I am guessing, for the same reason I can have a picknick in the local park with a few friends and discuss intimate matters. This takes place in public because that is convenient, but I still don't appreciate random passers-by interject

It wasn't like that when I visited a few years ago. We just booked a hotel, got on a plane and went there. I can't find this requirement on their COVID page either. Do you have a link?

You are advocating willful destruction of property. Property that is neither yours nor FTDI's. This is illegal, and broadly considered bad taste. A counterfeiter commiting crimes against FTDI does not excuse FTDI committing crimes agai

The OS vendor could "destroy" you by making changes to the OS that affect your app, right? The Old New Thing[0] is full of stories of apps that exploited undocumented implementation details of the OS, and were surprised that those

I am quite turned off by the following passage near the top of this page: > bits of configs can't be reused. For example, while YAML, in theory, supports reusing/including bits of the config (they call it anchors), some softwar

The #[non_exhaustive] feature makes me unreasonably happy. It is a problem I hadn't even realized might occur, and the solution is very elegant, forcing depending code to be sufficiently general.

From a non-US perspective, I find it highly surprising that having children and wanting to care for them is framed as a deviant "personal choice" rather than something most humans do that is very normal and expected. Do you honest

I really don't get the time picker design that basically works as two long comboboxes side by side. Especially the minute picker requires far too much scrolling/swiping for what it's worth. I much prefer the Android dialog, w

Your entire first paragraph as written conveys that the situation can not be changed, and the victim must change themself. This, in my opinion, is fatalist. Please clarify what you mean if you find you have been misunderstood instead of get

Let me pose this unfair question back at you. Are you willing to pay the price for providing an alternate means of sky observation at a scale suitable for astronomy, and for cleaning up the debris that might result from expiration of, or co

I can't speak for where you live, but being a student is a full-time job here. And your last statement makes no sense. If you don't expect students to work after work , then don't follow it up with the remark that you'd

It is a nitpick for sure, but I am still amazed that a machine like this, obviously designed to be the best and look (and cost) the part, comes with a measly 1 year warranty out of the box. It takes away from the feeling that Apple has conf

Not parent, but Javascript enables a lot of nasty business and often slows pages down on my not-so-fast work PC, so I disable it. If a website has a good reason to need it (e.g. apps like Google Docs), it gets whitelisted. Typically, one do

I was once a "true beginner", having been forced to use basic terminal commands in school and having decided to get a raspberry pi and shove Raspbian on it for laughs. There is no GUI over ssh from Windows unless you already know

I would have to disagree about (1). The right to be forgotten is quite important in preventing criminals from being punished twice (first by the law and then by random vigilantes). This fosters reintegration into society, which is considere

Not really a fair comparison. For editing config files I often have to go to man pages to find out what the syntax is for the things I want (and sometimes, where to find the file). Especially if editing bash/zsh.rc, there is no hope of

Just curious - where I live, traffic going straight has priority over traffic turning or leaving the road in some way. So if the bike lane is to the right of the car lanes, the cars have to yield to bikes if turning right (in fact, they hav

Fwiw, I followed this course at my university[1]. The 'schedule' and 'setup' links provide an idea of what is treated, and the full book is available[2]. The full course took slightly over six months, so yes, it takes a

I don't connect the "darkness" of the story to the app, no. I do agree that it is not a typical place to put a story like this, and I wonder how the friend feels about having what happened to her used in "your" stor

Non-American here: glad to hear they can. Will they, in cases like this, do that by themselves? Or should someone (EFF) appeal this ruling? Or can only the suspect/criminal in this specific case appeal?

Why is giving up all your other interests aside from your work a prerequisite for a "remotely interesting tech scene"? Surely you too see why people whould find that a slightly strange mentality? I see why the two or three people
