I saw VB6 used by many non-programmers. It often wasn't pretty, but got the job done (helped in no small part by a rich ecosystem of COM/ActiveX components).

Has Apple's assembly quality declined? Feels more like design issues to me (e.g. keyboard, flexgate, overheating).

40 minutes standing or even sitting on a hard plastic seat is not my idea of relaxing. I admit that you'll get more exercise, but no thanks; I'll walk somewhere a bit more pleasurable then downtown.

I find being in close quarters with that many people way more stressful then driving.

My company is not particularly big but just in my team of a dozen or so we have members in Boston, Australia, Phoenix, and Seattle, and regularly deal with those in London, Tokyo, etc. It's not that unusual; in fact it's part of the reason Slack (and Hangouts) are so important.

Those Bendpak Quick Jacks look pretty nice -- seems like you'd have good access to everything. Any drawbacks?

I had pretty much stopped reading for enjoyment before smart phones. Have plowed through a bunch of books now thanks to the Kindle app. It's a combination of always being with you, remembering where you were across devices, and being able to adjust the font size to whatever's comfortable at the time. The kids getting older doesn't hurt either :-).

Yes -- just search classified ads in northern states for Toyota trucks with new frames.

I switched to TP-Link Decos a few months ago, 2 with wired backhauls and 1 with just wifi. Seems to work fine, haven't had problems with handoff.

Never even heard of a European slider before; it looks clever, but a bit large for a home shop.

Also, these tools last a long time, so even if something better comes along, it's going to take quite a few years to make inroads into existing shops.

Absolutely -- don't stand directly behind the piece when ripping, and use a featherboard in addition to push sticks.

In my experience, there's a pretty big difference between mid 40s and over 50. Companies may be hungry, but they've also become more selective.

It's arguably a better experience if you don't need to be aware of which platform each piece of content is streaming on. And I'd rather see IMDB ratings then the rather meaningless "this is a 92% match for you."

We have a 15 year old Honda Odyssey, and if required periodic repairs for anything, not just powertrain, we'd probably replace it -- it just won't be worth the time and bother, even for relatively minor repairs. But it just soldiers on.

Lots of good arguments against here. But assuming this assignment is in lieu of the usual 6+ hour whiteboard exam, then I say bring it on -- it's a lot less intrusive to my schedule.

The destination IP will be for the router itself, so the router can either re-deliver the packet to itself or drop it.

I don't see how NAT isn't an effective inbound firewall by itself in the normal case where it's in front of local non-internet-routable IP addresses.

"Must" is equivalent to required, "should" is equivalent to recommended, so not at all the same.

It is pretty unique in the US. Most other vendors will take 5-7 days to get to me in the north east (probably because a lot of imported goods end up warehoused on the west coast).

I don't think too many other online vendors in the US have their own delivery vans/trucks.

Yeah, they might not have made that investment in Apple in 1997 -- where would they be today with no Apple?

The point is that there really isn't a difference for most of us. I've had a town send a tax bill to the wrong address, but there was still no way out of the penalty that accrued. We only discovered the problem when we realized we hadn't seen a tax bill in quite a while (it was still being sent to a previous owner).

150Mb/s sounds pretty good...I get about 10% of that.

The actual article title starts with 'Your'.

It's actually not unusual for a car to perform better after a year. Check out some of the C&D long term tests (e.g. https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2016-honda-civic-sedan-... -- both acceleration and braking improved at 40k miles).

For me, using a GUI makes it much less likely I'll commit the wrong changes as I can quickly review each staged file across the entire tree before committing, and also see if there are unstaged changes (including new files which was often the bane of an SVN workflow) which need to be included.

I typically use git gui to commit changes, the cli for other operations, and occasionally source tree to visualize branches and compare with remote repos.

And wary of using options that might be outside typical usage (such as -INF for the backup VIP).

I don't think missing or misfitting parts is a common problem with Ikea -- I've certainly put together a fair amount and haven't run into those problems.

TBH, I think many people don't have the patience to follow the instructions. Even with the wordless ones Ikea uses, it can take a few minutes of study to understand the exact orientation of pieces a diagram is calling for.

The spec seems to: https://swagger.io/docs/specification/authentication/bearer-...

I'd be curious about implementation support as well. I was able to get it to work with earlier versions, but IIRC it involved using the apiKey in header auth type and manually adding "Bearer" to the auth header.

The spec allows you to describe how you decide to implement these things; it doesn't proscribe any particular API patterns.

You can declare types separately from APIs to make your last two items easier.

Don't forget searching for the card number in a book of stolen/canceled card numbers.

Probably refers to earthquakes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_magnitude_scale).
