IMO this case is a good example of one that ought to void qualified immunity as it currently stands, though I know in practice it's more difficult. I think it's plain that a "clearly established" constitutional right was

I at least partly disagree, speaking from my perspective as a small-time city council member. I agree that ideally taxpayers shouldn't pay money for this kind of misconduct. But in practice, misconduct must face consequences, those aff

I empathize with the frustrations with Linux, and I certainly used to have them. But about 5 years ago I just... stopped having any issues at all. I switched to Debian around then, which may or may not fully explain the improvement. Point i

I can't find anything more than hearsay about this, but I've now encountered the idea several times that Tesla chose or developed an unusual alloy to mitigate oilcanning, a phenomenon where large, flat pieces of sheet metal tend t

For small, transactional dealings where the amount of work is easy to predict, there may just be a fixed fee for that. For more open-ended work, it is often billed by the hour (time and expense). If the work is non-trivial, they may ask for

Notably, you've chosen 3 luxury ICE models, and luxury cars are another heavier-than-average group.

It's mostly just a misnomer. A 110 V device with a 5% tolerance, for example, would not work on nominal US circuits.

by chociej 3y ago
100-240V 50-60Hz switching supplies are common "worldwide" or "universal" adapters, definitely not an indication of service voltage standard here.

by chociej 3y ago
Sure, but the nominal value is still 120 V.
11.
by chociej 3y ago
Nobody's pointed it out yet, so I'll mention it: US voltage is 120 V (240 V phase to phase), not 110 V. And while 115 V is within service tolerances specified by ANSI C84.1 (114 V to 126 V), that's not the nominal value.

I can't say I agree. The answer to debilitating addiction isn't to make someone feel even worse about it (to the extent they don't already feel terrible). It's to provide meaningful support to get out of addiction and ba

Of course it hasn't reduced addiction. The quote from TFA explains it best: "If you take away the criminal-justice system as a pathway that gets people into treatment, you need to think about what is going to replace it." Tha

It also depends heavily on how you define "need". Calculus changed the way I view many, many concepts and phenomena. I think we present things like calculus as dryly as possible, and only to those blessed few who we perceive as ab

It's a shame that part-of-speech analysis tools aren't more widely available or widely used. That could at least reduce the damage done on "flat" -> "apartment", even when only considering entire words.

Infill development comes with its own challenges. A coordinated effort to increased density in a city would necessarily be disruptive to a lot of people's housing. That's not to say it shouldn't be done, but it complicates th

One approach I've heard of that specifically addresses short-term rentals is to limit the number or density of such units within a city or a particular district.

by chociej 3y ago
Yep, it would not be exceptional to see short-term rental regulations in zoning codes in the US. I'm guessing in some states you'd have legal challenges if you required owner occupancy or even perhaps establishment of residency or

by chociej 3y ago
Zoning actually addresses both construction and land use and often a lot of other things. Where I live, it would be absolutely routine to see something like short-term rental restrictions in the zoning code. By the book, "Zoning is a l

I use it to plan meals and make grocery lists each week. It's very good at that task, and it saves me a lot of monotony.

I gather I'm the weirdo here, but I really _don't_ want a ducted heat pump, even though my conventionally-built 1950s home is currently full of ductwork for the two forced-air furnaces. I daydream frequently about tearing out all

I feel that the writing style reinforced the well-thought-out consistency of the system. The information of value was all right there, so I didn't feel worried about getting a bill.

Seems the distinction wouldn't improve OP's outlook besides.

IMO push is quite coherent since it consistently updates remote refs. The variation in checkout is pretty bad though.

It's reasonable to want a series of commits (or patches) to be pulled together, assuming they are well-organized commits.
27.
by chociej 4y ago
I don't think either of those is necessarily true. I don't ever need to merge long lived branches if I don't want to. And I definitely don't ever merge my production branches with... anything. They are always just a fast

Well of course it's as good as a rebase -- it is a rebase.

If having a nice history isn't important, and if PRs are a better unit than commits, why squash?
