I stayed at a hotel in Italy a few years ago, and the radio alarm next to the bed _still_ had the 30 pin connector. No doubt that there are probably a ton of people still annoyed at Apple.

They did say major, not all engineering disasters. At university, we were required to take a computer scientists & the society course, which software development disasters and ethics were the main part of the course. The Therac-25 case

And the public as well. If I hire a lawyer, I have a signal that they probably have (at least) a rudimentary understanding of law, and are licensed to practice law. If I see a medical doctor, I know they have a degree and are licensed to pr

A business can title a person as an engineer with limited complaints, a person cannot market themselves as an engineer. Here in Texas, we had a licensure board for Software Engineering for a minute, though it was eventually killed by our Su

These have more passive controls that don't require active management, and can go a few days with almost no pumps or anything running. They also have some improvements that avoid Fukushima-like events, with a core catcher that can catc

There's also something I appreciate about slowing down and considering each shot individually, since you only can take a finite amount of shots, vs the thousands I can fit on an SD card. Yeah, I can't do astrophotography very well

Yep. You want to pull guns out of the population that people don't care about enough to where they're willing to trade them for a cheap gift card. The people who'd actually participate in this program likely do not covet the

Worth adding some context to this study. We've known about subsidence in our area for many many years. The Houston-Galveston subsidence district was created almost 50 years ago by the Texas legislature to regulate groundwater withdrawa

A couple things: 1.) I realized that drinking was a symptom of bigger issues in my life, and I was self medicating. Resolving those issues wound up with me giving up my excessive drinking with almost no effort. 2.) When I do recreationally

Yeah, but defense in depth. No protection is fool proof, even an air-gapped machine.

Good article, I also would advise running in HyperV or its 3rd party equivalent, having to re-OS is lame, and using your main OS leaves you open to UEFI attacks.

BIG NUMBER implies a dedication to the care and feeding. It’s a nudge and a wink for “come work for us” Number of users advertisement is more for investors, and maybe a broadcast for FOMO. There is, however, a tendency in our field to look

There was (is?) lot of drama between Zed Shaw and Rails. I don't even know if I could do it justice. Ruby had some... problems early on, and Zed can be... abrasive, especially in his persona he used to write his "Rails is a Ghetto

Linus used to post to Google+, so a lot of the original posts are gone to the wind, however, he originally said that he'd bump major versions when the numbers get too big, i.e. he runs out of fingers and toes to count the minor version

You're watering down the definition of gatekeeping. God forbid someone add snark to an opinion on web homogenization. At least they credit it to looking nice at the end: > Honestly this template does look really nice, though.

Never. My kids enjoy coloring pages, I have legal docs that need signing and scanning, and my wife teaches at a local college. Printer is pretty busy.

Indeed, we use it professionally. If you can server boost to level 2, it's quite nice for screen sharing. In my opinion, it's also set up way better than slack for voice channels. Krisp is the icing on the cake.

From my experience, the stereotype is that they are very positive within their own community, very loud and negative towards anything not in the Church of Rust. Of course, this doesn’t fit most Rust programmers, most I’ve met are great peop
