I've yet to find instances where electrical tape comes off of its own accord when wrapped. Even the electrical tape submerged 24x7 on my well pump had to be unwrapped.

You should also never name your faulty/flaky Dell server Bob when Bob is also the name of your company president (though the president came after the server). Calling Bob (the server) a piece of shit ("Bob is a piece of shit"

Whoever operates the smtp servers for icloud.com complained loudly enough that their job was too hard because of all the traffic, but not loudly enough for someone smart enough to hear about it, until it was announced to the public.

Maybe it's just me, but the explanations of the cause don't align. One clue was that during corruption incidents, our metrics showed that SQLite would report copying more pages from the WAL file than were actually available. If t

Our idiots decided to conduct phishing tests by allowing KnowB4 to send "official" phishing emails. The kind that Outlook/Exchange don't flag as "outside your organization." So now there's no real way to

This is what URIs were for. It's too bad we don't have nice things like book://9781250781253 or movie://le%20samourai or song:// or livesports://

If it had a “good” square footage, it would be touted front and center. Because it’s not, you know it doesn’t. I see this all the time with motorcycle PPE. If something was CE A, AA, or AAA rated, it’d be at the top of the description/

Surely the dev wasn't able to merge that one-line code fix causing 6 weeks of testing without any other eyes on it and without someone else's PR-like approval...right?

This isn’t to whom parent is referring, but you can watch this video about wet timing belts for an idea https://youtu.be/0SASSFjIt5I In short, it’s an awful idea because even if the belt doesn’t fail early, debris from the

Idiomatically, it’s “WHAT something looks LIKE” or “HOW something looks.” It’s never, in EFL, “HOW…LIKE” Next up is “make” vs “take” a decision.

Come on, it’s not like the two are even within the same magnitude or three “But if you have to check an identifier for revocation on every request you could just use an opaque session ID and look that up on every request instead!”

Nonsense like this reminds me of the following quote from the 1999 Thomas Crown Affair movie: “Have you figured out what you're going to say to your board when they realize you paid me thirty million more than others were offering?” In

A manager somewhere made the embarrassingly wrong decision to not fix this, and they’re too egotistical to correct their mistake. That’s my take.

I think the "keep it after 4 years" program is to eliminate a huge disposal/recycling cost from the schools. A 4 year old ChromeBook is effectively worthless, and can't (shouldn't) just be thrown in the garbage. Wh

I'm surprised 5-7 torpedo warheads detonating didn't do more damage to it. About 2750kg-4000kg of high explosive.

Because it’s a mythical silver bullet of increased output combined with reduced costs. It makes me think of an executive I once reported to who “increased velocity” by changing the utilization rate on a spreadsheet from 75% to 80%.
