Unfortunately, that’s not how addiction works. It’s hard to punish addiction out of anyone. Different kids have different nature and nurture, and for some kids, consequences don’t matter. I would have judged parent’s in this situation befor

Imagine having unrestricted access to meth. For the vast majority of the population, they’d continue to be productive members of society. For some, limited use might help them function better. But for a few, it would completely decimate the

You are obviously not a parent. I lock down devices, lock down my network, then the public school gives my kid a laptop with access to nearly everything I’ve tried to filter. Even if I can successfully monitor it at home, the device is in t

That’s how it originally worked, but Apple has moved away from PDF to other native GPU frameworks for drawing. Now window content is stored as bitmaps instead of redrawing vector instructions.

I had 192MB in 1999. Coming from my 4MB 486dx, I didn’t know how it could get better! I was running a 1920x1200 true color desktop and could even play half life at 1024x768 high settings with my Rage 128! Now you need GBs just to get into W

Once I ran into this it became hard to treat strings “normally” in any situation or, alternatively, I’d force hard encoding requirements in the domain. Regardless, handling grapheme clusters properly is hard and easy to get wrong. I recentl

Every time I’ve bought something from Japan its condition is underreported. It’s always a pleasant surprise compared to US sellers that typically over promise when describing the condition. When I put things up for sale o try to do the same

30 years ago BSDs already had non-blocking /dev/random (there was no difference to /dev/urandom). OpenBSD especially wouldn’t have shipped something known insecure. Blocking random probably caused more issues (DOS, rando

Back in the dinosaur days (around 2005) I was working on a PHP CMS used by a big registrar. Occasionally page loads would block for seconds. It appeared randomly (natch) and was relatively unreproducible. I couldn’t find any good way to deb

This is neat. I haven’t looked into it, but I would think relative offsets could still be an issue, but it seems there must be some translation layer/mmu since the codegen will be different sizes anyway. This would impact jump tables a

It’s a peak demand charge. They look at the highest usage hour from 4-7pm every weekday. The highest number adds a charge billed at $19/kw demand. https://www.aps.com/en/Residential/Service-Plans/Compare-

As someone with a demand charge, let me disagree. The worst single hour out of 60-70 throughout the month is used and in my market it’s about $19/kw demand. Turn on the AC once during that period, $80. Happen to have to have an oven or
