Well it is operated by the National Science Foundation. So we can hope that they have an interest in preserving the forest floor below. But then again, with budget cuts and the decreasing budgets that science and climate organizations have

Yeah I am surprised more people are ignoring this. If the two computer models have identical chips, then why does Apple even bother putting a fan in the pro? To me the fact that the Air is fanless and the pro has a fan would indicate to me

You are 100% correct that most credit unions have terrible credit cards. Unfortunately most of them also have terrible online banking. They also have terrible fraud detection. The balance that I have found works good for me is that I keep l

The argument is that farmers (or anyone else) actually do have a right to protect/defend their property (livestock are property). So when the government says that you can't protect your property if the thing killing it is a wolf,

To be fair, it was a proof of concept to see if it was possible. They did prove that it is possible. The rest of the details probably haven't been sorted out yet for how they plan to scale it. A terraforming project can easily take man

I live in Northern Washington, USA and routinely get kicked over to Canadian versions of large websites, including Google and occasionally Amazon. So all of these are imperfect systems. Your website appears to be recognizing me as from the

I've noticed that a lot of the younger crowd likes to over-embellish their titles. For example, maybe they worked on a team of 2 software developers and they call themselves "Senior Software Developer" because they had 2 year

I don't think any ATS will actually "reject" a resume on any grounds. HOWEVER, what really is the difference between "reject" and "ignore"? I think what essentially happens is that resumes get ranked and h

Let's also not forget that Apple also removed a $20-30 accessory from the box under the guise of saving the planet. Then not only decided to not pass that savings onto the customer, but actually secretively raised the price $30. I am n

I was surprised this wasn't mentioned in the article, but I have made several purchasing decisions for my company with the simple incentive to remove the "Powered By" branding, even though we weren't gaining anything fea

It definitely depends on the gas station. Some pump faster and some pump slower. 10 gal/min sounds about average. I like pumping at truck stops (Flying J, Loves, etc) because they tend to have faster pumps. I drive a pickup truck with

Yep, I too played Last of Us 2 on my v1-launch edition PS4 and I wasn't sure the console was going to survive to the end of the game. I was seriously concerned for the console's health. God of War is another game that put that con

Yes the noise is a big deal. Hopefully with the extra airflow accounted for in the console design and the massive fan, it should mean that it doesn't need to run full bore all the time and can help keep it quiet. I have an original PS4

Oh that is good to know. I wasn't aware that they supported NVME M2 SSDs. That actually is a really thoughtful addition that I wouldn't have expected.

So after the teardown, my biggest takeaway is that at least 90% of the size of this chunky piece of hardware is because of cooling. The entire system fits on a single PCB board. The rest of the size of the internals are a massive cooling fa

I think he is simply requesting threshold limits. So for example you could set a threshold of 2 - 5 nodes/droplets. This way you will always have at least 2 nodes running, even with zero traffic, because that is the minimum you request

Yeah I think working with CSS is like working with Databases. There are a lot of ways in databases to get the job done. At first glance it seems to work the way you want and even survives early testing or even deployment. It doesnt fall apa

I am one of those people who struggle to say no. Just this year, I consciously started saying "no" to people more frequently because I was getting overstretched with commitments and knew I needed to stop. So far I have never regre

The article doesn't immediately explain how people are changing the design of their icons, from kid-style doodles to flat black. --- I had to dig around to see how it was happening. So for anyone curious about it, here is the general p

Epic's stance is that Apple is being anti-competitive and monopolistic. Epic knows that they broke the rule and they anticipated that Apple would react to the breaking of the rule. What they are trying to prove is that Apple can retali

Exactly this. I use the GitHub CLI and website interchangably throughout the day. When making commit messages, I generally always link a commit to an issue. So the end of a commit message will generally say "Resolves #281" or &quo

Back in 2000, it was the wildwest. You actually did run tests on production and editing production code was not as insane of an idea as it is today. I don't think anyone (at least no one I worked for at the time) ran staging or dev ser

With Social SSO, you essentially are passing the trust from some random company getting hacked and revealing your re-used password, onto the shoulders of internet giants like Facebook, Google, Twitter, Apple, etc and putting the trust on th

That is why my mom and my grandma use "sign in with facebook". But if you have a Password Manager, then it is literally a single signon solution in and of itself, without the sacrifice of privacy.

I agree completely. The only real gripe I feel is that excessive padding. It is sort of like scrolling through Dribbble app mockups. The layouts look amazing as a mockup, but when you actually go to make or use the app it isn't as prac

You could also argue that significant cuts to costs of already-profitable Mac computers, could lead to significantly higher sales volumes. Greater marketshare also provides more value to shareholders meaning that shareholders still win, as

Same here. I dove into comments to figure out what I was looking at. I sort of figured it out by poking around but was looking for explanative context.
