Yes, look at how it deals with type param variance for example. It doesn't.

Power-to-weight ratio. It's a major weakness of electric power with current technology, and a single engine with a big prop is more efficient than any other configuration. Sometimes you see electric aircraft have multiple smaller engin

You can certainly apply and enforce such regulations on mainstream media, both TV and online. The world will benefit even without US getting onboard with it, and without the need to police every last website.

I would say the general public's level of intelligence in general, and the effect of dumb content on it specifically is definitely significant enough to need a solution. Many solutions, probably. Of course no one will seriously suggest

I definitely think that dumb content makes the consumer dumber with repeated exposure just like smart/educational content makes them smarter (well, in simple terms). I don't think there is a baseline intelligence level for each pe

I like that the pasta box indicates net weight at 13% humidity level . One can only wonder what led to this. https://assets.atlasobscura.com/article_images/54191/image.j... Does anyone happen to know the meaning

Huh. So when baby boomers were young they enjoyed all the cumulative public benefits of high taxes in prior years, but were never subject to such high taxes themselves? No wonder they look back at those times with admiration.

I used to always update my LinkedIn a few weeks before performance evaluation meetings. Was hoping the HR would notice and recognize retention risk. They were still surprised when I eventually quit, ha.

For one, if you limit your definition of freedom to "freedom to do things" and disregard "freedom from things", you end up being pro-organized-power, which is essentially pro-business.

Having a fairly small, well defined problem, working in a small self-selected team, with no outside interference and typically no clients outside the team. No managers, no PMs, no bug reports. This is not how day-to-day projects get done. R

Personally, I use adblocker for both purposes, but if not for tracking, I would be disabling it on many more websites to support them.

You can't actually opt out of tagging anymore, you can only opt out of tags appearing on your timeline, but people can still see the photos and see that you are tagged in them.

They _are_ tired, in the same sense as inmates are tired of being in prison.

Yeah. Add to that the paperwork and limitations associated with being a 'currency resident' if you decide to step into Russia for even one day a year. Ugh. I meet my family in other countries now. That said, what's this about

Not really, a lot of other manufacturers had recalls for various parts and even frames in excessive salt conditions. It's just that such challenging environments trigger the problems first.

I'm pretty sure APIs #1/2/3 do exist, although access costs thousands of dollars, making hobbyist usage impractical.

For the same reason you typically don't optimize for the Chinese market even though it's also huge. There is a significant cost to compliance, even if you do it right from the very beginning (assuming it's even possible for G

GDPR has its own, vague criteria for when it applies, and it's much more inclusive than the typical criteria for a nexus. For example, things like the company actively seeking out clients in EU countries, or offering the service in EU

Just to counteract the crazy low amounts of sleep people are reporting here - I sleep at least 8 hours on weekdays, and 9 or more hours on weekends (up to 11 if I didn't sleep enough on weekdays). I can't do less than that and rem

Almost all the images on Pinterest are available elsewhere. If Pinterest results were not polluting Google images, the originals would surface easier. --- I don't really see a problem with targeting the biggest worst abuser. Not everyt

Which is why they should have done it before Pinterest got so big in the first place. And honestly I don't think any significant amount of people search Google images wanting Pinterest results. People want images, they don't care

Have you seen a built in HTML date picker? It's horrible and is exactly the kind of built-in uncustomizeable frameworky misfeature that I don't want in HTML / CSS. Tables are just unstyled boxes with an alignment rule. Not

Because it's a markup language, and a style definition language respectively, so HTML / CSS lack the high level features and components found in desktop UI frameworks such as Cocoa (standard buttons, lists, file explorers, image g

Being relatively low level is a feature. HTML / CSS / JS are languages, not frameworks. One liner modals are not a feature a language should have. If you want, you can make a framework on top of it that will behave like a desktop

I really don't mind the HTML / CSS part with new developments such as CSS grid. If you're running it in a controlled environment (embedded browser), you could cut out a bunch of legacy crap, leaving a much leaner engine. Simi

It's not at all different from loving music written by drug addicts whom you wouldn't want as friends. Software developers are people too.
