Some of that may be due to redundant devices. You're waiting for at least 2 devices to return a reading, and probably a third thing that handles reconciling the results. The speed of this thing doesn't seem particularly vital eit

I empathize with the desire, but I don't think there's a good way to do that. Rental properties are investment vehicles, and their pricing is influenced by that risk. You can harm the landlords short-term, but rents are likely g

There are other options. They could take surface roads instead of highways. Or they could potentially use the emergency lane if there's some kind of communication standard to let them know when to get out of the emergency lane.

Probably yes. It's the same issue as class-action suits. If they want $200 for a scratch in the paint that I don't think is my fault, I can either just pay them, or I can hire a lawyer to bicker about $200. It's not worth

It depends on your definition of "fuck people over". The insurance plan for healthy, fit, young people would likely be cheap. However, they were subsidizing older and/or less fit people. The rates for the "not young,

It makes some attacks a lot easier. You usually need admin access to install a rootkit so your virus can re-install itself. You also get full control over the network stack, which makes it trivial to MitM traffic. Admin access will let y

I don't even know if that's possible. 3 miles is a long way, and bodies are squishy and... easy to separate, relative to a rock or bullet. The speed you would need to get that far might be high enough for the force to tear off li

I think the reasoning is that people who need affordable housing are unlikely to be able to afford a car and the parking for it, so they have to live near public transportation. If the people in the affordable units can't afford car

Many systems still have both Python 2 and Python 3 installed. Also, in the standard case, the version of Python is controlled by the user, not by your app. Bundling it with the app lets you make sure that it's running Python 3.8, for

I believe that if you use MUSL for libc, you can statically link libc into the binary. That should make the standard library all statically linkable, I'm not aware of any other C dependencies (although I could very well be wrong).

I believe they're discussing commutation and idempotency in the sense of types, rather than the sense of values. Inheritance allows you to override properties/attributes. If you inherit from 2 classes that both specify the same a

I might be odd here, but my intro to Python was with turtle graphics and I despised it. My spatial sense is rather poor, and having to translate between code and Cartesian coordinates and vice versa was a heavy mental overhead. for

It should be, but I don't think it currently is. Maybe an expert will chime in, but my understanding is that Medicare/aid have to pay out if the treatment is "reasonable and necessary". Whether cost/benefit can be

They're completely different taxes that are taxing money used for the same purpose. To put it another way, for the very wealthy, capital gains is their "income" (in a colloquial sense). They gain a tax advantage by making t

That depends on where you draw the line of "innovation". Is it an innovation when it's created, or when it changes the status quo? I would consider an approachable wrapper over a difficult tool to be innovative. Programming

The CFAA requires you to have effective security measures, or something of the sort. I'm dubious a User-Agent filter qualifies, especially so if it's only filtering for the largest browser by market share. Fwiw, from my readings

There are places where it makes sense. I don't love Kubernetes' YAML, but it makes sense as a serialization format. I think LISP would be out of place here firstly because your serialization format really shouldn't be execu

Machines that can't run Matrix is a pretty small subset. There's a Matrix plugin for Weechat, so you should be able to connect from anything with roughly the power of a Raspberry Pi. Probably slightly less than that; but yeah, y

Not really, it effectively adds a kernel to your app so your app is the OS. Like if you were booting from Grub, you would point Grub at your app binary directly. You don't boot into Linux and start your app, your app is the OS. Iirc th

I heavily disagree. Drawing districts is inherently political; it has real impact on the outcome of elections. Censuses should be inherently apolitical; they are a reflection of the state of the nation. Combining the two means that either d
