So do the students have any legal recourse here? Seems pretty invasive and I personally would not comply l possible but I'm not sure that would be an option.

It's not ever the same, that's what qa/staging is for. Paired with ci and good Integration tests it's still works. Simplicity in a local dev env is king.

Cause it's good enough, and we have ci servers and qa environments.

Simplicity is king in local dev.

I hate when my keyboard hangs and because I'm connected but dns isn't working. Like I need internet for my keyboard. So so frustrating has me seriously considering bailing to some nix flavor if this shit continues.

If you do the Microsoft way. But i find their batteries included approach to be broken more often than not. Tried deploying a docker image with cors on azure. Literally could not do it because of bugs and the gsc that they were intercepting cors packets. Opened up 3 bugs took Months to fix one. It's a tire fire.

So effing stupid. Every company/ vendor has automatic call recording but the prescience is that I as an individual am too much of a child to take legal liability for recording.. Infuriating. I pay for ring central just so I can record my calls. Even they want to give a warning prompt, had to customize the warning to be an empty message.

He talked to support first, they didn't have a bounty program until a year+ after the incident.

It's also a product if writing good laws is really hard because the people writing them are outside the industry, different from the people enforcing them, and often different from the people it affects.

Better to remove barriers and things that silo and centralize power.

Def wouldn't be fun due to one video card pass through. You would have to remote in and swap pass through or just use one without gpu

New comment by ashtonian in "I am seriously considering going back to desktop computers"

Mostly agree with you but MacBook pro speakers are better than most tvs builtins these days.

Also for whatever reason the desktop screen market doesn't know about retina style high ppi displays. It's a shame, same with dropping 16:10.

Or use something lightweight and configurable like https://github.com/a8m/rql to just handle filters.

The two are not mutually exclusive. Dapper provides types safety cleanly and imo is more readable than ef. Ef is heavy, requires trading to understand and is a giant pain if you need to implement performant sql.

I have come to the same conclusion as the author.

In go I use rql: https://github.com/a8m/rql

Which I ported to c# for use in .NET: https://github.com/Ashtonian/RQL.NET

... When the charge should have been dropped instead as the prosecutor and sheriff were both handed binding legal docs.

New comment by ashtonian in "California's housing bill SB 50 has died in the state Senate"

ashtonian — Fri, 31 Jan 2020 09:11:14 +0000

That's funny considering that Google was literally trying to build housing for its employees and the Gov blocked them because nimby. Blaming the tech industries for California's terrible idea of governance is pretty laughable. The state would be bankrupt if not for the valley.
