Blocking Firefox might not be worth it, but they will not be the only party exploiting this. And that part is certainly problematic

Yes! I certainly do. It's not my main device but for a quick bugfix when I'm not close to a PC it's really useful. Currently Github regularly completely freezes Chrome on my phone when viewing moderately large files. And I ha

Rising of the sea levels is problematic for nearly all coastal areas of the world. Another problematic result is more extreme weather scenarios. There are many more, but let's start there.

They're just notoriously bad at admitting being wrong. Just look at how many keyboard iterations it took to get back to the old working keyboards. For me personally think this could work, not having an esc button was a deal breaker for

My limited experience notarizing a hello world react electron app took 10 to 15 minutes. Not that much but a large increase from the 1 minute build time before

I wouldn't call it saving. It's more like not destroying. You would hope that for a world ending event they would need verification from multiple stations reporting at the same time though...

It's apparently a bit of a hassle to get it removed at times though. And in most cases far to late for it to really matter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6A1Lt0kvMA

I would argue that intelligence (as is muscle mass for example) is dependent on the need, and hence, training for it. If your life is simple and repetitive, why focus on getting smarter as it will probably make you bored more easily. Simila

Glad to hear that there are people not plagued with the issues I've had. Perhaps I've been very unlucky but even though I've loved using the laptop, the amount of hardware issues I've had made me want to go back to my th

You've obviously never tried an apple laptop. Over the years nearly all of the components of my 2012 mbp retina have been replaced several times. The only things that are still original are the ssd and the bottom plate. Motherboard iss

I personally love Python where whitespace matters a lot too. But I regularly find myself fighting with the whitespace in yaml for some reason. To me yaml (especially with templating) seems like a very contrived way of avoiding having to pro

No there are not cameras on every floor of every office building. It might be different for where you live but over here (the Netherlands) you can't needlessly film people. As an employer you cannot film your employees unless they have

If enough people report those mails as spam, they'll ban those too. They're simply protecting their business, nothing more, nothing less. Every mail I receive that I didn't sign up for gets a spam report from me. With that in

He would use year, month, day of course. The only format that makes sense. Shortened to month, day.

He's the perfect example of how much you can achieve even on borrowed time. There's never a reason to truly lose hope

RestructuredText has generally worked nicer for me that Markdown. Especially when combined with Sphinx you can easily embed LaTeX math structures as well. Having that said, depending on the scale of the paper I usually tend to go back and f

Thank you, very interesting read! They do raise a few good points where MySQL outperforms PostgreSQL. I suppose that's one of the trade offs between them, data safety vs. performance.

During most normal operations such as updates, inserts and deletes it will enforce them. But, opposed to other databases, you are allowed to completely ignore your foreign key constraints leaving you with a (in my opinion) possibly corrupt

You're partially correct. It does when inserting or updating, but if you do an alter ignore table you can create foreign key constraints that are actually invalid. So... not in all cases

This post actually makes me wonder... is there anyone that objectively still thinks MySQL is the better database of the two? The only small advantage of MySQL I can think of (which is a great downside as well) is that it's really toler

Lousy solution, improve public transport so people have a decent alternative. Public transport is not a valid alternative if it takes more than twice as long...
