Great article, but I do have one quibble. The author says El Salvador was not an interesting country to visit to him. Based on my personal experience the countryside is beautiful, the beaches are great and the people are lovely. Yes, the ci

First Tech Federal (WA, OR and CA). The service itself was autoland, which seems to still be around. Not sure if there are advantages to going through your own bank vs directly to them.

Last time I bought a car, I just messaged my credit union's Auto Buying service with the make/model I wanted. They told me the best price they could find and the dealer drove the car to my workplace once I set up the financing. If

This is great, but I'm going to wait for service pack 2, hopefully with included invasive telemetry, candy crush and an antimalware scanner that makes every IO 100x slower. I am really tempted to try this in a VM just to see how far it

oh, I had no idea from scanning the docs that it created a physical file for every virtual file. that really makes it of marginal general use. I suppose the choice of the name also makes sense in that context.

Well at least it seems easier than the IFS approach to exposing a foreign filesystem. I suppose if someone wrote a FUSE api wrapper around this it could be even more useful.

The intent isn't to block voice calls, but (probably) spreading of misinformation via social networks and group chat apps. Where the definition of "misinformation" is up to the government.

If the artist's license was for non-commercial use, isn't using it for training an AI for commercial use a clear violation ? I would love to know why not.

nope. as indicated by a sibling comment, Microsoft used to have parallel SDE and SDE/T tracks and orgs. They killed the test org completely around 10 years ago because of course developers can just do TDD and ship an operating system w

So… mostly the original design of Obamacare ? That went over swimmingly. There are enough “easy” solutions if the only goal is well-being of the citizen. That’s not always the priority for some obscure reason

I think it's more inertia than anything else at this point. For example, the Xbox/Windows GDK allows you to basically target one codebase for both platforms (with minor differences). So developing an Xbox-competing console is a ma

In the past you had to call the landline and risk getting *69ed, or use a payphone or something. Now, you can just sit at home in your underwear and tweet out a death threat. I think they were probably taken as seriously before, it's j

I think the difference is that these incidents are operator decisions. I presume the GP is talking about the case when the robot just goes "Nah, I'm going to ignore your target and kill these other people over here".

maybe SqlServer Express ? It has limits on memory and DB size, but if your project is small it might suffice, in conjunction with Management Studio Express. I've never used Access so apologies if you're looking for more than a GUI

parqueo and parquear are used widely in Central and South America so I am not sure it's fair to call them Spanglish. Provided the term is meant to apply to the Spanish spoken by immigrants and/or border area residents in the US.
