I see articles like this from time to time, and from my own experience, can't help but wonder how much of said inability to cover a $400 emergency isn't self-inflicted. My personal anectdatum: I was not smart with my money in my y

Hmm, should perhaps this be worthy of a major version number bump? Yes, it's not as large or as breaking of a change as the 2.7->3.0 transition, but by removing modules from the standard library, backwards compatibility is being b

I will welcome a workable solution to the robocall problems. In the interim, they provide a source of entertainment. The most common ones I get are from The Credit Card Company to tell me that because of my excellent credit history, I have

For shits and giggles, I installed Snapchat just to play with this, after seeing some friends having fun with it. For background, I am guy, but with long hair and a beard. I wouldn't look out of place in a mosh pit at a heavy metal sho

In the conclusion the author says he considers T f() to be prettier than T f(void). I personally prefer the look of T f(void) to T f(); the former is explicit to both the programmer and the compiler that this function is not supposed to tak

Interesting. But since, these adversarial images have to be tuned to the recognition engine in question, what keeps the authors of the recognition engines in question from updating their engines or models or algorithms from recognizing and

I find that remark towards the end of the article interesting; of him being happy if someone came along and did the cool things that Linux can do, but leaner and meaner by getting rid of the accumulated cruft of the decades-dead architectur

Which was part of my point, above. Birds are incapable of tasting capsaicin at all. So they'd have to be hit with a dose thereof unrealistically larger than anything they'd ever encounter in their natural environment before it beg

That's not a crazy idea; there are plants which rely on the mobility birds for reproduction and spreading. Take peppers for example. The seed pods are attractive to birds due to their bright colors. The capsaicin that deters many insec

One of the things they do is man the call centers in which the call agents are only allowed to: a) open tickets b) follow a script intended for people who didn't do basic troubleshooting before calling tech support c) be very sorry tha

Hmm, fn before_exec strikes me as a thing that should be gotten rid of entirely in favor of unsafe fn before_exec if the former indeed turned out to actually have the potential to cause undefined behavior. But that'd probably be a brea

Eh, I don't see the point. IMO, this already falls under the mission of the Air Force. I'm glad the senate is skeptical, and would be worried if they weren't; it's a silly idea. I'd much rather have a Congress that

I think that's a bit of an unfair characterization of tptacek's stance. Make no mistake, he does hate it, and does post against it when he can, but instead of (implicitly) painting him as (unreasonably) extreme about it, why not d

The Republican party typically has been the party which favors the interests of businesses; governmental regulation of various industries (expensive and needless interference from their perspective) is anathema to them. Well, a law forbiddi

While I generally agree with this article, and turned down the transmit power on my AP in my apartment to be neighborly, coordinating this across the many APs present in a residential area is tricky. In my experience, many of your neighbors

Having done both art painting with acrylic and building painting with acrylic-based paints, I don't know that I completely agree that art acrylics are better for wall coating than wall paints. No small part of the higher price for art

Interesting to see that this is not a normal distribution. The modal salary is closer to $135k, the median $146k, and as we see labelled, the mean at $149. Not the idealized bell curve taught about in statistics class. That long tail on the

There's another factor that I think the OP fails to account for and that's washing produce before cooking and consumption. It's a habit I've been in for as long as I can recall cooking with produce, which I probably pick
