I. . .I am really glad I don't live in Michigan, I guess. Are there any other interesting ones? I can't seem to find the list. EDIT: Oh, never mind, I didn't realize they actually linked it in the article. Whoops.

Er, no, it seems anti-spam. The fact of the matter is, plenty of people use dime-a-dozen hosting to make spam bots. These days, you're better off using a reputable mail service as opposed to rolling your own, unless you have a fairly l

Er, Google has millions of users who have absolutely no problems. One (or even dozens) of bad stories is a tiny percentage of the interactions that take place on their services. It's _far_ more likely to be a mistake than anything unto

I mean, they have _millions_ of users that have never had a problem. It's far more likely this is a mistake than any kind of malicious act, just given the sheer number of customers they have.

I. . .What on earth? Why not ban chemistry textbooks? Learning about rapid oxidation reactions could be a threat to the order and security of the institution.

There are arbitrary, unambiguous, agreed upon standards of politeness. You don't curse people out. You don't sexually harass women (or men, for that matter). You don't show up for work late every day, smelling like a brewery.

I'm not even against the telling of jokes that are. . off-color. But they really don't belong where you might cause distress. If you think something is offensive enough to warrant looking around before saying it, maybe save it for

I don't think anyone would disagree that being respectful is a "professional" quality. "The staff was very professional." What imagery does that illicit? If you're like me, or just about anyone else I've e

My dad has been doing an hour and a half (each way) commute for the better part of the last decade. I ended up doing the same commute when I started a new job last week. I'm already dying to move into my new apartment. I don't kno

I love the detailed breakdown of how the front cover was made on page 4. That's so cool.

This really hit home. I was born too late to be involved with these magazines when they were in their "heyday". But I grew up in the early days of the Internet, and there have always been places on the Internet and the Web with co

The reason I bring it up is that the HoloLens is pretty limited. Given what I've seen it do with its limited power and the kind of computing power they're putting in Teslas, not to mention the extra sensors (RADAR), it seems more

I know that you were just doing a tl;dr and not necessarily trying to start a discussion about it, but wow, that seems kinda stupid to be coming out of someone who is ostensibly fairly intelligent. A 3D point cloud is great, but with the ra

Libraries are and have always been more than just about the books, and the information therein. They're also meeting places, community centers, and sometimes even double as soup kitchens. They are public forums. They are polling locati

The thing is, libraries are more than just a place to put books. As still other commenters have put it, they are community centers, shelters-in-place, and work spaces. The more personal overhead (like having to rent out a personal office if

I think he might just mean "the ability to work with other students in a specific place" rather than the app itself. I agree, Piazza is kinda. . .over-engineered.

You can tweak Go to make it as fast or faster, but, out of the box, the runtime is a bit slower. Building is faster, though, so that's nice.

This is kinda what I was alluding to. I don't think it's quite ready for primetime. That said, I wouldn't be against seeing it in, say, Fedora's bleeding edge repos.

Point 1: I take it you've never been on the receiving end of the "Oh, you use _Windoze_" comments. The fact that "M$ Windoze" exists as a meme is proof enough that there are enough people who show disdain for propri

Ubuntu and Debian are, believe it or not, rather selective. .NET Core isn't "stable" enough for them.

That's not exactly a scalable solution. You have to keep in mind that large companies often have thousands of requests they have to process every _second_. VT is great, but I doubt they'd be happy if they were getting DDoS'd

See, that's an enlightened way of looking at it. In the end, until Open Source gets as much funding as proprietary software, it's not going to have anywhere near the level of direct support that things like Windows get. Say what y
