Do people wash their hands 15 times a day so that they absolutely fine so much value in getting rid of the bugs?

The answer is: some do, some don't.

Refugees is the same stem.

"boy" is obviously a typo. But can be seen as a reference to Amazon Mturk kind of automation by delegating to a human.

Well, not a general purpose one, but...

knowing LI doesn't have any NSFW content, is full of marketing content (both corporate marketing and self boasting individuals), tends to prefer positive signals (all projects succeed, etc.), is mostly done in English, and so on...

... There is clearly a market for text generation in this language bubble. Think of all the internal and external communication in your $BigCorp. That has immediate use not only in marketing, but also HR, recruitment, company policing, etc. Your next company town hall can be prepared and led (!) by this thing.

Yeah.

In some rare cases there's a direct feedback button in the product itself. Then usually you don't get the response, but at least your remarks are read by someone. Or at least that's the impression I get.

As a positive example - check out the new commit view page in GitHub which they are currently rolling out. There's a Feedback button which goes to a *public* discussion page with voting and comments. One can tell they are really into listening the feedback. And that's something. At least one of the miracles for free.

Help the planet - OK, but how much? The public discourse would benefit from having some scale of savings/damage for all news like that. Think the lovely and simple color squares showing radiation (banana, natural, flight, atomic bomb, etc.).

I don't think we as humanity have adopted a reasonable approach towards "helping the planet". I know it could be hard, but how about listing top N polluters and addressing these? Or top N factors where the biggest possible gain is and addressing these?

Instead I am preached on plastic straws and laundry detergent.

They said for 1 ms every second.

Defence in depth.

Surely I am not a fan of FB, but what else should they do other than relying on self-reported age?

I don't think they can promise. But in a formal process with so many steps involved, you know what else is left to be done. And if there's nothing left, you assume "very soon" completion. Also Apple's announcement was kind of a pressure put on the gov: "hey, enough, unless you want everyone angry at you".

The top one using list comprehension is easily understood for anyone who did non trivial work in Python. And more concise, no run away variables, etc.

The bottom one is understood also by developers with no Python experience.

So I guess it depends on the audience.

The non-technical reason is that these are usually owned by different teams in your org (after you mature beyond a 5-person startup).

The technical perspective is that things like wildcard subdomains (e.g. to support yourcustomername.example.com), or DNSSec if your compliance requires it, etc. cause an extra burden if done for these two use-cases at a time.

Http pages don't have problems with having a link to example.net from within example.com. Or the opposite. Seems like an unrelated problem.

I think it's a sane practice to keep the marketing landing page on a separate domain than the product in case of SaaS.

I guess they mean the stigma that arose based on the reality in the past.

So kind of both.

Internet Archive is a niche player. Noone except for some nerds like us care for it.

Wikipedia is a household brand. They could, but they don't need it for anything.

Well, multiple small repos is even more copy&paste then.

Per mile or per mile times weight to the fourth.

In case anyone is wondering:

Reverse geocode is `coordinates -> address`.

Geocoding is `address -> coordinates`.

Wait. Since when this is a requirement?

Berry. I hate tea with milk.

Check the last line with "hmmm".

They can and I bet they will declare victory on this by moving the goal posts. Like measuring only during the Olympics and for a subset of area or subset of travels, etc.

Car free or not. There will be tons of public transportation extraordinary options running during the Olympics. There is simply no other option to move all these people around - athletes and their crew, service people for the venues, journalists, etc. etc. Not to mention the spectators.

I don't own an Airtag or iPhone for that matter. I wonder how is it supposed to not raise a false alarm if you are travelling with someone who has an Airtag - e.g. by car or by train. Now imagine changing trains at the same stop with someone who has an Airtag with them (this is s typical situation in commute with public transit).

So I figure it takes a longer time for the devices to be close to each other to raise an alarm.

Now back to the mail thief, I suppose an hour or two is enough to catch them.

The article is not that different than "don't invent your own cryptography".

It's hard to understand for non-crypto specialists. It uses notions which are unknown to most programmers like MAC or other *MACs.

So not sure who is the target audience for this.

If you assume willingness to learn CVS is in line with being able to provide valuable contributions.

I have worked with CVS myself in the past and would probably have no problem getting used to again.

Some fresh out of school smart people might consider it a thing of the past. And just decide not to deal with it. Like COBOL.

286 likely could run at least Windows 3.0 (and you could play minesweeper).

> It is unlikely that any alternative versioning system would improve the developer's productivity or quality.

This is likely true for existing developers. But might discourage some fresh blood from joining. So in the long run the overall productivity might suffer from this.

In several countries in Western Europe there's hardly a tradition of apartment numbers in multi-apartment buildings. Instead the apartments are identified by family name of the owner. Or the main person living there. Or the person who used to live there some time ago. Or some guy backpacking in Asia and (illegally) subletting the apartment.

Yeah, let's recycle. But let them pay a re-initialization fee.
