My first pass through the title was "Those windshield wipers shouldn't need to be internet-connected." Thankfully, the article did clear that up, but the fact that my brain didn't even think, "that's a stupid i

Not the original person, but I'd like to see the ACTUAL install instructions, a la the vscode via the microsoft repository. It's a little more work for the user, but, honestly, the user is using a CLI for managing packages - I thi

Try to avoid using it until the microcode fix in a week or two. If you bought it last week, you probably haven't used it enough to permanently damage anything from the voltage issue yet. Keep careful watch of problems in the future: t

In Windows, it's kinda split between the Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) and the Desktop Window Manager (DWM). That's not a 1:1 match, though, as those two combined cover more components of a functioning whole than X11/XO

By default, even on a recent perl it'll act like you're on a really old perl and run just fine. With warnings, it runs, but tells you about all of the mistakes you made. With strict, it doesn't run.

When using Perl you should `use strict; use warnings;` and you have something approaching a real language with a lot fewer warts, in which said quine is not a valid program. It isn't the default because Perl people have an obsession ab

My company does, and I do as well personally. Rails is magic, both in good and bad ways. The good generally outweighs the bad. And it has things (like Sidekiq) that I typically need in a project, and I don't have to waste time putting

I do a lot of mentoring with younger engineers. They're surprised the first few times that when we start debugging a problem, the first thing we do is check all of the things that "have to be working" instead of just trying t

I went to a residential high school in a very rural state. Our internet went through a local college, then the state university. This is 1998. I was setting up my new main desktop with linux that year. When it got to network services, the i

Several cards give defender, eg Guard Duty. You could also turn it into a Sliver and play Dormant Sliver. A few of the cards that dealt with cards being walls were errata'd that way, too. As far as turning to stone directly, I don&#x27

They once shipped my company a custom MSVCRT.DLL to fix a crash bug in a third-party application under heavy load. True, it was a bug in the C runtime itself, but they got us a fix for it about a day after we (along with the third party) go

Interesting that you mention their ERP systems. One of the projects I'm working with right now has been considering integrating with one, as well. Last week, our CTO put together a big list of pros and cons between the different possib
