Oof. All coding standards have to be written as an RFC document?

“virtually all” - said the three anonymous sources familiar with the matter.

correct. the push for dispensaries has been financial not medical. now that we are getting large scale trials there will be more real evidence to show the public health effects. my…

i thought apple is already doing this on all it's devices?

its the definition of precise geolocation data in the va code: https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title59.1/chapter53/sect...

The article is misleading. The sale of geolocation data can still take place but not for precise locations. The bill prevents the sale of data that can identify you within 1750ft. …

so.. hand over your data to china to spite orange man. yes excellent move.

yep. and anyone not aligning to the anti-american reddit rants here get downvoted. shows you where HN is going.

this proposal is an extension of the WH crackdown on what it sees as misuse of USG funds for things that are deemed not in the best interests of the USG. Among other things this pr…

my 2cents: FUD will AI displace jobs: yes undoubtly. But it's not equal even across the tech sector. Outsourcing jobs are extremely at risk. Companies have been offshoring to vietn…

clickbait. they knew what they were doing. there's a long history of X is dead posts. PHP is dead, Java is dead, jquery is dead, unix is dead, REST is dead, graphql is dead, micros…

Actually i think AI makes junior devs dumber. Senior devs learned over the gigantic mountains of failed projects they've built. I still get people telling me to build flat file dat…

Love reading all the TDS comments about Americans are the new Nazis and Orange Man is bad. However, this article isn't very good: NIH has publish guidance: https://grants.nih.gov/g…

The real reason for the “cartels” in the US is because of the cost of infrastructure versus the subscribers cost. Because the United States is so large there are only a few compani…

I don’t think this is correct. This is about German politics. Their central bank has been attempting to repatriate gold since 2013 in an effort to centralize their holdings. It’s a…

Alzheimer's is a prion disease. Prions are proteins that cause other proteins to misfold. What's interesting is that most prion diseases are transmitted through ingestion or physic…

Idempotentancy on POST isn't just about preventing double posting. For POST the RFC says you can return 303 when the call to create a resource would have resulted in generating an …

I don't think this is a reflection on performance. seems like the key word here is "obligated" to work after hours. this is due to managers pushing deadlines on their reports. hone…

I think the definition of "productivity" is part of the problem. Managers view "productivity" as the ability to bounce ideas off each other and working collaboratively to get tract…

it's a millennial thing. they grew up working on laptops and their dream office is to make the workplace look like starbucks. Open seating, no cubicles, a barista. It's a knee-jerk…
