Not sure about the legal frameworks in the US but that’s exactly how it works in most places in the UK. Cities have restrictions for on-street parking (metered, permitted, illegal)…

This is my take as well. I haven’t felt that graphics improvement has “wowed” me since the PS3 era honestly. I’m a huge fan of Final Fantasy games. Every mainline game (those with …

This is a significantly better handling than the previous game (final fantasy viii). My disk 1 (it had four disks) got scratched over time (I was a child after all), and the failur…

Maybe it is, these days? As much as I appreciate all the functionality brought to us by these tools, when I started web-dev circa 2005, LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL + PHP) was the go…

I realize the chemistry is different, but in my head the idea of submerging Lithium in _water_ to _extinguish_ a fire is pretty funny.

And of course it's even more complex when you mix UK vs US English: - an herb (US), where the "h" is silent - a herb (UK) Cue confusion about "an historic".

This is one of the strongest pushbacks against USB-C that Apple have: USB-C: You break the stem, you have a useless device and functioning cable Lightning: You break the stem, you …

Let me tell you a story about playing The Settlers IV on a 233Mhz 64MB RAM Voodo 3 2000. This game was cool in that it had two audio features: a soundtrack on the CD itself, played…

Even if it's not an always-available thing, how you can control Slack really depends on expectations - especially working remote. Do my colleagues and mentees really want to be blo…

This was my initial thought as well, but from the text I gather there is a flow like this: [Input Data, maybe null] -> Validate field is not null -> Call this method with the asser…

I was hoping there was going to be some minimum definition, and that I could call myself Lord, but alas, my ~300m^2 of land doesn't seem to qualify me either (I live there, I didn'…

I doubt this is what the author is alluding to, but a few years ago[^1] I read a proposal about CPU cooling using small-scale fluid tubes, much like a car engine is cooled. This wo…

This looks really cool, but the author... is... replacing their laptop every year ? Like, I'm writing this on an 8 year old MBP that has survived as my round-the-house driver becau…

Indeed - SP2 brought in the firewall which finally got rid of the Blaster and Sasser type-viruses that could be executed remotely because most folks still had their PC connected to…

> As far as I could tell, the debugger trap was basically calling the debugger function if it detects a running debugger. This is a fairly common trick, you just run the debugger m…

Is that why JDK9 is 350MB (Windows x64) vs 190MB for JDK8u144? I'm off to go explore more, but for something that's meant to be smaller and more modular, this was a bit of a surpri…

Game dev is different than back-end server dev, is different from front-end web or desktop dev. For example, in back-end Java dev, I never use singleton objects in the truest sense…

From what I gather, it's not the same case here. Safari is now unsupported because Spotify deprecated their Flash website in favour of HTML5 + Widevine. Safari doesn't support Wide…

I think you're right on this, for example .moi, which Amazon is taking registrations for (and has been for six months or so), is still listed on that wiki as proposed.
