Online control is like a squatter waiting for years in the bushes on your yard and it only takes one time that you forget to lock your door and he sneaks in and claims he lives in your home, and uses all possible legal loopholes to prevent

Surely you would have the originals locally and not rely on youtube to archive yours uploads?

Not necessarily, no, but empirically yes. Paper-shuffling used to be not a major issue in a doctor's work day. It was merely something that yes, sure you had to log new patient data and whatnot for reference, but you were mostly free t

It's still kind of all relative. There's a lot of criticism by the local people against Helsinki being too car-friendly. Pedestrian crossings deemed dangerous being simply removed rather than putting traffic lights to tame the car

People, in their excitement to play with or write cool tools to automate boring details in the programming process, often underestimate the value of boring grunt work. While what you're doing consciously is something simple you're

Thanks, this is good information. So it then fits the overall picture that they would've actually bumped into these switches in the rush of emergency eventhough they're never expecting the switches to actually be off.

It is known that the switches cannot effectively be flipped by accident. It is known that the switches were set to "cut-off" because they were then later restored to "run", so it was not an electrical fault (i.e. switche

I can't really tell which sounds more horrible, the instructions for navigating such a party event or the existence of such an event in the first place.

The project is theoretically a good idea but it's not really practical, and nobody is honestly suggesting it for real -- surely plans are cheap, and planning is even cheaper. But there are fewer than handful of railway lines crossing o

Shouldn't be too hard to rewrite 2010 Facebook from scratch, and keep it like that. Follow what your friends are doing, and when you post yourself be certain that your friends will actually see your update.

Many have said that it's useful to delegate writing boilerplate code to an AI so that you can focus on the interesting bits that you do want to write yourself, for the sake of enjoying writing code. I recognize that and I kind of agree

I can imagine he wouldn't be interested in any of that. The joy of hacking only emerges when there are no external demands. That's why work sucks and you need to pay people to work for your demands.

Question is what domain/field is the next virgin frontier for hackers, unspoiled of commercial greed and integrated and locked down solutions, where you can still not only buy things but also own them, and rebuild from parts what you b

Using the C preprocessor is standard, available, compatible and the major usage patterns are "known". For a lot of cases, they're way easier to reason about rather than learning how an external generation tool is used to ge

What Ukraine needs and wants is a mechanism of a security guarantee that actually works (whether it's foreign troops stabilizing the eastern areas forever or get back enough nukes to keep Russia away). This is a life-or-death question

I'd say starting a company to make something people want in order to sell it for money is still relevant. It's just that you're looking at working quietly, humbly, but perseverantly for the next 25 years, slowly growing the b

Yes, old and new games for outdated systems will easily outlast modern games. I can still play a game from 1985 on an emulator today but how many contemporary games can I play in 2065 ?
