I suspect that your database background is causing you to think too formally about how people structure Excel data. For the vast majority, they’re not normalizing data, running queries on sheets, etc. I can easily see this as one tab per ac

By default, packages you install from the OS have SELinux labels set for correct operation, and sometimes have booleans you need to enable to allow more advanced use. Anything you install yourself (e.g. tarballs) are completely unrestricted

It’s getting extremely tiresome to see RISC-V comments in every thread about this. It’s unnecessary and irrelevant.

How many dozens of stories like this do you need to read before realizing that you always need a local copy of everything valuable you store in the cloud?

Yes, that would probably fall under this because 10% off is a form of monetary compensation. But most review sites ban this type of thing, but businesses do it anyway.

Yes, I agree, and it’s also bothered me since they moved the power button to the side. I assume it was one of those things Steve Jobs fought against and they moved it as soon as he was gone because it looks cleaner, however there’s also an

Software engineering (and many other parts of IT) is at its core a creative process, and the “coddling” is what creates an environment where creativity becomes possible. You can’t get into the zone/flow if you’re constantly worried abo

Getting paid for doing something you love (or at least like when it comes to work tasks) is far better than having to spend 40 hours a week doing something you hate (in what is likely a much lower paid job), and then still getting home wi

> never seen a CEO or executive try to limit their employees from signing up for Blind by redirecting emails I get that it’s creepy that this is being done, but I highly doubt that nobody at Blind has “never seen” this. Blind sends spam

That doesn’t work well when you actually do need to receive emails from them once in a while. Equifax abuses this to the extreme, with every single change to your credit usage triggering an “account related” alert. But you still need to all

If it was “highly toxic” it would be obvious because people would be getting sick or dying after ingesting it. Maybe it’s got some issues that aren’t obvious, but there’s not a clear answer. However you don’t swallow mouth rinses like Act,

Was it a small difference from the spec, like an off by one error might be, or was it an order of magnitude difference that might point to it being significant and intentional? (Of course dropped 0 could also be a bug). That’s a fairly imp

Unlikely. What’s more likely to happen is that the AI posts that don’t get good engagement provides a feedback loop into the AI, training it to what works and what doesn’t. I believe we’re already seeing this on Reddit where upon the initia

Every time I see an app do this, I go to the App Store and give a one-star rating with a comment that this is why (app is using notifications for spam). I feel like using that method is more likely to be seen by the right people than compla

I wish the FAFSA team learned from the IRS how to properly rollout a new service.

The vast majority of applications are “hilariously small deployments” and only use the cloud or k8s because the engineer wants that on their resume. And there’s a huge range of sizes between “hilariously small” and “needs a whole data cente

The idea that RTO is being driven by the desire to prop up commercial real estate makes zero sense and needs to die. The vast majority of companies are renting their office space, and have no interest at all in the mortgage price of the bui

Science works on long (often generational) timelines. Eventually the charlatans are weeded out, even if it’s after they’re dead. It’s a messy process but you have to dig through dirt to find the gems.

You know that the smart box IS doing that, but you’re able to make the choice of which one to get. And it’s not coupled with the display so you can choose the best options in each category instead of being locked in to whatever OS is instal

As an iPhone user since the 3G, I’ve never had these kinds of issues, and I find it hard to understand how people are triggering this. The only thing I can think of is you have the screen facing out when in your pocket? And then resting you

When JavaScript was introduced, Java was already gaining traction, and the name JavaScript was chosen to ride on the coattails of that popularity. From that perspective, there’s a pretty good argument in favor of whoever holds the Java trad

I think one of the biggest reasons is just because everyone else is using it, so you need to use it too to either be able to hire people, or so you can get hired at the next gig. Us on-prem regular server people are hard to find.

The market incentives work the other way too. While some companies are incentivized to put a lot of effort into making their own proprietary standard to lock you in, a lot of other cheap products have no incentive to make that effort as it

Both the regular Watch and the Ultra are very much on the side of “only just bearable” regarding their thickness. They do not fit very well for anyone wearing button-down shirts with buttoned sleeve cuffs. Thinner is definitely welcomed.

The Ultra can go two days, so there’s an option available if you need it.

In a perfect world, yes that would work. But in most places, that’s just a type of CYA and is seen as the engineer being difficult to work with. There’s never some kind of fact-finding committee that really wants to know the truth of who’s
