> So it's not criminal to push habit forming narcotics from behind a corporate curtain? Basically yeah. The "war on drugs" was pathetically laughable for reasons like this.

You're saying that they breached their contract - he's just saying that the contract may not have been valid in the first place, thus it cannot be enforced/breached. We don't know if their contract was valid, that's

Web search engines generally are also full text search engines. This project is useless for people who have their own private text to search.

Django's migration tool is one of the main reasons I can't leave django. What comparative ORMs do you use for non-django, or non-python languages?

Without some decent advances in battery technology I have strong doubts about electric planes being common for commercial flights. This is just based on the wh/weight ratio - lithium batteries are far heavier then oil based fuel per wa

Wikipedia sorta supports something like this with a lot of English articles if you chance the domain to simple.wikipedia.com for the language. Then it gives you articles that are much more ElI5.

I totally understand your point about the environment. Given that I only fill my car once every 14 days, and only use 1 single glove for the hand touching the handle, I'm not overly concerned about the generated waste. Even if every Am

This is in LEO so the damage would be limited - these are designed to decay and fall out of orbit in a few years - and so would most debris. Most communication satellites (currently) have much higher altitudes, where such an event would be

The reason why the largest telescope observatories are on earth is because it's I feasible to get them into orbit. And it's not a theoretical problem - there's plenty of people who have already had their work impacted Softwar

Interestingly you also can't purchase kindle ebooks on Apple devices at all, which I beleive is to skip the apple tax.

He's talking about operational safety - your application applies validation to inputs to the database. This ensures that only valid data is stored. What happens if you have a field that's supposed to be 0-9, but it's an int f

Yeah I actually choose gas stations that support contact less payments. No card contact + one disposable glove is the way to go. Overkill.. Maybe? But it costs me nothing so I'll take the peice of mind.

I don't know what archetecture your website uses, but our site for example we just cache the view into redis for however long. It's built into a lot of webframeworks, but shouldn't be too crazy to implement by hand.

Please, please, please still release your source if you don't mind! Especially for "random hacks" like a home brew bridge! You have no idea how many tiny repos I have used for reference with those types of projects! In many c

I've been wondering this too. To my knowledge I don't know of any language/framework threading implementations that let you do certain functions in a "fast core thread" and others in a "slow core thread".

The moon is interfering with radio signals? Doesn't this only happen if the moon is literally blocking line of sight? It seems like being outside of earth's atmosphere and ionosphere would be the biggest benefit for radio.

r/wallstreetbets calls these (rather unfortunately) "fd" options. Basically you can use not that much money to buy unlikely to be profitable options and make an actual crapload of money - and it would look identical to just b

Github actions has been a huge let down for me. Between uptime issues and the lack of support for so many basic CI features is killing it for me (and has been for a year). The only reason we're using it is because it's free..

Do these companies not have live error reporting and tracing? Like surely github got alerts that things weren't working? Why don't they just hookup their status page and their alerts? Or is it a political/relationship thing,

Can you not gamble with a credit card in vegas? It looks like the person in your example was selling a call, which has potentially unlimited losses - that was a rather poor decision on his part. There are much safer methods of making "

I recommend the Github link that 100 gave, and also the various related subreddits. You're unlikely to get a direct answer because... Well you don't talk about fight club. But if you watch the subreddits a bit you'll get a mu
