One could say the same for airports though. The solution to that is either car rentals or better public transit.

Sure! Let me clean up the code a bit and write a quick post about it, should be able to get it done this weekend.

Out of curiosity, how does TAIL behave with updates? For example, say that I have a table foo that has a single row, if that row's contents is updated, would I get two updates (a deletion and an insert)?

Do you mean makers in the sense of hobbyists that make stuff with 3D printers/Arduino/etc. or makers as in people who make stuff in general. I believe the former is the more common usage here, and for the latter "builders&quo

It really depends what one is building. As you point out, in your example, testing is very useful since it allows you to be confident that your code works. Some of the backlash around testing is about testing things that really shouldn&#x27

I agree. I don't think any of the kernel developers ever signed up for reviewing malicious patches done by people who managed to sneak their research project past the ethics board, and it's not really fair to them to have to deal

I'd disagree. Organizations are collections of actors, some of which may have malicious intents. As long as the organization itself does not condone this type of behavior, has mechanisms in place to prevent such behavior, and has actua

Games like DotA 2 that still get attention from Valve have all kinds of broken things. Bots were endemic in certain MMR brackets for a while (might still be, no idea), and they were pretty straightforward to detect. Multiple kinds of griefi

As frustrating as it is, not a whole lot of people in the video game industry really care about that, and for those that do, they can't really do that much about it. Once a game is sold, there's not much of an incentive to keep it

There are some games that run peer to peer connections, and for those to work, they require inbound connections to work. As far as the security of the average game codebase is concerned, I'd say it's pretty terrible as nobody real

Walking is pretty safe compared to running or cycling, though. The article points out that no, you won't change body composition by walking, but it's a good starting point for people whose current activity level is walking between

They're not irreconcilable positions though. One can support authors having rights over the distribution of their works, while believing at the same time that the different DRM technologies are an overreach.

Keep in mind that the monitor will be pretty far from your eyes at those dimensions. For me, when rotated, the monitor extends from below waist height to the top of my head when standing straight at a standing desk. It's a bit silly th

It still has a slant to its reporting, though. It's very neoliberal and almost always calls for deregulation, free markets, free trade, and globalization. It's pretty factual if you ignore that slant though.

It depends on how you want to read it. If you read it carefully, it says something like this: The cars have hardware that Tesla believes will be sufficient for full self-driving. They're building a system that is designed to conduct tr

Many dogs actually do stay leashed in cities and are only free to run in dog parks and in areas where they're allowed to. Those dogs seem fine. If some pet owners decide that the rules aren't for them, that's their choice. Pa
