The point isn't the point. The reason a work was created is immaterial to copyright law. It would be like saying, I'm not consuming this media for enjoyment, but to learn how to create media, therefore it's ok that I'm

All native toolkits are better to work with for UI than HTML+DOM. To paraphrase: saying HTML+DOM is great because it works everywhere is like saying anal sex is the best because it works on everyone. Eventually, in any significantly compl

HTML and DOM are genuinely poor media for doing that though. A lot of web development is working around them. However, it’s the only common UI we have. It is defined outside the scope of any one platform. And if you want to serve HTML, you

It’s not a good location and the people who built it knew that. They were hoping to become a good location based on the draw of the attraction.

People talk about "the switch" as if every Democrat supported slavery and every Republican was an abolitionist. And that's not even close to the truth. The truth is that there were plenty of Democrats who were abolitionis

Rings of Power is ok. More flash than substance. And the dialog and writing is genuinely bad in places. In one episode you had two characters pull the "don't kill him, we may need him" trope on each other within a minute of e

Another data point to show why places like McDonalds never offered delivery in the first place. It's just not worth it. Something these "disruptors" just don't get. They either have to charge too much, pay too little, or

Ah. So it's a lot like editing compiled binaries. You can modify binaries all you want as long as you preserve the length of everything. Some piece of software we had authenticated against a server, but everything was done on the clien

Why would the information that Coca-Cola uses coca plants imply that they are a drug cartel? They base their business off of the same plant as the drug cartels. They operate independently, and Coca-Cola isn't really going to do anyth

It's a bit more apparent if we use Coke's Christian name, 'Coca-Cola', and take a second to break it down. Coca-Cola implies a cola made from coca. Which is pretty much what it is. Coca farming is kind of a big deal and

The answer, as always, is "sometimes". Sometimes duplication is cheaper than the wrong abstraction. And Sometimes it's better to abstract away a duplication rather than let it lie. And that's the mark of becoming a m

Canadianfella is correct. "Vig" is not the correct term. Vig, short for vigorish, is a yiddish/Slavic word used to describe the excessive interest on a loan from a lender of ill-repute. It's also used to describe the hou

First, you should let people know, that if they need anything, they can ask. Then, there are levels. If it's just on the edge of being colder than I'd like, I might not say anything because the effort isn't worth it. It'

Gates was also taking upper and graduate level courses as a freshman/sophomore. And technically, Gates is on an extended sabbatical from Harvard. He took leave to see if this software thing would pan out. If it fails, he still has Harv

Ultimately, yes, that's what I want to see. But "Garamond" in the blind tells me nothing about how that will make my text look. So if I can see it before rendering all of my text in it, that's not unwelcome.

To be fair, that's how they should be displayed. I don't select a font based on its name, I select it based on its look.

As to UPS. It is weird. Now, I mostly don't pay attention to which service I'm getting stuff from. Mostly because I don't have the option most of the time, I'm getting it from the service the seller is using. A while bac

I'm like 50/50 here. Listen to music, but not so loud as to be unaware of your surroundings. Washing a vehicle is about more than aesthetics. Dirt, salt, asphalt, etc, can damage the vehicle itself. Delivery vans also get a lot of

What data is there that it is? Why is not the initial claim a strong statement? And if the strong evidence supplied is the method to reproduce and no one can reproduce, then that should be evidence that their evidence is lacking and therefo

The other thing is that Josef K seems complicit in this process. At no point is he actively coerced into compliance. The system seems to not even care if he participates. I was constantly mentally screaming at the character, "Why the f

One of the things that makes cancer insidious is that it is essentially you. Most diseases are caused by some foreign agent. Some bacteria or virus that invades your body and shuts down or takes over some critical function. Cancer can be

Because the drivers can't be held accountable. Drivers can do all of that and restaurants can't fire them. Users can't just order from places that do better delivery. And drivers simply don't give a fuck. There's on

I live in a hot climate. I've had one fridge break on me in about 19 years. I've technically used 5 over that span, but I've also gone through 4 addresses in that time as well.

I've purchased two fridges in my life. I've had one fridge fail on me in my life. The compressor (I think) failed and no longer cooled the fridge. The difference in replacing the compressor or getting a new fridge was negligible.
