> Canadian federal governments are generally comprised of whichever party received the largest share of votes nationally. This is not always the case in the US. I'm going to disagree with you on this. In Canada, the general votes us

Wow, what a twist. I'd say that doesn't really apply though because not only is consensual BDSM invisible as a minority classification, it actively tries to remain hidden in public. It is inappropriate to display such things to pe

As bad as our ISP situation is in Canada, there are a few smaller ones like teksavvy which will make your ipv6 assignment static of you call in and request it.

What do you lose by doing this though? I think a monopoly is just as dangerous as unregulated/unrestrained capitalism. I don't think taking the easy way is the right way.

gTLDs are safer than ccTLDs, especially the ccTLDs that were sold off to a private company like .io was. The contracts that provide the ccTLDs are almost empty of any guarantees whereas the gTLDs have to adhere to strict requirements.

Maybe you find it cringeworthy, but I find it on topic and very relatable. The role of a speaker is to make their material easy to digest for their audience. For this audience in particular, I would argue that this example is statistically

Sometimes it is important that you're seen as right. If there is a disaster coming then it's absolutely important that the other person sees you as right. Even at the cost of the relationship. It's really about weighing wheth

Unfortunately a good council could easily say even with all this data, they couldn't predict the future and prevent the sexual assault from happening. Luckily though, they did have this data to inform themselves of what really happened

I think it's more relevant how much each group drives. Everyone I know who drives a lot espouses how important 4WD/AWD is, whereas the people who barely drive at all aren't willing to pay so much more for it.

Correction: you want to be in the vehicle with the most crushable distance of material. That way the force is spread out more over time and there's less going through your body at any moment.

Because even though it's supposed to be about developers, every news site and tech blog is listening in as well. These bits and pieces are for them, because everyone wants to be ahead of the game. They are just throwing a bone to scave

But if they did so then they would be in violation of the Waypoint license and then the court wouldn't uphold the contract because it violated the law. It would also indicate bad faith so the judge would make them pay costs and more.

Can't these problems be solved with another layer like signing with a pubkey where the private is thrown away after issuance? And then maybe some error correcting algorithm to avoid forgetful users?

Interesting, so you're saying the union is most concerned with hours and making sure that none of the hours that would be directed to union members as per their collective bargaining agreement are redirected elsewhere. Are your union m

This is my problem with police in general. They supposedly have all sorts of special privileges yet it's so easy to impersonate them. The only way to reliably identify a cop is by calling 911. Especially if you're driving. So I do

For child porn it is still grounds for a search warrant. Which they'll execute and return your stuff after not finding anything (six months later minimum). Notice and notice is about copyright infringement only. It's just a pretty

Why do we need to use mount and pivot_root when we have chroot available? Am I missing something here about why those can't be used?

No because the supply is fixed in time

I find headers with templates are always the problem. So external template instantiation and pre compiled headers can solve a lot of first time compilation slowness. Pimpl is more for reducing how much you have to change headers forcing a r

This is the essence of Dale Carnegie's argument why we should just do the right thing. It's always a hedge against losing reputation and that is always more valuable than the marginal benefits gained from the wrong thing.

Am I the only one eagerly waiting on postgres to transition away from the process per connection model? It seems like that is the only glaring con for postgres compared to SQL server. This would really put the nail in coffin for MySQL and o

Try your local university cs department. They'd love a piece of history like that. Mine has a few of those pieces in a display case for everyone to come and see.

I know that the underlying backbaze b2 is strongly consistent because of how they shard it. You get a different download endpoint depending on your bucket corresponding to the data centre. Not sure how they implemented their S3 endpoint tho
