My company has liability insurance. I'm indirectly liable, in that I can lose my job, however. If I were a contractor, I would also buy liability insurance.

I have had the thought that there is something wrong, that I can access nearly any song of my choice on YouTube, with the small penalty of skipping an advert after 5 seconds. Many of the adverts aren't even for products I'm intere

I raised my eyebrow at a statement in one of the comments in the PR. "This is so that a harasser won't be able to use a meritocracy argument, which as we all know, is dehumanizing..." I don't follow this at all. A merito

A fraction of the population of the UK are on twitter, but it is used to drive media narratives. I'm skeptical, as it feels like the narratives are more to do with they are cheap to write about, rather than meaningful journalism. For e

I had to learn Spring and Hibernate. Spring had good documentation that you can read on an ereader. It's also very mature, so there's lots of help on Stackoverflow. Hibernate was a bit more difficult, but Vlad Mihalcea has improve

In my eyes, it was the introduction of WiFi and home routers that made Linux-based systems accessible to home users. Prior to that, I remember having a lot of issues with "soft modems" that required Windows drivers to work. WiFi a

Modern PHP application development doesn't really use the "deploy PHP scripts to a folder" model any more. The more likely scenario is that a framework with a front controller is used, which is invoked by php-fpm, proxied by

I don't think the downvotes are for a good reason, as we are speaking within the context of PRs. If you're the maintainer, then you already have knowledge of how the system works. The PR just has to fit into your mental map of how

That can't be deduced from my argument at all. Covid 19 results in mild symptoms for most young people. In comparison, the 1918 pandemic was most deadly if you were young, or old. There is a qualitative difference between the diseases.
