Could we also cap the loudness of Ads while we're at it? It's frankly absurd how loud some of these things are. It's like they're trying to make sure you hear the pitch even if you're on the other side of the house.

Bloomberg has the same story and cites high repair costs as one of the reasons, so you may be onto something.

The contractor is just a smokescreen in this case. The point is the Government pays the contractor, which is what shows up in subpoenas and congressional budget hearings, and the paperwork says the contract is in support of Such and Such co

The real question about the Game Awards is how much more can they sell out before people stop caring. It has become an unholy cross between E3 and the Golden Globes. And by "Golden Globes" I mean the old school, pay-to-win Golden

I was just popping in to make a similar comment. Fortran is probably doing the heavy lifting for most of the entries here, you might as well show how much your language-specific overhead is by including it.

You’re not just display the contents of copyrighted works publicly, they’re selling access. This flips the script for the 1st factor of the Fair Use test. Additionally, by selling it to people who use it to get news summaries, you can argue

You make a small mistake, which is really the fault of reporters for not explaining the somewhat complex world of Article I tribunals. The "International Trade Commission" is more properly known as "The United States Internat

That's why GP said 'vi', not 'vim' or 'neovim'. It's an important distinction. You can still get old-school vi on most distributions, and it is far smaller and lighter than vim. In my experience, it f

I work with an org that has 10's of thousands of users on keycloak, so there must be a way around the problem. I'm not administering the instance for this project, so I have no direct insight into how they deal with it.

Brook's Law - "Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later." This applies to all projects, not just software in my experience. Everyone thinks you just need to find the right expert who will magically just slot

The financial incentives encourage this. All FB cares about is the monthly and daily active users don't dip, and they get more ad impressions. They don't care if the content is fake, so long as it gets eyeballs on the page or in t

I looked around, and I can't find any names to pin to the investigation. There's a very low-tech way to find public staff contact information, but you need a name. I don't even have a telephone number for what is probably the

Great stories, but even in his day he was considered to be factually incorrect. I'll grant that he makes for a good read (his greek is certainly more engaging the Xenophon), but if you read what he has to say about Cyrus it's pret

Stop thinking about posting things and talk to a lawyer. I'm 100% serious here. Depending on what you post you could end up either a) sued for libel/slander/illegally recording (CA is a two-party consent state), or b) you co

When using AWS for anything, pray for the health of us-east-01. When that region has problems the whole internet quakes with fear. You never know what's going to break.

I think you're underestimating the area you need to search. See the wiki page[1]. There's so much space to look near, you need a much better guess before you can send any probes. A 9k year orbit, that starts at 340 AU, and has a

Unity skated by on their freemium pricing and easy programming languages. Unreal has been technologically superior for _years_, only held back by the high revenue split, the footguns the Blueprints came with, and how daunting the C++ inter

Wow, this is a blast from the past. Long story short, the original performer (Neustar) won the renewed contract, but everything went to hell and they got taken private by a PE firm. They sold off the entire registry unit to make some cash.

Come on, that's just absurd. No more IRS? No SSA? Good luck with all the angry seniors asking for their SSA checks beating down your door.

Ah, I had wondered why I got a message from my PM that JetBrains products were now banned at my workplace. Time to go back to editing everything in Vim, I guess.

I work in Contracting, so YMMV. For me, I have a separate laptop for every contract I work on, sometimes more than one for a given contract (for complicated compliance reasons). The reason for this is to a) prevent cross-contamination betwe

That explains why it was so quiet. Can we get another fire next weekend, I enjoyed the lack of IAD traffic flying a few hundred feet overhead. But yeah, there's understandably no chill in this area with regards to airspace monitoring.
