We're saying the same thing. 80s/90s == "couple of decades, if not longer". Granted, 20 years is "recent" to me but is most of a lifetime for others. Here's the seminal case from '86 protesting the la

That's a pretty recent thing. IIRC going topless is still technically illegal in NYC. A court case from the late 80s or early 90s carved out a narrow exception (nakedness is not automatically lewdness) without voiding the entire law. A

This looks nice, but why does a bus app need to read my calendar? And photos? And identity?

Looking at the source [0], the date field is specified as the last date of the Julian calendar used by that locale. Since LN is the Julian calendar and will never change, it's presumably set to the max date value that the calendar.h

Author here. What i gleaned from Lacan was a kind of playful approach to the interaction of language and power. Going too pomo is itself a mistake of course. There really are some solid objective truths out there, just perhaps not all-enco

Please do not spread FUD, or at least clearly explain your worries. The patent clause only applies if you sue Facebook for patent infringement in React itself . It's a very clear defensive policy. Despite all the breathless blog posts

My rule of thumb is that if a line of code survives its first five years it'll live forever. The age of a piece of code is the single greatest predictor of its future.

Ah, that's easy: don't store carbonated drinks in the door of your fridge. Every time you open the door it shakes them and releases gas from the liquid. Try it!

Ok, stipulated. What does that mean for you in your life? What do you differently because you believe this?

What is it specifically that you believe, and why do you believe it?

It's slightly tricky. The files are hosted on S3 but have some interesting referer and key restrictions. You can see the webm and mp4 URLs in the source but can't download them naively. But if you open Chrome's console and lo

4% return above inflation and taxes is a bit optimistic long-term, but otherwise this is correct. However where you stand depends on where you sit. Many other factor have to be "priced in" and the prices are dependent on what&#x27

The opposite of NIH is Tinker Toy. You just glue existing bits together. This can work, but usually only on problems that have been solved before, and therefore have OSS software available. A good example I experienced personally is data pi

Sure. If you crave variety as a standalone good, by all means mix it up. I would probably still ask for two orders of yuca frita as my sides. Hell, I did that last week. :) There's an interesting experiment mentioned in Predictably Ir

Tongue in cheek, but this a good analogy for transaction costs and signaling theory. I drive my wife nuts by keeping my order secret, but eight times out of ten we end up sharing everything. Unless she's eating a whole fried fish in wh

To add to this: every serious production system tends toward a slurry of 2NF-3NF-BCNF models, mostly for performance reasons. The case of lastMessageTime is a simpler one, as it might drift out of date but generally you get false positives

TLDR: cache invalidation is hard, even if you don't call it cache invalidation. More seriously there are plenty of ways to make this less painful, eg, adding a "lastMessageTime" to the Room table, which would reduce the work

Sounds like they should sit down and re-think why they need one service for every two engineers (!), and ten repos per service (!!).

It'd be a neat resolution, but that's basically telling one set of creditors to make a second set of creditors whole out of their own pockets. And there's likely thousands of them with multiple layers: eg, your new iPhone 7 i

Hanjin doesn't own the goods; they're just transporting them. The owners of the goods are also by now creditors of the bankrupt company (for late fees if nothing else). That's why it's a snarl.

That's dependent on how often you ship. Take your example of a load-based outage. In many applications there is a time-based peak (eg 11am-2pm daily for Facebook, or right before a concert sale opens for Ticketmaster) where load might

Fair question: It's less about why someone "deserves a job" and more about human rights. We are all human beings who deserve equal treatment under the law, including consideration for employment. Older people breathe air and

Google likes to use software to eat the world. But sometimes their software-only approach just ends up slobbering all over it. The point of Uber isn't the "sharing" of a ride, but the availability and predictability of gettin

There's a breed called Cornish Hen or poussin, usually 2.5 to 3 pounds. You might have to search at a fancier store, or like I do at a Mexican butcher, but they are easy to cook and delicious.
