Saying that "none of this is anyone’s fault" and blaming this on new technology is entirely disingenuous. This is 100% GM's fault because they learned nothing after the government bailed them out in 2009. They continued to sc

It's not like he bundled it with a complete copy of chrome. Now that would be bloat.

I'm not sure what these people are complaining about. You have a search box with a big list box underneath and a preview frame on the side. I guess it's 'dated' in the sense it doesn't use a browser engine, layout e

Can you explain to me what's so bad about the UI? I've used it for years and I never really gave the UI a second thought.

There have been several articles in the past few days whinging about both mozilla and chrome incorporating DNS over TLS. Someone seems to be REALLY unhappy about this and those people seem to be trying to use the press as a microphone. It s

Materialized views, common table expressions, outer joins, are all missing in mysql and essential. The Postgresql's stored procedure language blows mysql out of the water, and it's possible to use different language backends. SQLi

The common pattern is to have some system wide file in /etc or /usr/share that is used by default, and allowing the user to override this with a dot-file in their home directory or passing in a config file as a optional argum

I'm going to pass on this one. How is /etc not 'extensible'? You just add a new file to the directory. Reinventing the windows registry, but this time in JSON, is a lateral move that is only going to complicate maintaini

What's stopping them from claiming misfeasance or just 'unknown unknowns' in the face of malfeasance? Absent smoking gun emails where they laugh at how stupid their clients are for buying the crap, how do you demonstrate this

Does removing legal immunity mean anything to these people? Is there really going to be any reckoning this next time around? C-suite people never go to prison. If the company gets dinged, they just declare bankruptcy and reform under a new

If you look at what people have to go through in 2019 for an entry level job at the coding fields, everyone hates it and it's not just 'toxic' for female coders. Take a look at /r/cscareerquestions on reddit. People

I own a 2003 Mercedes W203 C230 and it has 400k km. No problems with the engine and transmission other than the valve cover gasket blows every once in a while and starts leaking oil. Simple fix. Some of the other parts on the car aren'

Users don't usually care about raw lat/lon. If you want to display them as an approximate so you can tell them apart as some kind of logging output do something like "(%+07.4f,%+07.4f)".
