Yeah, great point. It's how you process and store the data that's important. One of the key rights individuals have is to request that ALL PII about them is deleted from all of your records, and you have to comply with this reques

True, but when you're travelling for weeks at a time, you might need a replacement cable for whatever reason. It's easy to get a USB-C to USB-C cable or HDMI to HDMI cable pretty much anywhere. As soon as you want adapters, it&#x2

Honestly, it's a real shame this doesn't have HDMI. I'd definitely get one for travelling if it did as it's rare to find a hotel room that doesn't have a TV with accessible HDMI port. Certainly it seems like a bette

We might be talking at cross-purposes a bit, but also it seems that you're considering a much larger scale than me, and also I hadn't really considered that some people might want to do data-intensive transfers on the management n

I wonder how useful other people find streaks as a motivational tool. I'm interested in this, because I feel like I should add this to my own app because other apps do, so I guess some people must find benefit, but personally dislike t

Yes and no. I think it's useful to show some detail in recent roles, or in jobs where you feel you have something compelling to talk about. But if it's from more than 10 years ago, it's probably no longer relevant. I still li

Just to nit-pick, I think he meant number of different translations, not number of languages it was translated into. I doubt there are multiple translations of Little Prince into each of those languages. What makes it important for this boo

I'm aware that they are product names, but also very much "versions" in the public mind too. I guess that falls into the difference between build version and major version. People choose a major version for features, and get

If it was me, I wouldn't have completely ditched the old system. If they're currently on 5.0, instead of moving to 2409 and potentially having a huge problem if they ever went back on the plan (think Windows 3.1 -> 95 -> 98

I don't even see the need for leap seconds at all (in either direction). Why should anyone care? All times are relative to some arbitrary fixed point in time anyway, so why are we so hung up on maintaining the status quo? Aside from th

It's a pretty good way of explaining it. I've seen (1+1/n)^n before, but never seen an explanation of why I might ever want to use something of that form. I've used the e^ix notation extensively, but again I've neve

Well, except that his fix can't easily be pushed back into the source tree because he doesn't know what other software is only working because of the original fix. Presumably it must have been needed by at least one other person,

A better example is "pure water". By it's definition, that's just H2O molecules floating around with nothing else. If you add a single grain of salt to a glass of that water, it's no longer pure. Drinking it you pro

One example to help think about this. Say you have 3 friends. Your friend Bob has a net worth of $1 - he is the least rich. Your friend Alex has a net worth $10 - he is richer. Another friend Ben has a net worth of $100 - he is the richest.

I'm kind of surprised advocating calling any syscall other than signal to add the handler back again. It's been a long time since I looked at example code, but back in the mid 90s, everything I saw (and so informed my habits) just

Similarly, safest is normal English means not completely safe, but more safe than the other options. So safe > safest > safer > safe-ish > unsafe.

I disagree about it being logical to replace it. There's no real good reason not to keep it if we think it's still useful. I feel it's contentious because that's a lot of money to spend destroying stuff that could still

My point is the cost. Let's say you buy your shiny new iPhone for $1000. 5 years later the battery needs replacing. Maybe your phone model is still available (unlikely, but let's just imagine it)... normally Apple have $200 or $30
