That's exactly my thought as well. Even if you look at some of those sites like: http://youmightnotneedjquery.com/ the main thing they highlight to me is how incredibly superior jQuery's API still is for many basi

Well oftentimes colleges can and will exercise discretion when it comes to having a student arrested and they will perform their own internal inquiry to determine whether an offense warrants arrest and prosecution. That's just the way

No, I don't think this is "common knowledge" at all. Can you site any source whatsoever for this or reference a concurring post somewhere?

I think you're right on most points, but after reading the write up and response I do think Alex reached out to the employer first instead of the researcher as an intended act of intimidation. That was a mistake. If it was not done for

Wait, what good would multiple exits do in the case of CO leak (note it is CO not CO2)? A carbon monoxide leak wouldn't wake you up before killing you.

But does making this stuff uninstallable and difficult to disable really make them that much additional money? Seems like a poorly negotiated deal if that was really part of it.

I've wondered why they didn't fix this so many times over the years. Every time I saw that one inch wide, unresizable text input for the PATH or other variable, I got that feeling of exasperation you get when you know a company do

If the address is linked to your credit card, then that counts as verification too. Unfortunately, even if you move and change your CC's address, I don't think they have a process to remove people (or re-verify them periodically).

I've met some nice neighbors via Nextdoor (and gotten help with some small things a couple times), but the discussions do tend to degenerate pretty rapidly (so much for posting under one's real identity having any significant impa

As others are pointing out it is a totally meaningless survey. They asked, "How much money do you have saved in your savings account?". Many people will only keep a small emergency fund in cash plus some money in a checking accoun

Yeah, as long as you go with Java 8, then I think the Spring+Java app is still a viable and also pretty powerful option. Although I disagree about Hibernate as I've found it ends up causing a lot more problems than it solves in the end

Is it using Apache Spark maybe? I'm confused, even their logo reminded me of Apache Spark in terms of color at least. There are other "Spark" projects out there as well.

Yeah unfortunately I think it's more about tackling entirely new problems in addition to the problems Vagrant already solves.

Hmm, inventing a whole new language doesn't seem like the best way to increase your quality. There are already a lot of outstanding languages nowadays.

I use Vagrant regularly for development work and it is a good tool, however, it does still have a lot of issues. I have also gotten the sense over the years that HashiCorp developers could have been more responsive to users and addressed

Does JetBrains have any way to make money off of Kotlin? Most people use the free version of IDEA nowadays. Do they have consulting services for Kotlin? Seems especially strange since they seem to be admitting it will be irrelevant once Jav

Seems like a reasonable model, but I'm still surprised at how bad the previously announced strategy was. I think it's great that they listened to their customers in this case, but the fact that so many people at the company were i

For many people it will depend on the nature and quantity of ads and trackers they have. Reddit has a similar thing where they thank you for not using ad blockers or perhaps gently encourage you not to -- and since they only have a few unob

It is an interesting point, but it really shouldn't matter what order you accept the change sets in as long as you accept them all, correct? Was it something specific to your project that caused there to be issues?

Yeah, I'm still not feeling much sympathy for him though. He did 11 months for a premeditated theft for which he tried to cover his tracks. Is that too harsh? Of course they're going to go after him. And you're worried about
