If it is state law - and I suspect it is - then the answer is probably even more nuanced.

I've been the crime boss of Armageddon multiple times since I started playing in high-school around 2005. Most recently created a character in 2016 after a 5-year break. Back to a break, prolly for longer this time. Duties include shak

But you never actually cited any law. Is this in a Restatement? Contract law is typically state level.

I hope you look into updating libinput first. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput Let's not add more not invented here without at least doing some solid good faith effort to join the existing efforts.

This has existed for a while: https://www.bountysource.com/ It hasn't been a tremendous success story so far - but these things take time.

If you donate, there's no guarantee that everyone else is donating. So you end up supporting the free riders ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-rider_problem ). Which is a disincentive to donate.

It's not really clear if the author views this as an improvement. To me, it seems like needless churn - another reason I'd like to get off Mac.

Some people must be passionate to be good - or at least I need that passion to be more than average. Also, skill is an arms race. You do have to be better than the alternatives to get hired.

Thanks for linking that discussion. I'm surprised that you didn't get acknowledgment of the UX issues there, and I'm pretty sure there are people who would like to see the UX situation improve. It just takes work... this rele

I've experienced the opposite. The fact that this release highlights a new 'nix' command and deprecates a bunch of ugly and verbose baggage shows the commitment to UX.

I was just looking at a similar topic yesterday - trying to find a Wayland-compatible replacement to tools such as xdotool or xcape (see e.g. https://askubuntu.com/questions/956640/equivalent-to-xdotool... ). Peopl

Meaning: if I break the feature, will I know about it from a test failure? Basically, you put the customer first. Make sure your features are tested such that they can't fail without a failing test before writing lower-level tests. Thi

And so your tests actually demonstrate working code!

The ones I glanced at appear to test output without much mocking, which isn't as tightly coupled as unit tests commonly end up.

Are you suggesting that the Linux kernel is unit tested? Last I checked, I couldn't find them. And discussions online say the same (e.g., https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9543336 and https://news.ycombin

Maybe it should be a thing for the gun range then. Require people to attach them there and require that they leave them there. In general, if people are shooting outside in my neighborhood, I'd rather be woken up. That's not the t

If someone is high-functioning, why is a diagnosis necessary? Why pathologize personality? I think that was part of what the removal of Asperger's was about. It's unclear if there was any effective therapy for what many don't
