How do they handle rough seas?

English is vague, even when accounting for that fact. It's much more difficult to detect or correct misunderstandings over text. My biggest issue with this concept is time. You wri…

I don't agree with the overall conclusion of avoiding AI tooling but this was really wonderfully written

Here in Calgary we use cloud seeding to reduce the impact of hail storms. If meteorologists predict a hail storm, they will seed the clouds outside of urban territory to reduce the…

I recently moved jobs so I could be in-person again after 2+ years remote. Whiteboarding and micro-interactions (bouncing ideas, quick clarifications, brainstorming) are very diffi…

Was going to reply with WPF. The best I've used for UX dev

This is my guess. They're worried about precedent. If this is allowed to stand it gives other jurisdictions a roadmap for how to shut this down

I've always thought that Excel is the greatest piece of software ever written. The ease of entry, the extensibility, the impressive collection of built-in tools/formulas/charts. It…

They said parse which is true regardless of caching

Our high school's local admin password on every machine was the name of the school district. Used it to install P2P software and emulators on lots of the machines throughout my tim…

I think one of the main issues with 3D is that you are forced to focus on what the director intended you to focus on. This is not true in 2D, you can focus your eyes on a blurry ar…

Use Authy instead of Google Authenticator. It allows multiple devices and backups

I've used Twitter to meet like minded people, however, I think the main distinction is that I don't use Twitter (in general) for interactions with people I met outside of the Twitt…

Planes run on similar tech, why haven't they been hacked? The odds on this seem long indeed, especially considering how dangerous driving is already

This is great, nice work guys

"Software is hard, people are hard" ^ this. Agile is only a set of principles set out to help write flexible software. It in no way made the actual writing of software, the gatheri…

This. The amount of new Thread(new Runnable(){...}).start() I have in my Android code is awful. And then inside the Thread you have to use runOnUiThread() to change UI stuff. Given…

That is insane bandwidth

This is awesome, I love it. I want to try it but don't know what to ask

The mouse redirection doesn't work very well (I'm on FF). But other than that it's a cool idea. I'm curious how it works. A different Win95 VM for each visitor? I realize it doesn'…

This is my favorite part of software engineering. The fact that there are so few instructions you can actually give the machine and that you have to map your abstract ideas onto th…
