What if in order to get city dwellers (who were already able to get food, albeit having to wait 5 more minutes for it) food the app makes unreasonable demands on delivery workers (who probably won’t be employees but “associates” instead) to

I would guess that's the linker's job? I don't need to do that in my day to day job, but I do remember that as part of an OS class at school (some 20+ years ago) one of the tasks we were assigned was that we had to work in pa

This is basically the Lord Farquaad line: "some of you may die, but it is a price I am willing to pay" I don't think they're tone-deaf as much as they don't care. Which reminds me of another line, this time from Ki

Most likely only those who need it will take it, and making it available to everyone makes it simpler to manage. I went to a public school in Uruguay and we had a daily free meal (not really lunch, it was more of a snack, school ran 13 to 1

The Schopenhauer quote reminded me of Saucer-like by Sonic Youth. I always found this line beautiful and now wonder if Lee borrowed the idea from Schopenhauer or if it's just a coincidence: "Every day is just another breath, every

I haven't read anything by her, but the line "best finest surgeon, come cut me open" from the chorus of Surgeon by St Vincent comes from this book, and I think it's great (the music helps).

I agree with your “You can’t just decide to take the law into your own hand” when doing so hurts or damages someone else. So I would agree with you not being able to hold someone detained in an unofficial jail just because they stole from y

I used to do this for the reason you mention (anyone in the household can enter transactions), but since 2020 I’ve moved to gnu cash and the double entry accounting is the main reason. I admit I knew very little about accounting before, and

I meant to say that offering Mathematica free at an early stage of the educational process for improved chance of lock-in later in life is a point I agree is bad. I'm not opposed to proprietary software, in fact I use some, but I do no

I'm quite pro Free Software but I think that analogy is stretching it too much. In fact, I think it's so hyperbolic it ends up working against the point you're trying to make, which is one I agree with (e.g., I really like Ma

The sk-1 was my first "real" musical instrument, and what I remember the most is that I was thrilled at the sampler. I must have been 7 or 8 years old and it was amazing to be able to record any sound and then play music with it.

My guess is guess Canada is less afraid than Uruguay about the potential implications, the asymmetry between the US and Canada is a lot less than that between the US and Uruguay.

To expand your point, the impact can be international. Weed is legal in Uruguay (restrictions apply, but you can do some paperwork and you'll then be able to buy it) yet the Central Bank suggested pharmacies to only sell it in cash, ou

I agree with most of what you say, and in particular with companies' love for the term, but I disagree that "the work remains largely the same". When I got started on this line of work, we used cvs to track program code and w

First, I'd say the key value store is actually older than the relational database, by at least a couple of decades. Of course, not the current ones, but we're also not using the relational database from the 80s so ... Now to try a

I only used 5 1/4 and 3 1/2 floppy disks, and I assume you refer to the 3 1/2 ones as the cover on those was hard. I always thought the 'floppy' part was to refer to the disk itself, which, even on the 3 1/2 on
