That's 95% of the work of a project manager. That was at least, until some charlatans realized that you can make big bucks persuading people that not doing your job is a great way of doing your job.

The message of the Wild Duck is sort of unpopular. If we could somehow stage the play on HN, it'd probably get massively downvoted :-)

My impression is that a Doll's House and Ghosts are much better known in the English speaking world. Enemy of the People too--probably because of the punchy title.

Have you read or seen the Wild Duck? I think it's much superior to Ibsen's better known plays.

Actually, I had a hell of time clearing a paper jam just the other day. Had to completely rip apart the duplexer. First malfunction in years. Definitely one of my better tech investment. Colors are better than I expected. Output is so much

I have one as well. It's great but the downside is the enormous size. Thing weights a ton as well. I almost broke my back carrying it up the stairs.

It works pretty well. I use NOTIFY in triggers and have various Node.js processes listen for changes. It's a lot easier to leverage the feature when you use plv8.

A differential backup file would be my guess.

If you want your car to remain in pristine condition, keep it in your garage. Don't park it in a public space. In a shared space undesirable things happen. Just because you object to something doesn't make it a crime. Guilty mind

Nonsense. Trespass is deliberate interference with another person's property right. Does a hand print or chalk mark prevent someone from making use of his car? The answer is obviously no.

That's the heart of the matter, isn't it? How can chalking be a search when the fact that the car is parked there is in plain sight? If we regard "search" as a synonym of "google", then yes, we can say that the

Your car is parked in a public space. A dog could walk by and mark it. No wanting something to happen is quite different from having a reasonable expectation it won't happen. Kyllo was decided by a narrow 5-4. That case was by far stro

I suspect that this decision will get overturned. People don't have privacy expectations concerning the appearance of tires of their cars. Any member of the general public can come by and chalk your car. No specialized equipment is req

As I recall, most of my engineer professors used transparencies and overhead projectors.

Budget airlines in Europe often fly to airports in the middle of nowhere. So yeah, they might be more recently built.

By "most European capitals", I presume you're excluding Paris :-)

And it'd probably cost a billion dollars. Government contracting is way more corrupted than the shenanigans alleged by this article.

I don't know why people keep insisting on using generic words as identifiers when doing so makes it much harder to find something. If I enter "fwrite" into Google, the correct documentation pops right up. I can easily find al

You're assuming an app that scales linearly with hardware. That's very hard to engineer. That's in fact the problem we're trying to solve: The hardware's there but the app can't make use of it due to some conte

The only meaningful distinction is between mainland Chinese vs Hong Kongers/Taiwanese/Chinese Diaspora. There's no ignoring the damage done by the Cultural Revolution. The old honor code that used to govern social relations j

That's roughly like putting [OK] and [Cancel] into a dialog box that asks "Do you want to save this document?". Perfectly understandable but awkward, somewhat confusing to non-tech people--in a word, unfluent. Answering such

It won't help much with Chinese localization, where the persistent problem is that developers assume every language has the words "yes" and "no".

You're right. I forgot about the teens. I don't know about Czech, but in Polish the nominative plural isn't used for numbers higher than 100. "1024 bajtów" and not "1024 bajty". If I remember the rules cor

A filler vowel is needed with certain consonant clusters. 100 is "stu" and "st" requires it, whereas "dwustu" (200), "trzystu" (300), "czterystu" (400) don't. I don't remember the

The rules for cardinal numbers in Slavic languages are quite complex. "few" is not just 2, 3, 4, but any number less than 100 ending in 2, 3, 4. You have to use a function to handle the situation. "few" is basically the

I imagine if I were to fail to reproduce my handwriting on demand, the test result would be deemed fraudulent.
