The point is that the sticker would have to be taken off deliberately. If you are caught taking a photo, you can't claim you just forgot about the rules. You broke the rules on purpose and depending on the club they either get very ang

I have no idea why they bother but the sticker on my post box and those of some neighbors were removed the third time now in the last 2 years. I know that they didn't remove them themselves because I talked with them and gave them new

I have exactly the same experience. It began in my early thirties during a few stressful months. It stayed for about a year but then it was slowly getting better and was gone a few month later. All cures seemed like snail oil to me, or like

For anyone who wants to avoid storing the Keepass database in the cloud store I can recommend Syncthing. For extra security I use a key file in addition to a password which I manually transfer between devices.

"the story in my head" sounds really weird to me as a non-native speaker. Is that a common phrase? I guess "The story in my head is that you asked me to send that status email ..." means that this is what they remember.

Also if I type two characters, I expect to see two characters - and not a single character that is somehow not aligned with every other character's columns. And because it is not aligned, the space left and right seems to be off. Every

If your goal is to lose weight, it seems like diet coke is the better choice short-term (because it has much less calories) and normal coke the better choice long-term (because according to studies, NSS don't help long term and to redu

Even brand new kitchens get replaced if new owners don't like the style. Just like perfectly painted walls get repainted in different colors all the time or like some people move around furniture to get a "new room feeling".

I would also say "Mainboard" has been the established German word for motherboard for a long time. I almost never hear anyone call it Motherboard anymore in German (and even less the actual German word "Hauptplatine") Ev

On the other hand I've seen test suites where each test consisted of 98% boilerplate that got copy&pasted every single time. Depending on the tests setup, they would mix and match hundredths of lines from other tests, which sometim

Using quirky metaphors and swearing can be problematic for people who aren't fluent in english though. I think the removal of all greeting lines and thank you comments is a bit over the top, but generally pushing a consistent, imperson

"Closed as duplicate" has nothing to do with effort or question quality. The only thing that matters is whether the linked questions/answers contain the solution.

I think they mean "test code is documentation". For example if there's a unit test that expects an error for a certain input, it serves as documentation that this kind of input is not allowed. It not always feasible to docum

That just seems to shift all concerns from one device to another. Is AppleTV or similar devices so much better when it comes to privacy? Or is the selling point just that they don't show ads?

Where's the oxymoron then? Open-source can be monetized. Marketing can help with that. I don't see any issues with the term "open-source marketing".

Even without millisecond precision, you could embed multiple assets that are served with slightly different timestamps to encode a unique identifier.
