    We say "are bears Catholic?" when in more polite company and we can't get away with asking if the Pope shits in the woods :)

    Adding on and being specific: AMC in the GSP mall in Paramus, NJ. Assigned seating for sure.

    That was my thought when watching the video. The robot is the size of a room if you count all the cameras. It's like the pitch-o-matic 5000 from Futurama.

    I may have missed it, but may I assume a device license is transferable? I mean to transfer it when I ditch my Mac for a new one, so I'm talking about my devices only. I'm just ask…

    I cross my sevens! I'll consider starting to slash my zeros. Seems legit.

    Did we learn nothing from "A View to a Kill" ?

    There are canvases.... Some similarities if you squint. Clearly not for code use but for shared durable notes....

    I've seen both of these philosophies. I liken them to religions, the believers are devout. Code is King vs the DB is King. I'm personally Code is King, and I have my reasons (like …

    OK, in all fairness I did think all we were talking about was the trigger, not the underlying vulnerable system (which I already had understood to be less than solid over the years…

    I heard similar but haven't found a "no, it wasn't a monkey" article yet.

    I'd say that's about the process itself, not the script mirroring the process. Fix the process, fix the script. Onwards....

    What are good places to start down this rabbit hole? (for those willing to have their illusions tarnished? )

    My first thought was that airplanes need noise canceling for the engine sounds. There's a real difference in a long flight with and without noise canceling headphones. Effective (b…

    OK yeah, I was just attempting not to project authority but let the data (which I didn't have handy) be the important part.

    I'm definitely not an expert, but I would say nothing of note has changed with our utility bill since we replaced the gas cooktop with an induction cooktop. The marketing will tell…

    I've seen that forever and not just on United. I have thought it's something about the underlying SABRE system that many airlines use. Maybe someone here knows more.

    The article mentions they only plan to do this starting at group 4... So that's 1. All pre boarding (military, families with small children, wheelchairs, etc) 2. Global services 3.…

    You probably correctly noted the gap between the founder's understanding and the ability of the engineering team to articulate ongoing concerns. Stepping past that, which they shou…

    I'd say there are times when bad data is worse than no data. Consider that the farther away you get from it, the parties involved are either unaware or unwilling to treat it as bad…
