   The CEO should set the organisational culture. I would argue that - alongside the fact this isn't the first issue of this kind by the sounds of things - the fact that a serious error like this could be caused by a developer making a ty

   I have access to Gemini through Workspace, but despite spending quite a while trying to find out how, I cannot figure out how to use that in Copilot. All I seem to be able to find is information on the personal account or enterprise tiers,

   This reminds me very much of one of my favourite series on Netflix, Midnight Diner (not Midnight Diner - Tokyo Stories , which is a Netflix remake with many of the same cast, but not as enjoyable as the original in my opinion). Most of t

   I have recently discovered that hardcore punk (like the album Feel The Darkness by Poison Idea) played at high volume in some headphones really helps me when I have to do those kinds of tasks. My hunch is that is translates my ennui into ca

    Given the design, I reckon they might well be on a tiny hand-crafted server, in which case it makes sense. I seem to remember something similar the last time this was posted.

    I get a 401 error with that link, but when I visit it from a search engine it's fine. I think they may have blocked referrals from HN, so if you see that message, try copying-and-pasting the URL into a new tab / window / inco

    My understanding was that "ton" is the US / imperial and "tonne" is the metric one, but I see people using them interchangeably here, so I guess whether that's technically true or not is a bit moot!

    Taking the strongest plausible interpretation of the comment you're replying to, systems are not the people who work in them. It's perfectly possible for a system to be tuned to something other than pure patient benefit, while the

    People attend to detail whatever its aesthetic value. Look at an eye tracking study of people looking at faces - of course they look at eyes and lips rather than the middle of the cheeks, but if someone had a massive, suppurating boil in th

    Agree about the destruction for cars. "Modern buildings look really ugly" is far too broad a statement though. Apart from it being entirely subjective - there are lots of modern buildings that I love - your statement just sounds

    That is a long way from the strongest possible interpretation of the comment you're replying to. What they're saying doesn't have any bearing on your thoughts - both can be true.
