I waited until I was mostly blind in my left eye and the right was maybe 6-9 months behind, assuming it continued to progress consistent with the left. Driving at night had already been out-of-the-question for a while, and soon I would be u

I doubt it's a good idea to cut off 40% of your users. They probably need to do more to resolve the issues keeping people from updating. (Well, they should have been doing this all along.) $dayjob issued me a Windows 11 laptop. I asked

A type system in programming languages is a way to express and enforce compile time constraints (conventionally, anyway). zig's type system is pretty straightforward, but its comptime is very powerful and, among other things, can enfor

There's just no way for Apple to maintain and run comprehensive test suites for all the different software platforms out there, even "popular" ones. That's why they release betas early -- that gives each project an oppor

I do understand about enterprise decision-making. I think it's the pengiun approach to risk management -- they know they need to jump in the water to get where they need to go, but they don't know where the orcas are. So they jost

It's really not clear on what basis you brush away their reasons. Just calling them "very weak" with nothing to support it doesn't mean much.

Left vs. right is the wrong way to think of this. It’s corruption vs. integrity and justice. Let’s be on the side of integrity and object to pay-to-play and political pardons, regardless of the party of the administration. There’s nothing l

The issue isn’t the absolute number of pardons — they aren’t doled out randomly — it is the reason for the pardons. It appears Trump gives pardons to allies, and one straight forward way to become his ally is send him money.

Not that it makes it any less frustrating to you, but it's probably triggered by something relatively rare/obscure in your environment. Probably all you can do is keep poking your IT support and hope it goes up the line until some

You should look up the definition of oligarch, think about it a bit, and see if you can't relate it to the power structures at play here.

I don't think it's a good idea for the US government to dictate (or attempt to dictate) specific deals and specific terms for those deals. I think, in the context of something like a financial crisis, there could be a "this i

Besides using the word "cache" what does this have to do with caching? It looks like it's just storing the session in postgres/redis. Caching implies there's some slower/laggier/more remote primary storage

Making flying even crappier doesn't seem like a good idea to me. Regulations that put a floor on how crappy airlines can be should be pretty neutral on competition since all the airlines would have the same rules. That's not to sa

IMO, simplicity is the number one feature. The developer should spend their attention on the problem space as much as possible, and on the solution space as little as possible. There's a complexity cost to adding features, and while ea

I think the problem the practical programmer has with a statement like this is the implication that only certain languages require some basic understanding and a bit of discipline to avoid CVEs. Rust's model has a strict model that eff

I think executives decide to rebrand when they want to be seen as doing something but have no ideas on what that should be. It's just something that's visible, seems easy, and has a process that makes one feel like an executive. I

I know what you mean, but name-calling has got to be one of the worst ways to call for some decorum. It just leads to flame wars. (Be the change you want to see, and all that.)
