If the 13-year old had killed someone, they could be prosecuted as a minor and they would go to juvie and their record would be sealed after they turn 21 and they could get on with their life. But stealing a trivial amount of money from a c

As I'm reading it, GCP is ignoring accept-encoding as a caching variable. Certain services (stackexchange API calls for one, but I'm pretty sure it's come up elsewhere) just ignore it entirely from the application.

Some services go a step further and specifically ignore an 'accept-encoding: identity' header and return gzip instead, because they feel that asking for uncompressed content is broken.

The 2 biggest things I find missing in makefiles is the ability to have the "modified date" of a target be something other than the mtime of the target file, and for the dependencies of a target to be generated rather than statica

Many people will respond that "one big server" is a massive single point of failure, but in doing so they miss that it is also a single point of success. If you have a distributed system, you have to test and monitor lots of diff

Did Elon ever really intend to buy Twitter in the first place, or was he just looking for a way to get inside information about the company without paying for it like twitter's "largest enterprise customers" do? Then he cou

Every link I click on opens up a new frame in the current window. Can't move them around, or focus, or anything. Whatever js rendering it is is either a bizarre design choice, or just plain broken.

Matrix: Operator You take on the role of an operator (e.g. Tank) from 'The Matrix' movies to guide your team through an operation (recon, retrieve, destroy, etc... standard mission types). You have a large-scale but limited reso

I fail to see how replacing 1 line of jQuery with 10 lines of plain js is simple. Sure, you don't use those 10 lines all over the place, you write a function ... but then aren't you just recreating jQuery?

When you're buying tools, buy the cheapest one that will do the job. After you use that tool for a while and it breaks (because it's cheap) then go out and buy the best one you can afford, because you're already justified th

Given enough time, any lock can be broken into, and no manufacturer will claim their lock is foolproof. Even safes are rated only for how long they will deter a determined thief, e.g., a TL-15 safe will resist break-in for 15 minutes.

Play Ingress. Lots of community and large-scale competition; plus the visuals and framerates you find in the Real World while hiking to a portal are pretty impressive.

The ark lands after The Flood. Noah lets all the animals out. Says, "Go and multiply." Several months pass. Noah decides to check up on the animals. All are doing fine except a pair of snakes. "What's the problem?"

Being a mercenary is great if what makes you happy is being a mercenary. The problem is that mercenaries excel at destroying things and getting paid for it, not at creating things.

I like vscode + remote ssh a lot, but one thing to be aware of is that the node server that it installs on the remote can be a bit memory hungry if you're on a small machine (i.e., low-end droplet or vps). One of the rsync or sftp rem

I rather like tcl's solution: copy on write, with reference counting. Values are immutable, so if you to alter a value in place, it gets copied; but iff nothing else is pointing to the same value it can get modified in place because
