I thought it was due to the timer's frequency being programmable, and both operating systems setting and assuming different values. It's been a long time though and my memory is fuzzy.

Yep, this is something I always try to instill in my peers when writing tests. How much time does it take to get 100% code coverage, how much do you get paid, and if it was your startup would you burn through payroll cash to write them? W

Any Japanese care to chime in on how WFH is accepted culturally? When I worked for a Japanese tech company I was surprised by how old school they were. Landlines, business cards, reams of paper, week long meetings about policies, and this

When you are on your second rewrite, wondering why the new codebase already has as much tech debt as the previous, it's because you don't have a Linus. Better engineers might help, but what really matters is a better filter, one

Compared to a PC, copying and pasting on a phone is physically laborious. Switching to the app, selecting the text, switching back, possibly fiddle with the cursor position and then finally pasting by waiting for the phone to interpret a lo

I remember suggesting to our security admin to add a 'honeytoken' user to our production database in case it ever got owned. At least you would know you were owned.

What makes me sad is it's not even necessary. I have complete confidence Microsoft can turn chromium into a better Chrome than Google can. It would be easy - integrate a real ad blocker. It's something Google would never do but

My father-in-law was a produce inspector for 40+ years. He said that after a while, all he ever did was smell it. He could be walking up to the truck or rail car from across the parking lot and know if it was good or bad.

Citizens are complicit in how their governments hurt society. I'm not sure what he's getting at.

For dynamically typed languages, the idea is you make up for that class of bugs by incorporating TDD and having lots and lots of unit tests. So, instead of waiting a minute for the typescript compiler, you wait for the engineer to write tes

With tritium's short half-life, it seems like it could be ruled out by simply waiting.

Representative democracy doesn't really represent me. I want to go online and fill out a long, myers briggs like personality test that judges my political leanings, and then have that data fed to a script that votes on all the issues f

We have three layers of it now. Control Panel: win 3.0 lineage Computer Management/device manager: WinNT lineage Settings: Win8 lineage It's all a big mess. You want to configure your audio settings or printer? You'll find

It's a pretty obvious solution, especially to any programmer. I'm having a hard time thinking of a situation where you have information, some more important and some less, where the correct solution is to delete the less important

I remember my friend modified the win 3.1 startup shell and replaced progman.exe with winfile.exe. Program manager wasn't needed. You could run any program from file manager, and it also had File->Run... menu option.

My problem with Facebook is they actively try to make your feed controversial. You can unfriend 95% of the haters and some how that remaining 5% will fill up 50% of your feed, and it's not because they are posting more frequently.

A friend told me a story of a job he got with a consulting company working for a phone company. Their job was to move all of the data from the old system to the new system. They had a multiyear contract where they charged millions to move

The technical reasons for Fuchsia to exist are debatable. The real reason it exists is because Linux is GPL.

If it's not life threatening, you are not allowed to physically hold someone. They'll be guilty of theft and you'll be guilty of assault. It has to be self-defense, then you can only response with equal force. Other than s

Sadly, I'd have to agree. If you don't think so, try submitting a patch. They are a very exclusive group. Outsiders need not apply.

It's the USA. Some states you can shoot trespassers. Others, like mine generally require a life threatening situation before deadly force is authorized.
