Even if you're tempted to plagiarize in a business report, it seems far more useful to just include the link you're copying from as a citation anyway. It shows that you actually researched the topic instead of making it up.

You could spend time to learn about the process, deal with months or years of lobbying, deal with counter-lobbying, and eventually win your position or maybe not. Or you could use this technical workaround. And maybe we're all worse-of

I've struggled with this in every job change, even after my first job of 1.5 years: I owned my own little project, and in that tiny corner of the company, I was the expert. Going from being an expert to onboarding again feels like bein

One benefit of RAR is when dealing with multi-file archives, you don't need all of the files to be able to decompress one of them. You don't even need a complete file to be able to look inside! Yes, some of your files will be brok

Disco Elysium - lots of dialogue trees and people to interrogate. Saying every possible thing is usually a bad idea. Orwell - not so much about direct interrogation, but you essentially play Big Brother and feed investigators information yo

Seems a bit sensational to complain about the TPM 2.0 requirement for a game on Windows 11 when it is in fact a requirement to run Windows 11.

It sounds like you're arguing that Github isn't liable for people using copyrighted code through Copilot. I think most people are more concerned about whether the user of Copilot would be liable for using copyrighted code generate

The Linux shell command 'touch foo' is idempotent, but not side-effect free. Reading a variable shared between threads without a lock is side-effect free but not idempotent.

old.reddit.com is clearly beginning to rot: 1. The new Reddit seems to have a different markdown parser which allows surrounding unindented code with ``` lines. This doesn't render on old Reddit. 2. New Reddit seems to be saving links

Yeah, I took a similar course around 2010. It was a fourth year course and had a ton of prerequisites, so you pretty much had to plan to take it from second year. Most EE students I knew decided to specialize in power generation since it wa

I know it says "no mocks", but you could use Minio to have a local S3 alternative. Their client can even be used as a frontend to both S3 and a Minio instance.
