With lack of expansion cards combined with m2 drives modern PCs are looking completely different to just 10 years ago. Just a big motherboard with a video card and a massive cooler. Those big cases look mostly empty. All the wiring is just

I've had a bunch of restaurants secure reservations with cc numbers and CVC in a big book. I guess their tech auditors didn't pick up that risk.

I'm not sure where you are but USA is very lax compared to the rest of the world. Obviously someone has crunched the numbers and decided a little more fraud that gets easily refunded means the customer is more profitable that strict se

For a new job is a common problem. When I was younger I always thought I must be stupid because basic setup, builds are done well and I just can't figure it out. Now I realize that most teams have random quality builds and likely there

It actually makes sense to measure a linear scale of pressure instead of a single click, with a smart driver that knows if its a key you typically hit hard or gently eg d (index finger) vs z(little finger).

No a contract is a contract and the contract defines what the agreement is. The IRS might have a view of the tax implications of contract law but it doesn't control anything.

Yeah I value a few branches around. I'd hate to rely my finances on some startup with an app that could stop working any time. A branch gives some idea of permanence. Maybe its an illusion but I just dont trust virtual only banks.

Pilot Varsity Disposable, 3 for $8. Its a cheap way to try out, and actually still my favorite as they dont have lots of the hassle, and write great.

The whole advantage of GraalVM is startup time, which is important for containers, Lambda jobs etc, because it doesn't have to compile bytecode on startup. It isn't supposed to be faster than regular JVM, which has the advantage o

Agreed. I loved Instagram as pictures with an occasional video. I uninstalled it this year.

I prefer android but its getting harder. My employer will only let us have corporate apps on android phones that are quickly patched - right now only Google Pixel phones makes the approved list. Everyone else has iphones.

You might be right. I assume lending as a regular part of the economy but my grandparents lived in a world where it was very difficult, even for a mortgage. I can't see any real benefit of credit cards, payday lenders.

And the biggest reason people buy housing is that its been the best investment. The wealthiest people I know are the people that bought houses a long time back and kept leveraging up into buying more.

Its a global problem that interest rates have been too low for too long. Most Americans dont realize that in most countries, house prices continued to go up through the 08-10 recession, so haven't gone down since the early 90s. Propert

My widowed father lives in a 4 bed family home. My widower mother-in-law lives in a 3 bed house with a massive basement. I have a 2 bed apartment that is full already. There isn't any space!

Its still trading a tiny fraction of what it was a year ago. I dont think anyone would look to SNAP as a good way to run a company.

I think this is pretty common with a lot of legacy code bases in popular languages. Lots of big systems on Java 8, Python 2, we wont talk about JS. :)

Ha. I actually meant as a social context, in a way to hang out and have fun. But now you mention it going into business (or charity) with friends could either be great or disastrous, but is worth checking.
