Your comment is needed as a parent / top-level for the discussion. A lot of people were confused about the 'V' portion in particular. Thanks for the insight.

I wonder if your "taste" for an apple is just so completely drowned out by your experience and exposure to the apple industry. Like, if I had the opportunity to taste every apple variety all the time, maybe the Honeycrisp starts t

SweeTango is a cross between Honeycrisp and Zestar. It would be interesting to know how many highly ranked apples are also crossed with a Honeycrisp on the top of the list. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SweeTango

I mean, but don't you need warm water and/or electricity? I can't see liking a bidet if it's basically just cold tap water shooting up my bum. Not sure that's going to do it for me. I've always thought that b

So long as Apple is willing to keep operating system updates available for the platform. This is by far the most frustrating thing. Apple hardware, amazing and can last for years and even decades. Supported operating system updates, only a

Yes, you're right. The dots thing isn't as powerful as the + separator. But it is useful for sites that have a poor understanding (or regex) associated to their address validator. In context of the parent comment, that's the

I don't know. Is it? This is a legit question, even though the tone might come across as sarcastic. But what exactly is the concern? I guess I don't buy the "outdated operating system will be hijacked" argument, for not

uBO has had this feature for awhile, since 1.34.0 (or 1.25.0 in advanced settings). https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dashboard:-Settings#u... I think that's around 2021 time frame. FYI.

I think an interesting use for copilot would be to ask it to find a bug given the description of an observed behavior. Let's say you're not super familiar with a code base, but yet you have found a bug (or "feature") tha

Do you feel like Debian has it different (worse) than other distributions? Does Debian not have the same number of maintainers paid by corporations, etc.? Like in comparison to Ubuntu or Redhat?

Yes, and this will lead to "sufficiently productive". And when that happens, employees will have a new game to play with their employers.

Java Records are immutable (by the most common definition). They don't have any means to update the record (via setters, etc.) after construction. That doesn't mean, for example, you can't store a reference to a mutable type

Both of these are great points. I do really appreciate an nginx (or other load balancer) front end. Or even cloudflare or whatever AWS/Azure offers. A simple horizontally scalable HTTP/1.1 backend with a reverse-proxy that can upl

Sneakily hard, actually. There's different versions of HTTP (of course), so pick your target. But when you hit HTTP/2.0, it's not a simple request/reply model (if HTTP/1.1 can be described as such). The intermixing

I consider all of these "complexities" to be failures on our part. Our primary job as a software developer or technology specialist should be to reduce complexity, not add to it. So the problem is that the one button is buried und

Yes. Kanban is the closest methodology that I have found that maps to the spirit of the Agile Manifesto. Kanban and Agile are very harmonious. Scrum is most definitely not "agile" by most definitions. The process of planning and r

I think it's unfortunate to not have headers as part of the client request and/or server response. I think headers can add a lot of extensibility and future proofing for use cases that can't be anticipated now. Especially whe

Allowing an application to run with privilege is different than allowing an application to crash the kernel. These are two different things. CloudStrike is effectively running as a Windows kernel module. Which in Windows, might as well be t

Windows should NEVER blue screen for third-party software. This is definitely as much Microsoft's fault as anyone's. Maybe Microsoft doesn't offer an ABI or whatever other access is needed for the CS module. So there's s

Right! Windows should NEVER blue screen. Ever. From a third-party software. Maybe Windows doesn't provide the right ABI or whatever for CS, but come on, you should never be able to kernel panic Windows. That this blue screened is 100%

Do you think the 2008 financial crisis had anything to do with it too? Like at that point, it was all focus on money, no focus on pet projects?

I wonder though, if compute was solely on-premise, would we be using so much of it? My instincts tell me that because the cloud is so easy to spin up new computation resources, that we're just using that much more of it. If a company h
