Sounds like they didn't include the unit number in the duplicate-address check. Or else maybe they are including it just for multi-unit addresses, but their database of multi-unit addresses is incomplete/stale.

I assume they mean 60% of total earnings, not 60% of base wages. Tips can't end up being more than 100% of total earnings.

The way the Swiss Germans pronounce "Basel", not the way the French and English pronounce "Basle".

I've always pronounced it the same as Basel, the city in Switzerland.

Agreed, they're not the clearest of names, particularly in a global cultural context. But they're not totally arbitrary like "type 1 error" and "type 2 error".

"Little-endian" and "big-endian" aren't completely meaningless - they originally came from a description of the history/war between two nations in Gulliver's Travels who disagreed about which end of an egg

That's 1.5M for a brand new house on the half-lot, versus 1.3M for the existing 60 year-old house on the original lot. Since the new house cost 700K, then in theory the lot next door could sell for 1.6M if you're assuming that you

One of the advantages of using Google Fi as your phone provider on a Google phone: there's no SIM, and you have to log in to the phone on your Google account in order to transfer phone/SMS service there. So an attacker can't

On Android (don't know about iOS) you can take photos without even unlocking - double press on the power button opens the camera. You can't access anything else (including existing photos in the camera roll).

Using your SSN for your driver's license would have been fine in a society where the SSN wasn't also being treated by banks etc. as a way to authenticate you for credit/loans/accounts.

> The kind of thing where, for upstream, you’d spend 90% of your time landing a framework just to even be able to implement your feature with the final 10% patch. I feel this was a fair description of CGroups.

Cgroups is a great example of the problems faced here. The cgroups code/API that made it into the upstream kernel was the product of a couple of years of internal experimentation at Google into ways to do kernel-level resource isolatio

I think "seriousness" has to be interpreted in the context of the programmer. I discovered computer programming at the ago of seven, and I was about as serious about it as a seven year old can be.

In my experience it's better (in terms of using solar vs steam) to turn it off much sooner than that (maybe 15% or 20%) so that you're minimizing the amount of wasted solar energy later in the day when the accumulators are full an

The funny thing is that one of the complaints many people have about the cgroups API (text-based control files in a virtual filesystem, which came originally from the cpusets system) is very much in style of Plan 9.

by menage 6y ago
It's true that a better userspace API for cgroups might have involved something more like ioctl(), rather than a filesystem with text-based control files. But people had been trying to get such APIs into the kernel for years with no su
