Yeah, I think this is something that has to be solved by the tooling. It isn't reasonable to expect people to do a git blame and remember to email everyone whose code you want to change. That being said: I don't even expect peopl

Do you think their business model expired or do you think the products and services they provide are obsolete?

I'm no fan of Adobe, but to me this sounds like a completely legitimate business decision. Of course they are not going to pass on the savings to the user, except perhaps indirectly by having a way of easing the shareholder pressure to

I occasionally use the syntax used for code highlighting as a substitute. Sure, not the same thing, but still. https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/wor...

Markdown is popular because it implements just enough features to be useful while not presenting a high threshold for "just writing things down". It exists because traditionally, people who design markup languages have not done a

I've had the mount on a Nikkor 24-70mm break off while attached to a Nikon D4 due to an accident. The camera body was completely fine. Then again, the D4 has a skeleton underneath the plastic and rubber surface that looks like the sku

My anecdata (owned 8-9 dSLRs) suggests they're pretty robust. I haven't had a dSLR fail on me yet. The oldest camera I have is 21 years old (no longer used, but still works). The oldest cameras I still occasionally use are 12-13

Yes, there are people who make a living from playing. It doesn't mean it isn't healthy to take a step back every now and then and consider the ridiculousness of taking this too seriously. If only there was bread to accompany the

I agree. You have to focus on the company, not those who are NOT going to be a part of it. It might seem like a dick move, but it is far less of a dick move than not making an effort. I'm sure that there will be negative consequences.

Somewhat unrelated observation: I have never looked at SchyllaDB so I went to the web page. In the most prominent space they take a dump on the competition. Normally that would be a red flag for me, but in this case it made me curious. Now

This movie was posted on youtube. Then taken down. With SF Studios in Sweden claiming copyright. How is this? Did they somehow make a derivative work which they could then copyright?

That was a very well written issue.

If you have ever seen a fire department work: if there's ANY doubt, you do not get to enter the house.

As I pointed out in a different comment I have three strategies: - note-taking including writing down my own ideas - use audio books and trying to associate what I'm listening to with where I am (for me, exertion increases retention :-

by bborud 4y ago
It depends on what kind of book we're talking about. A lot of the fiction I read is just for entertainment then and there. Not retaining it isn't a big loss. In fact, it is probably just good for me to forget. I read between 10 a

That's good advice. I'm annoyed with myself for not starting to do that sooner.

Given the number of upvotes I think you may have been a bit quick to pull the trigger. It seems enough people appreciated this that it probably shouldn't be flagged.

I got this wakeup-call somewhat indirectly. I was looking at what books I want to read in the coming year (a constant struggle :-)) and I realized that at my current rate of ~80 books per year, and perhaps 30-40 years left to live, I'

_I_ can't grok why _I_ haven't switched. :-) So this weekend I'll make an effort to switch from Chrome.

Another incentive to switch to Firefox.

Why not respect people one talks to enough to actually do homework rather than imply it is everyone else's responsibility to make up for someone else's laziness? Is it too much to ask that people mind their manners?

About a decade ago I started working in a company with about 30k employees (?) that had really stringent top-down mandates. You had to get a standard laptop, installed by our IT partner, with a 50Mb mail quota and all manner of seriously ou

No, this isn't a good comparison. A good comparison is following the orders of firefighters when your house is on fire. They'll have experience with fires. You won't. Their judgements in a situation *where nobody has all

The error handling was a disappointment at first, but in practice it is a lot clearer and more usable than any other kinds of error handling I've tried. It could perhaps do with some syntactic sugar, but it isn't a big issue since

No, he's actually right. When you are in a situation that requires action the last thing you want is for everyone to stop, have a cigarette and debate the issue while nothing gets done. You can't wait around for a consensus to f

Again, do your homework. You obviously have no idea what you are talking about.

I think you under-estimate the amount of power you have if something is really important.

You didn't read immigration statistics. Do your homework, then come back.
