Former attorney turned software developer here! Nope, it's not a settled question in the way that I think you mean. Each ToS is different so each would be subject to individual legal analysis in court on its own terms. Questions would

I agree 100%. I love JavaScript (yes, I'm one of THOSE people) and like what TypeScript brings to the table but it quickly becomes hard to read as the code becomes more complex. Python has always had a readability advantage... up to th

If your job posting doesn't give some indication as to the possible salary range, I'm just not going to apply. What? I'm going to go through some bullshit interview process that includes some esoteric algorithm problem that h

My kids (ages 6 and 3) LOVE Bluey. We are American and (sadly) English-only speakers. The fact that the show is full of Australian accents has not impacted their ability to understand or enjoy the show in any way at all. The exposure to pla

I don't know what I have to do to get the sublime desktop experience that macOS is famous for... My work-issued Macbook Pro regularly forgets which monitor (my external monitor or the built-in display) is the primary monitor and moves

According to the Stackoverflow 2021 survey, it's not as popular as we might be led to believe. https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2021#technology-mo... MacOS comes in at 25.19%. Even Linux is higher at 25.3

Former attorney here - if you ever end up in some kind of dispute, you will be glad you notified people in writing! I agree, that it's annoying in the meantime though.

We moved to Portland, Oregon from Jackson, Mississippi last year. Portland, like Seattle, is a stereotypical "rainy" city and Jackson is not. Jackson gets almost 10 inches MORE rain per year on average than Portland does. For one

Oh man, Windows Terminal is a wonderful thing! I've used Konsole extensively; I've been a filthy dual booter for many years now. But I never did much development on Windows until a particular job I had about a year ago. It was a W

I'm a former attorney. I left the profession after 13 years of practice and became a software developer. I spent most of my career doing things like criminal defense and representing people with disabilities. In those areas of practice

Yeah... compressed 4 day weeks do nothing for you if you're a parent. My kids get out of school/daycare at 3:30 pm. That's hard enough to deal with working 8x5 days, especially post-COVID when after school care of any kind is

Non-competition for what??? The blog author is the developer of the mGBA emulator which is free and open source... There is no commercial competition for Analogue there.

It won't... but with a screen size that small how much does that matter??? I own a RG351P and it's an excellent device for the money. Not saying it doesn't matter at all, just that smaller screens seems to make that kind of t

In that case, please give Lutris a solid look. It's a great app that eases the pain of installing games via WINE (and makes it easy to install particular versions of WINE on a per game basis). It's how I run my GOG games on Pop OS
