A piece of software that hasn’t been touched in 5 years, let alone adopted in any professional production environment? Cool…

No… it’s not. But if you know something I don’t the 5 primes will certainly be happy to pay you handsomely for the implementation!

Looks fine, but you can tell the topology isn’t good based on the lack of wireframes.

In some sense it’s actually a genius answer to the spam arms race: refuse to participate. This way, the spam is immediately obvious. In the proposed word where sophisticated spam detection algorithms are built, the adversary develops sophis

I have a friend that incurred massive medical debts in college when their (college-provided) insurance refused to cover services rendered at the (college) hospital. The college then made all sorts of threats like “you won’t be able to gradu

You'll note the genocide of the entire Jewish people was not a part of your list of great travesties (and indeed they are). But the question is not "has the US done everything perfectly ever", it's: "Can you envisio

Controversial to be sure. But I'd challenge down-voters to instead (additionally?) provide a framework of their envisioned "conceivable alternative" new world order which would be more peaceful, just, and better to live in.

Yes, the aggressor would be the one to call out, not the defender.

Is your goal to support the idea or not? Universal acceptance of a moral perspective throughout history would typically be considered justification to continue accepting that perspective. Unless of course a new angle was provided that calle

If you ask me the lube just accelerated the problem. The root cause remains that you have a part secured with only a friction fit, in a setting where if that friction fit fails you have a a critical failure of the system. Friction fits can

If you know how the right amount feels, it really does not matter one bit how far off your initial measurement is. You start with an amount too low, and you add more until it feels right. If the amount you start with is 24% too low vs 20% t

I see it too. Seems to just be an article they like. Perhaps they condition advertisements on referrers. Edit: I see now it's a video, meaning it's really just a flashy headline that gets you to click and immediately watch though

A CSP can be configured to disallow external stylesheets too. I don't see how that's particularly relevant. But obviously if for some reason a CSP was configured as such, and I had no power to change it, I'd work around it.

I actually just downloaded the VS Code extension earlier today as a result of this discussion, perhaps that will change my opinion. Because for me the two flows would be: 1. I find the element I need to style 2. I add/edit the

I provided the script, you assigned the blame. If you were to have asked me instead of asserted at me, I'd have said there is no human blame to be placed. The Word took on human form specifically to fulfill the role of the sinless mart
