This reminds me of how I'll sometimes be deep in thought, and someone will yap "Wacha thinking about?" and it sort of snaps me back into the world of language, and I begin the laborious task of translating a long train of tho

My last Windows machine is for games. Hopefully I'll be able to get a Steam machine for an easy exit. If a game doesn't run on it, I won't buy or play it.

Before making the first shot, turn around and face backwards. Shoot back and to the left toward the barrier. After the ball ricochets, it should hit the downward-angled barrier on the opposite side and hop over it to the end section, where

This isn't possible on Youtube right now. The automatic tools for detecting LLM-generated content have far too many false positives. And obviously no one is going to pay an army of people to curate the content. The best thing right now

You're correct; it's a misuse of the term. Better terms would be embargo, quarantine, or just delay.

I'm staring at the EOL of Windows 10, which I use on my game machine. I'll happily get one of the cubes for my next box. I'd like this to be the end of my Windows usage.

This is so much nonsense. Contracts and interfaces have little to do with OOP. If you don't like inheritance, then talk about OOP. It's fine. Many people, including myself, don't like inheritance. On the other hand, if it&#x2

It would be insanity. Even the most dedicated developers would switch to Chrome instantly.

Even with the notes, it doesn't make a lot of sense. Why would you illustrate communication problems with people who literally don't speak the same language?

"Earhart planned to have human navigators on board with her, but she’d be the first female pilot to accomplish the feat." - What an odd statement. Could "male" have been replaced by "human"?

Innovators like Jobs are incredibly rare. We're lucky he chose someone who would not only preserve the company, but stave off the worst of the enshittification that has eaten Microsoft and HP. Cook is also surprisingly protective of pr

The article says that it is "intricate and difficult", and "has only one path leading to the center, and each junction or fork never allows you to find an alternative route, but always leads to a dead end". Unless I&#x27

I had a unit tests for a Java LocalDate that was being increased by one year. It checked whether the month and day were the same, and failed because the current day (29) didn't equal the year-hence one (28). I changed it to check that

I thought it was a good reference. In both cases, the manufacturer placed illicit, hidden code that that could (and probably should) get it in trouble with the law.

I think the issue is that they tried to separate the input into a list of tokens, like ["5", "nine"], and work from there, which doesn't work on something like "oneight".

I don't understand the reluctance to hire a system administrator. If you have two or more technical folks, at least one of them should be a sysadmin (or "devops" if you prefer). Pretending that it's an unskilled role tha

Sloppy reporting? In MY mainstream media?! Currently the linked story, from TechCrunch, doesn't call it a "kitchen" sink. Kudos to them.

A Das Keyboard, unmarked. Expensive and heavy. It's hard to tell which model, but probably a Model S Professional. They don't seem to sell them unmarked any more, but there's still the model 4.
