I'm not told to do it, but I don't write hardly any of the code in the repo. So when I have to go inspect one of their source files, which I do many times per day, then it gets me. Usually if I'm on some VM that doesn'

They don't "enforce" it, but all the code written by the two largest contributors always has it. Its a startup, so those two contributors wrote the majority of the codebase.

Very interesting exploit. Makes me feel good that I disable modelines because my company always sets columns=96, however I usually open multiple files with :vsp and I have to manually change the columns to what my terminal actually is. I w

It should be noted that both those three wheeled motorcycles lean while turning, making them functionally very similar to two wheeled motorcycles in operation. This makes them much more stable compared to a non-leaning three wheeler.

The 30ms figure is just the earth->satellite->earth part though. It still has to go through terrestrial wires to the server, and then be processed, and back through wires to the transmitter.

Imagine all the swim-up bars though!

Yeah, and middle eastern terrorists like to use Toyota trucks. Why? Because they are well built trucks and the parts are cheap.

Yes, there are some people that by all measures should do well in college, but just don't. That is going to happen in any population of people. What I was talking about was students that I met early on (i.e. in the dorms or 2nd year)

Not sure what dictionary you got that out of, but to me "tact" means to tell someone something in a less abrasive way, or politely. Tact is about how the information is presented, not the content of it.

Every time I find out about a movie outside of netflix, then go check to see if it is available to stream, it is not available. Seriously every single time. I look up movies as a joke at this point. Having said that, I still think its wo

Let me clarify: There are people out there that just should not go to college. It would be a waste of time and money for them. These are the people that need to take a look at alternate career paths, but those same people were in the

Philosophically I would disagree that lying assumes malice. We don't really have a word in english to describe "lying without malice", and I suspect the reason why is because we don't recognize a significant enough diff

I got my EE/CS degree and currently work in software development. I was talking about people I knew from my first few years at college and my high school experience. I was still lied to, but it worked great for me because what I want

I remember in middle school and high school we were told in no uncertain terms that we should all get 4 year college degrees because they gave the highest lifetime earnings. My high school was lucky enough to have an auto shop in it with a

Yeah, that one seemed particularly prophetic. Seeing as this was written in 1996, was that a real concern then? I'm too young to have known the early internet.

There are some things out there where people just want to see the relevant information. Nothing more, nothing less. A lot of companies are trying to dress up the pig when all we want is to eat the bacon. Weather reports for example. The

You should, but it looks like triplebyte was explicitly ignoring that because it would add too many dimensions to the graph and those benefits are hard to value. Stock options are not a liquid asset, and their value can change wildly and u

Raise your hand if you thought we would be talking about the font that is on a credit card. That my friends is the power of Apple marketing. Its another show of wealth that upper middle class people will get to feel rich.

Yes. Is that so hard to fathom? I think it is the excess of it that gets me, like people paying for fancy bottled water in places that have very good tap water. Yeah, they derive pleasure from that "fancy" water, but it disgust

I could legitimately see middle class homeowners in the suburbs paying for this. I think my mom would want to buy the pictures, but my dad would talk her out of it. I don't know why, but it disgusts me that people would pay for that.

This article reeks of blaming new technology for killing an industry (it didn't), and resistance to change (i.e. things were so much better when I was young). He actually (sort-of) acknowledges this in the last paragraph when he menti

Why don't they just send a camera into the upper atmosphere attached to a weather balloon? It probably would cost waaaay less.

I think it does. I got an EE degree at a state university, and couldn't imagine how anyone could just learn all that on their own. There is so much abstract/esoteric knowledge and skills you need to develop. Having a guided step

Ok, so how would "forced time off" be the middle ground between unlimited time off and tracked time off. Isn't "forced time off" just tracked time off but they require you to take it? The only problem it solves is

Honestly a big feature is the removable battery too. People who live in cities can't just plug in their car/scooter when they get home because they don't have garages. Being able to pull the battery pack out and charge it i

Eh, I think most people can understand gliding pretty easily. What would really mess with their heads is a helicopter losing its engine and autorotating down to safety.

Yes, in the case of flying on a commercial flight they already have your identity. The parent that I was responding to assumed the more general case though: > How can you have privacy concerns in a completely public space?
