That's sarcasm, it probably also wasn't actually Funny. Nothing about what they said suggests they didn't subsequently look into why their tests missed the issue

Is there an OSS licence, similar to Apache2, but that restricts the ability for the code to be used in AI training data I maintain a few small Apache 2 libraries, I'm not sure how …

That's exactly how I treat publishing my own OSS now (probably on a smaller scale though). I had started by hoping (almost assuming) people would be amazed at how useful my library…

Gitx is great for that on a mac, but every time I set up a new MacBook I have to hunt down the latest repo / build. It keeps getting abandoned and then forked and continued, and th…

I do TDD in one specific case, and it's always a unit test. Very occasionally I will need to write a function or a small class do some complicated logic that I'm too lazy or stupid…

Ha of course it does, thanks :) I don't know why I didn't see that so we could expect about 5 people with dementia in that control group, and the test group got 0, so not bad

These stats are only useful if we know how many people get dementia in the first place. What are the chances of a random control group of 14 over 85 year olds also not getting deme…

Who is this news org, why should we trust them? A cursory look at their content suggests we shouldn't. It's easy, all you need to do is spot the term "Russiagate", in this case the…

> my project manager asks me why we're not using sequential IDs, and I say it's a best practice according to the documentation, he'll happily accept that answer even if neither of …

I agree completely with this article (but it probably depends on which area of development you work in). I'm an android developer and whenever I hear the term best practice it imme…

I agree, it was certainly very surprising to me when I find out

It's not really a matter of paper work, you simply don't have the right to move to another country just because you feel like it. Whereas it's a key pillar of EU membership. As a n…

I think this is referred to as the Surinder Singh principle, here's more about it: https://www.freemovement.org.uk/surinder-singh-immigration-r...

Well, this is true. Some of those things are also true of London though. Re the admin (to get set up on the health care system etc) everything does need things like original birth …

Ahh I see what you mean, it would typically involve staying in a London hotel a few nights a week. Maybe traveling in on Monday mornings, and leaving on Friday afternoon. I do have…
