I'm pretty much with you. The fraud and waste is infuriating. But, frankly, what is the point of this program? At the risk of not being skeptical, can't we say that we conquered lunar orbit in the 1960s? I don't understand wh

I don't know anything about this program, so here's a basic question: why does manufacturing need to be easier? Are they intending to mass produce these craft?

How reliable is this information? Just out of curiosity, do we know if the honeycomb method worked before it was deemed too labor intensive? Because I'm told that using this block method results in chunks blowing out. I'm also hav

I stumbled across this video a few years ago and recently found it again from my history. It's got under 30,000 views and about 500 likes. Just sharing because, in my opinion, it deserves some attention. In about 30 minutes you'll

The best networking intro I've ever seen is this DICOM presentation [video](youtube.com)

I don't think that you can practically expect to tax speech.

It's not apparent that this apple mdm will do internal distribution or just provide for encouraging a set of installed apps already on the app store. If it does, that would be the biggest reason for me to jump to the free product.

We're talking about an American bill. I'm glad your government is abiding by its laws, though.

I agree with everything you said when considering your caveat that the government needs to act lawfully and in good faith. I also appreciate that you have probably dealt directly with similar matters. Since the government has demonstrated t

They're not equally bad. You can disagree, but you'll have to convince me by argument. I've already laid out mine.

Same. Proof of eligibility is furnished on delivery, just like it is now.

Microsoft is not going to let you continue using Windows 10 under any circumstances.

I don't understand the fascination with pretending. System A is bad. System B is worse. System B theoretically shouldn't exist yet it does and there's nothing you can do about it, so now you're advocating for B. What&#x2

A simple question with a simple answer: as it has done since the inception. If a kid wants to sneak some porn, he's going to have to hide his digital nudeymag under his digital mattress, and when it's discovered, he'll have t

I get all of these hypotheticals, but, again, we know that it's not true. The government routinely collects and shares information that it shouldn't. We can't talk about it like it doesn't because it was designed not to.
166.
by ibejoeb 7mo ago
Right. It's theoretical. We have hard proof that it's not, though. The second part is that the government can compel it. I am free to ignore Zuck.

by ibejoeb 7mo ago
This is better framed as something like "know your actor." The goal is to have everything attributable to a natural person. Nobody wants that, though, so we have say that porn isn't for kids. (Now, there's a lot of disag

That's correct, but what does a driver license have to do with it? A state-issued driver license is one document that can serve as identification. There are plenty of others, including those that are solely for identification. Are you

When I hear this argument ("better the government do it than a private company") I recoil. The government is sovereign, only accepts lawsuits at its discretion, and can use violence to get its way. We also know for a fact that it

For recording instantaneous events, that's usually sufficient. It's often not enough for scheduling. You can always present UTC or any other zone relative to some other zone, but you need to know that zone. Maybe you're going

From his Oxford bio: "To assist in efficient look-up of words in a dictionary, he discovered the well-known sorting algorithm Quicksort." I always liked this presentation. I think it's equally fine to say "invented"

Children and young students, certainly. Adult students: almost 100%. If writing is your job, then by definition, and your problem is more often finding something to say, not writing it.
173.
by ibejoeb 7mo ago
That's a tiny fraction. Most people write because they're told to write.

It's also just one more facet. The problem already exists for anything else that we already have, like formatters, linters, syntax highlighters, language servers... And it's also not an exclusive choice. If you want to use a dumb

Sure. Presumably you could have localized source presentation, too. But, yeah, I think a personalized development environment with all of your preferences preserved and that don't interfere with whatever the upstream standard is would

Yeah I suppose that's true, too. You've got to do the conversion at some point. I don't know that you get any benefit of doing storing the text, doing the transformation to support whatever ops (deconflicting, etc.) and then

I've moved two clients to colo. Dramatic cost savings. So many systems only use VMs and a few basic cloud features. Everyone knows this, but just to make the point, you can still use certain cloud products (cloud storage for example) j

Interesting angle. Everyone has already pointed out that there are backups basically everywhere, and from an information standpoint, shaving off a day (or whatever) of edits just to get to a known-good point is effectively zero cost. But I
