return for improvements like this are often not worth the engineering time. At companies with massive scale (read: large enough), even tiny improvements can pay for the

This simply ends advertising, and publishing generally. I’m not saying that gross negligence is okay, but I don’t think verifying every claim is a reasonable standard (it would be impossible).

Doesn’t this support the opposite? Ever dollar I pay anyone for services must be claimed as income, yet none of those are capital losses for me. Conversely, none of my capital losses can be claimed as anyone’s income.

Your first point was excellent, but now you’re trying to prove too much. QA for a software update on those machines is hardly going to justify the cost. But, along with a million other things, I’m sure it was itemized and subitemized, infla

This makes a lot of sense, but I’ll add that it’s also possible that the association was correct, but not for the assumed reason. For example, maybe the plane had a partially faulty breaker for the IFE, and there was a likelihood of trippin

Bazel is perfectly capable of producing static binaries, if that's what you want. It's not fair to say that does nothing to solve this problem, it simply does not mandate that the artifacts it produces are static.

I tried some of the cities from Ryanair’s system map, and it seems Oslo <-> Poznan is serviced only by Ryanair and Wizz Air. It’s certainly interesting to me that there are mid-sized cities better served by discount airlines If I were

I’m not judging or implying anything, it just made me curious. What two cities are only connected by Ryanair and Wizz Air?

Isn’t that how high end steak houses always organize their menu? The sides are typically separate from the steak itself and ordered a la carte. (I’m no steak house expert, but had a similar experience a couple of times and learned how it wo

I also wondered quite a bit about this difference. One interesting advantage of this alternate API is that calloc can always check for overflows, since a common pattern might be “calloc(user_input, sizeof(type))”, where using the older API

Nothing in my comment prescribes who or what you should pay attention to. First you’re bothered by what networks are covering. Then I explain why these topics may be interesting. So then you say I’m backwards because I shouldn’t pay attenti

Increasing funding for enforcement for the IRS is something that I personally feel is a good thing, but I think it’s fair to cover it in light of the fact that it seems to be colored by politics, like so much else. Why on earth would the De

The term “regex” is already used interchangeably for both classes. The Go regular expression library (which is widely used) does not support backreferences, and is guaranteed to run in linear time. It seems sillier to say “that’s not a re

I believe that by this point Sony had Spider-Man and Fox had X-men, both of which had proven to have legs. There was likely little doubt that a collection of other tried-and-true titles were worth a significant amount, even if Marvel Studi

Yeah, I thought about Westjet and decided that I wouldn’t quite call them a national competitor. I hope they continue to grow, both because I like Westjet and competition helps everyone. There’s a reason Air Canada’s unofficial slogan “we’r

Decisions are made at the margins. It’s always possible to look back and say “they should have done X, and they would have succeed.” It possible that there were many factors, but in my mind no minor change to the strategy would have helped.

This happened: Wind Mobile. They couldn't immediately build infrastructure across the entire country, so IIRC you were "roaming" outside a few major urban centers. However, I believe they also had unlimited US roaming (much b

I have a lot of experience in both places. Americans may think think they do, but I don’t think so. As bad as Comcast and others are in the USA, I have found them to be far more efficient and competitive than Rogers or Bell in Canada. Sam

I don't think you read my comment. There are lots of ways that you can end up with a concentration of a particular ethnicity/religion/etc. It is unreasonable to immediately assume that it is a result of nepotism, and the spec
