From hand-waving attempts to connect modern AR-15 owners to a lynching that took place 3 generations ago, to technical nonsense like this: >>> They ... required no particular expertise to shoot or physical strength to carry. They w

This doesn't surprise me. I would say I hear things that sound like gunshots (maybe 50% certain) multiple times per day. Of the times when I'm 100% sure they're gunshots, it's very very rare that a crime ends up being re

They are definitely going to scrutinize the marriage. I don't know if it'll be as intense but I don't see why it wouldn't be. The adjustment of status process generally puts the burden of proof on the applicant, so it&#x

Probably impossible unless you talk extraordinarily fast. 1 billion seconds is over 30 years but most of the numbers would take 3-4 seconds to pronounce.

I don't get the problem. They are going to tune their search engine to return their version of these recordings? Who cares? They're not going to be able to do that with popular music. Only public domain stuff.

I don't know your process or what your role entails but if you're responsible for output then you should be part of the process. We do scrum and my manager joins standup every day. Are tickets taking longer than estimated, or are

Of course you're not doomed! Don't worry. You could always do a side project that uses containerization and cloud hosting. My first dev job was over 15 years in bare-metal hosting (RHEL) and this was one of my biggest weaknesses t

AFAIK the plaintiff would have to show that it's not true. That wouldn't be anywhere near enough but would be a start. I think they would also have to show that either the defendant knew that it wasn't true, or was reckless a

>>> Depends on whether you think true statements made in good faith with the goal of reducing harm can be defamatory. IANAL, but legally that's easy: no. Under US law truth is a solid defence against accusations of defamation.

Can't read the article. Does he mean it's a problem in search of a solution then? Or does he mean it's "the exact opposite of a solution, in search of a problem" (in other words, a problem in search of a problem)?

I'm seeing a lot of replies along the lines of "what does Canada have to offer me as a US tech worker?". I gather from the tone and from the fact that this is even being asked that these people are US-born, or at the very lea

The food comment is frankly bizarre. The food you get in Whole Foods is at best similar to what you find in a petrol station in Europe. The US has the worst food in the developed world.

Thanks, that's a more nuanced understanding of it than I had. Still, when I try to think about keeping that model in sync with the real underlying model, it scares me. It sounds to me like there is still bound to be some correlation

The issue I'm talking about is allowing clients to make arbitrary queries via GQL. Maybe I've misunderstood it, but that's how I've seen it used before. If clients can do that, then they need to know about the model. And
