But apple juice manufacturers are (in the general case) not in the "we manufacture and/or sell electronic products". At which point they would probably end up in an interesting legal tangle.

I coined it initially for configuration management, but... "Keep accidental an intentional identity apart". By that I try to convey that just because two things look the same doesn't mean that they are by necessity the same.

I applied for a job as a network engineer with a (then large) UK ISP that had a "we will own all your IP", managed to negotiate that to "I keep anything done on my kit, on my time" (which is fair, I think). Then the ISP

I am aware. The JA37 has thus been one of the extremely few models in a position to both escort an SR-71 to safety and get a missile lock on it (although would with almost certainty have been unable to shoot it down).

Anecdotally, the main slowdown we saw of Go code running in Kubernetes at my previous job was not "GC stalls", but "CFS throttling". By default[1], the runtime will set GOMACSPROCS to the number of cores on the machine,

The JA37 Viggen is probably one of the few planes that managed to get a missile lock on the SR-71. This was mainly to try to push the northern flight path (over Norway, then onwards over Russia) to pass north of Sweden, instead of crossing

I don't, it is a poor substitute for nvi, doesn't behave like the vim of old and defaults to angry fruit salad mode. No, nvi or bust, man!

I'd say it's creating software that is "good enough" (good enough to do what it needs to, right now, sufficiently frequently that paying customers return).

I think the bright light is intended as a countermeasure to the hidden camera, not as a countermeasure to finding the hidden camera. Basically, to keep position X unobservable through the hidden camera, ensure that there is an overwhelming

From where I used to live in Greater London, to Heathrow, by cab, was about 1h 30m. Same route, using only TfL, was probably 2h. Same route, using HEX between Paddington and LHR, was about 1h15m. I have no idea what the ull opening of LizPu

As far as I can tell, the only reason for a Go 2 (as opposed to a Go 1.nnnn) is "we introduced a breaking change". Things that were considered "Go 2" are being worked in, as the language evolves, without the need to brea

Not sure if PurifyPlus existed for HP-UX, but I know Purify did (at a very previous job, we even managed to find a small memory leak in the standard libc, which we filed with HP; unfortunately, a repro required having a Purify license).

When I was poking PE many many years ago, one approach I took was "make a brute-force solver, feed it small inputs, see if there is an easy way to reason myself to a closed form". This sometimes involved looking sequences up in OE

I will 100% agree that neither emacs nor vim are "beginner-friendly", I would hesitate to call them "not user-friendly", they're just very particular about what users they're friendly with.

As a general rule, there's not much difference between one instance of "console X" and another instance of "console X", but the difference between "PC 1" and "PC 2" can be quite substantial. This
