Stolen has a very specific meaning, it involves taking something from someone else, denying them the ability to use it. If the person still has the thing, you've not stolen it. I think 'copied' is the right word here. They ha

On your second point, you are basically saying 'more profit' is the reason that farmers are choosing them. I personally am not interested in farmer profit when choosing what to eat.

So that you can cope with someone messing up a deployment and wanting to roll it back? Let's say you avoid column restrictions in your db design, and you deploy some dodgy code that doesn't fill in a column correctly, now you&#x27

I worked for a european investment bank for a number of years, and they had a policy that every year, every employee (without exception) was required to take 2 weeks holiday as a contiguous block, and during that time, their access to the c

Cheap quartz watches have been waterproof since whenever, and all have replaceable batteries. Why is an apple watch any different?

My wife writes choral music with Sibelius. One of the problems she has is versioning, and it's pretty obvious that something like LilyPond + source control would be a massive benefit to her for managing the creative process, as pieces

Why wasn't .net considered? The whole article is very weird, and there is little to learn from it. Wind on till they've actually made the port, and have run it for some time and then there will be some interesting lessons learnt,

I would be very surprised if there was any encryption, but I don't know how the tech worked, other than it was all 'dark fibre', that is, purchased links between sites without any offered services. The EMC drive arrays were e

I was building and speccing servers to run banking applications in the mid to late 90s and this was in the days when x86 was still rubbish (or perceived to be so), so it was big Solaris boxes (E10k etc) and beefy HP PA-RISC machines. Applic

Well i'm now working in a hard realtime domain (audio, noone dies when it goes wrong, but it's still hard realtime) and i've still got exceptions turned on. But no exceptions are thrown during runtime, they're there fo

Exceptions have always supposed to be used rarely - that's the point! The most obvious example is 'new' failing and returning std::bad_alloc. Given that new is implicit all over the place (pushing to a vector for example) the

I've worked in low latency trading, and with large distributed back testing setups with hundreds of high core count machines, and not once felt the need to disable exceptions, or for that matter, felt the impact of them happening. A fa

I've got to say, I have fond memories of writing software in Ada - I was involved in writing an air traffic control system in the mid 90s in Ada. The language didn't get in the way for that sort of application - we had proper spec

We'll need to know how quickly it can be charged, how many charge cycles it takes, how it drains when not in use, etc etc, but you are right, it's a promising start, one to watch to see where it ends up.

The older iLO2 and 3 were from the Gen7/8 HP rack mount servers, which were released around 2013 or something like that. I'd have thought that the majority of commercial uses have long passed, so I was wondering if these generatio

This is just defining the edge of the pattern they are discussion. They are saying 'if you see this pattern with any surrounding cells at any point T, then the given cells must also match at time T-1'. If you look at the pattern,

But spreads aren't larger in the morning are they? If anything they are smaller, due to the action of the opening auction. Without actual data to back up that assertion, the rest of it doesn't really need reading. Assuming his ass

Absolutely. Breaking changes, major version update, bug fixes, minor version update, and think really hard about the pain the major version update will cause. It seems so easy... The problem comes when applications depend on a bug. The libr

It's a great technical achievement, but i'm not sure I appreciate it any more by looking at these sorts of close up details. The overall composition, colours, use of light etc is where the beauty is for me, not the close up detail

The best advice i've ever had for this is to just turn it around, and imagine you are hiring someone to build stuff for you - how would you want an ideal candidate to behave? Now work hard at making yourself that ideal candidate. The s

It'll be interesting to see how electrification of transport changes this. Here in Europe we're phasing out ICE at quite a rate and the proposed euro 7 standards are so strict that it will also alter what the car fleet looks like.

I'd suggest you dig out and read a copy of James Lovelock's Gaia Hypothesis. It's obviously all new age whackery, but the more you read about it the more sense you'll see in it. Definitely worth tracking down.
