Source code probably involves libraries from other companies and covers patents owned by other people. No one is building a product from complete scratch.

Who is asking for bad regulation?

The usual concern with regulation is not the big players. It’s the smaller products and businesses that cease to exist because it’s too expensive to meet regulations. Bad regulation raises the cost of entry into the market and strengthens t

I don’t think there is a right call. You just have to live the life that you’ve been handed and the adapt accordingly. It’d suck if no one knew how to repair anything, but it’d also suck if everyone repaired everything all the time. But we

I don’t think there is anything that you can do. The only reason people switch from old communities to new ones is because of a vastly better UI for your average user. See the switch from Usenet to forums to Stack Overflow / Facebook

Voting could either mean you spent 10 hours researching or you picked the name that you recognize the most. And the people who care are working to make sure you recognize the right names.

I think it’s a lot of factors because when driving an automatic ‘99 Honda Accord, it’s pretty obvious when you’re not driving 35mph anymore. That said, after driving the same vehicle for a while, at least for me, I can usually guess how fas

Same. Working around the issues with SVG sometimes takes as long as rewriting parts of SVG from scratch. It’s not an SVG problem so much as Canvas and SVG are not reconciled into one bigger rendering system, so when you hit an edge case tha

One thing which ties this all together is that Apple has a full-blown legitimate OS that can run professional software that already exists. Throw it into a headset, driving up the price significantly, but potentially make a computer replace

But that to me just says that radiation definitely delays growth and a little radiation already affects a much larger organism like a plant, it’s probably hurting smaller organisms much more.

Umm according to Wikipedia, Deja News was turning into a shopping site, going bankrupt and shutting down the Usenet archive. So Google came in and saved it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Groups#Deja_News

Well it halved childhood cavities in the 50s. It did its job and I don’t think it’s hard to understand why it was done. Same reason why they stared iodine to salt… because people were having mental development issues. Now is it still necess

I've known a lot of people who did DDoS and it's honestly like speeding. Chances are that everyone is already doing it so you're not going to get caught, unless you decide to go 140 mph in a 55 mph zone or DDoS Chase bank. DD

There's no reason a JIT'd runtime is going to find this job challenging or slow at all. I don't know what OP's original code is but maybe OP was calling a Canvas API method for every pixel (super bad).

The world is really decoupling with China because it is so unpredictable. Xi made himself forever leader only 10 years ago and it's been a unpredictable rollercoaster of policy since then. Stability is the foundation of every working r

True Crime modeled LA 1:1 although the game didn’t do that much with it. Also, GTA V doesn’t model LA 1:1 but holy fuck it’s practically LA.

I can confirm that maintaining a Kubernetes cluster is a full time job. Due to its design, there are a lot of moving parts even for the most minimum deployments. Low key I hate touching Google-created projects. On paper technically sound bu

I think we should drop the word firmware. Firmware is just software. And to be honest, the distinction has never been so much a technical one but more of a ownership one. Firmware is really software that you take for granted and “software”
