Ugh, TIL "per work." I'm sure I've read past that 100 times. Too late to delete, but thanks for the tuneup.

Yeah, that's what "statutory damages" means. In the US, if you have registered your copyright (distinct from the automatic copyright that attaches at creation), you are entitled to damages up to $150,000 per infringement .

Could be; it's ambiguous. But yeah, not updating DNS could be just declining to test operation in the wilds of outside traffic before tearing it all down. That said, in this way, maybe a periodic "DR" that actually replaces t

This is a good nutshell of the evolution in internet systems operations over the past 10 years. The boss didn't go to GSB just to watch some unfungible college-dropout make their own schedule every day.

In those cases, if you click on the "X minutes ago" timestamp you'll get a single comment view with a reply box. Yours didn't have a reply link in-thread, so just like I did here.

Run ads internally for a period of time disconnected from the number of clicks. It's worked well for decades. Basically, to reduce the integration of ads and browsers.

I think that's a cop-out. There are no objective measures of these things, the meaning of "how long you linger" or where you move your mouse are completely made-up by the coders who wrote the algorithm. They don't have t

How many times have you seen the last line of a file you're tailing be something like "00:00 Logfile turned over." Both less and tail stop doing their business when a log is rotated and the inode changes. Stop that by adding

> People you don't agree with are nazis? You apparently need practice in reading comprehension. But I do find a lot to agree with in reasonable people, so sure, I could defend that accusation for s&g's.

"Junior" is only insulting when the company doesn't promote from within. Which is most online companies, sure, but that's no reason not to buck the conventions.

Both examples are category errors. In #1 there's no such thing as food without taste, and in #2, verbs don't have physical attributes.

> How can we help her? Does she need money, public support, vpns in every country? Whatever she needs, mankind is indebted to her and we should help if we can. Pool money with everybody you know and hire a lobbyist.

Formal methods come from a need for form, repeatability. There is nothing in software development that comes close to the process and considerations that go into choosing to build with M30 concrete, or use #5 rebar for that matter.

I know this isn't the simplest solution, but the only solution is to stop giving them your speech. If a child lights something on fire every time they get their hands on a book of matches (dating myself perhaps), you stop giving them

And only those. I've seen a lot of tabs land on form field labels.

It's not gray. The recall is BS and the recompense would have happened anyway. Well, maybe not if fucking Caitlyn Jenner was governor.

It's not a bad use of tax dollars to directly benefit tax payers.

"Shebangs" have been defined as '#!' for decades, I'd suggest they not be redefined.

The computer nerds are the ones who get screwed in the equity game, it's actually the CEOs of these companies pushing them down the pecking order. Check how many founders and upper managment come from fraternities.

My sense is that Jevon's Paradox should mean the blogpap business will explode. Google will be filled with even more pithy, business-topic supporting SEO blather as human writers put GPT to work for a lot more clients than they had bef

The elephant in the room is public transportation motivating bad drivers to stay away from the car. "Oh but they won't," and maybe, but I'm pretty sure there are a lot of people who would like to have someone else drive,

This is the wrong question, and a loaded one besides. Self-driving cars do not (and will not, if you ask me) exist, and can't work within current asphalt traffic practices. Create a non-human driver who can drive equally as safely as a
