A parent can reasonably ensure that their child doesn't have a phone. Ensuring that they don't have access to a phone is much more difficult. I suppose that you can insist that your children only socialize with other children unde

As an OpenBSD noob I prefer not to until I get a good feel for how much will end up in them across a few sysupgrades.

In my experience the situation with GitHub is either that - you apply the commits as-is on the target branch and end up with a ton of pointless "fix this" and "fix that" commits that were created during the review proces

In Gerrit, I would say that the equivalent of the epic is the topic, stacks are the stories and commits are the tasks. It certainly puts pressure on the scope and quality of commits, but I think that's only undue for a short-lived proj

I've been considering https://openbsd.amsterdam/ as it seems like a nice way to donate to the project as well. For now I am using a lowest tier Hetzner instance. That gives more RAM but less disk space (which is pretty

The point is that we aren't "giving away" manufacturing to China. We've already given the choice of where to manufacture to the free market, which then turns a profit by buying their manufacturing services from China. I

We leave a large part of the question of where things should be manufactured to the market. If the market decides that the place is China it's probably because they think it's individually beneficial to them, not an act of charity

You have successfully convinced me that I should not take you seriously.

It's not the only aggrandizing element of the blurb. The whole thing is baseless prediction presented as though it's hard truth, which is either deliberately dishonest or unconcerned with whether it's honest. If it's tas

It serves to aggrandize whatever softer basis might actually exist for the conclusion. Whether that's deliberate or the result of thoughtless use of useless platitudes, it's done with a disregard for honesty.

Having visible door handles is a safety feature. Having clear turn indicators with a distinct color is a safety feature. You have simply not examined what the fence is there for.

You shouldn't drive blindfolded, but have you given any thought to where your eyes should be pointed while driving?

The whole thing would be a good example of dismantling Chesterton's fence, if the advantages of the traditional design of these things weren't obvious.

If there is a portion of the frame where the cycle stealing doesn't occur, e.g. during vertical blanking, maybe you can schedule your multiplications to only happen there. It will not strictly be constant time of course, and it will be

It's impossible for me to determine whether it looks like a skull now because my mind was contaminated with the notion that it's a skull before I had a chance to look.

This can be useful for some geometry, but pi isn't a completely arbitrary choice and some useful relationships are lost when not using radians. I use different angle units depending on the application. On a platform with 8-bit index re

There are menus on these watches, though. On the F91w the menu button flips through different setting modes which affect the function of the other buttons.

What someone "is entitled to" is of course also largely a political phenomenon, a social construct. Just like the idea of what someone deserves it supposes a principle according to which that can be said. For example, ideas of w

I don't think patent law should be concerned with what inventors "deserve" in some moral sense. I think their purpose should be socially practical. The socially practical effect of working patent law is that it incentivizes i

Anti-developer is anti-consumer because it creates a barrier to entry as a supplier in a market where consumers create the demand, but I suppose the main thesis behind calling it anti-consumer is that competition among suppliers is generall
