You should've just changed the address to 'spamsung'.

Or horseradish mustard, pretty good stuff.

What? Republicans in Congress will routinely vote against funding legislation and then show up at ribbon cuttings bragging how they fought to get the funding for their district. Just out and out lie about voting for it.

Yep, here's the article about it.

AAA has offered mobile charging for electric vehicles for over 10 years.

Const variables are traditionally initialized at compiled time. In Swift, let may be initialized at runtime and then becomes immutable.

"Don't believe everything you read on the internet." -- Abraham Lincoln

Years ago, I was a second-shift operator in a computer center for an insurance company. We ran production jobs on an IBM mainframe. When jobs would crash we would write up the error on an ABEND form (IBM called crashes ABENDs for ABnormal END), collect the printout and call the programmer responsible. One night a production job crashed late in my shift about 10:30-11 pm and I woke up the programmer responsible. He seemed really groggy and it took a few minutes for me to describe the crash to him. I would always try to be helpful and suggest options for recovery (you got to know the programmers and what their recommendations would be based on the type of production job). Usually they would hold the job, restart it or say they were coming in to fix, this was back in the day where if they could log in remotely, it was with a clunky CRT terminal.

The programmer told me to just restart the job, I noted that on the form. I came in the next day and my boss called me into his office, his boss was there too. They wanted to know why I restarted the job, which caused all kinds of corruption to the database. They had spent the better part of the day recovering the database, then running the batch job, which meant that that system was unavailable for use by the agents.

The programmer swore up and down he did not tell me to restart the job, said I never called him! He was that deep into sleep. But on the form I noted the time I called him and his response to restart the job, so they believed me.

This highlights a problem with people responsible for multi-million dollar systems being woken up in the middle of the night and having to make quick critical decisions.

I've started to get away from virtual environments and just use Docker containers where all the pip dependencies can live as first class citizens. Also eliminates having to source the activate file or wonder if I'm calling the correct version of Python when I want to ssh in and run some code by hand in the container.

And if SpaceX was available with a larger payload, engineers would have built the same folding telescope, only much larger and more costly.

Which is why "Prime Minister's Questions" time is so valuable and entertaining.

But for Musk's machinations, said stock price would not be down 40%. He caused the stock to drop.

Limit? The US federal government has over 100 million acres of public land for animal grazing.

I recall that Microsoft's Visual C++ user license had a clause that forbid you from creating a C++ compiler with it.

not being able to dock the task bar to the side, though you can't do that on macOS either

In System Preferences > General you can set the dock to the left, right or bottom of the screen.

There's nothing to backup/import. If you have an iPhone, you use your fingerprint or Face ID. If you sell your iPhone and buy an Android, you use your fingerprint or face recognition on that device.

It eliminates phishing since there is no password to share and the authorization is locked to a specific domain.

I had a Newton back then. Most of those who joked about the handwriting recognition were tech reporters who played with it for all of five minutes. Once you used the device on a regular basis, the recognition got better, similar to today's iPhone keyboard.

And the common response to self checkout is that you are putting a checker out of work. Never mind the fact that most of the shelves are not stocked by store employees, but by distributors. A grocery store is basically a place where the store rents out shelf space to the highest bidder.

If I were the hiring manager, the first question I'd asked is, what were the results of that redesign?

$50.00 + "$4.20" is a theatrical bid.

iOS has a nice magnifying glass, accessible using a three-finger tap to bring up and dismiss. The little white button at the bottom of the glass allows you to change the zoom value.

Regulation is another red herring. People who are against abortion are not interested in regulating doctors, they are for 100% outright bans on any form of the procedure.

Doctors are well trained to evaluate what is needed for their patients, no need to get government involved in private personal medical procedures.

The line drawn is the government should not be involved in medical decisions between doctor and patient. Women don't endure pregnancy for almost 9 months and then decide to have an abortion a week short of birth on a whim. Late stage abortions are due to medical problems with the fetus or the health of the mother. If people are personally against abortion, don't have one, but don't force your views on others when you have no idea of the personal and painful decisions that others have to make.

Of course it didn't spell out religious ideology, just as people claim the civil war wasn't about slavery. If you can cloak your argument in neutral language, it's easier to dismiss the views of the opposition and not be branded a zealot.

My strategy is to never use the same start word, I like using a random word each time as that changes the path to solving. I might pick a random word from another open browser window, maybe from a news article or something like that. If I get stuck after the second or third try, I'll pick another random word, even if it contains a few discarded letters in order to ferret out 1 or 2 more valid letters.

For me, the best part of Wordle is not in finding the answer but in the steps prior as I work out the path to solving the correct answer.
