You already need to go see a doctor and get a prescription for anything contraception related, and they can decide not to give it to you. This includes "the pill" as well as "the morning after pill". Also the recent ruli

I only found out recently that you need to go through a lengthy process back in the church where you were baptised in order to renounce yourself from the Catholic church here in Poland. Just being an atheist, not attending church, not belie

I guess that means good news for Australian wine producers, since they can move the inventory designated for China to the USA as there should be some more demand for it.

Which consoles would you have launched it on? You can't actually launch just for the PS4 Pro or the Xbox One X, you have to support all versions of the PS4 or the Xbox One. Also the game doesn't run natively on the current gen con

I remember an episode of Planet Money podcast where they went to the village where a secret agreement was signed by some farmers to divide up the communal land and farm it individually, so they could sell the surplus and make some profit. I

If your employer insists on installing and using a specific application on a phone, ask them for a phone to use it on. Don't feel the need to install it onto your personal device.

I've been thinking about this a bit recently, and the saying should be extended to "I've got nothing to hide, now." Things change and either you'll do something which you'll want to hide, or society/politi

Or you know just create a rainbow table of all the phone numbers in the world and match the hashes against that. Would probably be faster.

It's the same sort of person that gets offended by being compared to a children's cartoon and therefore has it and any mention of it banned from the entire country. So because this "Emperor" has seemingly lost "face

Sounds like what happened at Microsoft with the FYIV badges and such people had around back a few decades ago. Can't remember where I read it but the people that were fully vested weren't worried about being fired so they spoke th

Yeah, that's what I thought. This is a measure of "how well you're using Microsoft software" so that Microsoft itself can use it to market more software and services to you.

This is probably an unpopular opinion but I think that Windows has the correct filesystem behaviour here for the end user. Case preserving but case insensitive. Because realistically would normal people (not programmers) really want to have

The best benefit we've found for unit tests is in low level platform specific code and generic containers. Things of that nature which absolutely must work and can themselves be tested in isolation. I'm sure when we finish the pro

That kind of looks useful, would be nice if it handled Perforce and could be installed on private servers. Don't think the company would want to release all the code publicly.

Yep, lots of interaction tests that can be quite brittle and can take a long time to run, even with a farm of servers and consoles. A lot of small and low level stuff can be unit tested but during production things like writing good tests f

Yep, that happens all the time. Some quick fix is added before a trade show and 2-3 years later it's still there and going into the release. The reasons vary but it's usually one or more of: people forgot, issue was created but wa

Flames give food different flavours that you cannot get from just heating it with induction or hot plates. Also flames can go up the sides of a cooking vessel (specifically thinking a wok here) which you cannot achieve on an induction stove

The easiest way around this is to offer 1 year support or 1 major version support with the initial purchase. Then for people or corporations that want to have continuous support then they could pay for it.

There's a project that did that but for a different purpose - a network KVM using a Pi4 - https://mtlynch.io/tinypilot/ It had to use the one USB-C connector that's used for power for emulating the keyboard a

In my view corporations are meant to do what their owners want them to do. It just so happens that the vast majority of shareholders want the company to give them as high a return as possible. However this does not need to be the case. If t

Yep, which is why I get pissed off at manual processes in which people are strict and exactly comply with the rules and forms. One thing wrong, nope, cannot accept this document. Well then in that case those people are no better than a comp

I get the feeling that it's also easier for the cashier to put it into the point of sale / ordering system. There are buttons for specific menu items, and then buttons to remove things from them, but no buttons to build a burger f

Based on what a friend said to this news, the big organisations will just pay for the premium server products, while the smaller businesses will go use the SaaS offerings. Even so there will be some opportunity for a savvy business to come

Not only is it expensive but the 10GbE devices need actual real active cooling to run, plus they need special adapters and cables as well. It's not just a simple cable and plug to connect something with 10Gbps, you need SFP+ then these

For me the biggest hurdle is the disconnect between the way CMake and Visual Studio see the world. I still use it but I have my own batch files for preparing the environment, installing the dependencies, and building the CMake files in a di

So should you write a short script, or build a tool, or write a macro for your editor to do some repetitive thing or just do it manually for now (and therefore always in future). Same thing goes with having a pipeline of transforming data f

Yep, why bother doing a lot of things to save some minutes per day when the build itself takes 15-45 minutes to run. You're better off optimising the build so it takes less time than any fiddling you do with a text editor.

Maybe the moniker should have been something like Libre Source or Liberty Source? Or English lacks a nice sounding word for the meaning we want to convey. Branding is hard.
