There's plenty of valid reasons to configure a static IP address, I'd say I do it weekly. Configuring a commonly used machine to be static for ease of use. Connecting a TCP communi…

The majority of people pay online. Obviously the mail and phone options need to be available too though.

Whenever I'm flying on the B787, I prefer to sit right behind the wing to watch the flaperons do their thing. I know it's a little different than this, as it's more of a PID driven…

You kind of just described the job description of a modern "machinist". It's far more of a job regarding the machine itself (CNC in this case) and it's setup, versus the part itsel…

Raises hand To be fair, it's a lose-lose here. If we didn't implement strict and PITA-to-circumvent licensing, we would for sure have customers abusing it. As a small company, we c…

I use Angular daily as a frontend for our C++ app, hosted in Electron. I personally love the fact that it's opinionated (using their router, DI, etc) and most of their API is prett…

Honestly I disagree that it's bad advice. The advice I give to a lot of new dads specifically is that Moms #1 job is to take care of baby, Dads #1 job is to take care of mom AND ba…

I'm sorry to tell you this, but everything in life cannot be algorithmically driven. As others have said, generally speaking your baby is YOUR baby and you have to learn as you go …

Probably, but I'd guess that the reflector still absorbs a small percentage of the beam it's reflecting. And at the GW scale I'm sure even a small percentage is enough to absorb a …

We use Angular for our large realtime process control application in place of a lower-level UI (like Qt). Having all of the tools you mentioned above has given us an organized code…

What exactly did ivermectin do for you? Did you have covid or did you take it as a preventative measure for a long period of time?

That's such an odd and incredibly unrealistic scenario. Also, in your hypothetical example, there's nothing that could be gained from TikTok that they couldn't have already figured…

People moving to help families. People moving for new jobs. People moving for work. People do still need to move, even during a pandemic. Supply chains do need to keep working at s…

So when China removes all quarantines, what is going to stop the virus from spreading once again? It will spread (of course at a reduced rate since there is some immunity) until on…

There's surprisingly many of us! The Portland metro area has some decent opportunities for tech work. Not anything on par with Boston, but it's there.

I know several Type 2 diabetics who are not (and have never been) obese. While obesity is definitely a cause for the disease, it is not the only cause there is.

I develop an internal product that is currently used only by our companies service technicians, but the end goal is to release this to our partners for use outside of the company. …

Have you actually written a large scale cross platform app for Linux and Windows? Sure, Qt components will show up on both platforms. But to get them to show up the same tends to b…

> Besides the "normal" resistance to wind, if you want to build a sort of half-pipe covering a highway you need to consider the pressure induced from the inside by high-speed movin…

It's interesting you say that too, because a lot of those "flashy" jobs end up being very similar to a computer science job anyways. There are typically thousands of people designi…

Yeah, I agree. The criticism above is definitely from an engineers perspective. The vast majority of users really won't even notice most of the items on that list. Reminds me of th…

Well, there could be a possible solution to your first problem: offer both a high priced one-time removal attempt, or a recurring subscription with a minimum contractual obligation…

Not really true, especially with multi unit housing. The mortgage is split between tenants. Rentals are generally also not responsible for fixing things like broken pipes or furnac…

I agree that opening up across state lines is a very good thing. However, if the marketplace goes away and there's not a good way to force companies to be competitive, we're really…

Would a language engine like v8 help in this case? Or is it the fact that you can't optimize the actual mathematical operations within loops?
