Hmm. Are they straight up lying here, or am I missing something? First, “The attached records are no longer required to be retained by law and are not needed for any pending litigation.” Then, later, "The city of Inglewood said in cour

The websites have to comply with the law, but a university should not be sending them emails lying about their obligations under any law. The emails were from fake people. So any work preparing any response regarding those fake peoples pers

When you study how humans react to changes to a website, you study the behavior of the visitors to the website. When you study where rubbish is being transported to, you study a system designed by humans. There's an obvious difference.

Second this. I have a SwedX FHD or UHD or something screen, not 4K. The remote is simple. The menus are simple. Turning it on could be quicker, but is not horrible. The sound is not great, but functional. It has digital audio out, so I use

I recently bought a simple TV from SwedX [0]. Pretty happy with it so far. Seems to be simple enough. No "apps", no network connectivity, simple remote and simple menus. Quite quick to turn on. I didn't go for an extremely hi

No, he explains that the structure of the .NET foundation was based on the structure of the Gnome Foundation, with concessions to Microsoft. Gnome and the Gnome foundation were not involved. They're just the model he used when planning

Edge is probably a fine browser. But I'm phasing out Microsoft on my computers - even overlooking all the crappy ads and shady telemetry, they fundamentally don't build usable account systems. "Microsoft accounts" are re

I mostly work with pre-classical and classical (pre-romantic) music. For me the utility is mostly about quickly learning and sight-reading music. Quickly getting an idea of phrasing, by seeing where the tension-release should be. Or figurin

Don't think it's a problem to give them the code, as long as your own license isn't terminated. But it would be a breach of copyright for Chessbase to distribute or modify the code, after their license has been terminated.

This is exactly the 'null' bug, and the problem that's solved with a strongly-typed language and an `Optional<T>` or `Maybe T`. Then you are forced to deal with the fact that you might not have a value, right away.

That's the case with all "bad AI" stories. Remember, an AI can't make a mistake until we have true AI. Until then, there's always human error - either the operator, or the programmer. In this case, it was obviously

If you save IPs to use for fraud detection, then under the GDPR you can't use them for _ANYTHING_ else, and you need a sensible rule for how long you keep them. Most of those checkboxes are not worth anything under GDPR, because people

Pfff. Audacity hasn't really changed in the last 5 years. It's still good. I doubt I would miss anything I need if I somehow didn't update for a couple of years.

I'm using Win 10 LTSC, and that is clearly better than 7, even if I have to work really hard to disable a ton of stupid crap, as well as a lot of telemetry. I think it says a lot about Microsoft that they constantly move around the &#x

sr.ht supports Mercurial as well. And fits well with the old-school vibe. But feel free to use SourceForge - fine by me. I just wish SF would hide unused stuff from the project page. The new UI is a ton better, but as an example, this proje

Well. You obviously have the freedom to not air your views. You have at-will employment in a lot of the US, so employers can fire you for any reason (except for some exceptions), or without a reason . I don't think this is a good thing

A young boy I know loves playing with toy weapons. He also loves playing cook, and playing "taking care of the baby" with a doll. Luckily, he's allowed to.

That's easy to say now. At the time, UMC had not "debriefed" the kernel maintainers they lied to in the "hypocrite commits". And then Pakki didn't mention that these new patches were generated by a tool, and su

Well, apparently they needed the bad publicity and "overreaction" to actually do that. The fact that they didn't communicate _clearly_ with the kernel about exactly which patches this was about at the time when they announced

You don't want the "buy one get one free" to apply directly to the cart subtotal. You want to show the customer which entry is free (or discounted), so they can see that the rebate is applied correctly. You probably want to c

I really don't understand this. Whenever I try to print debug, I end up missing the mark on my first print statement(s). If I just set a breakpoint, I can jump back in the stack, or step forwards, so I can easily find the real place th

Both this guy, and the researchers themselves (in their article), suggests that the kernel adds "don't submit know-bad patches" to their code of conduct. So it's sort of hard to take them seriously as human beings, and n

You still have a race condition, as long as your backend serves more than one request at the time. If you nuke the cache _before_ performing the change, another request might make the changed item reappear in the cache before the change is

Yes, EDN is S-expressions plus a bunch of semantic rules. Parsing EDN is quite a bit more complex than just parsing S-expressions, just because you need to support a bunch of built in types, as well as arbitrary exensions through 'tags
