That’s likely not quite the reason. It is to make you have to pause to think if this is the action you want to take.
On the flip side, many websites ask if I want to allow notifications. I almost never do. I was looking at settings recently and surprised how often I’d clicked yes by accident (maybe about 5% false click rate?)
From a hiring side, he seems to be missing context that any of those answers are fine, since they show he at least read the job description. The point is probably show you have the barest clue what job you are applying for, since a surprising number of applicants will say something nonsense like “I want to work on embedded because I’m great at JavaScript and certified with Microsoft Word” and then not actually be able to name a difference between running on a microcontroller and AWS. I’d want to know if you can learn the work, but also that you won’t flee for greener pastures and more interesting problems after investing in training, once you do learn what the tasks are
Not sure this is better, but if they don’t pay, most of the first page will instead point to random unrelated competitors and the search result will become visually harder to find. It is basically legalized mafia tactics (“you’ve got a nice business, shame if something were to happen to it if you don’t pay up”) since supposedly you could pay someone else to SEO the site and achieve the same result without just buying ads
The open source community has hijacked VBox drivers to get USB pass through working and is the official solution from Microsoft to that problem (since it requires a signed driver on the host, and RedHat was authorized to sign drivers, so Microsoft can provide their drivers to work around the signing requirements of the OS)
Although it also means Windows could rely on Intel so long for compiler tools, that when I was trying to build for ARM customers, I realized a lot of the expected developer tools are just barely functional or don’t exist (ifort, MKL, gdb, mingw, etc)
The news tends to exaggerate a bit (quite a bit) for effect. Where the storm hits is devastating, but a mile away can be basically fine. So percentage wise very little of Florida gets destroyed, but of the part that gets flattened, it may be entirely destroyed. Same thing can happen periodically near virtually any body of water or stream. But hurricanes are something that can be observed and predicted in advance instead of being out of nowhere like flooding
> This isn't like other software "recalls" where the result is just an over-the-air update or a request to bring your car to a dealership when you have time, in this case they have actually physically removed the recalled vehicles from the road.
But that is what it was: the remedy in the recall was an over-the-air update and was already universally applied several weeks time before the recall was actually formalized.
Also seems linguistically complex, since the dictionary meaning of recall is an "official order to return item to a manufacturer", but Waymo doesn't sell the vehicle itself.
That title sounds so much more dramatic than it seems it actually was. I imagine headlines like: “Billions of python 3.14.4 programs were recalled today when a bug was found in the core itself. No word yet on whether the successor product, Python 3.14.5, will avoid a similar fate. How long will we tolerate being used as test subjects in the developer’s risky games?”
There’s a story, possibly apocryphal, that the first electric guitar demo was a bunch of strings nailed to some basic lumber and it received a negative reception. The designer went home, tore apart his acoustic guitar and mounted the electronics inside. The sound was not changed by this. The critical reception however was much improved. And the rest is history.
The shape might not be purely functional—and that seems to be the basis for their attempted lawsuit.
A good guess for any phone or tablet user, but I’m technical enough to change that default. It was because their results used to be objectively better. It’s also not the default on Windows Edge, and I still remember the experiences just after reinstalling a Windows VM that I’d be confused why search results were suddenly so unreliable until I remembered I was getting bing by default.
Small update: two thirds of my device browsers no longer default to google anymore. I’ll change the rest when relevant.
The big trucks also have a lot more tires / tire surface area, to mitigate that. IIUC, the weigh stations are to ensure they aren’t overloading the truck, so that road wear is comparable instead of being that vastly greater
Worse, they often aren't even relevant: we searched "passport renewal" and you had to go the the second page to even get the government site that renews passports, and not ad scams masquerading as the real thing. Optimized for engagement, presumably.
Edit: come to think of it, I don't know why I still use Google. I don't care if they track me. But when they have been actively try to prevent me from finding the information I'm looking for, and instead try to scam me?
Redditors claim there is no evidence the weight is relevant to the wear rate of the roads, since weights have become comparable to a similar car and generally less than the average ICE truck, but that the superior acceleration of EV can be harsher on intersections https://www.reddit.com/r/electriccars/comments/1do2rtu/what_...
Seems like they want to downplay the mentally that you would never benefit from an upsell to the paid plans, even if the free plan itself stays always free
Actual password managers (eg not my old excel sheet) protect you against url doppelgänger and related phishing attacks, as well as incidentally discourage password reuse. 1Password can even now warn you if you try to paste into the wrong website (https://support.1password.com/browser-autofill-security/)
Did they make it better recently? There's plenty of blogs explaining why Microsoft wanted this to be increasingly difficult last year. Just from quick google:
Microsoft has ensured the alternative is nearly impossible, constantly working to block any workarounds that users discover to use a local-only account. And it will even going so far as to silently reset the master recovery key if the original key couldn’t be uploaded (my coworker discovered this to his horror when finding out that not only had it changed his failsafe recovery key again, but also uploaded the wrong key to MDM—all data simply lost)
Even so, most of Windows historically did not use C ABI, but rather stdcall, so specifying a call from your C library to the Windows C library couldn’t be done in a purely standards-compliant C compiler (which doesn’t have calling convention modifiers), in a slightly pedantic quirk of the C spec design
I think our baby boy peed on his face once when getting changed and decided never to do that again. While I think our daughter might take it as a matter of pride to pee and poop while being changed, after the diaper is off.
Also, if he’s still healing from birth, that problem solves itself over time as swelling reduces and it starts to naturally point in the preferred direction on its own
Our first kid’s poops came out with velocity. For the first month or two, every poop change was also a full outfit change. We are very glad that our second kid’s poops come out at a normal speed, so that it is just the normal amount of drool which necessitates the new outfits instead.
I see to recall it being an express elevator to floor 90 (multiple of 15), then a short regular elevator for the rest of the way to the cathedral. I beat the game several times, usually with the 100% lowest-cost office build.
Seems not contradictory to say that it legally has to match what you pay, when that is the content of the lawsuit against them, implying that their actions are illegal. Many states also already impose a stiff additional penalty for this practice (e.g. item must be sold heavily discounted or given free to any consumer that observes that the price charged at checkout differs from a price posted in the store)
That’s because the parent claim is known as the hygiene hypothesis and has been disproven by science, in common with anti vaccine claims. The immune system has not been shown to benefit from training, but has been shown to be damaged by illness.
Ask on the site, the company was responsive to my questions. I’d be curious to know also, as I usually run right at the limit (about 40psi to account for temperature changes. Fridge water cold holds much more gas than just tap water cold, particularly in summer
