I think you've got it exactly right: - what is the expected gain? Years+Quality - what is the maximum gain? Years+Quality The older you are the smaller your maximum gain of Years c…

I must be missing something, why aren't their legitimate institutes based in Bermuda?

I am not parent comment, and I'm also not in favour of restrictions for all/most people in the name of "the kids" for all the reasons covered in this debate. Invasive age verificat…

and once you've got your wish: ugly code without tests or a way to comprehend it, but cheap! How much value are you going to be able to extract over its lifetime once your customer…

Simplistic tenant isolation and cost tracking :-) I know there are other solutions to this particular problem but this model is extremely easy to reason about. When the application…

We were saved by the bell when they announced the increased account limit for S3 buckets (1M buckets, now, 1k I think before). Just before they announced that I was working on crea…

I'm fairly sure that is the origin of Erdäpfel. We certainly thought this was a funny name for potato when we learned French in Scotland :-) When I learned German the word for pota…

Where is Claude's checkout? Do you have them all share the same local files or does each use its own copy?

Perhaps it should be by user base? "You have 100M MAU, you need to be keeping up with the standards"

My point is that this is either a bearer token (in which case it will be obtainable by proxy) or tied to your identity. What is the incentive for the citizen to make sure their aut…

How do I prevent my citizens from sharing their certificates in order to bypass the block?

I'd sooner see a more practical solution that works on the roads and cars we already have. Aggressively limit speed and enforce it until you're onto the fast roads. If cars could o…

I'd love to get a cargo bike and use it for kid transport. I would be worried about collision safety though, I am not going to persuade everyone in my neighborhood to stop using ca…

> It’s common to rack up 4 hours or more of screen time a day on your phone. Here’s one way to see the cost of that: every 20 years, you lose 5 years of your waking time looking at…

Is it? I remain unconvinced AI will replace Devs in the foreseeable but I don't think this article is passing comment one way or the other. The way I read it TFA is claiming that t…

Ah, I thought this might be for turning tiny/tracking URLs into their targets like my Hacktoberfest project from a few years back https://off-the-rails.netlify.app/

Cow practical joke anecdotes, please! :-)

Doesn't this give you 2xSPF? Or can I use my local copy of the source to kick of Travis/Circle?

I have fairly high local guide status. Do you think multiple submissions make a difference? Why?

The building is there but no address is assosciated with the outline. Can I contribute my address to OSM?

Nobody can find my house (UK), it is somewhat unusual in that it pre-dates the neighbours and so shares a postcode and road name with the main road not the cul-de-sac it is now sit…

I'm currently implementing some OAuth stuff and reading a lot of RFCs and specifications. Came across this gem which really made me think "I bet I would come to regret writing that…

Does it turn off the backlight too? I wonder what the battery life you get if you don't need the LCD is!

I can't tell you why any non-violent crime warrants a custodial sentence. It seems like civil penalties really ought to be enough deterrent and a much better recompense to society.…
