Personally, I found the promise of XR's delayed-duration to be massively overstated. I like the IR's better, because you can figure out when to re-dose through experimentation (which my doc encouraged.) I was also motivated to cha

That's why 'the DMV (groan)' is the meme it is in the US: it's one of the few interactions most upper-middle class individuals have with government services. I've had other interactions with state/local governm

That exact trick is used for broader stats about 'gun violence'. More than half of the deaths counted as 'gun violence' are suicides, not murders. Counting suicides as gun violence is convenient for a narrative, because

How do you get that to work? I've tried changing the settings to open new terminal windows using a different identity (runas), but they are then separate from the terminal app. I basically would just like to be able to dock that new wi

Though I've been enjoying WT, there are some limitations that have bit me: 1) As a 'Store' app, it can be a pain to install in locked-down corpo networks that block Windows Store. Winget can be a workaround, or you can extrac

The thing I never understood about this argument is that it seems to imply that working from the office makes one immune to the same outsourcing. Maybe it was kickstarted by the pandemic or maybe videoconference/remote tools finally hi

The GDPR's cookie consent requirement is one of the dumbest, most annoying things to happen to the web since its inception. Nothing like out-of-touch burecrats 'just trying to help' to make thing worse.

You can keep a razor sharp longer by submerging the blade in a little dish/shot glass of mineral oil after shaving. It slows the microscopic pitting and corrosion from air/moisture. As a bonus, mineral oil is a decent shave gel on

You are limited to the basic types (int, floating point, string, and blob), however. I can somewhat get behind the opinionated argument for not needing more specific types like most common language types, but not the lack of a date type.

Exactly. You will be dead long before your house collapses due to smoke inhalation from the burning items inside the house. For all the typical jokes about US construction, fire safety shouldn't be one of them. We use and mandate drywa

If it's tabular, I want schema for the columns. Is this column a 'number' or a string? Even better, is there a max length or precision known? Can the cell be null and how is that represented? How are dates formatted? Are they

Another way to look at that is that Medicare is vastly underpaying for services, as the system is currently run. Basically, private insurers subsidize Medicare/Medicaid, and many providers either refuse to accept Medicare (as allowed b

You can use a statment 'OPTION RECOMPILE' to force the query plan to be rebuilt with every execution. A similar thing can be done with stored procedures, which are also aggressively plan cached.

This is the second very similar report on HN where the end-goal was ApplePay. There must be something poorly done in their card linking/payment process that hackers are targetting. I don't use it, so I'm not familiar. Collect

Is it really that surprising, though? The training data is more like 'inspriation' for human artists. Certainly, there are cases in music where sampling or melodies are a little too close to the original and spark lawsuits, but la

It's pretty hard to compare some random free PHPBB running on a underspec'd host to companies with billions in revenue to support their platform. Honestly, reddit and HN are so simplistic, there's not much added by JavaScript

Perhaps the real bad guys are those same politicians, or others, that make the tax code so damn complicated that 50% or more of the population don't stand a chance of comprehending it. If you're W2, and you have kids or 1099s the

I would use .NET 6 (aka cross-platform .NET Core) for the backend, and I would do as much server-side rendering, simple forms, and the PRG pattern as I can. Minimal javascript, JS frameworks (maybe React) for highly-interactive pages. Stand

I didn't assume that, but I was pointing out that even for the smaller governments (who do pick up most of the tab), it's not a vast nor an unsustainable amount. If anything, the fact that the Federal gov isn't a big part of
