The taunting tone isn't because they think it'll suck, it's because they think it will never exist at all. That's why they accuse it of being a scam (which it definitely is).

You're describing Brook's Law from The Mythical Man-Month. It was an observation of collaboration in software engineering specifically, and it cannot be applied universally to every industry. Really, anything that is highly parall

It is and that's great, but changing the license never goes over well, especially for developers in a large company. I would have loved to just pay for DD, but it's really hard to answer the question "this has been free for y

It's more than a setting, it's the first thing you are asked when you start it for the first time. I love that RD doesn't default to one or the other and make it harder to use one.

My reading was not that it must be entirely numeric, but that there is no rule that it won't be. As in, an attacker cannot make any assumptions about the characters in the randomly chosen password, such as "well it won't be a

It doesn't seem like much of a stretch to also stop allowing an individual to buy up multiple businesses like that. Starting lots of businesses is one thing, buying them up like Pokemon provides very little value to the world. John Smi

I like splitting it into competency and expertise. In my own personal experience, you can be competent with as many languages as you want, but most people can only hold expertise in a few at a time. Generally, your expertise is going to be

I hate to admit it, but I've been wondering for literally years how to pipe stdin to vim properly. You've changed my life.

That does assume your database only allows unix-style timestamps. MariaDB, for example, has "datetime", supporting dates between the year 1000 and 9999, distinct from null/zero. Unfortunately, datetime takes 8 bytes vs the 4

POSSIBLE VAGUE SPOILER I don't recall it actually being a plot device though. It effectively just served to drive Waterhouse's panic that someone was watching him, but then it sort of fizzles out. Unless I missed some implied de

IMO the key difference is that you were getting mail from political parties. I think the correct comparison would be if the US government were sending you mail instructing you on how to vote for the party already in power. There's a bi

> No laptop has had a lid as thick as a phone in decades Maybe I'm nitpicking, but I feel like this is a bit much of an exaggeration. I just measured my Pixel 3 (at its thickest point, the camera lens) and a 2011 Macbook Pro (includ

I'll bet sound-based skimming is even more feasible with the resurgence of mechanical keyboards (particularly among those most paranoid about these things)

Well, it would be more obvious. Right now, one of the first things the eyes are drawn to on a repository is the date of the last commit. I know I'm I have an internal bias against projects as soon as I see "Feb 23, 2016" as t

It's more likely to me that Facebook recognizes that the anti-vaxx community is one of the most active and most engaged segment of their users. Suddenly banning the topic they care most about is going to trigger a mass exodus of some o

My interpretation was that the issue is the use of Microsoft Office's dominant position to (allegedly) push Slack out of the market. They aren't providing one product that does two things (fax/phone), but rather they are prov

I think the OP intentionally didn't identify their website for privacy reasons. Don't you feel like this comment is kind of doxxing them?

That's only a goal though. Taking advantage of the natural beauty of the wood is not always the only goal, primary goal, or even a goal at all.

In a similar vein, I am a primarily a mac user today after growing up on windows and linux (personally and for developments that run on linux as the end-system). I am quite confident that already having an intimate familiarity with Unix is

I felt like the article spent sufficient time on the idea that the explanation could be that healthier people simply have higher vitamin D levels, and that the vitamin D itself is not the cause. At no point did they choose a side on that pa

The description of the defendant as "a grandma" is definitely meant to get you on a particular side of the story before even reading it.

And they were correct. If more than 10% of the population is using it, it should be supported, particularly if you are providing a service that can affect people heavily (like AP test submission).

I'd speculate that most of that can be attributed to the TomTom's status a local device. I don't think the trouble is doing this for one person, but rather doing it for thousands to millions of people simultaneously. Also, th

Not OP but... There isn't a scientific diagnosis, it's more of a self observation kind of thing right now. The reason is that there has been very little research into it so far. You may notice that the wikipedia article is extre

That's super interesting. I would imagine another benefit of that system is pattern detection. It would be much easier to notice a "beat" happening than with log messages, where you need to put things on a timeseries represen
