Right, if you put your tip on your card (or the restaurant adds it automatically), that's going to have a record because it's not in cash. The restaurant owners want this because having the records of tips means they don't ha

Part of the problem is the definition has drifted, and the cell carriers want to (understandably) keep using the old definition, and the tech geeks (understandably) want the new one. When "unlimited" data became a thing, it was in

I agree it's a "people skill", but I think phrasing it that way has two road blocks. The first is that the self-help industry of "people skill" books and their "phone tag" translations through the media an

If I remember right from the last time I looked into this, they also fined members for making bulbs that lasted shorter than 1000 hours. The goal was a standardized product, largely to protect regional sales agreements rather than any spec

I wonder if the middle ground is when one needs to be "unkind" in words, they should be "kind" in action. I worked on a team that had been moved to a project, in part because that project was behind schedule, haphazard a

This made me curious about what macOS does. Using the finder, whether via menu command or drag and drop will rename the file automatically to ${filename} hh.mm.ss.${ext} But mv does not. Interestingly, it doesn’t appear Apple has added

Rental also enables economic and educational mobility, and provides (some) shelter against severe economic losses that are risks when you own property. For my own part, renting enabled me to move across the country as an 18 year old for a h

This is definitely a problem. Turns out once you start getting to the "going to destroy your liver / stomach" levels of NSAIDs and Tylenol, there really isn't anything other than opioids for pain management. Unfortunatel

Far and away the best "QA" people I ever worked with were people who couldn't write a line of code. Because they didn't have a programmer mindset, they also didn't approach using the software like a programmer, whic

I don't know, you see plenty of people stating they only do X hours of real work in a given day. That sounds an awful lot like the same basic idea. If I think about it too, half the lines of code being wasted is probably a relatively r

My approach is to have strong opinions (weakly held), and ask if people have objections to the tradeoffs. That tends to keep the focus on specific reasons to choose a given path rather than you and someone else just having different prefere

Well that was an unnecessarily hostile response, especially since you appear to have misunderstood or misread what I wrote. I did not say that the files were unlinked at the filesystem level and somehow recovered as is. I said that they lik

The most obvious answer is that files aren’t deleted from the filesystem until they need to be overwritten. Instead they are marked as deleted and just left un-displayed / un-indexed until they’re finally overwritten by some need to us

I just replaced an iPhone X last year with a 15 that was still on the original battery. From my records, looks like I got it in early 2018, so pretty much 5 years. Admittedly for about the last year, that usable battery was largely complete

Sure, I would imagine such clauses exist to make this sort of thing a lot cleaner and easier. I also don't see how it could be reasonable to assert that in the absence of such a clause, an actor owns the rights to the voice of that cha
