In fact, this is the premise of the film "You've Got Mail".

The popularity of a project doesn't change it from "toy" or "personal" to "primary focus of developer's time". The developer might still only have so much time to spend on the project.

While that might have made the community feel a little better, I don't think the maintainer had to do anything, certainly they don't have to explain why they made this or that decision. People should decide if it's a big deal

I disagree that application developers for iOS have the option of selling their products on their own. No matter how much money a developer invests in their own e-commerce operation they still have no legal method for getting their applicat

The article in the Washington Post hinted that NASA might not require them to pass this particular test (automated approach to the ISS and docking). "It was unclear whether NASA would require Boeing to fly another test mission without

I can't remember these people's names and I am definitely trying. Even worse is when I confidently use the wrong name when I'm talking to one of these parents. Conversation immediately ceases, it's so awkward that I most

TLDR: We are just as awesome and virtuous today as we were 21 years ago. Such self congratulatory nonsense.

I see that BorgBackup is available in Chocolatey[0] and it looks like the current version. It's not clear to me if this is an official port or not, but I am interested. :-) [0]: https://chocolatey.org/packages/borg

I've been using Borg for a couple of years now (and before that, Attic[0]) and I have been very happy with it. It's seen me through three laptops and it has been reliable and easy-to-use. [0]: https://attic-backup.org&#

I suspect Slack is aiming for the customers they would like to have in the future at the expense of the customers they actually have right now.

Eventually the published price will be close to the amount you are being charged. I would expect health care providers to stick with their promise to post the highest possible cost but as people being to use these prices to shop around (bot

I believe these actions are egregious enough that they do warrant taking some action, a conversation at minimum. That being said, in my own experience there is a near constant undercurrent of political sentiment that I simply avoid because

In my opinion, that was outside the bounds of the study; Cantlon was being asked to speculate. That said, sexism is the mechanism and it's a pretty big part of our society; there are lots of studies on this already. So much so that som

If you are coming from the point of view that males are better at math then females, then the next thing to wonder is "why"? This study attempted to find some factual backing for the most popular explanation: that there is a biolo

The boomers also have a pretty strong sense of entitlement. Some would argue that millennial are entitled to feel "entitled".

Slightly more expensive to the energy companies, cheaper for the countries the pipeline travels through and the people who live there. I'm not seeing a downside.

Pipelines that don't spill boatloads of oil? I remember many complaints that the pipeline was shoddily built and was using sub-standard materials. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesconca/2013/08/25&#

The next time they roll out a new pipeline, we might see few or no protesters at all. States have passed (or are working to pass) laws that make protesting pipelines like this a felony. https://www.theguardian.com/environmen

I'm pretty sure they are using the binaries provided by Google. I don't think they can compile for another platform, like PPC. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-drm

I think Google's Widevine (which is used for a lot of these DRM'd streams) is only available for Chrome. I think we'd need Google to provide a Chrome for PPC binary, which would require them to bundle a WideVine for PPC binar

The Cocoa text input widget supports these keybindings and is used in many applications. Linux does not have one single input widget that is as popular (Gnome apps use a GTK text widget, KDE apps use a Qt text widget, etc.) On Linux, you wo

Even if they were prone to "crying wolf", I think it still would need follow up. I have customers that often complain about "bugs" that turn out to be as yet unimplemented features but I still have to track down the issu

While this is true and it's difficult to open a new hospital in the US, it strikes me as unlikely that this could be blamed for the high cost of care. In fact, US hospitals have been merging and this seems to be a trend that is continu

I'm not entirely sure that this paper supports your theory. While they do establish that the risks for this subset of premature babies is higher in Canada than in the US, they do not attribute this to a better level of care from US hos

I do not believe that this is accurate, in my opinion this assertion requires some documentation. I looked up the survival rate of premature babies and the neonatal mortality rate (28 days after birth) is higher in the US than in Canada.[0]

Couldn't Adobe take this to court? I thought executive orders were subject to the same judicial process as legislation. It's seems to me the smart move would be to exhaust legal avenues before shafting legitimate customers.

I think it would be entirely reasonable to have communications between a person and their bank end-to-end encrypted (isn't that the goal of SSL?) as well as communications between a person and a vendor or a vendor and their bank. Would

I believe the federal government's concern (and those of various law enforcement agencies, etc.) is not with E2EE in general but with their desire for a specific (and, in my opinion, deeply flawed) implementation where they have an abi

In my opinion, I still use straight Git even though we have a GitLab server. We only do pull requests through GitLab when we have a new hire or a contractor. I don't believe that using GitLab to manage the remote repositories has impac

I agree with brundolf, these are tools and most people can get a handle on how they work in an afternoon or two. We aren't talking about expecting new hires set this infrastructure up from scratch, just use the tools that are already i
