This is what URIs were for. It's too bad we don't have nice things like book://9781250781253 or movie://le%20samourai or song:// or livesports://

If it had a “good” square footage, it would be touted front and center. Because it’s not, you know it doesn’t.

I see this all the time with motorcycle PPE. If something was CE A, AA, or AAA rated, it’d be at the top of the description/specs. When it’s not, I know it’s not so I just move on.

Hopefully making the real horrors of war visible to the public/world will make war less frequent. Alas...

Surely the dev wasn't able to merge that one-line code fix causing 6 weeks of testing without any other eyes on it and without someone else's PR-like approval...right?

This isn’t to whom parent is referring, but you can watch this video about wet timing belts for an idea https://youtu.be/0SASSFjIt5I

In short, it’s an awful idea because even if the belt doesn’t fail early, debris from the belt will clog oil pickups, galleries, and passages.

And if that job never runs? Or if that job runs and then fails to commit that it ran in postgres?

“Had acted in good faith”

Seems like there’s no point in having the constitution if a violation of it has no effect.

And the engine is behind the rear axle.

Idiomatically, it’s “WHAT something looks LIKE” or “HOW something looks.”

It’s never, in EFL, “HOW…LIKE”

Next up is “make” vs “take” a decision.

Come on, it’s not like the two are even within the same magnitude or three

“But if you have to check an identifier for revocation on every request you could just use an opaque session ID and look that up on every request instead!”

Nonsense like this reminds me of the following quote from the 1999 Thomas Crown Affair movie:

“Have you figured out what you're going to say to your board when they realize you paid me thirty million more than others were offering?”

In the span of <20 years we’re talking about a sale price 3 orders of magnitude larger than a minor plot point of a hollywood movie.

Would you be able to reseal the cracked glass and regenerate the vacuum through the other end?

More glass, epoxy, or similar?

A manager somewhere made the embarrassingly wrong decision to not fix this, and they’re too egotistical to correct their mistake.

That’s my take.

I think the "keep it after 4 years" program is to eliminate a huge disposal/recycling cost from the schools. A 4 year old ChromeBook is effectively worthless, and can't (shouldn't) just be thrown in the garbage.

What better way to save than to push that cost out to your students' families, all while selling it as a positive?

Because charging for bandwidth/traffic is still a thing, unfortunately

Ferrari has historically worked with outside designers. Pininfarina being probably the most prominent. Bertone, as well. Ferrari brought design in-house relatively recently.

What’s amusing is you’ve now stolen $10 from all of Alice’s accounts if she has more than one, or if Bob has none.

What possible type of guarantee could one ever hope to "negotiate" with someone who has just successfully blackmailed/ransomed/extorted?

One should never take a field sobriety test.

Nearly instantaneous access to the definition of a word, usually.

I'm surprised 5-7 torpedo warheads detonating didn't do more damage to it. About 2750kg-4000kg of high explosive.

Because it’s a mythical silver bullet of increased output combined with reduced costs.

It makes me think of an executive I once reported to who “increased velocity” by changing the utilization rate on a spreadsheet from 75% to 80%.

I completely agree. I much prefer leveraging actual javascript to get what I need instead of spending time trying to fumble my way through jq syntax.

It's more than just a quote, it's a sample of Bill Hicks himself speaking it.

All software should provide something meaningful for anybody to diagnose, if they’re inclined to. It’s particularly bad in the (Apple) mobile ecosystem, including AppleTV.

I have AdGuard Home but one of my spouse’s streaming services wouldn’t work. “There was a problem.” Gee thanks. Eventually figured out that I had to unblock a few hosts so it would work. Only found which ones by googling and finding some other poor soul who fixed it and documented it.

Titles are what “salary comparisons” go by when HR “compares” compensation between employees and “competition.”

What else would they be able to use?

And even more confounding, what's "water ice?"

“because it is possible to have race conditions surface even within a single database query.”

This brought back awful memories of MS SQLServer and JDBC. Way back when, maybe Java 1.5 or so, SQLServer would deadlock between connections when all they were doing was executing the exact same statement. Literally. Not the same general statement with different parameters.

Well, “just” as in “recently forced everyone to replace their cards” also works. My CapitalOne mastercard was deactivated January 14, even though it was still valid through 2030.
