My understanding is that you can use Confluent's software to run your own stack and offer a service, and you can do that for free. You just can't offer a service that competes directly with theirs. It's like if Google said,

It relieves the symptoms of sinusitis. Painful pressure can build in your sinuses, and rinsing can help open passages and equalize the pressure as well as soothe the pain a bit. I also like to think I'm removing bad stuff and helping

Right. I wasn't sure if Coleman was saying "it couldn't have happened from her tap water, because it's treated" or if the implication was that the victim had a well. I like your interpretation- the latter.

I'm a little confused. Was the tap-water untreated (that is, well water)? Can these damn things survive chlorination? They're a known danger swimming in southern (US)- meaning warm- fresh-water lakes and ponds. But- damn, this

Agreed. Eventually, hopefully, people become educated. Unfortunately it seems to take knowing someone who knows someone who suffers directly to change these minds. But in the early stages it's freaking impossible. Even when someone

Would you say that then gives you the right to get the fingerprints off of the voucher and examine it for traces of other molecules, such as perfumes, cigarette brands, or sexual activity? There are certain lines that people assume others

Interestingly, I put your phrase into my favorite search engine and the top result is a counterargument to your argument. :) https://duckduckgo.com/?q=arguments+that+voting+is+not+merel...

If you're going to use cost-benefit, then you have to look at the margins. The delta cost is time out of your day. Learning issues, caring about outcomes etc., is just going to be done at the level that people do it going about their

With apologies to Pascal[1] You assume your vote doesn't matter. Then If you are correct and you vote, nothing happens. If you are correct and you don't vote, nothing happens. If you are wrong but you vote, you help make change.

Also because GPS is unreliable in cities with tall buildings that obscure the satellites. This is important in the case of needing to make a 911 call. I don't know what the laws are around mobile phones needing to be able to place a

One of the original draws was asking a question and getting an answer from a guru. Like asking a question on SO and having Torvalds politely respond. It was actually a feature, not too far removed from Reddit's AMA.

The vibe on many of the technical branches of SE is one of exclusivity and pretentiousness. Just Friday I was stuck on using some old CLI tool that nobody uses any more, and my problem was two some obscure settings in the myriad options th

A little OT: How do you use nightly? Do you have a cron job that downloads it? Do you download it every day? Do you only occasionally download it? Or is there some other way? I'd love to use it more but last I checked they didn&#x27

I use ddg as my primary, and one thing it's brilliant at is Mozilla Dev Network. I append my question with mdn (not !mdn- the bang uses mozilla's search and it's not as good) and I usually get my answer at the top. DDG is s

disassociating themselves from anything that could be considered pornographic seems like reasonable business logic We will see if their revenue and profit go up or down. Then we'll know if it's the right decision or not.

In other areas it seems like it's people working on their craft of writing fiction, notably erotic fiction. Questions like "What's the naughtiest thing you've done at work?" generate those kind of responses. Which

In vim, I use vsplit to open the same file, make my edit, and close it. tbh, it's faster to mark my spot with m[az], make my edit, and return to my spot `[az] ([az] means any lower case letter).

Indeed. I should have put "protecting us" in quotes.

This news also seems relevant to the Net Neutrality fight. Once Verizon feels they have to protect us from harmful images or thoughts, where will it stop?

The older I get the more I see this. Kids having characteristics they couldn't possibly have learned from those with whom they share them. It's uncanny. I'm convinced that if you want to know what my father was like, look a

Yeah- Sometimes I've gotten lazy and returned an object that has all the private stuff attached. Once I've verified that it works, I quit returning that object, keeping the methods private for normal use. It gives me a clear log

As I mentioned, but didn't explain: There is online software that you can download to your computer to "rescue" them. Apparently it accesses the file system to get them. He said he knew it had them because the software sh
