From what I understand, the computer will (and should) reject the acceleration attempt in favor of the brake. But, if you own a reasonably modern vehicle, try it :)

I'm sorry but you are wrong regarding the Toyota problem. There was (is?) a firmware issue that caused the vehicle to attempt to speed up, regardless of if the accelerator was pressed, or even if the brake was pressed. In my case, I ha

good catch, though probably not rewritten automatically. There's too much "context awareness" going on. If it was auto-written, it was then heavily edited by a native english speaker. also after skimming the atlas obscura a

Whenever I see articles like this, I like to remind people that a great production system doesn't make a company more honest or accountable. Unintended acceleration flaw in Toyota models around 2005 to 2011, due to firmware bugs: htt

if this is true, I'd love to hear the alternate! I use recaptcha and hate that my chinese customers need to do wacky stuff to circumvent it.

No dispute. just bureaucracy. it's royaltees from xblig (xna on xbox360). they admitted to not paying me in email, but don't know where the money went. I actually emailed msft legal about it aprox a year ago, which got traction

thanks for the referral. I phoned a few lawyers about this but none were interested in contingency. I'll give him/them a call!

yes, that's an option, though probably the least attractive out of all my crappy choices :/

small claims court in my state (WA) is limited to aprox $5000. This awkward area between $6k to $15k seems to be a sweet spot for abusive business practices (intentional or otherwise) because of the big time and financial commitment it take

I'm in a kind of similar situation in that Msft owes me aprox $7k in royalties but they lost track of it internally. I've been pinging them every 6 months about this for the last 4 years, hoping to avoid litigation. in the usa, y

nvidia drivers (probably ati too) let you create custom resolutions. I got my monitor to do 1080p@120hz that way. (default supported is only 60hz)

fyi, I think age has a lot to do with it. my kids were 8 and 6 before they started playing outside (0.83 acres) no neighborhood kids to speak of.

strongly agree on profiler and SQL. Horror story re SQL: in my SaaS I skipped sql and went with cloud datastore (NoSql) and regret it. basically (to simplify) you can't query your data without doing a full table scan (IE Slow).

self taught dev here too. I have never used make files, but pretty sure I'm using NodeJs in a similar role. I use it to automate all my "scripting", including deploying of my SaaS product to the cloud and running unit tes

and Stripe. They have an offer on my dashboard that's 10% interest for 3x monthly subscriptions (not total monthly revenue), 20% interest for 6x. To me, it seems rather aggressive. I'd have to be super desperate to accept those

no, but you shouldn't keep your money in a bank either. Put it in an investment vehicle to at least break even with inflation. the 3rd parties I'm referring to are things like work marketplaces like upwork, even gift cards or und

to generalize, you shouldn't keep your money in any 3rd party longer than necessary.

i switched to ubuntu minimal for my cloud instances. it works great. highly recommended.

to all those silent downvoting, I assume you havent played these battle royale games enough to experience what @cannedslime is discussing. If you have, plz reply with why he's wrong. @cannedslime: I pretty much agree with everything

I used to be all about jumping on the next fancy thing as soon as it was (pre)released. Having been burnt and learned my lesson, now I delay until it's blindingly obvious it needs to be done. But yeah, if it needs t be done, do it.

I've spent the last 5 years on Node, and honestly most modules are fine. The only ones I've had serious problems with are those created by Google. They keep taking huge complex dependencies on things like Grpc that break between

yours and a lot of other comments seem to hint that this work may not be strictly required? I'm a bit surprised. At least in my case, as a public facing SaaS I don't think running Node 6.x past it's LTS window is a valid cho

my own anicdata: Integrate a default proxy into our existing "choose proxy" workflow takes about 2 weeks, and I'm currently on my 3rd month of those 2 weeks :) Reasons for the delay: 1) Proxy is a stand-alone application. N
