Please use a .test TLD, that way you will not run into DNS problems, random hickups, etc. This is safe on mac/win/linux.

Downside of a full hostname is that browsers have a bunch of security controls disabled for localhost, which do affect sites which use a hostname, to get a normal experience you need to set up certificates for your local site, usually adding a root cert to your computer's store.

Human foveala, the central part of your vision, has on average about one cone every 30 arcseconds, but resolution of 20 arcseconds is still quite common because the variety in cone density is quite high. So someone with good vision, maybe someone who would naturally be inclined to work in graphics, would need over 430ppi at 2 feet, or 290 at 3 feet. This screen seems to be perfect for someone with good vision at 3 feet, if you place the screen closer you would need even higher resolution.

Someone who is good at learning can just learn for free, only someone who is not confident in their abilities would pay for the name of a college attached to a degree (with likely less actual skills transferred, because paid colleges depend on throughput, not on results). The actually good students at paid colleges are the ones who got a academic scholarship, i.e. free like community college.

It seems like the first variant is overly complicated. When you write about set theory you should be able to figure out that you don't have to rely on the effects of the union operator, the result you want is a simple difference with previous levels of the recursive cte, or a terminal query that groups by the table and shows the minimum level

Also had a 2:1 desktop:laptop ratio -- would have guessed more laptops. (The author questions how Plausible determined this.)

For my personal analytics without third party dependencies for privacy reasons I use the fact that Javascript allows access to the battery API, so a laptop uses a desktop browser, with a desktop resolution and zoom, while still having a battery.

You could use the name of the foreign key, together with FKs namespaced to the table they are on would allow very expressive joining, and the query might even survive schema changes. ORMs tend to work like this.

A modern phone with a 5 Ah ( ~ 18.5 Wh) battery can run for many hours streaming to a builtin screen, meaning it uses far less (anything over 45 minutes is more energy efficient) than a chromecast despite doing more. Same scenario with a laptop with a 60 Wh battery, which can also run a long time in idle, and even while streaming, and is able to resume from sleep in a second. Running more than 2.5 hours on battery means it's more energy efficient than a Chromecast.

MS Access works just as well on an SQL Server database as on its internal database, so your scaling works just as well as on any other established database server, and then the SQL dialect is T-SQL, which is reasonably standards compliant.

Is it crime or is protest? We all know Amazon will let its workers die in hurricanes, harass its workers until they commit suicide, not pay their workers a living wage, and all this while the big boss goes flying around in spaceships for fun. I'm sure a lot of the "criminals" rationalize their behavior by knowing that whatever they do it can't ever be as bad as what Amazon does, they're even doing justice by fighting back when no-one else does. I'm sure this is more about being Robin Hood than people being evil to their core.

The Netherlands just tried reopening, in two weeks they managed to undo seven months of lockdown as far as caseload goes. The infections are overwhelmingly amongst teens and people in their twenties (over 90% of new cases), who have not yet had their second shot or opted for Jansen vaccine, which doesn't protect as well as the others.

It would be very unwise for England or any other nation to follow in the Dutch footsteps.

In European law it specifically states:

  Technological measures shall be deemed 'effective' where the use of a protected work or other subject matter is controlled by the rights holders through application of an access control or protection process, such as encryption, scrambling or other transformation of the work or other subject-matter or a copy control mechanism, which achieves the protection objective.
There is no provision for effectiveness in any other sense than what I claimed.

Effectively of course means "in effect" in this context, for example YouTube doesn't have to prove the measure was designed to limit access, only that it does in some way.

Pretending yt-dl simply does what YouTube does is obviously not true either, because if it did, then yt-dl wouldn't exist. The copyright holder decided he would allow the streaming of the work, if you want to download it you should either get the ok from the copyright holder for that or choose another work to download, or even make one yourself. V8 doesn't change that.

Not too long ago I was asked to do some maintenance programming on a logistics program (the program did amongst others: fill the various operated trucks to not more than capacity from orders, add new orders at any time, plan the route to drive so it doesn't take more than a workday), all written in WordPerfect 5.1 macros. That program can do a lot more than most people know about. And apparently it's still used in production.

That stops working once you're no longer a solo developer, but part of a team, then you need to learn everything any of your fellow developers might use. You might as well focus on learning a new language and having access to new jobs where you don't have to deal with legacy languages.

That's what they already do, airlines will cancel your flight for any reason whatsoever: overbooking, finding a first class passenger who pays more, choosing not to have enough personnel on duty, etc. Until your plane with you on it is actually airborne, you have no idea whether or not you will be allowed to fly, so there is nothing unfair about not turning up for (what might be) your flight.

Maybe if a ticket actually held some sort guarantee for getting a seat on an airplane things would be different...

How would an employer react if the roles were reversed, i.e. the employer can't hire another programmer for two years if you, a programmer, leave? Ridiculous of course, which shows why it is just as ridiculous for an employee to have to agree to a non-compete.

No, cars aren't too blame, the car owner is only liable for damage, and why does that law exist? Because cars have mandatory liability insurance, bicycles and pedestrians do not. It's not about making drivers more responsible, although it helps most Dutch don't understand what liability means, it's too make sure there is always money to pay for damage, especially if the damage is severe.
