For a company with as much weight in the industry as Microsoft, it would be trivial to ensure their domains don’t end up on spam lists. Heck, because of outlook.com, they control have the spam lists themselves. The real reason for multiple

Not all ARM systems are created equally. For example many of the 32bit ARM processor didn’t even support floating point ops. So they’d have to be calculated in software. Aside from various different variations of ARM, I’ve worked several va

“Portable”, in the context of how it was used, generally refers to software using platform agnostic idioms. If you have to write extensive patches to actually port the software, then it’s only “portable” in the same sense that any software

That’s actually how the cons work in Star Trek (and many other SciFi shows too). What officers do at the con once the ship is in motion is monitor ships systems and check for any external changes to the environment (such as other ships comi

The problem was Trump marketed himself as being anti-establishment (like many far-right parties do) and people fell for that crap. It’s the same problem time and time again. people conflate regulation with “the establishment” when in fact i

I understand it just well. And if people only used vaping as a substitute for smoking then I’d be in your camp too. But that isn’t what’s happening. New people who never smoked are vaping too. And we don’t know what the long term (30+ year

How long ago was that? Was this when smart doorbells were brand new tech? I could understand peoples misconception back when such door bells weren’t known about so the default assumption people might have is that it was an intercom.

I don’t think anyone is fooled into thinking people are home when the home owner “answers the door” via their internet connected doorbell. If anything, I’d say that’s a bigger give away than someone not answering a traditional door bell giv

Which comes back to my original complaint: vaping has grown so exponentially that there are people vaping who were never old enough to have started smoking.

I don’t really think it’s fair to compare vaping to drinking coffee. But there are plenty of people who have given up coffee for health reasons. And it’s much easier to cut down on drinking coffee than vaping (from a dependency standpoint)

That’s a little like celebrating the reduction of heroin usage while ignoring that fentanyl addition has sky rocketed. While I do agree that vaping is better than smoking. The real crux of the problem is the addition that needs treating. Ce

I honestly still find vaping obnoxious and I’m clearly not alone here because most places that ban smoking also ban vaping too. And weird for someone to talk about vaping like it’s a good thing when we already know there are adverse health

Then that would make your comment off topic from what everyone else was talking about.

Yeah. I remember that too. It was such an odd thing to make at schools and kids clubs. But that’s through the lens of modern life.

Unfortunately we aren’t getting a handle on it because those friendly tobacco companies instead just pushed people to vaping instead.

My point is that Java isn’t going to be the application that sends your machine into swap hell. People are so narrow minded about programming on this forum. They talk as if only Rust fills the void between unsafe C and node.js behemoths. Bu
