I am always torn about the agressivity of MS on the marketplace at the time and their displayed technical insecurity visible in trying to ensure compatibility with existing apps (vs telling external developers to fix things).

There is some truth on the damages sides, but it also bites the defendant very hard and tends to change behaviors.

The crazy thing that brings hidden complexity is the waterfall model. “We have that thing that get fed to this one”. Ok, how do you report errors, in the upstream system? The downstream one? Do you have parameters with the downstream proces

can someone explain a bit the reasonning behind banning opposing lawyers from the defendant's venue? I feel like it's to reduce "on the ground" discoveries in civil cases, but I don't understand why, as far as I kno

So if someone sues a subsidiary of the group they are banned in the entire group? That must be really tickling the layers when it's time to ask for damages in civil cases: "well, we're asking to hold the entire group in solid

this is not tracking Elon Musk personal movements, this is tracking 3 corporate airplanes owned by Space X. There is some overlap, but it's the same as loitering in front of one of his companies HQ might help you find him.

I love the Sunday quaterbacking of AoC, more than the competition itself (I'm not even doing this year). And I agree with you that a quick reminder that some problems are "naively intractable" is a good wake up call once in a

You know staying the 6th GDP in the world with a smallish population and no natural resources, we’re doing not too bad. There was no natural markets there anyways, the airports are paid for by local taxpayers, only really big airports make

My uncle used to work at a tool maker shop for the stamping industry in the 70’s. For the round molds for the wheel wells, they did grind the piece of steel by hand, and the curves were checked by a soft bending ruler.

From watching a bit of YouTube, I think Canada’s kitchens have more 220 outlets than American kitchen. They even seemed to have dual outlets with each outlet on a different phase, so all the ingredients are right next to each other to get a

funny, I was about to build and electric skateboard, then I thought: "hum, I'm an out of shape 100+ kg slob, maybe 1) I shouldn't take a heavy fall from a standing position 2) use my muscles for transportation". So I got

Don’t believe the hype, onshape is like a Cad software on Citrix. It’s not spreading the cost of computing a complex fillet over hundreds of machines (or even better, running the same operation in the browser and the cloud and letting the f

I think those people doing alternative libc, compilers, etc. are also doing a great secondary job at dusting some very stable corners of Linux. And a third very big value is all those blog posts they generate to educate all of us lay people

I think a lot of graph edits are a nightmare to perform with an adjacency list, and a breeze when you just edit linked pointers. Imagine the Euler Operators on a manifold (ie a 3D mesh) or on a planar graph, but on a vector instead of on a

About the classification: I would add that the people choosing the severity are a bit alone because of secrecy, so they also can’t really ask too much for advice. That’s probably where the NSA could be useful because of their big number of

In France we have a different tool called "bank check" which is basically a non-bounceable check coming from the bank's books (and the bank blocks the money on your account of course). It's mostly useless I think because

What is a bit hilarious is the idea that the new guy will change any procedure at his new place because of his experience somewhere else. “Thank you, but it’s the franchise HQ who makes the rules, not the rank and file”

Some things became a pain in the butt after my mom passed away and her accounts were frozen (like they bounced her income tax payment, and her electricity bill, and hijacking some other utilities was a pain). But we decided not to mess too
