"Don't shout at the devil (not even with good news)." This is just amazing, thank you (and OP) for the link!

Exactly this. In fact, it’s the same protection I have now at home in a couple of roof windows. Not because I expect attacks, but because I’ve got one more floor above and I want some safety in case something heavy and loose falls down dur

Absolutely, can confirm. As I said, the windshield will still break, but will still be held together by the film. Now as far as keeping thieves out it is far less useful as it can be cut with a very sharp object (same things firefighters d

This has been addressed already, though not by manufacturers. If you live (or drive through) an area where brick attacks are known to happen, you just put protective films on the windshield. It usually still ends up damaged but you can cont

I don’t disagree with you but we can’t ignore the fact that it’s much easier to find delivery drivers and call center workers than airline pilots. As everything, it’s all about the leverage each side has.

To avoid relying in Wikipedia, here’s another source claiming Armenians are a minority in Azerbaijan but (were) a majority in this conflict region: https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/azerbaijan/

I should have said “No need to feel guilty” instead of “No need to apologize”, hopefully the message stays mostly the same.

No need to apologize, plus, I think energy is always a political issue, though not always involving more than one country, much less countries at war. I feel you did politicize this when editing your quote from the article, which prompted m

I think if we fill in the ellipsis it adds a bit more context: “ feeling marginalized and discriminated against, had long been fighting to protect their civil rights.” Further, looking at Demographics under https://en.m.wikipedia

"Just like suicide" by Soundgarden for me, but only after I was able to read the story about the crow flying into Chris' window, probably about a decade after I first heard the song. An honestly, as with all such stories, who

Very nice! This was almost my first computer (almost because it was actually a TK-90) so it's nice to see it here, I guess it was a common starting point if you were in a family with a computer in the 80s in UY :) While I know it'

I think that’s probably true for companies that were forced into WFH due to the pandemic, but I’ve been working remotely for more than 14 years now and companies that are already doing it don’t have problems building alignment on larger ini

Thanks for the answer. So with a depot being responsible for locations, and partitioned by user id, is is too off to think of this as the way cockroachdb does sharding, with ranges where there's a single raft leader per range? From you

I can't wrap my head around the way this solves the global mutable state problem. First, here's what I do understand about databases and global state: compared to programming variables, I don't think databases are shared, mut

Robert Pirsig spends a good number of pages discussing stuckness and what he calls gumption traps, I think that part of the book may be interesting (and perhaps even useful; it was to me) for people who found TFA interesting.

Among the many works influenced by this, I love this one: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Right_Hand It’s also mentioned in Cave’s Song of Joy.

I'm not sure how the number of jobs someone has applied to relates to how easy or difficult life is. Is that your experience? Speaking of IT specifically, the folks I know who have applied to lots of job did that either because they ap

I actually find copilot quite useful but I use it from emacs and it only provides suggestions when I intentionally hit my defined shortcut for it, so it never gets in the way. It may be worth for you to try setting it up in a similar way in

If you did not sell the library to the military software company then no, it’s them whom are liable (assuming they did sell their software, that uses your library, to whomever had the nuke that went off) and not you. IANAL but it seems clea

Thanks for linking to the actual directive! In light of it, I think the article I found didn’t link to it out of sloppiness, because their summary seems reasonably accurate to me, and the fine article didn’t link to it because they want to

I have no idea how you interpret it this way. How does being liable for damages caused by software or services you sell equate to being an idiot? I just see it as the normal way to do business, and the reason why limited liability (the way

That is concerning, but I think the author’s interpretation of the upcoming regulation may be wrong. See here for example: https://www.euractiv.com/section/digital/news/eu-updates-pro... Specifically: “The D

The Gremlin is probably too extreme an example (and as someone not from the US, I’m only aware of it because it became the Butt of jokes in US TV and movies), but I still agree with your larger point. In my country the closest example for t

I didn’t mean to say all old cars lasted longer but I can see that it came out that way. I just wanted to point out that some are still around, and further, the US is probably not the best market for a study on car lifetime since it seems m

Well, they do (present tense) last longer in the sense that they’re still around and working, which of course doesn’t mean newer cars are worse. It’s a bit like saying someone who’s 70 lives longer than someone who’s 7. I think newer cars s

If it adds any context to this, Peter is one of the founders of Percona, a company built entirely around open source software and associated services. That doesn’t mean you should agree with him, but when he says “ those crying how horrible

The article seems focused on eating disorders and other mental health problems related to one’s view of one’s body in relation to others, so I’m not sure this is something that was said before about video games and D&D, but you are righ

I stumbled upon this today following links after my wife sent me a video of BB King changing a string while performing “How blue can you get” and thought of sharing it because this is a great album, and I also really liked this quote from K
