Since the genie is out of the bottle, when it comes to ALPRs in the United States, I'd rather just have all the data publicly available. If the cops, data brokers, and insurance companies can see it I should be able to as well. I shoul

Until the passkey workflow goes sideways for "tech" people I don't think the risks will be acknowledged (if then even). Those of us who don't want the let Google, Apple, or Microsoft manage our passkeys (i.e. pledging ou

Don't want to "punish" anybody. Those bailouts are all over now. I'm just tired of coming out on the losing end and would like to make something from this crisis, versus just paying for it.

The various "bailouts" over the years (2008 financial crisis, COVID stimulus, PPP loan forgiveness, student loan relief) have left me pretty cynical. I paid my bills and didn't get "bailed out". What can I do to pro

Undefined behavior isn't a feature. A spec isn't an implementation, either. All behavior in an implementation can be teased-out if given sufficient time. > if you were an alien trying to reconstruct it, for example - you'd

I really, really appreciate your reply and its tone. Thank you for that. You've given me some things to think about. I often wish people were more like computers. It probably wouldn't make the world better but it would make it mor

One can look at the source code to a program, the libraries it uses, the compiler for the language, and the ISA spec for the machine language the compiler generates. You can know that there are no hidden unspecified quantities because p

Came here to say the same thing harshly and laced with profanity. I guess I can back off a bit from that now. I was filled with crushing disappointment when I learned mathematical notation is "shorthand" and there isn't a for

It doesn't feel like it will be long until we're getting CAPTCHAs like: "Click the pictures of humans brandishing firearms."

The current "system" is very hostile to small business. I don't think the average person realizes how bad it is. I abandoned a financially successful independent contracting business of 15 years and went back to being an empl

I have genuine questions about how I am supposed to conduct myself in a culturally sensitive way about this issue. I have a daughter who knows nothing of sex yet. Eventually there are conversations that I expect will need to occur. I sincer

I abandoned my business of 15 years last year because of worry about availability of health insurance. It looks like I was in a similar situation to you. My business was going well. I was making equivalent income of a bit more than a high-e

Using a gigantic overly complex software written in a non-memory-safe language for a system that gives commands to the flight control system? This is how you get the Cylons pwning your spaceships. >sigh<

Your "get over yourself" and "mature person" bits fill me with frustration and anger. I'm sorry for that, but it's there. Being selfless is great. Hating the grind of a 40 hour / week job, versus "acc

How do you get health insurance in that situation, our of curiosity? All the employer-sponsored plans that I am familiar with require a minimum 30 hours / wk commitment. Being an independent contractor is awesome (it's what I did

As a newly-minted member of the "40 hour / week" working club I have to agree with you. It's not okay. I'm not okay. This lifestyle is bullshit. I recently shuttered my successful IT contracting business of 15 years

I really like the icons, and I do mean this to be funny. I just couldn't resist creating Malicious Cloud Service[1] and Dead API[2]. SVG's available at [3]. [1] http://imgur.com/a/VY6ba [2] http://
