> When did the industry put the onus on the user to understand how the computer works? Just after the turn of the century, that was when there was a big shift in the industry to move all user interface design work to…
That is by design. It separates the payment processor so it does just that, just payments. It is like money, once you give it to someone else there is no automatic way to fish it back from their pocket to yours. The…
What makes Portugal's situation unique is that it is a small population that is eclipsed in models by the bigger weights of the much bigger population of Brazil. Yes, there are much smaller European countries, but those…
You are wrong and right. Wrong because Brazil DOES fuel cars on sugarcane alcohol. Most petrol stations in the country have pumps for sugarcane alcohol, nearly all the ICE cars sold in the last two decades have a flex…
My last phone was all glued and the entry point was the screen. The repair guy said there was a 50% chance the screen would break in trying to unglue it so it was not worth the try. It was a shame, it was a decent phone…
On my Debian system I use the flatpack version of Steam, it comes with the 32bit stuff inside the container, so you don't need any 32bit packages in the OS.
Not in C. In C signed integer overflow is underined behaviour that may or may not be compiled to the equivalent of mod arithmetic dependingonthe whims of the compiler.
It is like chocolate cigarettes, they are not real cigarettes, they don't have nicotine nor smoke, and yet they serve to present and normalize real cigarettes to kids, so there is an argument for banning them. Where you…
He was fined a billion dollars, but it will never be collected, he never lost a billion dollars. With this decision all his debts are pardoned and he gets to keep his megaphone, that is very "no consequences".
I cant speak for epileptics, but I do suffer from photosensitive migraines (which the author briefly mentioned in the article), and in my case failing flashing LED lights are indeed an issue. Luckily for me it is not as…
That is great. Now they just need to add a easy way to alternate between different profiles on the same computer, because having to log-out and log-in every time you want to hand the controller to someone else in the…
For me the best feature of Celsius, the one that makes it much better for weather, is the zero on the freezing point of water. Everything changes in life when water start to freeze, roads get slippery, pipes burst,…
This is also fine for any long-running processes and servers where the "vector" in question is not expected to shrink its allocation, which I would guess is the main use of vectors. Shrinking a vector's allocation is a…
What an utterly absurd judgment, that should have no place on a free society. They have a literal kidnapping/assassination plot, and yet the Judge considers it all above board and that it doesn't show any prejudice.

Exactly, Chinas biggest secret is to lean on economies of scale. In case of transit they standardised early-on on only five types of train/rail-corridor and then whenever a city needed a metro, lightrail or any other…
That upplays the financial incentives and downplays the psychological incentives. Cops seize stuff not only to have the money or shiny stuff, but also for the rare trill of punishing "bad people". In their job it is…
I lived thought the Brazilian hi inflation periods of the late 80s and early 90s, and I remember some interesting workarounds that people adopted: - People kept a mental model of prices in dollar, especially for…
That is throwing the baby out with the bath water. The amount of fraud doesn't justify creating such burden on users. The problem is there is a market failure in the form of misaligned interests (the provider's best…
Your mundane explanation misses the main point that perfect security can't exist while maintainint function. It is not just a matter of cost cutting, it is a (sort of) fundamental law that security and usability are…
Minecraft is just pixels in space. The world is built with a sort of very low resolution voxels. Yes, the 1m x 1m blocks that make up everything are voxels, they only have position (discrete, aligned to the 3D voxel…
That is not a fair way, for two reasons: 1. You can't award a bonus question to a subset of people, that is not a fair way of running a standardized test. You can't score some people as x/154 and some at x/153. 2. The…
There is precedent that copying to another format for the original use is not copyright infringement. Like copying your old CDs to your phone to listen the go. So the IA should have a strong case that digital lending is…
That is quite an unetical move by Harvard, they are the ones that made the information public, and then punished those who viewed it.
Anyone knows a similar aggregated source for the opposite, for the good patterns?
