But someone slapped that label on it and made a pinky promise that it's true. That person needs to accept liability if things go wrong. If person A is loud and clear that something isn't ready, but person B tells the customer othe

They were always like this. They deliberately broke early Windows compatibility with non-MS DOS implementations for no good technical reason. They bundled Internet Explorer as an unremovable component of Windows during their browser war wit

Not sure how much good that does. Git history is mutable.

That would have interesting implications. Companies would have to grow by aggressive diversification into other markets. Instead of a Google or Appple that controls your digital life, you'd have an endgame with a few ACMEs that attempt

Java solved the problem by having Throwable as the root of all exceptions and not advertising that fact loudly. The derived Exception class is the root of all safely catchable exceptions. When someone catches a Throwable, something strange

Rust had extremely successful marketing based on its security claims. It's no surprise that other languages jump on that bandwagon to not get left behind, is it?

The really useful explosives don't go off because of rough handling and don't become unstable over time - both very desirable properties to prevent handling accidents. Ideally, the fuse is the only thing capable of setting it off.

Given the sometimes impressive fraction of duds among bombs, I am not sure I trust a mine that supposedly deactivated itself on a timer. It may work 9 times out of ten. But it doesn't really make a big difference if it's the firs

This may work on something with the complexity of a microcontroller or SoC, but becomes tricky beyond that. Any peripherals, especially removable ones would still need to be rediscovered and reinitialized on boot. Network connections may ha

What you are doing here is leveling a straight up accusation of fraud against the researchers. An accusation of that magnitude requires extraordinary evidence. A simple claim that the video looks weird is insufficient.

"Responding in time" here means meeting a hard deadline under any circumstances, no matter what else may be going on simultaneously. The counterintuitive part is that this about worst case, not best case or average case. So you mi

What's equallt bad these days is the fact that the calibration UI is hidden in the third or fourth level of nested dialog windows recent versions of the Control Panel. Even finding it is a hunting game. Many, but not all recent game co

I certainly understand your restrictions, but not all companies or jobs require policies that are this strict. I had jobs where that kind of over the shoulder snooping wasn't a concern at all. When you're coding something that doe

Vivaldi tabs do nest one level deep via tab groups. Drag one tab over another to group them. That's at least something.

There is a very fine line between "good enough" and "not good enough" in any product beyond a certain complexity. Finding the pieces that cross that line can be hard and improving "good enough" parts is (sadly)

I have to agree on the cult aspect. This is unfortunate because better tools exist already today, but lots of people refuse to even entertain that possibility.

I don't want to estimate storage space right now, but meshes can be stored very efficiently. For example, I think UE uses an optimization where vertex positions are heavily quantized to just a few bits within the meshlet's boundin

I think the better way to ask this question is: how much large scale spatial variation can there be in the laws of physics so that the observable behavior doesn't contradict existing observations? As far as I remember, this has been st

The API breaks in SDL2 were sorely needed, if you asked me. SDL1 painted itself into a corner in a few places, e.g. simultaneous use of multiple displays/windows.

That is absolutely not how it works. If you offer a platform for public discourse you are required by law to moderate it or face the consequences. Telegram group chats are technically open to moderation, yet the company has done nothing to

I think most Germans see the train delays with silent resignation. The delays have been a constant for a long time now despite everlasting promises of improvements.
