> Turkey is almost entirely Muslim, yet they produce alcohol and tolerate its consumption within their borders, even by their own people. Let that fact sink in for a moment I don't…

I'm just pointing out that the flaw is egregious. PR videos are supposed to give people a view of the future, suspend disbelief for a minute. This just looks like something slapped…

Did anyone else notice that cars being lowered leaves a giant fucking hole in the middle of the street?! This is a marketing fluff video untouched by engineers

There's biologically driven behavioral differences between male and female due to genetics. These differences are on a spectrum that varies between individuals but they are clearly…

Shhhhhh! Theres no room for reality in here, were pretending that gender is a made up sociological concept

Tons of companies take satellite views of the entire earth and they're freely available online.

This exists where the economics make the most sense. Some shipping containers have built in tracking and satellite links. Usually the ones with expensive or refrigerated stuff.

How is this any different from a human doing the same? The internet is meant to be open, it's free information after all. If you don't like it put your stuff behind a login

I've seen this in a bunch of movies but it just occurred to me that this may eventually happen to humanity. Birthing children is dangerous for the mother and child, and if given th…

The birthday problem directly relates to Bloom and Cuckoo filters as well. The false positive rate is how often two hashes collide.

Obligatory agreement that JavaScript is terrible, but this horse is too dead for me to bother digging up a bunch of links about how bad it is.

Does this make targeting new ISA's trivial?

I've seen both ends here in the US. I've worked with some of these big consulting agencies and those guys are almost always completely incompetent, whether they're H1B's or not. Ha…

TLDR: It sucks balls use Jodatime Edit: I was wrong my bad

You are definitely in the majority among .NET engineers. Like everything it seems like people get pigeonholed into certain families of tech after being in the field for a while. Mi…

Keyboard input language maybe? Is the Italian keyboard layout different?

I worked at a place that used neither the header or geo-ip. Multi language capability was a check box for a client and they never specified how it needed to work, so it was impleme…

HN is up there for me. It gave me a much broader perspective on the happenings within the field. And it encouraged me to move to the great city I now live.

He makes some good points, others seem like more of a conspiracy mindset. I agree with him that EEE tactics at MS are probably alive and well. We're seeing a friendlier facade beca…

Not a ton of places, but in my case forwarding HTTP requests. Netty is close to 100x faster than regular .NET. Another example is JSON serialization. Jackson/GSON are maybe 30x fas…

You're looking at the wrong settlement. It was 1.95 billion. https://m.theregister.co.uk/2004/04/03/why_sun_threw/

Guava/Commons contains a lot more than collections. The standard class library in .NET has maybe a third of what's in Guava. Keep in mind that Java's built in library is probably j…

I'm not arguing about higher sea level, temperatures, or CO2 levels. I fully believe that all of these are going up. I think it's unrealistic to believe we can get the whole planet…
