I'm all for "learning for the sake of learning", but the federal government doesn't need to subsidize it. Losing federal aid is not the same as not permitting colleges to run the programs at all. Supply/demand is st

Too much domain knowledge for an IDE to catch. I'm self taught as well, and it comes down to spending more time thinking about the code than writing the code. It's a fairly simple thought experiment to ask yourself what if there w

This is a plague on both houses. People want stability and reliability, not drama. And what they're getting feels and awful lot like drama.

This makes me _not_ want to get a Tesla, just to avoid the inconvenience of getting my car towed because of what it _might_ have inside of it. And the opposite, doing what Ring is doing and simply streaming it to the police directly, might

> Every currently rich person has done... That's a pretty broad statement to make, especially with the implication that the only way you can become rich is by basically committing borderline fraud. If you want to get rich, spend les

I agree - they are exercising the principle of opportunity cost. While most parents probably would make more than the $700 / month, the value might simply not be worth it. I remember a study that concluded that in reality, there is a c

Was also looking for a color legend. I can generally understand the different colors/layers, but was initially confused. Text that explains exactly what each color refers to would be helpful.

Being pro-Small Business doesn’t meant you have to be pro-Advertising. Facebook makes a killing taking money from small businesses through advertising, yet it is consistently one of the lowest ROI marketing techniques, not to mention genera

Many homes have wall hangings with scripture that the owner has never read in the bible. People quote literature they haven't read all over the place[1]. Implying its unique to the Bible means you probably haven't done you

In practice, it is far more common to see the Bible quoted as a small snippet meant to re-enforce some other point. Any seriously complex work is very often quoted/cited as a small snippet meant to re-enforce another point. Spe

I find it impressive that the last recorded entry was in 2017. Over 3 years, and given the security-centric nature of the audience, I'd imagine if there were more flaws we'd see them reported. Sometimes building some simple is the

Fantastic. I was just telling the commentor before you that I do not have a military background. I'm glad you could weigh in. That makes complete sense.

by chacha102 6y ago
That is absolutely a fair point. Speaking as someone who does not have military experience, I can't speak to it. But it would make sense that if you have the time to wait for them to repeat the phrase, that the longer phrase "SAY

My favorite part of this article is the reason for saying "SAY AGAIN" instead of "REPEAT". The word "REPEAT" should not be used in place of "SAY AGAIN", especially in the vicinity of naval or o

Fortunately, Github is built on a distributed system that doesn't require us to stop coding just because we can't access a central server. Distributed systems for the win!

Why only complain about something when you remember to press a button? At some point, someone is just going to hook up a decibel meter and automatically press the button when it hits a threshold. It might file a couple of bad complaints, bu

I'd rather just have my life together for a couple centuries and not have the pressure of having to get it together later. Plus, can you imagine the compound interest? :)

Everyone who uses Git is using the distributed features. It is not possible to use Git without the distributed features, because every time you do a commit or a merge or a push, you are doing it on your local machine on your own remote. Tha

Because of how Git is a distributed model, hosting your project on Github shouldn't be a big deal. You could host your project privately and then just have Github mirror that private host with hooks. Git being distributed means that yo

If you're getting enough false alarms that removing the battery is a common occurrence, yes, you should get one fire alarm moved probably a couple feet. Which is not saying to get your house rewired in the slightest. A good use of an o
