If there is any chance that human error contributed to this disaster (either via the people there or maintenance deferred or done less than perfectly), then "a more humane work sch…

Not OP, but you could have a priority queue where you acknowledge each element as up/down/neutral and the change in score that you provide would affect it's location in other peopl…

Optimal isn't the right way to think about it. It's a tradeoff. Hub-and-spoke is usually better at getting you to your destination in less absolute time given the same number of to…

Health data is scary because of HIPAA (and the equivalent in non-US jurisdictions) not because it's inherently special or hard to make sense of.

There should be some punctuation in the title. The tool is named "Help". A quick skim doesn't make it seem like the author is in need of urgent assistance.

Bob seems to be using pronouns that are associated with both genders. Seems to be their thing. In any case, Bob seems like a fairly competent hacker and that's all that really matt…

>they are not enforced ... widely, rigorously and thoroughly That's a major source of the danger. If they were being consistently and equally enforced, then it would be obvious whe…

"UAV" has stronger military connotations for me. I'm not sure it's inherently better. Maybe something entirely new is better? "AAV" Autonomous Ariel Vehicle, or something similar?

One thing that does bother me about the Bechdel test is that it is represented as "passing is good enough". The Bechdel test intentionally sets a laughably low bar. Just because a …

Continuity seems like a good reason. If you have a team that has expertise in mainframes and need a new service, it is potentially cheaper to build a new mainframe than it is to hi…

According to the wiki article, the sentences aren't mandatory. They're presented as a choice where one choice is a period of time in jail and the other is an action in the communit…

I type relatively quickly (95 wpm) and I didn't even notice the delay until "really not great" (100 ms) and it didn't bother me until "we're done here" (200 ms). I think it has mor…

Edit your terminal's font settings. Without knowing more about the setup you use, I can't be more helpful.

How does driving as a quadriplegic work? What are tools and modifications that make it possible?

Is there a source with the explicit ban rather than a link to the wikipedia page?

I'm gonna disagree on this one. When you're just starting, the installation process can be nontrivial and the terminal window is scary. Having less friction there makes it easier t…

Cmd+Shift+N reopens the last closed window

Since there is a quote calling it "natural gas" later on, I'm guessing this is a typo on the city "Freemont", since that's where the gas is coming from. I've since been corrected..…

This one? https://www.xkcd.com/844/

I think knupunk has a better ring to it, and is still a palindrome.

Usually with a project of this scale, you'd also get a copy of the source code for the interpreter or a provision in the contract for a copy of the source in the case that the comp…

I'd rather that people disclose when tangentially related than not at all. I'd say it's a good thing.

I think the argument boils down to "how do you fill out the captcha if you use a screen reader"?

I worked in a lab for the US government building cubesats for a summer during college. I can't answer everything, here are a few answers. 1. Last time I heard pricing per pound to …

I haven't ever used spotify, so forgive my ignorance. How are they measuring the system volume from inside a webapp? Shouldn't that information not be visible to them?
