It's better that everyone is loud about it then everyone giving up and being silently irritated. At least if people complain it's possible to read the room

Waymo are working towards Tokyo as well. I'm worried. Living in here, I've noticed that the taxi industry acts as an unintentional social support system. Many taxi drivers are in-between jobs or stages in life, or simply didn&#x27

Sounds like you may enjoy being a QA engineer. Good QA engineers are a really really good value add to a software team and can really save our ass. Technical QA engineers understand why things break, and are easy to coordinate with when pre

My uneducated take here is based my my friend's experience, who is an electrician. He's happy to be more flexible than the law allows him to. Work more hours, longer shifts, worse times of the day. Whatever gets the job done as go

When it first released I correctly predicted that the game was overhyped and destined to flop, making fun of friends who bought the game and ending up being disappointed. The internet historian video made me buy it, thinking it was maybe wo

Japanese websites still do this. If you buy shinkansen tickets between 23:00-05:00 you get: * JR central - you can buy, but not reserve seats, as the system actually registers your ticket at 5am * Jr east - you cannot buy. Some banks/g

Good point. I wonder how many articles discuss old games and over-analyze choices that may actually be labelled as //TODO: good enough, fix later In the actual source code

> I wonder how much space exploration could be financed by auctioning off naming rights. My favorite part about this is that since names are largely a social construct, given the right situation, we could just nullify all the paid names

Sorry for the long wait, I wasn't ignoring you, just busy. Yes, symbols were obfuscated, but Java software with obfuscated symbols is trivial to reverse, at least compared to its native counterparts. My understanding is that the bigges

Its proprietary, but trivially decompileable. Sure, maybe if the game was released today they would try obfuscating better, but the thing is that modding culture had already basically torn the game apart by the time Microsoft came around. I

The unlimited private repos for free tier would have happened anyways. You have to remember that this was around the time people were jumping ship from GitHub exactly because they didn't offer private repos for free. It was something m

The whole fable thing really did the company a number. Their filters are incredibly sensitive now and I got banned for bootstrapping a react app. 13 days and still no response, and they haven't even refunded the subscription as the FAQ

I don't disagree, but consider that second hand machines are of unknown state, and often have no (or limited) warranty. Just like with a second hand car, there is a higher maintenance burden. How does an average joe know if a machine o

Most people I know don't own enterprise computers. They are pretty pricy and visually tame - not really made for consumers. To me, buying a framework is more about ideology than them being the best at everything. You can't expect

In my experience there's almost always a way in which things like this can be abused, which is why I lean more towards it being made illegal altogether and accepting the cost of not having mass surveillance. I am yet to find a way in w
