My SE battery will cost $80 to replace, but since I only paid $120 for the phone it's not a good deal. I'll just wait a bit and get another used SE for $120 when the battery life gets too annoying. I doubt that many other customer

My kids did not learn, perhaps because new kids kept coming to learn the lesson. And they generally can't connect a non-working disc to a specific act. Instead, a disc stops working after dozens of cumulative actions. We never replaced

Which countries make Jury Nullification a constitutional right for defendants? I looked at the wikipedia article (US section), and it only refers to it as power possessed by a jury.

Setting up git is the easy part. We all used it. Except the owner of the company who would fix bugs in prod and not tell anyone. Then next release we'd unintentionally un-fix those bugs because the fixes never made it back to source co

My first impression is the dark mode color contrast is poor compared to VSCode defaults (I tested a few things with CCA Colour Contrast Analyser). I'm sure this is all configurable but it was off-putting to me. I'm still intereste

I think 999 of those databases are the same data set. I lost a password ten years ago from a blog breach and I get almost a monthly notification about it showing up again and again.

They can still sell it. We shouldn't assume because the webservers were shut down that everything is deleted and gone. When the article says it's "gone" they mean it is no longer available to the public.

I think you are talking about Usability here. Usability: This button is hard to understand and/or confusing to operate. Accessibility: I cannot operate the button AT ALL, cannot perceive it, or can only do so using advanced assistive t

I don't know that it's true that moving a lot means you work with more people. I'm at my current company 10 years. From being here 10 years I now know tons of people who came here for 2 years and left. Not to mention all the

>> That's perfectly fine as a natural key; its definition is the first CPR number assigned. I don't know about CPR's, but in the US SSN's get recycled. So two people can have the same "first SSN" assigned

Yeah, agree, but they don't have to cancel the disparagement clause. They could just eat the PR hit. Allowing former employees to talk freely seems risky to me (if I were them). I think we can give them back 5 points for this move but

Yeah, if you like sorting garbage. Which of the 1.5 million books published this year will you read? People routinely hide money in mattresses, so why not head to the landfill and start looking? I sometimes read/watch/play somethi

I also read the article and felt that the tone was weird. Much of what's described is unsurprising in a for-profit business. The fact that these big companies are willing to publish so many unprofitable books seems like a good thing to

After reading a few business books I noticed that everyone uses the same case studies (i.e. Toyota) but claims the companies were successful because of the title of the book I happen to be reading.

I was trained in North Carolina and our trainers explained that don't-attach was a traditional method that is now widely disproven. Encouraging attachment is now strongly recommended even though reunification is still Plan A.

You are talking about main characters in your life, the people you are getting to know more over time. Ex: The Simpson Family Parent comment is talking about side characters, people you spend very little time with but run into somewhat freq

The first sentence for me is "Sid Sijbrandij knows a thing or two about building, scaling and even walking away from companies. His current venture, GitLab, is doing over $100 million in revenue and is valued at over $1 billion."

I'm sure how it compares, but here it's $5 USD for a book you'll finish in 15-30 minutes. I find that to be _very_ expensive and I have a great job. So expensive that I've given up on buying and I always go to the libr

The first time the resource is accessed is the most important. You have precious few seconds before the user instinctively reaches for the back button. See http://www.fastcompany.com/1825005/how-one-second-could-cost..

Trying to get old Ultimas working on my 486 was my inroad to software engineering. I believe Exult still requires you to have the basic game data, which the gog version happily provides. I setup exult on top of the version i got from gog.

Do you mean to say "fail to die faster"? You can't hasten evolution by doing stuff, unless that stuff affects you passing on your genes to your children. You pass the exact same genetic materiel regardless of how many pushu

On the web it's sort of all strings, so it's not hard to be in a situation where you have "length=7" & "cat=tabby" and get into a problem. Beyond that, many developers are in the habit of using primitives

This should be a basic requirement for all games. Even before I was married my mom would call or someone would ring the doorbell. And when I was a kid I had to go down to dinner or take out the trash.
