I thought the drug laws in question were, or rather had to be, enacted at the state level. Why does the issue seem to be most pronounced in Portland but not as significant in the rest of Oregon? What would be different if the experiment was

I generally don't hear too many complaints about GIT in the Windows/.NET development world, probably because there are good UI front ends and there's not as much 'tough guy' cred from sticking to the CLI. Visual Stu

You see issues with stack allocated variables in a function? There should be negligible cost to that. The recent introduction of Span (or Memory for heap) has met most of my needs for fighting the GC and pseudo pointers without being '

Blame C/C++ for the switch complaint. C#'s design was to avoid a lot of those nasty pitfalls by making you be explicit about your intent. You don't have to use a break, but you do have to explicitly exit out of the switch, so

Not really much different from today: sure, you can 'learn' a new language in a few days, but you won't know the build tooling, deployment strategies, environment specifics, convention over config, and typical patterns/p

'Most' is a stretch here. The majority of the populous states have restrictions on gun transfers, usually requiring a Federally licensed individual to facilitate the transfer with a Federal background check.

The compressor is the only component that generates a substantial amount of heat. That's really it's purpose: trading a pressure increase in the refigerant for a rise in temp. The compressor is usually in the outdoor unit, because

I agree with the underlying point being made here: a separate API (REST/JSON) that serves data should be kept separate from the endpoints that serve an application, in this case, HTML-based. It seems like building your application arou

Ignoring holidays/weekends: always 9:30AM or (0930) EST. Same with EDT: 9:30AM. The key here is that the timezone info includes the daylight/standard designation. Or, in the ISO format -4:00 or -5:00 from UTC. I think you meant to

Exactly. Far before high-level software engineering is perfected by machines, a revolution will have already come for the vast majority of white-collar work. This includes all creative work as well, since software engineering has a large co

The problem with pedantry over the actual crypto algorithms is that it almost never covers serious flaws in protecting the key material. This list only dedicates a few sentences that recommend clearing the memory used for keys/secrets,

My problem with barrel jacks (besides the myriad diameters) is that there's also different lengths and tip shapes, like how the insulated part of the center fits. I used the wrong tip (non original) for a network switch, and even thoug

The tight integration with ESPHome is what tips the scale to the positive side for me. Quite often I feel frustrated dealing with dozens of lines of YAML in HA's convoluted DSL and wish I could drop to a real programming language. Howe

Yep. The end game of this is that web applications will, either through laziness or a sense of 'better security', only accept passkeys attested by Google/Apple/MS and/or those backed by TPM with non-exportable keys.

Which is why I always tune out when Laplace's demon is brought up. Granting such an obviously impossible premise means all kinds of insane/wrong conclusions can pop out the other end.

The only way package feed complexity works -- and really microservices in general -- is to be absolutely fastidious about backwards compatibility of your packages and as open as possible with transitive dependency versions. Nuget does provi

Someone on the brink of retirement would not be 100% stocks, ideally more like 60% at most. Both of those cases were about a 50% drop peak to trough, so the loss was around 30% on paper. In the '08 case, the market recovered in about 4

I don't care about YT and would happily use anything else. However, I do care about the content placed there exclusively. Much of that older video may not be available elsewhere, and it was probably uploaded at the time under the assum

I think this may be referring to DVRs of the early 2000s. They used basic logic to look for a blip (dropout) in the video signal that usually happened when a commercial break was inserted. It worked surprisingly well. The parallels here are

Sounds like how DVRs worked on cable TV back in the day. Some were even sophisticated enough to use the typical video cutout before commercials to auto skip them on playback. Now, of course, we have community efforts like SponserBlock that

Do hobbyists typically need more ADC than what the ESP32 provides? Granted, it's limited to essentially one 12bit split on 8 channels, but with well calibrated dividers, that probably meets many needs. I think the ESPs are really the

Insulating glass better doesn't usually involve making the glass thicker; glass is a reasonably good heat conductor. It usually involves more, thinner sheets of glass stacked with air gaps between them. Argon is often used instead of a

Not to diminish the work on the browser extensions, but the majority of the value is in the filter lists. In the cat and mouse game, these lists need to be constantly updated and pruned, while also ensuring the false positives are minimally

The other option, which was the one traditionally used, is strong social pressure favoring marriage and stigmas against divorce. We can recognize that it's an unfortunate reality that will occur, while still not normalizing or glorifyi

The problem is, the whole mess becomes so abstracted away from the real goal: shipping software to customers and making money. Government can get away with it, because they're the only game in town, but a company doesn't have the

I've argued to management that it's no less than 50% of the time it took to develop. If you're actually reviewing functionality, you need to understand the original ticket, and at least loosely architect it in your mind. Anyt

Large orgs almost become like a bloated government in that way: groups start to construct little fiefdoms with rules and policies that are ostensibly constructed to improve quality. However, those rules end up becoming bludgeoning tools use
