I must be missing something because even by the command in their own blogpost, I see more commits from redhat.com and google.com than oracle.com. And if I try to poke around myself for things like device-agnostic networking code (e.g. the I

It was fairly recently that I discovered people in my state were trying to book camping trips (and RV trips) 6 months in advance (and then just not going if they couldn't) because there are a few reservable spots that everybody wants t

Backend dev. I enjoy implementing UNIX shells or simple lisps. Sometimes I'll pick an RFC I also want to learn about and implement that protocol as a client / server / both.

Can you help me with the definition, then? I can't find that word in any of my dictionaries and search engines are suggesting I mean "non-transferable" which is not a property of land in NYC. Unless there's a definition,

My gut feeling is this doesn't entirely explain it, but any tenant is also more work than no tenant, so they may not want to do the work of signing a new lease and dealing with the work it will trigger for less than you're making

So then where does Turbo C++ 3.0 fit in? My copy is (C) 1992, but it was still being sold in 1999, alongside what I'm pretty sure I remember as Turbo C++ 4.5 that targeted versions of Windows that were not out in 1991... Boy, rememberi

Oh I agree, and yet it seems that an astonishingly small portion of crypto transactions are actually decentralized, or as currency. Until that changes, every conversation I have on the matter seems to end with "no bro, you'll see.

Logic didn't seem to have been a thing in the Daniel Shaver shooting, which happened in this state. I thought the bodycam footage was a pretty clear illustration of a terrified and confused unarmed victim doing his best to follow uncle

Well to be clear, this isn't for a date, this is a common occurrence with my wife. It really is "do you want to do this tonight or don't you". It could be, "I had a big event today so the last thing I want to do is

I've been told I'm a very literal person and that's why I have this problem. But I have no idea how to intentionally be non-literal... I will frequently ask someone a yes or no question (e.g. do you want to go out for dinner)

The explanations like banner blindness, etc. make sense to me, but I think there's still a problem in our society or species in general that people simply do not read things thoroughly. And when confronted with a problem, instead of go

Some department head got patted on the back, and a bunch of "analysts" burned 10 times what it should have taken to put this together. They're all getting salaries, good retirement benefits, and the satisfying feeling of havi

I've lost count of all the problems I've had with medical billing. I can't understand an argument against public pricing because it seems like a clear win if you believe in free market dynamics or progressive reformation of t

I also think it's unlikely, but California did at one point revoke a tax exemption and applied that decision retroactively, expecting interest on unpaid taxes that the law at the time said you didn't owe. As I recall, this wasn&#x

I get the intention, but companies lose data all the time that they never had a good reason or consent to collect and store in the first place. I don't believe anyone's careful enough to erase a need for informed consent.

You can send them written notes afterwards and ask for confirmation. Depending on the meeting you can also just say you want to record to make sure you get your notes right, and if they refuse you can ask them to be the one to put things in

And how many different companies should I work at before I conclude that the industry in general could use a change and that it's not me that needs to make changes?

I certainly don't, and I would like them even less if multiple companies were sticking them in my hand at a trade show. I think generally the tech industry could do with less focus on alcohol. I don't drink, but I used to be okay

FamilySearch has a mobile app called "Get Involved" that does OCR and just has you confirm that it did it correctly. I used to do a lot of manual indexing for them when it was mostly based on sharing physical copies of documents,

Yeah FamilySearch also has a lot of links and relationships with other organizations, so it's a good starting point to tie a lot of other resources together. Once you get enough stuff put together to get hints of recently digitized r

And "peer reviewed" is a big key here. I don't use RSA because someone certified the protocol's authors, I use it because the details have been so heavily looked into by the whole industry and accepted by virtually every

Others have mentioned the Attic, but I think the other crucial thing to be aware of here is that to the Apache Software Foundation, it's all about community. When a project wants to graduate from the Incubator and become a top-level pr

If it should, it's a lot more complicated than that. "Open source" isn't a boolean where as long as you share your source you're compliant. Licenses usually require that a copyright notice be redistributed along wi

There are warnings on my bleach bottles saying not to mix with things. But that didn't stop my wife from doing it once. Generally people don't RTFM even if you put it on the bottle in big red letters. edit: Just to be clear, thoug

I thought my wife understood what I did. But she saw a marketing video about how we were reimagining everything and changing the world and she latched on to that instead. I'll allow it.

If one has a hacker mindset that extends outside of startups and technology, knots are pretty dang useful. I use them all the time in DIY projects, camping, etc.

Walking through even the financial district these days, it's not at all unusual for people to be stepping over unconscious bodies on the sidewalk, and to see homeless people walking around with syringes tucked behind their ear. In fact
