It tells you a lot about the best value. It certainly doesn't tell you everything, and you might well pick a more expensive phone with less ram for other reasons, but all else being equal a phone with more ram will be better.

The mercator projection has neither a top nor a bottom, it extends infinitely upwards and downwards. Hence all visualizations of it cut it off at some arbitrary point. Making antarctica humorously large does nothing besides make a point.

People who actually care about their money often like to compare competing products and decide which one provides them the best value.

There shouldn't be "mass layoffs" for that reason. If they are both reasonably large companies, the size of the HR department depends on the number of employees. When you merge the companies, the number of employees initially

Was it released with it? Iirc they tried moving to such a license from bsd, which contains no patent grants whatsoever, and hence they thought it was a strict upgrade. The community did not agree so they moved back.

It requires the claim to be made with "willful disregard for the truth". Notifying someone, especially with a cease-and-desist on fancy letterhead, makes it legally clear that they know better, and thereafter would be definitely l

A lot of these style of reframings seem to completely lack a theory behind them, as if reframing things will magically solve a problem. In this case, further vilifying or antagonizing drivers will do absolutely nothing to increase road safe

People misunderstood your original reply. Correcting you is not pedantry.

Language is a communication tool. If you misuse language you will be badly understood. The solution is to use the correct word for what you mean, not to accuse others of sophistry.

Having assets under management doesn't mean you have that money. You don't own it, you are just taking care of it for somebody. When describing a company as an $X billion company, conventionally this is referring to the market cap

Interestingly fails as well, in two ways. First: > The string may begin with an arbitrary amount of whitespace (as determined by isspace(3)) Second is that it only applies to signed long long, not unsigned.

Some people would set up tooling to look for compromises the moment they get published. What's neat about this is that as an attacker you have no way to determine beforehand whether you'll get caught by this. So you would run your

Missed the original. That seems like a reasonable way to highlight software that you believe is fundamentally insecure. Obviously you can't be on the hook to fix deep architectural issues yourself, but just submitting a single PR will

There are no "defaults that work for everyone". Well designed tooling acknowledges that and makes it easy to tune the software to your preference.

Clearer for the computer, but not for the human. Many errors, some severe, have been caused by a human only looking at the indentation and not realizing the braces don't match.

> I would love to see a language try to implement a rule where only an indented line is considered part of the previous expression. After python, it seems like every language decided that making parsing depend on indents was a bad idea.

Instead of making a sarcastic response, just state plainly what you mean. This prevents you having to get into dumb arguments that don't mean anything to people who don't already know what you're trying to say.

This could just as easily be someone at the top saying "find a legitimate sounding reason to refuse this because we want to refuse it anyways". They will always give such a reason, that doesn't mean it's the real reason.

As I explain, you can't perfectly reverse these filters because of quantizing. The more the signal is attenuated, the more information is lost when quantizing. So yes, it does matter what your kernel is.
