A PDF smartform can run ActionScript. Fortunately smart forms require Adobe Viewer, and there's an approval step (similar to agreeing to Excel macros), but after that it can do whatever the hell it likes.

Quarantining the most at risk and those who look after them could be the best solution as far as reducing deaths. They keep saying don't wear facemasks but if you are a asymptomatic carrier a facemask will limit you spreading it to oth

The problem is that statistically the confirmed number of cases is only 1 in 2 million in the US at the moment. Your chance of getting hit by lightning in any one year is higher at 1 in 700k. So at this stage it is very hard to comprehend.

This is where GitFlow makes sense - when you have a QA and/or enduser acceptance process before code is committed to a master/release branch. Also for DevOps you sometimes need to be able to branch off Master to apply a critical p

Thanks for the link. Their review was amusing: https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-air-fryer/ "The Best Air Fryer Is a Convection Toaster Oven" Definitely sticking with the oven.

Sort of related - has anyone purchased one of these counter-top air fryers? To me it just looks to be a small convection oven (which I have), but doesn't seem to offer any advantage except maybe ease of cleaning or power consumption. A

Primarily death was due to bacterial pneumonia, the cytokine storm likely accelerating the deterioration of the lungs. That particularly viral strain may have been more dangerous, but overall the current pandemic is comparable in death rate

Star Asia (parent of Star India) was owned by Fox, which was how Disney ended up with it. Any similarities to Fox in the US are likely not coincidental.

Not completely correct. The Mount Gambier eruption (VEI 4) was about 5,000 years ago and it's only 100km away, so it's possible they had contact with people fleeing that area, along with ash fall and a 10km high plume. VEI 5 and y

That made me laugh. My 2 cents after doing this long enough to recognise it - Aim for 3NF but not religiously. Still, if you need a flat table try a view. - Any ternary relationship can be modeled as a pair of binary relations (you'll

On blowing the C64 fuse, there was a commonly known soft reset technique that involved crossing two connectors on the game port. Cross the wrong ones and you would blow the fuse.

I think at the very least they would have bet on the WH looking the other way while they conducted an attack on a prominent US citizen. At worst it could be another "favour" attached to military procurement.
