The article mentions family-friedliness. That indicates a non-vanishing number of women at the events have kids and are likley in a relationship.

Would men in other societies accept their significant other rooting for other men with corny phrases? I'm reading "horny" here, but nontheless.

Would the female partner accept that the male one brings his cameras for photos of cheerleaders only?

I'm pretty sure it is "no", which explains why this isn't similar elsewhere.

Is this small piece of understanding I tried to derive anywhere near correct?

(I don't think I should ask my korean colleagues for verification.)

Access to feeds is not considered in the number of subscribers for the content creator, isn't it?

Support has been removed from Firefox, but it still exists in Thunderbird.

It's not surprising. It seems that many understand RSS more as a form of news (like a newsgroup or mailing list) than as a form of discovery for web content.

> In astronomy and cosmology, 1 and 5 are the same number. Only the orders of magnitude matter when talking about large things. At atomic scales and in photon length the precise numbers do matter.

"I am not interested in a more accurate value." said no scientist ever.

It's just easier to measure small things using big tools than to measure big things using small tools, hence astronomy has a disadvantage. Another one is that it isn't easy to create any experiments.

It seems to accept multiple GET parameters, e.g.,

Devices sold should work to a certain expected level. Regulators could define (or even just judges decide in a specific case that can be applied more generally) what that level is. Losing bits randomly isn't within the range of what is expected. The more memory there is, the more likely it is going to happen. And at some point devices without ECC could simply be returned as faulty for a full refund. ECC would be required, without any explicit rule.

> It’s not like this is some kind of graphics board that needs to sit a short distance from my monitor.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of the buyers would consider it as gaming rig with maximum bragging rights.

Ask the users to return their broken phones, demand a full refund, and buy an android instead.

> Users trust that pornhub.com won’t be allowed to read data entered into irs.gov.

Likely, most are worried about the other direction.

That doesn't sound real. There's supposed to be some central department(s) that collect ideas from the process framework of the season or requested by customers (especially those items for levels that are not requested), add their own ideas and create a superset of that as configuration with everything set to mandatory. The result is infliced upon everyone, except of course the department that was responsible for the definition.

Why isn't applyWithEmployeeReferral() an overload of apply() with a parameter for the linkedin referral(s)?

Even the sorting by color would be useful if Van Halen was still touring.

The former "Diplom" and "Diplom (FH)" were not identical. When those still existed the distinction of "Universität" and "Fachhochschule" was meaningful. The rebranding is a consequence of the old kind of degrees having been replaced by new ones, not just a marketing trick.

> Specifically given a common pattern is to use a large switch/case to map from instructions which usually compiles to a jump table [...]

Work-around: Implement the jump table directly, e.g., array of function pointers or whatever works in the language of choice.

Lured into a physical shop by a voucher they are likely to by things they would have bought elsewhere, the effort to visit another shop not being justified.

Don't almost all instruments provide some kind of control? If they didn't they could be replaced by pre-recorded samples. Music would be dead.

The scientific instruments need to be mass-produced, too, of course. A 7-digit number of rovers would be extremly cheap per piece. Shipping would become a problem though.

Maybe acquiring a necessity is less rewarding than acquiring something pursued for fun? The point I was trying to make is that a dollar is not a neutral reward, and may cause a different response, that might otherwise be the same in all groups for something as neutral as "points".

That the response to rewards differs between poor and rich in general does't seem to be testable using a reward that both groups perceive differently.

A dollar is not a dollar. A dollar is something different for kids than it is for their parents. A dollar for a kid of rich patents is not the same as a dollar for a kid of poorer parents.

Poorer parents likely try to keep worries about money as far from their kids as they can, even if not easy. Rich parents might casually discuss investment ideas at a common dinner.

As a result a dollar may be seen much more as a reward by kids of rich parents than by kids of poor parents.

If I remember correctly Borland claimed compliance with some standard for the TUI toolkit provided as part of Turbo Pascal. I cannot remeber which ISO it may have been, or if details like checkboxes were covered by it.

Does the current ISO 9241 cover that topic?

The three recent main losses of clarity/usability seem to be: 1) links no longer visually identifiable, 2) changes applying instantly instead of only when pressing apply/ok and no cancel button to revert, 3) now the loss of visually identifiable checkboxes.

Shouldn't things become easier and more clearly identifiable to use with todays user base of 100% of mankind compared to limited few persons 30 years ago? Why is the opposite happening?

The use of that mixture of rocket science and brain surgery predates that book from 2009 by at least 15 years.

In that one balls seem to be able to punch through (and flip) squares (when going almost vertical) instead of bouncing on every square they hit.

CI does not seem to provide a convincing solution for reviews (in the text mainly mentioned as problem when not applying CI, and for CI only covered as an FAQ entry).

With everyone pushing their changes to main (even if tested...) before getting main to a releasable state there's the open items of reviews (every commit/push), fixes, re-review, ... That might work with developers writing flawless code or relaxed reviews, but for me it was painful in reality.

CI shifts the problem from having to solve merge issues before release to having to solve review issues before release. Releasing is impossible if merges fail, but reviews can be skipped. CI seems to promote reduced review quality.

A perfect solution would avoid all problems close to the release.

In addition to small/fast feature branches an automated temporary what-if branch with frequent merges can provide a preview to detect and solve issues early, while avoiding troubles in main. It seems to help with the main issue CI solves (avoiding conflicts detected late), without causing degraded review quality.

The server provides data to the phone/tablet, that's service, too, and needs to be paid.

> The power off button on the monitor does not work.

Seeing that CRT my first urge was to push the degauss button. Not working either.

If browsers can load content from a different place than what they display someone is going to use that.

An alternative to boredom is something else more important even less desirable that needs to be done, that drives progress on what is being procastrinated. Unfortunately, it only shifts the problem elsewhere.
