Every situation is different, and sometimes it's prudent to write a kludge to fix something now , while other times it's more prudent to take your time developing a long term solution. There's even the middle ground of monke

I didn't dig too deeply so maybe I missed it but your site doesn't mention how this works from a technical standpoint, i.e. do both reporters and devs need to have this extension installed, or just the reporters? If just the repor

I recently used a website to do something that required 2FA. They texted me a code, and the text included some wording to the effect of "we will never ask for this information!" The website then asked me to enter that information

It would be great if this could be adapted to provide automated "spotting" for gymnasts by detecting when they were about to fall, safely stopping them from spinning mid-air, and slowly lowering them to the ground, all with jets o

Yes, but still don't throw away the original tapes, because if a better (read: more accurate/sensitive) tape head ever becomes available, you'll want to use it to upgrade your capture device and then re-scan the original tape

One of my garage door springs snapped unexpectedly while my housemate was opening the garage door. I'm glad nobody was under the door at the time since it slammed so hard it put a bend in the bottom section.
