It wasn't my job to tell anyone (although he found out and simply got other jobs for them to do). I wasn't even a dev back then but a journalist that took an interest in anything that involved computers.

Since everyone is trading stories, here is mine: I once worked in a newspaper at the start of desktop publishing (DTP) and Word. They received the news from Reuters (as an example) in some strange format and had two people employed specific

I suspect that the main issue with rewrites is that the users or product managers see it as an oportunity to add new features or redo old ones extensively. In the end the scope of the rewrite is no longer a rewrite but a new product that is

Yes, until you learn that the average rental in Lisbon is over 900 Euros per month.

I understand where you are coming from but there are some pearls in there such as this one about the Beslan tragedy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0knAQL9WtM

This should be the link at the top. The BBC article doesn't even have a picture of the remnants of the stakes!

I am not sure. I have a sister who used to do that and she wasn't overweight neither had any obvious eating disorder. Maybe it was because she was an athlete? I know other people with obvious weight problems that wake up in the middle

Maybe it depends, my experience was in the South of Portugal where you get a subsidy to plant olive trees (as an example). They get the big terraforming machines out and basically destroy complete hillsides and then plant the trees protecte

Maybe for car paint that is correct. I am more into wood work and it is readily available at the regular paint store.

I had mild minor liver damage due to an illness when I was a teen and my doctor told me not to drink alcohol for year (which I didn't). Forty years later I still cannot drink alcohol beyond a small taste or I get headaches and nausea.

That is true in theory but in many places the trees are planted and let to fend for themselves in the hope that a nearby weather or man-made event (such as a flood or fire) can be blamed on their demise. I have seen this happen several time

I had a similar setup running for two years day and night in the South of Portugal (also very sunny) without any issues. I used two very old 120W solar panels, a Victron charge controller and a 60Ah deep cycle battery running a 4G Modem&#x2

I can't find the reference right now but the evidence can be gathered from hospital records. There is a progression in cases and some particularities that can be studied to establish the origin of a disease.

This is a very simplistic view as the source code alone may not be enough to build/fix most complex closed source application. You have IDEs that may be costly and expensive components that you cannot release the development builds, et

What alcohol did you use? The instructions I find talk about denaturated alcohol which, at least here in Portugal, has a blue tint (smells like alcohol but is poisonous).

Some current gliders already have a propulsion system for fine adjustments that is also used for manouvering in port. I believe they would be too slow for any practical use in the merchant navy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

I need to do some renovation but contractors keep saying that aluminum's price went up by 70%, steel by 80%, etc. So it is not only lumber. I postponed everything until prices settle down.

I can't speak for Texas but I had a case of appendicitis in the family last year and the main reason for delays wasn't the number of people in the hospital but the new procedures in place. The hospital was nearly empty except for

And your chance of catching COVID from an unvaccinated person is, apparently (no real studies to prove or disprove yet that I know of) not very different from a vaccinated person.

Where I live (Portugal) there is an ICU/beds crisis every single year due to respiratory diseases such as flu, pneumonia, etc. It even makes the news with patients in lying in corridors and such. This year it wasn't different at a

Big trucks use odometers to enforce driver regulations and there is a whole semi-hidden market for tools and fixes that disable the odometers, even electronic ones. Menaing, they are easy to interfere with. I still agree with the other&#x27

The question is how would they know they are members of a racial group when it couldn't even identify them as part of the righ species? The answer is that these algorithms are not fit for serious classification and are not appropriate

I am not arguing with the method, I only think the language of the paper is misleading to the point that the parent commenter aparently thinks they actually analysed hundred of thousands of subjects when they just extrapolated their observa
