From everything I have seen, people in poaching-affected countries take it very seriously. Wildlife is a symbol of their culture and an important source of tourism revenue. Poaching is also a criminal enterprise, and breeds violence in the

CSmith is carefully designed to only generate fully defined programs. That obviously limits the scope of bugs it covers quite a lot, but it still managed to uncover quite a few. Its biggest weakness is the difficulty of minimizing and root-

This is missing a key element of why most people don't ironman most games: avoiding repetition. An game of FTL is relatively short and heavily randomized. Xcom is fairly randomized, but I still think most people would be annoyed to cra

> Don't you care to know where your food, your electronics or your clothes are coming from, who made them and how? This is a pretty strange choice of examples, considering how little most people know about the manufacturing of any o

The simple reason is that there was no compelling feature to reward you for upgrading. You'd spend a tremendous amount of effort for dubious return and (until recently) a smaller ecosystem. 1. Unicode support was actually an anti-featu

Absolutely this. If I'm making a diagram for a presentation I'm going to draw it manually so it looks just right. When we're debugging dataflow graphs with 4000 nodes, graphviz is the one and only.

My problem with SQL Server is that the name is so generic it sounds more like a product category than a product. Its like naming a word processor "Text Rendering Engine". Microsoft seems to be generally terrible at naming things:

No way. I work in a startup (~35 employees) on a small, mission-critical team (~6 members). Even so I consider my contribution to company success or failure to be negligible. It boggles my mind that someone at a giant company like FAANG wou

I don't know if you've ever lived in a windmill region, but everybody hates them if its in their backyard. I support green energy, but god forbid it 'desecrate' a field within 40km of my property . Suddenly every rinky-

'Too Big to Fail' means that the government steps in to bail out a company because its failure would be a threat to the economy. Private companies have been saving each-other from liquidity crises for centuries, because bankruptcy

The problem with this implementation I feel is that I'm 100% willing to spend hours scrolling through logos for something that would be the face of a project, so the top pick, or even the top 100 picks are not really meaningful to me.

In case you need to use more vim in your life: that's not actually a conf issue, it's just how the 'i'-key behaves. You can use 'a' to open insert mode after the current character, or to more directly get the
