Agree. I see the concept but the analogy to grammar terminology doesn't quite fit. I'd suggest _corrective_.

I wish that hearing protection had been required or at least offered when I used to visit data centers frequently. They made a big deal of the fire suppression training, but never even suggested ear plugs. 20 year-old me had no idea how bad

The Wikipedia article certainly does not make clear which parts are fact and which are legend. There is a disclaimer early on, but after that, many statements are made and some of them are obviously factual, while others are related to the

I suspect the original poster was being sarcastic. But maybe not.

I assumed it only would only need to draw power for short periods and could disengage when not adjusting pressure.

Yeah, _localize_ has always meant to adapt something to its location, when I've seen it used. _Locate_ means to determine the location. Edit to add: But I can see how in a specialized field, where methods for locating an object are fre

I was reminded of Being There by Jerzy Kosiński: > In a garden, things grow... but first, they must wither; trees have to lose their leaves in order to put forth new leaves, and to grow thicker and stronger and taller. Some trees die, bu

He specified private COVID Test. I assumes that means that it is for someone who is not covered by the nationalized health system or that it is a situation not covered by insurance. Typically insurance in the US will only pay for testing if

Or people who leave their slack notifications audible while they are on video calls. The whole team is on the call and someone posts to the channel and you hear 10 slack notifications.

I am not sure if I disagree with your main point. But the conviction rate is only proof that they don't prosecute cases when they do not have the evidence to win.

My public U.S. high school history classes all included conflicting accounts from contemporary sources. Additionally we were several times asked to write position papers from an arbitrarily assigned side, regardless of our own opinions or t

Not sure what this has to do with my post. I meant my post as anti-censorship. That education in critical thinking is the answer to fake news, not censorship. But I am curious why Kamala Harris would be expected to resign now? There are sev

It's been a lot longer than a century. This is the natural order of things. Bertrand was not criticizing the media as much as he was pointing out its natural tendencies, which originate in the natural tendencies of humans. His solution

If there is to be toleration in the world, one of the things taught in schools must be the habit of weighing evidence, and the practice of not giving full assent to propositions which there is no reason to believe true. For example, the art

It is in fact traditional formal style, at least in the U.S., when writing the name of a married couple with a shared last name, to put the _woman's_ name first: "Jane and John Doe". In contrast, when using the titles it is t

I've been using 4k with linux for years. On large desktop screens I don't find fractional scaling to be necessary. The important text in apps that matter like terminals, text editors and browsers, chat clients, etc, has always sup

Preferential Voting is a system by which you can rank your preferences rather than choosing a single candidate. You might range Green party first, Democrat second. There are various methods of tallying the votes, but it usually means that y

I read three levels deep into everything in their readme and still have no idea what it is. I found out it's _like_ a lot of other things that have no description.

Not literally secret. They are just the changes that are particular to an environment or specific use case. They are just not things that are likely to get upstreamed so they are maintained as a fork.

Any evidence that the CIA is involved with the modern RFA, which is a different organization than the one with the same name that the CIA ran in the 50s?

by singlow 6y ago
Wasn't that a different organization that operated in the 50s? The modern RFA started in the 90s and gets federal funding but is not associated with the CIA. They probably should have used a new name, but is there any other reason you

Preceding with a single return is sometimes necessary because the escape sequence is only recognized at the beginning of a line. Not sure what the other incantations are for but may deal with situations where the ssh session is embedded in

I was taking "framework of the month" a little less literally.

You can't ignore it. If you ignore the framework that is a requirement for 20-30% of advertised positions, then you are limiting your ability to get hired. That may be good advice if you are the one architecting the new project, but no
