errors being acceptable is why the challenger disaster happened. Ok, not really, but you get the point. Everyone has to evaluate the risk of the errors and act accordingly.

Is that actually a problem? That sounds like a made up solution. For the vast majority of people, simply touching something that someone else in your home has touched isn't going to cause you any sort of problems.

software use as in, problems that occur from actually using the software. As opposed to IP claims which is typically over the source code, not the software itself. For example, if you write a realtime scheduling component that Toyota e

So you're not really indemnifying the software use itself, that's where the confusion came from.

I would like to see the software contract that includes indemnification for the software.

That's good to know, it always seemed strange that they didn't have a simple way of doing it.

You misunderstood me, but it looks like you're not the only one who did so I probably could have worded it better. > If I get to choose I'll run arch linux, but inside vmware it's ubuntu hands down. What I mean is the dist

I tried virtualbox a while back and the reason I eventually moved back to vmware is because vbox requires you to hit some API's in order to run a vm detached, which I do for a few of my VM's. VMWare you can do it by setting a pre

Your wording there 'massive probs' is disingenuous. What I said was simply "works better", I never said anything about major problems. In fact, I specifically said the other distro's can be made to work just as we

Thank you for not being a jackass who starts preaching to me about what I should or should not be doing with absolutely no knowledge of my work or my use case. I'm so glad you avoided doing that.

I have not, perhaps I was being a bit hyperbolic but I think in general the sentiment is still mostly true.

I run Ubuntu locally because it tends to work better as a vmware guest. You can get other distro's to work with the quality of ubuntu, but not without a lot more hassle. If I get to choose I'll run arch linux, but inside vmware i

i3 is what I run in linux, and the user flow for it vs 'virtual desktops' in a more conventional desktop are too different to compare like that.

I know this jackass, just ignore him. He's a nutter conspiracy theorist who hates the police because he got arrested when he started mouthing a cop once. There are certainly concerns surrounding windows 10, but you'll need to loo

you automate the deployment and that automation runs checks. If things don't work out, it refuses to deploy.

I'm genuinely curious, how old were you when you had the heart attack?

but you won't compete with someone spending 60-80 hours/week doing the right thing. Which is why people talk about it the way they do. The doing it right is assumed.

I had that quote at the bottom of my resume for years as I've always thought it represented the sort of integrity and ethics I bring in my day to day dealings with tech and people.

because your questions have nothing to do with the API itself. It's like saying MS SQL is political because you have to ask whether or not you want to use it for a political purpose. The purpose may be political, the tech is not.

Where your thinking is flawed is in the idea that major subreddits won't be affected by reddit's stance change. Specifically, banning isn't the only way to affect a subreddit, it's merely one of the most final. As for y

And yet, for someone who values the freedom of expression, limiting another persons freedom due to something as simple as 'offense' is a slippery slope to limiting their freedom of expression due to someone else taking offense a
