You're suggesting that the retired, teenagers, stay-at-home parents, and college students make up the majority of the US working population? Yeah, not buying that one at all. The US economy is fucked right now, we've been madly sp

Our economy has become so overwhelmingly top heavy that the majority of the population is losing the ability to take part in it. The middle class used to be the mean income, but these days the mean has drifted so far from the mode that the

It's interesting you mention graphics cards because that very behavior has lead to the gaming community favoring benchmarks derived from a handful of current gen games min/max/avg FPS over so called synthetic benchmarks. It o

The US industrial base was mighty, but these days it's a very pale shadow of what it was. Rampant cost cutting, outsourcing, and lack of protecting domestic production has absolutely devastated US manufacturing. There's still

First a disclaimer, this is pure speculation on my part, but based on what others have said about github cracking down on sanctioned countries. I'm guessing they audited and found some accounts that belonged to people they suspected of

Same way taillights and such are, if a cop notices it you get a ticket or your vehicle impounded depending on the severity.

Anything sufficiently advanced to produce working code from vague design documents would be functionally indistinguishable from true AI. Barring some kind of major breakthrough in the field of AI (not machine learning, actual AI), this is b

Part of the problem is that "systems programming" is an overloaded term that means a number of different things. Is writing a web browser "systems programming"? What about a CLI utility like grep? Kernel module? Bare met

Your confusion is around where the end is in this case. E2E would be encryption from the ring device to your other device being used to view the feed (your cellphone for instance). Part of the difficulty in that case is getting the encrypti

The gaming market is in some ways on the trailing edge of technology. While they're often one of the first to embrace new hardware , they're very slow to adopt changes in software or architecture because the engines that driv

It's the corporate structure. The CEO either grows the year over year profits or he gets punished/fired by the board. Boards pick CEOs based on a history of delivering growth at any cost (this is one of the irrational decisions, t

There's also elements of selection bias as well. If you're highly transparent it's likely that people who value that will be drawn to your product, so when you subsequently take steps to reduce that transparency somewhat (suc

I'll give a shot at the last one: Future is something that will eventually produce a value. CompletableFuture is a Future that you can register a callback on for when it completes. RunnableFuture I'm not completely sure on, but I&

The only difference between them and others is that they're plain in their language rather than obfuscating it behind lawyer speak. All providers have similar provisions hidden in their TOS, it's just buried behind layers of legal

It's a problem of delegation. Some executive "reads" some whitepaper (I.E. gets told about offhandedly by their buddy at the golf course), and thinks that it sounds like a great way to prove their "doing something"

I'm pretty sure that was the point he was trying to make. The excuse often made for why rental properties aren't allowed is that tenants are often noisy or cause other problems. He was just pointing out that that can be a problem

Based on the technical specs $150, even with 12 games seems like price gouging. It's not too far off the Adafruit PyBadge someone else mentioned in another comment only that comes with a color LCD and more buttons for only $35 ($25 if

I mean, how else are you going to write self-modifying code? It's kind of implicit in the name of the thing that it's going to need to at a minimum have write and exec permission, and read is kind of important to make sure you&#x2

Interestingly much of the (hobbyist) drone hardware also requires a Ham license to operate, so there's quite a bit of overlap there. There are at least 3 distinct groups potentially impacted by this. First there are the non-commercial,

You're wrong about the interaction model. When you install the client on your phone and pair it with a computer (via QR code) it generates a ssh key. You then need to import the public key into your github (or gitlab etc.) account same

In this particular case it's all about Windows not having a decent SSH client. There's PuTTY... and uh... PuTTY. Oh, and you can sort of maybe run OpenSSH through LSFW or Cygwin, or maybe msys, but those all have some serious gotc

Any system sufficiently complex to replace programming is indistinguishable from a poorly written and designed programming language. It's the same broken thought process that leads to business rules engines which themselves always end
