Risk. Whenever you provide legal advice, you take on risk. And big or small, there is always the possibility that that risk might end your career and cause years of training to go up in smoke. Lawyers are experts in risk management, which i

Are these games available on OSX? Or are you somehow booting Windows? (Apologies if this seems like a stupid question. I've not played games for a very long time, mainly because most stuff doesn't seem to be available on Macs).

My understanding is that DO VPS’ are underpowered (as are VPS offerings from most other VPS vendors). Dollar for dollar, bare metal stuff from Hetzner, OVH, etc are far more powerful. That said, I completely agree-a $4/month DO VPS can

Genuine question here: isn’t it a standard security practice to avoid committing keys (or other secrets) to repos? Edit: and what’s the best practice here? Is it using a key management system of some sort? (I’m thinking of scenarios where y

Doctor here. Agree with this. Plus, when requesting an imaging study, we provide the patient’s history and list of differential diagnoses. The radiologist looks at the X-rays in that context. Interpreting X-rays in isolation has little rele

Question: how do you know it's safe to drive over them? Wouldn't there be areas of thin ice through which the vehicle might sink?

I thank the lord for CSS grid and flexbox. Now that I think of it, I haven't used floats in a while.

My dad bought a corolla in early '90s, which he used for over 20 years without significant issues. We eventually sold it and got a new car mainly because of the much better safety measures in modern vehicles.

I second this. Affinity has a fantastic suite of tools that is great value for money. Best benefit of all: being able to ditch the intrusive crap Adobe forces on you when you install their stuff.

For whatever reason, I've always associated the acronym "RMS" with Stallman. (Even though I have no idea what the "M" in his name is.) I then immediately think of the famous "Stallman Jesus" photo. In the

Fair enough, yes. If you're contracting with a third-party company that takes up the risk of hiring the employee, that does circumvent these issues. Re: the lawsuits—yes, the barrier to initiate litigation is low (in most countries); b

Not necessarily. Consider this situation: you hire a contractor. They work for you for several years, and then you fire them. The contractor goes to the labor court in their country and files a claim stating that, yes, their contract says t

1. Labor law is local. This adds (on a per-country basis) legal risk and compliance costs, as well as operational costs (e.g., you might need to have specific policies that apply to employees in specific countries). 2. Taxation regimes. The

I've used PHP since the early 2000's (I started with PHP 4, I think). The language has improved vastly since then. When combined with the Laravel framework, you've got a first-class platform for building web applications.
