One hallmark of poor quality software is the existence of a separate cleanup tool in case the uninstall doesn't work

I think it's more than publicity. Anyone can stand as a candidate, and anyone can vote for them. Money and connections and establishment and everything else don't matter, all candi…

Dotnetrocks did an excellent breakdown https://www.dotnetrocks.com/details/2007

In much the same way as some HR departments exist to protect the business from their employees, some Finance departments exist to not pay the bills (for as long as possible). They …

Thanks. Appreciate the thought trail. For an employer, if they delete the data later (if I don't get the job) then I'm ok with that since I'm expecting it to be accessed and used b…

Can i withdraw consent later? So, attend the interview (to maximise my chances of being offered the job), and then after the application process withdraw consent?

> If you don’t like games that require a server to function don’t buy them, that’s a choice that can be made. "buy" is doing some heavy lifting here. If I buy something, it is mine…

It's an impressive model and I'd like to see it in the Lego shop - but I wouldn't like to own it. When it comes time to use the pieces for something else, that's ten thousand beige…

Depends what you're looking for. If I'm looking for businesses or streetview or 3D I'll use Google Maps. If I want to explore I'll use openstreetmap. Sometimes I'll use public righ…

"weirdly epic slop" is the most concise description of linkedin posts i've yet seen

One great use of interfaces is for automated testing, the test class can implement the same interface specification as the code. A long time ago I also used structuremap to automat…

Asimov missed the idea of the panopticon here, whereby control is self-enforced by the fear of being caught because you can be watched at any time, not all the time

I prefer the pump that is on the side of the petrol cap, but filling up from either side absolutely works for me in the uk, there isn't a "wrong side"

Or, they subtracted a digital elevation model from a digital surface model, ran a point-in-polygon match against an existing building dataset, and labelled the difference as the he…

Tim Apple is an awesome mnemonic

LinkedIn allows you to write a recomendation, after submission it goes to the other person to approve. If you want to risk a little of your reputation to support another (and your …

a walk-off. First to 1,000 miles

Yup simple laptop sleeve with a good zip and a reliable handle works well for me. In case of inclement weather there's a ziplock bag inside big enough for the laptop. That goes ins…

I stayed in a house in Rome that kept out the fierce summer heat, because of thick walls. AC would be redundant. In other places, like Hong Kong, the thin walls of the apartments n…

To a degree this is sensible, if someone is tailgating you and you need to perform an emergency stop there's more likely to be a collision, so you need to increase the space in fro…
