I used to do tri's 10 years ago. Was sorta into it. Friend was super into it. Tri athletes are super into aerodynamics over weight (weight is still important but aerodynamics are more so IE disk wheel inserts etc etc). The reason be

Carbon fiber is extremely durable when it is designed to be stressed in the directions it's designed for. For instance if you eat shit and fall laterally the frame is likely to crack :). When you invest in these kinds of bikes you end

Nothing is more American than taking government money and then not paying your workers enough on top of it requiring your customers to determine if your workers receive a fair wage or not. It's like how CA taxes you on your unemploymen

So if you operate a bicycle you might understand what's actually going on here a bit more. The first parts of the movement are actually quite responsive but don't result in a huge change. If the wheels moved as the drive dictated

XML was/is great. It was the issue with people abusing the shit out of CDATA and comments to do meta programming inside the XML and making it an absolute nightmare. I believe it was an additional reason why comments were excluded from

I believe they run a heat conductive fluid through heat exchange coils in the ground. This allows you to pump heat into the ground during winter and extract said heat (not sure how accurate this is) during the winter.

Actually it's worse than that... Funimation AQUIRED crunchyroll. Then changed their name. So technically it's still funimation under sony.

Nah fuck this. Someone on the plane I was on kept triggering it to do bluetooth attacks ('not your airpods') while I was trying to read (and have my earphones on connected via bluetooth so fuck me right?). There's hacked firm

if it's built in house it's probably got some business logic / rules built into it. This tool wont necessarily know about any specifics about how the database relates to your business.

How many bad economic decisions were based on cocaine usage back in the day? I think the point is that with higher paying and salaried jobs you are practically exempt from having repercussions due to drug usage while a lowerpaid wage worker

I think your bit at the end is the most important. ANY communication is better than no communication "everything is fine, it must be you" is the worst feeling in these cases. Especially if your business is reliant on said service

I did the same thing moding a game I loved back then on my mac via ResEdit. So damn handy. And set me off on the path of programming for sure.

according to some studies it's around 50 bugs per 1,000 LoC. So that puts it at about 1 bug per 20 LoC Some estimates are something as high as 75 bugs per 1,000 LoC but that many bugs don't make it out to customers because of QA &

I know a lot of people here are missing the mark - the issue here is EMPATHY not -feelings-. "We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. We don’t

yeah screw this. if they are claiming that they hacked their DRM they should absolutely counter sue that this DRM counts as sabotage and/or domestic terrorism. There was literally code in there that told the trains to stop working af

You are dismissing a lot of things. Steams memory footprint is generally lower. The social aspect of it actually works and can be disabled to free up resources (first mover I'll admit). And the UI is dramatically less offensive than

Another point to consider here. Even if EVs are powered by fossil fuels. A powerplan producing electricity and transmitting it to your house is orders of magnitude more efficient than generating energy from gasoline in a motorvehicle using

From what I understood about GIMPs development is that they have to purposefully make things "different" from photoshop so as to not get sued. Which makes going from PS to GIMP incredibly painful (I too, tried a few times). I thi

Trees actually carbon sink via growth aka creating wood. The CO2 they breathe in is turned mostly into growth / basic functioning. So no, you are NOT destroying the potential. In fact, if they grow and die and rot they are going to e

Agreed. The most "long term" effect a US president has is nominating supreme court justices. I also fail to see how a "code of conduct" might change the way individual justices interpret the current constitution. Worse
