Good try but an errant example. American English treats "police" as a plural noun (although maybe not always in Baltimore). In the British style, "Microsoft have released a press briefing"; in American, "Microsoft

And yet we have the interstate commerce clause, giving the fed a direct line to meddle freely in any matter whatsoever.

In what world is scrapping the airframes due to a (serious) software fault the best and most sensible solution? Do you believe there could be undiagnosed problems with the wings, fuselage, tail, hydraulics, electrics, fueling system, gear,

I haven't found this ("integration with external authorization systems is an extremely basic requirement") to be the case at all; most solutions ship with tightly-coupled access control mechanisms, and it is an exercise for t

This is... not a useful general-purpose scan tool for web APIs. A warning because port 443 is open, no kidding? And a lot of carping about HTTP headers relevant to frontend apps.

I've been thinking about the apparent drop in burglary too; seems like there's not too much worth stealing nowadays, aside from jewelry, firearms, and perhaps carpets, art, and sculpture at the very high end. More homes have secu

Computer Shopper was a strangely entertaining publication--the crude design, the suuuper homemade ads. Who needs a Hayes 9600 modem?

It seems as though you might be describing a process with state stored in an RDBMS or the like. Which, while a perfectly reasonable approach, is not much like the initially-described case of firing a bunch of "send email to foo@exampl

The late investors aren't forced to liquidate and any liquidation preference is extinguished at IPO... the terms of the IPO having been properly authorized, the formerly-preferred holders simply have no special say in the matter anymor

The execs can't, like, force the underwriters to exercise the greenshoe, so they'll be stuck holding the bag until the price rises above the IPO price, in that regard.

Ah, let me restate the question: suppose the user has clicked a button to approve sending 5,000 emails; the server process puts 2,000 messages onto a queue for later processing--but then, something occurs to interrupt adding the remaining 3

The dependency graph is one of the better reasons to use makefiles--think of the nonlinearity as a bonus!

Your intuition about the grocery store's liability may have some deficiencies. A victim of food poisoning from negligence could absolutely bring suit against both the store and the yogurt maker.

You're going to want Zip, Jaz, and Bernoulli drives of course! Maybe some external SCSI enclosures. And now I'm trying to recall why Ethernet transceivers were necessary...

Was Connectix RAM Doubler still around in '99? I remember it was very popular around the dorms a few years prior, when 16MB RAM was considered fairly robust.

As a previous user of ConEmu / Cmder I'd like to agree with you, but they are so inferior to a well set-up terminal+shell on Mac or Linux. I mean, without a great shell, what good is the terminal?

Also, it might have been more challenging to schedule the trains and keep them from smashing into one another without some kind of a common timetable.

Excellent recall--I had almost entirely forgotten about ".NET Passport," one of Microsoft's many premature plays at being an identity provider. This certainly added to confusion at the time about .NET's actual form... s

Yep! Scala's pattern matching is so far ahead of Kotlin's, vis a vis destructuring, that it strains the conscience to say Kotlin has pattern matching at all. FWIW I find both to be enjoyable languages in which to work.

I'm scratching my head as to the possible identity of the mystery SUV. Luxury SUV, Japanese, uses a turbo... maybe the Acura RDX? And the transmission housing is not stout enough to contain gear shrapnel?

IME the solution for "not have to fudge with Linux for getting work done at work" has been simply to use Debian + ohmyzsh + i3wm. It has never broken for me in day-to-day use as Fedora had.

The unpardonable sin seems quite... vaguely specified, and open to endless debate. What sin is a sin against the Holy Ghost? What sin is not?
