It's called business. Once the industrial revolution began, people are replacyed by machines at every opportunity.

Oracle has entered the lead with audits for both their SQL database and their bytecode tooling.

I'll make your a bet: if these drives are less than $300 in two years, I'll buy you one. Otherwise you buy me one. That threshold is 50% above the price you predict. Deal?

Enterprise HDDs on the retail market (vs premium system integration costs) have been just about $20/TB for years. I discovered that they'll drop by 66% in the next two years.

Sure but Slashdot has previously covered the fact that curl's developers are writing off security bug reports, including about stream dependency cycles in the HTTP/3 protocol stack. It may be adding features but losing security!

(I don't actually think curl has bad security. Mostly I am just tired of reading about the same dude making yet another minor variation on his same complaint, without Slashdot acknowledging that the basic story is a repeat of something that it has covered at least three times before.)

I could if somebody told me the modulation and FEC schemes, but so far I haven't cared enough to see what the actual paper says about those. I suspect this isn't using DSSS or another scheme that has a substantially different chip rate than the coded bit rate.

There's some responsibility of the loss of life on any government agency that allowed for habitable structures in a flood plain.

The camp was in a known flood zone. That entire area is a flood zone. They petitioned the government to remove their camp from the flood zone so they could build more buildings in the flood zone.

The commissioners in Kerr County asked Texas to get the money to upgrade and improve the early warning system for this area. Every time Texas couldn't find the money. As one commissioner said in 2016:

In addition, some of the county commissioners voted against upgrading the system.

Established tradesmen are the worst enemy of new tradesmen. No one with options signs up to be abused.

I would wager the political environment is more friendly in Dallas.

Yes, the free money readily flows by the tens of millions for private companies in Texas, but not when it comes to protecting people's lives.

This is what they're being paid to show.

This was to solve the dietary problem where American's were consuming too much produce and unprocessed food. Now that it's finally too expensive, we'll get back to hot-dogs and bologna as God intended.

The data rate in this experiment was 1.02 petabits per second, so the first number is correct -- but almost 20 times what was given for the previous record. The previous record was actually a tad over 400 terabits per second, or 50,000 GBps if one insists on using more digits than needed.

My dad knew someone who was on a few medications and regularly watched the Fox tabloid. The guy seemed always upset/concerned/whatever. My dad told him to stop watching the tabloid.

A few months later the two were talking and the guy had stopped taking most of his meds (except the one or two he needed) and he felt much more relax. Less stressed.

When your goal is to "engage" people, whatever it takes is the rule. Stir the pot. Get people riled up.

Why allow both fuel switches to be shut off at this point?

Fire? From my perspecitve (non-technical, non-aeornautical) you should not want something like this to be locked down. You should always allow for something unexpected to occur which would necessitate moving these switches in all circumstances. Locking them down would seem to deprive the pilot/co-pilot the ability to react to a situation.

Sorry, but a restaurant still has no business checking my social media.

They want to see if you're a dick or annoying or a whiner or anything else which might interfere with their restaurant ambiance.

Would you want someone who posts how often they get drunk at restaurants at a place which charges $500/meal?

But as the article also relates, they want to tailor your experience with them. If they see you've announced you're on a diet, they won't suggest the high fat stuff but instead something they think might be more appropriate based on your postings. Or maybe you mentioned how you would like to try XYZ, but never had the chance. Guess who will give you that chance.

For places like this, it's all about personal service and making sure your stay is comfortable.

VB.Net has explicit syntax that follows C#'s try/catch/finally: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Flearn.microsoft.com%2Fen...

They added that as the recommended replacement for Visual Basic's legacy "On Error" -- so I don't think your suggestion holds up. Having vaguely similar effects doesn't mean the two "both work out to the same thing just with a different syntax" any more than being Turing complete means different languages are fundamentally equivalent.
