Type 1 diabetes is not preventable, and it makes it necessary to take insulin. If there were a clear path to eliminate that 20% disparity, why shouldn't that path be pursued?

This seems like moving the goalposts though. "Much more" is not "rounds to zero". Software is just expensive, period - to build, and to maintain.

Absolutely agree with this. The Internet-as-appplication-platform has never been better, from a developer's perspective. From a user's perspective, it's maybe a bit more nuanced... I'm tired of websites trying to get aro

You're quite right - I mistyped.

Indeed... imo, an aided climb* of 600ft/day is not "climbing El Capitan", that's just quite a lot of rope climbing. *edit - should have written jumaring

I wish there were a bit more explanation provided on this paragraph: > "Most are backed on a one-to-one basis by mainstream assets like the U.S. dollar, while others are collateralized by baskets of cryptocurrencies. Some use algori

I don't think the claims are primarily being made by the Falun Gong, and I don't think it's fair to dismiss a religion you don't agree with as "an insane cult". There are no credible refutations of the findings

Sounds like the premise of Aurora! Which definitely turned me off the idea of multi generational starship travel. It's not ethical.

Not to belittle your other points, but I'd say separating migrant parents from their kids is pretty damn low.

The "server" part of the "server side rendering" is necessarily on premises, and likely to move to... something? Soon? I deliberately wrote it as thin as possible, because it will need to be rewritten, without question.

Small, internal business apps have been a good use case for me. I'm working with few dev resources (me, myself & I), so the "batteries included" approach of Angular is nice, and knowing it's always served over a fast

It seems most likely to be a mix of ignorance, greed, and incompetence on the part of a fairly small number of Boeing employees and executives. Meriting prison time? Probably, actually. Meriting mass murder?... I mean, really?

Are you proposing that an armed militia hunting down Boeing employees is somehow going to improve the situation??

I'm still at the "hating it" stage, but most of my Hibernate experience has been with older versions of Java (5 & 6), or with trying to deal with other people's HQL sprinkled all over. It's a lot of rope to hang

I don't disagree that perhaps software developers should be on board with a code of ethics, but this is a false dichotomy between the decisions of doctors/lawyers when providing services, and the decisions of technology companies

Definitely not a lawyer, and I know a lot of places are moving to photo enforcement of parking anyway, but it's hard for me to understand why a chalk mark on a tire would be determined an "unreasonable" search by the court.

This is awesome. Always great to read about someone's hard work and dedication paying off. I love a good onion, but am not within the 48 lower states, so unfortunately I'll have to wait for the international delivery option :(

Interesting - I wonder what's responsible for seemingly large variance in the data set between 2005 and 2008, or if it's just an anomaly. More importantly, hopefully this data can be used to increase pressure on governments to str

This is a fantastic overview - thanks for taking the time to write it. I think probably a lot of the negatives seem more to do with the "for profit education" angle (not rejecting obviously disruptive or incapable candidates) than

If you don't mind elaborating, what was your experience like with coding boot camp? I entered the profession "traditionally" (via a comp sci degree) so I don't know much about the boot camp experience.

This isn't necessarily the case. Bringing that cable an extra ~300m and providing the ONT hardware for each house is quite expensive for the small number of customers that might benefit in a rural area. Terminating at fast wireless and

This is awesome - thanks for sharing your story, and that photo. I'm sure that the detailed studies performed by you and others will be invaluable going forward - both with remembering and healing, and eventually perhaps, rebuilding.

What a loss. Absolutely heartbreaking. I spend a good deal of my time in a (far far less beautiful) cathedral, and I can't imagine what it would feel like to lose it, and this is the Notre Dame.

Well, no argument there, but I wrote more words in that sentence that you cut off. My point is, that a "cyber attack" is poorly constrained, compared to something like a fire or a flood... a company only has so many assets, valued

Hahaha, harsh. I like your coworker. And I would tend to agree with your second point. We might occasionally borrow some formalism and organizational structure from our engineering cousins, but it's different in enough ways that it pro

This is messy. On one hand, how are insurers supposed to properly cost and be able to provide payouts for a "cyberattack", which might be anything from "our company website was DDoSed for 30 minutes and we lost 50 customers&q

Counterpoint: if we tried to build all software using the same rigorous and "clever" processes that aerospace engineers do, almost nothing would ever get built. It's a different process because it's a different field, no

Interesting to hear that - I actually find Gmail's autoreply feature to be extremely annoying. When it's not suggesting outright inappropriate responses (once had it suggest "Ok! see you there!" on a thread about a funer
