Some of these offers may be part of visa or green card processes. Some require a labor market test in the form of a job ad and recorded response to it. If a suitable candidate appl…

For example, the VS Code menu bar is broken because the drop-downs clip against the window frame, not the screen edges. The reason is different in this case, though (electron).

Then continue to enjoy your broken popup menus and combo box drop downs, for starters.

Is it? The temptation to start without a thorough design is now much stronger because the implementation osnperceived to be cheap and easy to replace. But if you start building the…

That might be. I am not a history experts. I just wanted to counter the notion that that one October 1582 was the singular special month where the switch happened. That was not the…

While providing this information to websites without user permission is probably a longstanding mistake of web browsers, windowing systems withholding proper on-screen positioning …

This article presents a grossly simplified version of events. The truth is that only some catholic countries switched in 1582. Britain and its colonies switched in 1752. Prussia sw…

At least for native binaries it's not too hard to write a scanner that extracts symbols from the binaries and checks them against the symbol names of the vulnerable code. If the co…

The success or value of a solution isn't measured by its quality, but by its utility to the customer. It's a harsh lesson for anyone who wants to build quality.

The naysayers aren't cooked at all. They have really, really good points that align with my own experience so perfectly It's eerie. Vine coding has a price tag attached that will h…

Well, the US does have one of the outsized shares in the causes of climate change, which is now resulting in these heat waves in the northern hemisphere (US included). Don't throw …

How can someone say they are "pro life" and at the same time believe this bizarre inhuman nonsense?

The existence of active shooter threats and especially their prevalence shows that the best protection - prevention - isn't working. And in the US, the best possible protection (st…

"Thoughts and prayers". It's always "thoughts and prayers" and invoking an inaginary "good guy with a gun". Can it get much more magical/mystical/performative than that?

You are ignoring the US and EU politics about regulating access to and distribution of and legal use of models. From my admittedly slightly limited perspective, it looks like China…

Did Russia or China already map out US AI data centers as nuclear first strike targets? The more these companies brag about "cyber capabilities", the more likely it becomes that ab…

How manypeople have deleted another user's hone directory, though? That's s the proper analogy IMO.

Approaches to stylisation different a lot. Feature animation works a lot with physically correct rendering as a starting point, for example. But when a hyper stylized look is the g…

AO is derived from full GI with some extremely crude approximations. Anything that simulates full GI more accurately is implicitly a more physically accurate replacement of AO. Sti…

One theme that is common to almost all visual art that strives for some form of realistic appearance is that they start out with real material appearances and physical lighting beh…

While the resulting looks and aesthetics are very different, the same physical model for light scattering can be used to describe both. Any approximations of that are a concession …

It's rather an indicator of a system that is so broken that a digital copy of a single form of ID document is sufficient to impersonate someone well enough to do financial damage.

It's probably a complexity and cost thing: heating the wheel just requires heating wires in the wheel connected to a switch. Cooling requires a some cooling medium getting pumped i…

Let me be a devil's advocate here: you have essentially two options. 1. You write release notes thet contain technical details. Less than 1% of your customers understand them. More…

An include with a HTTP URL is a scary abomination straight put of hell. Please tell me that this is a compiler explorer specialty (which would still be cursed, but in a cool way) a…
