Code search may show snippets, but it's clearly not separated from the rest of its code base, including the license. It may be your problem as a user of that tool if you pirate snippets out of the search results without honoring its li

IMO that doesn’t absolve Microsoft at all. If someone uploads ripped MP3s to the internet somewhere, it doesn’t mean you could aggregate them, burn CDs and sell them.

This right here. I make decent money as a software eng, but recently spent time with family and saw how much my little brothers are making in roof sales and low voltage electrical work (intercoms, led lighting, etc). Trades and home buildin

You're also correct, but sea sand contains salt, which is corrosive to the steel reinforcement bars and reactive with other minerals. Such concrete fails catastrophically.

"Planning to in the next 15 years" doesn't speak to the current reality, the one wherein the US has a much more diversified portfolio of energy production, and far better air quality.

You're making an odd, apples-to-oranges comparison. China doesn't use coal for energy, only free market countries? China burns more coal than the US an their air quality is far worse. While it's a shame the US doesn't ha

Those scam calls are quite common in Taiwan unfortunately, and it's fairly well known here that it's a big mafia enterprise run by the bamboo union. The government recently repatriated a bunch of Taiwanese that had been trafficked

And the danger with today’s marijuana is that it’s 100x stronger than what we smoked in the sixties. Online porn will corrupt todays youth because it’s more ubiquitous and immersive than nudie mags of yesterday. It’s all just moral panic

I agree that the “prank” shit is obnoxious. Like videos of a guy cutting peoples’ headphone cords and then “lol it’s a prank bro here’s some free AirPod.”

It’s definitely not new. When I was a kid it was Trigger Happy TV, Jackass or CKY. How you could write a panicky article like this with a straight face I don’t know.

What is with the TikTok panic posts? I don’t like that a Chinese social media app has so much influence in the West either, but articles like this are getting downright silly. The NPC in real life videos are mostly play acted people doing N

Probably not. So far, after COVID, Japan is “open” but only if you go as part of a tour group. You can’t just land and get visa-free entry to go backpacking around. It sounds like that’s what’s changing.

I’ve been blocking webfonts for a long time, and not being subjected to the design is mostly a feature. The only time it’s not is when instead of glyphs you get weird alt text like UP_ARROW.

This is the killer for me. I’ve gone from loving GitHub to hating it for this one quirk. When you reload the page while viewing a PR, you invariably land at some random spot instead of where you were.
