But because it is .Net you have all sorts of libraries which bring you type safety if you want it. Things like T4MVC and Typelite combined with Entity Framework give me compile time impacts of impacts anywhere in my stack from the DB downwa

So the question should come down to the admissibility of evidence gathered from access to a device. Rather than "search this device" it becomes "search this device's photos" where if the authorities then dug through

This concept is will known in the military as BLUF - bottom line up front. Not an abstract or introduction, putting the key recommendation or outcome at the beginning. It falls in and out of fashion but as with newspapers it helps you work

The SKU cost is worth exploring the context that Tesco is facing massive pressure from the lower end of the market in Lidl and Aldi. Separately it also allows for better bargaining power with the suppliers, fewer brands on the shelves = Tes

It's also ironic because the translation of the bible into people's native tongues from the Vulgate Latin bible was a major part of the Protestant movement in that it exposed a lot of issues in the Vulgate version which enabled th

Just like medical devices or military hardware don't cost X to manufacture the cost is in the degree of certification required. Your MVP might look like it does all the same stuff but it is about proving things like mean time between f

Nice to see you read my entire post which does very much reference point 2. The whole "they knew in advance" thing is getting into massive conspiracy theory territory where a shedload of relatively junior people know a massive sec

Well Osama was making and releasing tapes, referencing current events, up until 2011 after which AQ acknowledged his death. Which lends credibility to a) his being alive up until 2011 and b) that he died then. You'd need to come up wit

1. If Pakistan is paranoid about India then it will have concentrated its air defences facing India, not Afghanistan. The USA also has the resources to know the location of Pakistani radar sites and thus plan routes to avoid them. 1&2.

They do have full control - see the bit about being able to disable/enable via recovery mode. I for one am very happy to have moved on from an era where desktop security was abysmal and compromises lurked around every corner.

I never found the planning period at all restful or recuperative. One of the reasons I'm falling out of love with Scrum is the relentless pressure of sprinting.

Indeed as the article notes being called a "Ludo player" is an insult when playing Uckers. This game is an awful lot more about frustrating your opponent, which is what makes it fun in a mess. A good Uckers game is a spectator spo

I can assure you it is still common at sea - but then Royal have been rather focused on hot and sandy places for a decade. Essentially one of the coffee tables in a mess will be set up as an Uckers board. On older ships it will have the nam

One of the problems is briefly touched on in the article - human ingenuity finding new ways of waging war. From the Japanese Kamikaze to more modern forms of "hybrid warfare" currently being waged by Russia in Ukraine. Western lea

I'm also a major fan of two way binding, but I agree with the problem the article raises re dirty checking. I much prefer Knockout because for the price of writing observable(value) rather than field = value I don't have to worry

Whilst you are correct, and every conflict has blue on blue engagements, the US military have a very bad reputation for being bloody dangerous to their allies. Mission videos that do emerge of incidents where US aircraft, helicopters and dr

While NATO offered to activate the submarine rescue system to assist. Most militaries respect their opponents, and all sailors respect the sea. It's when that is lacking that you start to see abuses more likely to occur - WW2 Japan in

But you're also a country with mostly "at will" employment laws - any one of those employees can quit with no notice. If you can't cope for a week without any of those individuals then you have some serious business risk

Seriously, someone on HN equating SAAS to extortion... Much like the OP talking of not being able to do development if your employer fails to approve the payment in time. Resharper is nice and all but you can actually write C# without it. (

The difference is that a basic income is supposed to persuade non retirement age people to continue to work, hence "basic". A state pension is supposed to be enough to enable every retired citizen to be able to live without workin
