From experiencing different AV products at various jobs, they all use kernel level code to do their thing, so any one of them can have this situation happen.

He is saying that Kogan want to be Amazon in Australia, and that Kogan has many dark patterns, not that Amazon is itself bad. Though I do agree that Amazon was better when it was just a book retailer and not an example marketplace site for

I heard/read somewhere from some Stewardesses on those budget airlines that even though people get angry about being charged those additional costs, that they claim they will never fly again, that they actually continue flying repeated

I don't use Ryanair specifically but these patterns are commonly found on all other discount airlines, and even some regular airlines as well. One particularily devious example is when you log into WizzAir's website, the check box

As someone said earlier in these comments the software is required if you want to operate with government entities. So until that requirement changes it is not going anywhere and continues to print money for the company.

To suggest a feature or describe an issue on a product you're working on can be most easily done by just talking to people, for example by bringing it up in a design or planning meeting with the team and management. If it gets picked u

Yes. But for what purpose will you be sending it - to cover your ass, or to make yourself feel superior? Also keep in mind that the company has full access to your work email account therefore they could delete the email if they wanted to.

My thoughts on the Expat vs Immigrant issue is one of permanence. Being an Expat is temporary as you're living in the other country until you return back to your home country or you become an immigrant and choose to stay. While being a

Having all the dialog logic in a single switch statement doesn't mean that all the text is right in there. It can still be referring to IDs which are then looked up in a table for the right translation.

The part with having multiple libraries that do the same thing is always an interesting engineering case. Usually it's the case that different libraries support different features, so trying to settle on only one library is folly. Same

Was it then case that there was special logic attached to special leap years like all of the exceptions we hear about in other software products like Excel etc? Or was it just "return true" and "return false" ?

Ideally rather than dual booting I would welcome something like running both OSes in sort of a virtual machine but being able to switch between them as easy as with a physical KVM. Having to actually restart a PC is a pain in the ass which

This has been mentioned before, but I can see the benefit in having curated webrings and similar listings. Where people can verify the content is not LLM generated.

Are you saying without an installer, or unpackaged as in without a package identity ala https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/get-started/i... ?

You're right. I didn't see the Small Business tab when I was quickly looking through it. Still ends up being a blocker when you're not sure how many copies of the product you'll sell.

Qt for Application Development Professional (ADP) is 3460 €/Year. If you're making something which you sell for $50 or so you'd need 100 sales per year to just pay for the development environment. That also assumes that it to

It's especially hard when the application you're building isn't yet proven. As there's no guarantee that it will get any sales, let alone enough to cover the Commercial Qt expenses.

Like the author I too did an evaluation of various UI frameworks, though I ended up settling on WTL (Win32 with some ATL). I might switch away from it and make my own Win32 wrapper in time but for now it works well enough and writing custom

Nothing preventing you from building a versioned configuration system using a database or similar, especially if you build tools to actually change the configuration rather than hand editing text files.

You have an insurer which insures you against an even that happens 1% of the time, but you are its one and only customer. The event happens to you, so the insurer has to pay you out. Since it doesn't have any more money than what you p

Insurance only works if the majority pay but only the minority get paid. Anything else and you risk not getting paid if the event occurs.

People can develop allergies during their lifetime, it's not just something that you're born with. There's also ongoing studies trying to desensitise people's allergies so that they can deal with foods more easily. So a

Though at the same time I would wager a larger rate of gum disease and mouth cancer than the rest of Europe by a lot.

This sort of thought implies not believing in insurance of any kind. Why should people pay into a common fund when only a small percentage of them will ever use it.

So with this the main reasoning behind having some nuclear power generation would be to have a capable nuclear industry with a trained nuclear workforce to support the new batch of nuclear submarines that both major parties want to get. I k

Given that there is currently debate about adding Nuclear to the energy mix in Australia I have a few things that come to mind. Is this Nuclear option just F.U.D. over renewables and storage so that investment dries up and fossil fuels rema

Maybe an unpopular statement but I don't think Jira is that bad by itself. It's just a very flexible and configurable system which ultimately ends up reflecting structure and complexity of the host organisation.

It's like the old adage of why Enterprise software sucks so badly to use. It's because it's being sold to managers and executives who don't actually end up using it, and never have to deal with the consequences of buying
