Not every problem is worth fixing “the right way”. The internal cost of wasting a packaging box (a few cents a day) is probably hugely surpassed by the value of increasing quality. You have to consider the opportunity cost of the Root Cause

It sounds like your argument is “software that was designed to be testable is easy to test and refactor”. I think a lot of the gripes in the thread are coming from folks who are in the situation where it’s too late to (practically) add that

There are browser extensions to block w3schools (or any domain you choose) from google results. Some are built to only block w3schools, some will operate off a list of domains. It’s one of the first extensions I get on a new computer.

Every time I go to a restaurant with one of these ad tablets, I just turn it so that it’s facing away from the rest of the table. I can use it when I want to pay or something, but I don’t have to see all the ads.

If you want to support the workers and actually make a difference in someone’s life, get someone to take your bags to your car and tip that person. They get to take a break and walk outside, and make some extra cash under the table. I don’t

If you could factory-reset to the original firmware on internal ROM (with buggy xml parser), wouldn’t you still get stuck in the boot loop? They way I understood it, the write up in the article says that the XML is downloaded and parsed dur

This is one of those weird titles that I would interpret differently based on whether I saw it on HN or in a newspaper. I was wondering how something called “SAS Rescue 3” would have trapped any diplomats anywhere. It also probably has to d
