China’s incompetent response was at worse as bad as, say, the US, UK or the EU’s incompetent response at least a few months later when the scale and dangers of this virus were far more evident. Heck, in the US the President is still engagin

The issue is that the price is paid by a set of people who are different from the people who benefit from this. And the people who benefit are the ones in power, whereas the ones who suffer are the ones without power. So the trade offs are

I’m on 19.04 and haven’t experienced the swiping up. Could it have to do with me running i3 instead of Gnome?

I think this is a far better idea than recycling. Ok, maybe not the cat house one, which only applies to a few people, but the book/magazine holder, for example, is something everyone could use. I think more companies should look at ma

If you’re selling server chips you’re likely selling to clients who are gonna do their own tests and trials under their use cases anyways. They aren’t even gonna look at numbers supplied by the manufacturer. And if you advertise power consu

It killed 4000 people because they basically shut down cities and villages to allow it to do so. If they hadn’t obliterated those places the death toll would be a lot higher. I haven’t heard of entire cities being shutdown due to solar acci

I suspect it’s the need to deliver a new OS every year. Apple used to maintain a 2 year (or longer) cadence earlier. I suspect the first few months after each release used to be focused on hardening it. With the yearly release cycle they pr

No it doesn’t. The term unbricking also exists, which directly contradicts the idea that a bricked device cannot be recovered.

by thawaway1837 7y ago
This is an unnecessary pedantic argument that is also wrong. Bricking does not mean unrecoverable. That’s why the term unbricking exists. It’s absolutely ok to call something that most regular users will be unable to fix on their own and in

That’s ironic because arguably C++ became a much better language in the last decade or so than what it was before that.

I think it makes sense to formally drop the IE dependency in versions sooner than when you’re making changes that actually break IE. Besides, replacing jquery May indeed be why they chose to drop IE right now. One of the biggest selling poi

So you will be paying what foreign students always do, without access to cheap loans, or scholarships, the majority of which are restricted to citizens. And they don’t even have a guarantee that they will be allowed to work afterwards even

Only if your employer has already applied for your H1B. It’s 1 and a half year, and the reason it exists is (a) most students graduate and start jobs after the current year’s H1B process is already over, and (b) if you don’t get your employ

I’d argue that having the internet limited to a handful of gatekeepers, all of whom are sustained by ad dollars, is probably far more responsible for ruining the internet. I find it hard to believe that in a world where Google and Facebook’

I don’t really get this article. If you have the foresight, and money, to pay to transplant an entire industry from a place which manufacture masks for 2 cents as opposed to one that does it for 10 cents, wouldn’t it be a lot easier, cost e
