Depends on your area. Both conditions are trending towards extremes. Some areas are seeing more rain that are traditionally sunny and vice versa even.

Right. Someone at H&R Block wanted to know "what pages or functions do people with 1 dependent use the most". This query seems innocent enough. It's maybe logical and an easy thing to ask for without realizing the implica

This is an insightful interview, thank you for the link. I'm well read up on the topic, but this interview was still great and is a good perspective on the checked/unchecked debate. The fact that Java has introduced UncheckedIOExc

Some people get lonely. But that's not universal. Meetings shouldn't be social for the sake of being social. I agree that there's a social aspect to work, but don't use meetings as an excuse for social engagement. Inst

Ha ha. I'm the opposite. See it being posted in HN and a "recommendation" from Google. Sounds like the marketing wheel in motion. That's my sign of turning away. I'll wait for your review before deciding. I much pre

Thank you for the thorough and enlightening reply. I should have revised my statement to be something more like, "... what github offers is not traditionally utilized in git", because you're right, git doesn't need githu

I hear what you're saying, and probably a large number of developers are just shrugging and thinking, "let me know when it's back up". But remember, that also a large part of what github offers is not directly available

That's interesting and extremely agitating. I had always thought the majority of the lottery fees were going back to the park for use and maintenance of the resource. I get it, there is an underlying profit motive that needs to be sati

What would you suggest as an alternative? Do you have a list of github problems that tips you over to said alternative(s)?

Good to know, thank you for the reply. I'll take a look.

Would love to use them. But the pricing is too much. I need a custom domain (or three). And I have a family of 6 people. So that's $5 / user / month = $30 / month = $360 / year. Unfortunately, that's not justif

Vultures do more than eat. True, that's one of their functions. But a literal vulture capitalism would have probably included business entities created and maintained by the vultures themselves. They'd probably need an economy, a

Interactive programs wouldn't work very well with this idea. And then you're what, stuck with always piping through some anti-color application each time too? Seems cumbersome.

My ability to work in an office efficiently or at home efficiently has zero bearing on whether my job can be replicated by an AI. - If a job can be outsourced, it will be outsourced. - If a job can be eliminated, it will be eliminated

I'm not even following this, "Unnatural" ... Work from Home - Throughout the ages of man, I would tend to believe that more work has been done at home than at any notion of modern workplace. Farming, milling, iron working, et

I mean, honestly yes. His show was shocking because it was so surprising how people behaved. In truth, it was a foreshadowing. The momentum had already began back then.

This is insightful. > Open source always requires self-interest to fuel it. That self-interest doesn't necessarily have to be profit motivated either. As one of the replies to your comment suggest, probably the majority of open so

Slashdot did a pretty good job of romanticizing this type of thing for a couple of decades before HN. Miss the old /.

I mean, I am pretty sure (have seen first hand) that this already happens regardless of whether client cookies are enabled. There's so many other (good?) ways to track users beyond just a cookie.

Ostensibly, yes. But in practice, Chuck Norris compiles his own personal fork of Linux by hand. [1] https://web.archive.org/web/20110818104209/http://dearandroi... [2] https://snipe.net/2

Absolutely never. OK, maybe once or twice, down at the very low level of some custom distributed database or event messaging system. Everyone else uses the already established defacto standard library from $language.

You're right, these are donations. But they are donations that are determined based on the number of units sold. I believe that's why the parent is using the term royalty. It's not a contract, as the term "royalty"

I am of the opinion that the process used to create this image (or any AI image) can be considered an art form. For the author to correctly find the language and prompts needed for an AI to generate this image is a new type of art-form, fro

This is exactly right. At a community college, you're likely to find an adjunct professor who is an expert in their field teaching on the side more for the fun and altruistic aspects of education. At a normal university, you end up tak

I thought it was common in most companies to have a little "hub" where your office/section/area printers are housed. Here is where you'd normally look to find a stapler, tape, or any other supplies needed for printi

Yes, agreed. But not in a clean "fluent" style. There's something nice about the fluent style that appeals to me (at least). And I don't like having to provide one constructor for every optional (default) value, when its
