They don't have to be exclusive to appear exclusive. You can find the same conversation popping up all the time about people being snobby about the color of their chat bubbles. "Think different" may as well mean "think l

Boeing believed they shipped it as a standard feature, and included it in the plane's the manual. They found out in 2017 that it wasn't working. After their shitty planes start falling out of the sky they turn it on for the loudes

I'd like to see where that 70% of job growth being from California comes from. Not that I'm trying to be argumentative, but seems to be wildly unlikely. The top "growth" in terms of average number of employed increase do

Does the "you are no longer logged in" screen not infuriate anyone besides me? There doesn't seem any purpose to it just redirecting you to the landing page when you were trying to access a forum post that doesn't even r

I don't understand this. Were you afraid your stove was a weapon in disguise?

I think there might be fewer people who actively seek them out, so competition might be similar to any other job. I know a common sentiment I see spread around to would-be remote workers is that you need to work on-site for a while and then

I believe Artifactory proxies and caches PyPi as well via remote repos.

Well we would never know the answer to these questions, and more, unless we looked. Maybe there is no causation or relation, maybe there is, what is the issue with finding out? I'm sure at one point studying many of the attributes of w

I mean that is a significant reason mobile development is fragmented. Some things have to be tailored for the device if you want any kind of mass appeal or reliability. I think it would be a huge mistake to NOT tailor a specific experience

This article made me wonder, if overnight everyone switched to electric vehicles what would happen to the coal industry? I'm not advocating for either, but would we see a significant resurgence? I'm unsure if electric vehicle use

I tried doing what the OP described, become some interesting blogger person, but threw in a 2 or 3 line article about some mundane error I had with a tool one day mixed in with all the other wordfluff. Surprisingly the error code drew a ton

I would have done the same thing. It doesn't mean there is a law granting us permission to do so, which was the part of the comment I replied to that I took issue with. Its just something that is gray and we have to do when we need to.

You don't get the right to speed due to an emergency. Call an ambulance. To your other point, it is not "flouting the other" law (yield the passing lane) if its 1 person doing 100 mph trying to pass you. The law is in respect

This is what I was looking for, and I truly believe you are completely wrong as well. I follow the line of thinking that includes utility software and backend services/platforms as described here: https://en.wikipedia.org&#x

Maybe it would be easier for both of us if you wrote the definition for real-time or systems programming, rather than just saying something isn't one or the other.

Real-time programming can be done in any language, Java for example. I think you're conflating writing device drivers/kernels with systems programming, which includes those things but is not limited by them. Regardless, the term&

by sl1ck731 7y ago
Go is a systems language. The term isn't confined to device drivers. It includes platform/backend software such as web servers and things like message queues or the Docker ecosystem. The term is nebulous though.

The author says as much. The title is clickbait, but the article basically says you're locked into AWS no matter what, and arguing over stuff like Lambda lock-in is pointless considering the other avenues AWS already has you on (like I

I wasn't talking about sales tax, only yearly tax filings. Anything that is on an itemized tax return should be moved elsewhere into programs specifically for giving money for that instead of being given a coupon off of what you owe. I

The point is they aren't all based on societal good. The ones we use as individuals and like might be, but how many corporate tax incentives exist that are bad for everyday people? It shouldn't be the IRS's business to reward

I'm in the camp that there should be no incentives for taxes for anything. Similarly there should be no difference in filing married vs separately or with children. To me it just feels wrong to incentivise living a certain lifestyle by

The problem with this is Netflix appeared as a one stop shop. That was what people wanted. Now that the streaming market is splintered you need 3 services for all the content a typical person wants to see. I can see this contributing to a c
