You should look up more on this time. The floor mats were blamed, but in at least a couple of these cases, it was found that the occupant claimed to have hit the brakes, but actually hit the accelerator. There is also a staggering number of

Yeah. Medium did help to consolidate searching for blogs, but it also vastly increased the extremely low effort, and encourages bringing hot garbage takes to the spotlight. I have yet to find a technical writer on medium that isn’t basicall

I guess I just don’t quite get it. Every small and large business accounting suite (some costing less than this!) offers invoicing that meets incredible amounts of use cases. Doesn’t seem like something I’d use or recommend.

Canadas ISP situation was far better when Crown corporations were providing better, cheaper services. In standard fashion, conservative government successfully convinced half the population that it’d be better if the crowns were sold. Spoil

This just in: Improperly handled input is, and continues to be far and away the most prominent and exploited security issue (outside of phishing). I am actually a bit afraid on rust for situations like this. Similar to how bicyclists get su

No. You do deserve privacy, however, you cannot expect it in all circumstances. You cannot expect privacy when walking down a sidewalk, you cannot expect to own a company without anyone knowing that.

Corporations are not people. People deserve privacy. Corporations do not necessarily also deserve privacy. Who runs a corporation 100% should not be a secret, ever.

My neighbourhood used to put on an Easter egg hunt for the kids. Parents donate a bunch of chocolate eggs and other volunteers spread them around a large park. Unfortunately this event had to be cancelled because some parent were running ar

Software developers rarely question the hardware they are developing on/for. Unless you were developing in the pentium and earlier era, it has almost definitely not been true for you that “the hardware is not capable of running this id

Aliases have their own problems. You may have to propagate the alias, or define different aliases with the same type all over the place. Then you have issues with changing code. Complex composed types just have this issue to be honest, and

They didn’t claim that it was new. They claimed it should be tried as new as they only became aware of the illegal part of the process recently, and I agree with that. Being able to hide your bullshit for a few years until it’s established

Redis didn’t go “suddenly proprietary”. They switched to a source available license. Cloud providers will need to pay if they’re making money selling redis.

I’m very sorry, but “native looking ui components” is a thing of the past. I might put some effort in if developing on Mac (but even Apple just does whatever), but on Windows and Linux, the components are a free for all. If even Microsoft w

The most common cause of sleep apnea is anything that obstructs your airways. Being overweight does that and is far and away the most common cause of sleep apnea.

No see. Now you’re taking a third definition of faith and mangling it to shift the goal posts. This is a constant thing we see among religion argument. I do agree with you that “faith” is often defined in this way, but it is absolutely not

When the evidence you present is defeated and you respond “that’s where you have to have faith”, that is literally “belief absent evidence”. That’s not even counting the types of “evidence”. Like “ nature is beautiful” and “bananas fit in y

It is not. I would welcome you to watch actual debates. This definition of faith is what happens when arguments are defeated. The response will always be “Well that’s where you have to have faith”

Nah dude. That’s exactly what I am saying. Your “faith” in science is not misplaced, and it is not absent evidence of working. If science didn’t work, you couldn’t have written that comment. You also have evidence that a small minority of p
