Recycling tech exists so that net-water use can be zero or near zero. It's a matter of spending the extra money on it: it's cheaper not to.

Building a network is something anyone can do. Join meetups. Find local user groups. Find online groups and get active in them. Give talks. Write and publish your thoughts locally …

No joke: just start! Learn C and C++. Find a cheap micro pc board, pick one of the embedded linux distros that run on it, and make something with it. Repeat until you get bored, ex…

Maybe. Quality of work, communication challenges in time zones, language barriers, and setting a company culture are huge barriers to entry for workers remote from India. Minimum r…

They're not blocking uBO, they're removing the features in the browser that allowed uBO to work by releasing new plugin APIs, "Manifest v3". They're eliminating the key APIs needed…

It's not if. It's when. It has been 'when' since 2020. It is coming. It is not going to not come. It will be here in mere releases. Get ready.

What do you mean "solve"? This is solving the problem. If people see things they consider good enough, that's all they care about. Source: every other piece of news or social media…

Apple is the closest you get today. You can even pay a premium for it!

Yeah. At many places, team size (and eventually, number of teams you manage through other managers) is codified in manager role descriptions.

It really is a whole alien domain to itself. The syntax being so foreign to most developers doesn't help. But it's so powerful, incredibly powerful, and in most browsers, extremely…

From my reading, if the site only shows you based on your selections, then it wouldn't be liable. For example, if someone else with the exact same selections gets the same results,…

It's IE all over again. Sometimes you can't.

The author expanded on that later in the article, saying it was not quite right and doesn't always work, but it's a good analogy.

Yeah, they exist. They're in use today. They're being set up to be a lower impact, more precise way of spraying fields autonomously. All the operator has to do is wait for the dron…

We humans also trust the consensus of non-peer reviewed truth all the time. Tell that group of children that the opposite sex doesn't have cooties, and there's a good chance they'l…

What a short sighted, money grubbing decision by people that didn't actually care about the wellbeing of the company. Keeping the land the restaurants are on means higher margins o…

What!? you didn't add a versioned database layer on a server with code stored in clearcase that stored those ClearCase config specs to manage the configuration of your config specs…

The party pack of twelve soft tacos at Taco Bell costs $30 if you want sour cream. It costs just as much to add a few dollups of sour cream to the tacos as it is to by a bulk tub o…

> So easily reversed Yeah. It is easy to reverse committing an "if" statement.

They built their PWA support with assumptions about how the application, OS, and WebKit were going to run. That's like saying, "Oh, Microsoft didn't build an API layer into Windows…

Browsers need to run javascript to be competitive browsers. It would be practically impossible to check even simple "strict rules".
