I don't think the snark in this response is super helpful; a simple "Yes, throw a TypeError when the types are incorrect" would have sufficed.

Is there a source for Apple knowing about the FaceTime incident for months?

Personally, I think the title of this should have been "Why is PayPal so successful yet they treat their users like crap?" I have had multiple people come to me asking why their PayPal payment was rejected, or why PayPal closed th

Do I understand your comment to mean that Amazon has terrible documentation around AWS? Because if that's the case, I'm truly curious what documentation you find terrible. It can be confusing at times for me, but from my experienc

There is no invasion like what you're mentioning in the (recently) current systems. I was a Nielsen household. They use audio tracking via HDMI/optical audio to "see" what's being watched, and they can of course tel

I think https by default would be a wonderful addition. I understand the complexities from the project's perspective. I understand the users wants for privacy. If the project not defaulting to https is that much of a privacy issue for

But not really. If the person who now makes 85k is struggling to survive on that amount of money (ignore the fact that it's 85k... it could be 40k after taxes for example), then while its "fair" in that they both pay their pe

Online fuel tracking system, that would allow you to compare your vehicle's fuel economy with others around the world. I spent too much time trying to get the data model just the way I wanted it, fuelly.com came along and ate my lunch.

Having not heard of Arch Enemy before this article, it's too bad for them. Their music is directly in line with my tastes (I watched about 30s of the YouTube video linked). I'm a music fan that doesn't mind paying to purchase

As an American living in the midwest, that map (while _excellent_) simply makes me sad. 60% of our energy comes from gas and coal. 30% comes from nuclear (I'm rounding in both cases). The remaining 10% comes from renewables (mostly hyd

I can get behind your first statement. Having NULLable as a default on columns is "probably" a bad idea. I'm not so sure I can agree with the other two. NULL<>NULL (and NULL=NULL) both return false for a very simple rea

I wonder whether those that were taking the environment in to consideration for the development thought beyond the project to what environmental impacts could be lessened by the project. I'm not a Musk fanboy, but if these tunnels wi

I don't think GP was suggesting that Yahoo built Flickr. They said it was Yahoo's most popular property. Which, outside of Mail, is probably a completely true statement. And they absolutely let it stagnate. The apps that were avai

Doesn't that then imply that you don't know assembly?

You have a (probably) $6k machine that is still giving you a workable system 10 years later - doesn't that tend to suggest something?

Sadly that list is based on data from the 2005 standard. Several of these have since been redefined.

Because it's possible that you can't clone from the https endpoint but you can from the git endpoint, which helps them (and you) debug the cause.

As someone who lost my spouse in the middle of March, 2018, a lot of this resonates. You never really think about what life could or would be like without them. And then (in some cases) you wake up one morning, and they're gone. It nev

You speak as though an author on Slate.com has any actual say in what Slate.com does to set policy. It would be the same as if you read this article on any other "news site" - so why would you dismiss the author's concerns ab

Google invested early in Gitlab. I'm not saying you're wrong, but they've been in this space for a long time already.

A year and a half in internet time might as well be a decade for the rest of the business world. The real question is did they learn from their mistakes and implement better guardrails to prevent this from happening in the future?

I haven't seen mention of the fork bomb in a long time. I'm impressed that it was included here; gives me hope for the next batch of sysadmins.

It's definitely interesting reading my sibling comments - their complaint is that there are product logos in the shot of the program that is being watched. I have only anecdotal evidence, and it's not even recorded evidence, but I

MySQL used the index on the joined table, but didn't use an index on the primary table because there isn't anything to filter on. The join condition would still cause one table to require a table scan to gather all of the records.

Would you consider doing a write-up of how you set this up?

That makes sense. Though, with Waymo/Cruise/etc (that are still in the testing phase - at least compared to groups like Uber and Tesla), is there any documentation on why they disengaged? Personally (again, anecdote, but still)

Pretty sure you're being downvoted by making the statement that we're orders of magnitude away, but not providing any data to back up your claim. Even with the number of accidents / injuries / deaths caused by self-drivi

I'm interested to know how you plan to keep someone with `wheel` access from doing anything on a server that they maintain. No, seriously.
