Their point is that the seats are not sized to 'common people'. At the very least I'd say it's likely a not-small portion of American adults are larger than common airline seats want them to be.

If LZMA is your intended target, I more strongly suggest selecting a more modern container such as the 7z archive format. Someone selects a zip file not for it's compression, but for how widely accessible it is. Most likely this invol

What we can do today: Use different, better structured formats. (Except just about everything can handle a 'well formed' zip file) Take care to emit well-formed zip files. Never trust un-sanitized input. This includes ensuring th

This rent-seeking subscription BS has got to stop. It's just another way of raising the price by forcing everyone to constantly pay money and more money over the lifetime of a product.

The old menu system approach was spectacular for education. Menus were more like categories, types of operations, and within those sections of the menu grouped like operations. Each menu had a shortcut for invocation, usually Alt + the firs

Yes, whomever's on call for fixing any related system should have the physical keys to open the locks. Automatically logging that and post incident reports / etc as necessary.

I'd rather they just finished the job and installed higher speed people mover belts everywhere like in Caves of Steel (Asimov). We could have public transit <> inter area rail / road / airport hubs that allow for higher

In this case, 'several' is part of a larger grammatical context: 'the several States'. It's likely that modern interpretation extends the intent to the obvious meaning 'the collection of States (that are part o

It would really help if there were real ISP competition in the USA. There's only one actually broadband ISP provider where I rent, which is in the suburbs near Seattle. It's NOT a rural area by any definition, and yet Comcast is

The author's premise is that the strict typing and validation of a configuration file belong with the application, not some library doing initial validation of a document which may or may not conform to the application's logic.

Liability, including contractual liability, really ethically SHOULD show up among 'debts' (which are just monetary liability). Maybe accounting laws are too focused on money and not enough on value.
