If this were the case, there would be no need for SIGTERM. The OS doesn't know the application logic and can't guarantee clean termination from the application's perspective. As ot…

Why?

Not according to the linked post, at least: > Let’s reject the false dichotomy between quality and kindness. Quality matters because it means posts can help more people. But a larg…

It's called a severance package. The company isn't giving you money to quit - you're working at-will and they can terminate your employment at any time for any reason. The amount i…

Whitey Bulger, the famous South Boston mom boss, did exactly this: https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1991/08/07/h... .

Sample bias. I suspect the vast majority of binaries in the wild were compiled with little, if any, code hosted on GitHub.

Not only is that anecdotal, but even if it's true it is correlative in the weakest sense. There are undoubtedly countless other features for which "cultures" (how does one define t…

Grandparent. The parent is the comment that is replied to. The comment the parent replied to is the grandparent. So in this case GP is @jbob2000.

Definitely. Suburbia could not exist without cars.

Its not a suburb or sprawl problem. It's a car problem. I now live in Manhattan, the most densely populated chunk of the US. Any time I walk somewhere I spend about half the time w…

This makes sense to me. Street-level retail != walkability. Anyone who has tried to walk from a suburban stripmall to another right next door can attest to this.

From the article: > Now the San Joaquin medical examiner, Omalu was featured in the movie, “Concussion.”

Drivers don't have issues with an uninvited dog passenger? As a dog owner, I find this surprising. But if drivers are OK with it it would be a great option for me because I don't o…

Honestly I have no idea. I'm sure it didn't hurt, but couldn't say if it was a deciding factor.

What are good ways to acquire these game ROMs legally? A google search brings up a lot of not-completely-legit-looking sites, and I'd hate to give money to some pirate. These games…

My spouse was accepted with a Psych BA + MS, and about twenty credits of CS at various extension university programs.

It's pretty obvious what GP meant. The concept of crowd-sourcing small chunks of work as a service is not the same thing as a hoax which involved a single person masquerading as an…

I get why it's a security issue. My point is that it's not on the same level as a critical vulnerability.

Wut? When logging out via the OS supplied method this is handled for the user. Why on earth would a user have to call kill -1 on logout? My comment was from the perspective of an a…

Unless it has a clear exploit it makes some amount of sense to me that this would not be put on a security timeline. But I am not a security expert either. There was an anecdote in…
