I'm not sure what the point of this blogpost was. As far as I can tell, the author discovered eval() but is making it more complicated for no reason? There also isn't any actual patching going on.
Taking mobile orders usually requires accepting coupons/rewards programs which franchise owners are not always obligated to participate.
Imperial China is basically the Greek/Roman empire of East Asia. Both of these civilizations made deep and lasting impact on the culture of East Asia and Europe/North Africa/West Asia respectively. Confucius is like…
I've worked in healthcare, I find the software practices absolutely atrocious. The consequence of this has been ransomware attacks: https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2022-10-10/...…
Common practice for the websites of law firms (and some other fields like private equity) to have the headshots of all employees on their website with job title and description in a nice table. Example of a different…
It is too much. I was Google SRE and there is an internal meme showing a time series graph jumping backwards during the double 1am at DST. These mistakes happen everywhere and are best avoided by a system that doesn't…
Not at all. Everybody using UTC would just not need to deal with leap seconds anymore. A UTC second is the same as a TAI second. It's a no-op for the vast majority of UTC users. UTC will just drift slightly more from…
I don't see how replacing all UTC in software with TAI is more realistic than breaking UTC sync with UT1 (isn't it literally doing the same thing?). The whole point is that going forward, leap seconds are going to get…
A lot of people in this thread are criticizing this move, but let me offer an opposite view. One of the largest electronic health records systems has code that predates the UNIX epoch. Much of the time handling code is…
Bear in mind nearly all of the people receiving letters should be <65. I quickly skimmed the paper and it seems like the authors don't have enough data to come up with a quality adjusted life-year type of statistic like…
I disagree with this definition. We have yet to produce a perfect model of the world (aka, a theory of everything). All models produced by "science" thus far are "wrong", at least on some level (ex. Newton's model…
This comment is incredibly out of touch with the world of big law. Not only do associates get cut, but many people stall out and can't make partner. (also the whole concept of "Up or out" comes from Big…

The medical pipeline doesn't have to be sensitive to federal funding either. There is nothing preventing residencies from being privately funded (besides the fact that most are currently publicly funded). Medicare funds…
Thunderbolt 3 is 40GBits/s (5GB/s). PCIe 4.0x16 is over 6x the bandwidth.
Pretty much all hotel chains require ID these days, even if you're paying with cash. There are also some state and local ordinances that require hotels to take ID of guests, so I doubt it's Airbnb's choice to do this.…
> Besides, if "racism" is the explanation behind it, how are you going to explain the immense popularity of Chinese food everywhere in America? Probably in the same way that one could explain how the existence of Taco…
Alternatively, the influx of tech money greatly increases the cost of property in Texas. In turn, senior residents start to no longer be able to afford to keep up their property taxes. Eventually a proposition appears…
1) None of these incidents occurred in SF 2) Politically motivated violence is rare in the US and right-wing violence obviously exists as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Portland_train_attack…

A 6br lakefront house in Minneapolis is just as expensive as a nice condo in Boston (op literally notes they spent the same amount).
I mean existentialism literally gained popularity post WWII. See how much more popular Neitszche and Kierkegaard became many years after they had died. Camus, on the other hand, was celebrated during his lifetime. Is it…
How is the current pandemic now causing dread in people? Sure, most people experience existential crises individually, but now we have an event that is causing a lot of people to experience it at once. In fact, the…
