By saying you don't want FB getting tax breaks for renewables is akin to saying you don't want anyone getting tax breaks. What do you have against renewables? Maybe instead of tax breaks for renewables, you want increased taxes on non-renewables to make them more expensive?
Correct, we have not seen blackholes/greyholes/whatever. We also have not seen the Sun, all we see are photons emitted by electrons from something, which may or may not really exist. All evidence is indirect evidence, nothing in this Universe may be directly observed.
Given enough time and the Universe asymptotically approaching zero temperature, I wonder if the entire Universe can entirely become quantum, allowing it to once again cycle through all possibilities until one collapses.
It's been accelerating since the beginning of time and shows no current signs of stopping. It is a possibility for it to slow or reverse, but we can't assume that except for hypothetical discussions, which are useful, but not worth spending inordinate amounts of time on.
To each their own. Depends on what I'm doing. If I'm trying to solve a complex issue, I can only devote about 30 minutes at a time before I need to step away. If I'm already past the designing phase and I'm just cranking out code, then I can sit for 2-3 hours strait and I prefer no interruptions at this point.
But same thing from the other perspective. My cube mate can turn around and see that I'm in-the-zone and leave me alone. Programming is in phases, some phase I need breaks, some I don't. In the end, I need people more than I don't.
I wouldn't say it will change how their mind works anymore learning English will help me write novels. At least knowing basic communications is a requirement for any society. Learning what a loop is and how to do math via many individual steps can have some benefit, but I wouldn't put much time into it.
I hate working from home except when I'm sick or the weather is bad, stuff like that. My productivity is increased when I can quickly communicate ideas with my peers. If I had a good collaborative whiteboarding software at home, that could be all the difference I need. Drawing on a tablet or laptop won't suffice, I need a large surface on which to whiteboard.
I also find that random discussions are much harder to have remotely. I need these to relax my brain. For every 30min-1hr of real work, I need about 15min-30min of not thinking about work, but still doing something mentally engaging. Having a discussion with my cube mate is perfect for this, but it's hard to know when to bother him if I can't see him.
There is an over-abundance of mediocre programmers, making them easily replaceable.There is very high demand for programmers, just not of the mediocre variety. Where I work, the problem domain is complex enough that we have about a 1 year learning curve before a programmer brings in a net profit. It takes us 6 months to a year to find a new programmer. We're specialized enough that both Google and Microsoft have partnered with us so we can help them.
In the case of a password reset, if you change the password and email the new changed password, the password reset may have been requested by someone other than the account holder. Now the account holder's password is changed to something other than what the user expected. Going through account activation or a password reset will force the user to set the password. The system should NEVER change a user's password except to exactly what the user wants the password to be.
The difference is if you generate a one time use token and send it to the user for limited access to change their password, then you're using a one time use token. Yay, as expected.
The other way is to change the password to a random value and send this to the user. Similar to the one time use token, but your F'n abusing the password system to also act as a one time use token.
It doesn't seem like much of a difference, but it's a slippery slope and easier for mistakes to be had when you mix your authentication logic with your one time use logic. I've seem strange abuses or requests for abuse in my time. Make you cringe.
When you have one back up route and both can be cut within hours but take longer than hours to fix, you'll have issues. Redundancy to handle fiber cuts are meant to manage the risk of accidental cuts, not targeted cuts.
I had no other option in 2009 other than an online degree because I needed to work full time.
A failing of society. Around here, non-trad students with no degrees get paid to go to a State University. I first found out about this when a 30 year old father of two children was going to class full time and working part-time told me the state was paying him just enough to keep going to school and keep his home.
That's sad for a "University" to have such low quality database classes. In my first semester we didn't even touch SQL until we spent two weeks starting with Set Theory and working into other concepts of how databases work. By second semester we were learning how to profile queries to make decisions on how and when to create indexes, then covered how we could have better designed the database.
I wandered into my professor's room one day to ask him about his thoughts about World of Wacraft's database. He told me one of his students helped design that custom database and he started going over a lot of the kinds of issues huge high transaction databases can have. He was used to teaching graduate students who specialized in databases.
Over all, I probably learned more out of class talking with my teachers about what we learned in class.
I could see 100s, but not 200s. 100s had a quite a bit of team work, but 200s had even more team work. I didn't go to college to gain knowledge, I went to get educated. As a teacher so eloquently put it, anyone with internet access has access to more knowledge than they know what to do with.
Whoosh. I fixed your analogy because it was horrible. Maybe I should have used strikethrough, but there is no documentation on how to use strikethrough with slashdot and they don't use any markup tags from the commonly used.

Or being interested in them. The GP was arguing that netmasks are not something CS may know. I was getting after that CS should know a lot of everything, including routing. How could someone who understands how routing works not understand netmasks?

With having your DB running in volatile RAM. What changes are needed to prevent sudden power outages.
Not for long. Non-volatile system memory is around the corner. already working, just getting it into mass production.

I have seen products, including fruit itself, labeled as "gluten free"
I've seen Gluten free Sea Salt. Based on how they marketed it, I questioned the quality of the salt.

Finding good programmers is hard.
I've never seen a computer that does this. Most CPUs I know of use registers to store data and execution units to manipulate data from the registers.
Pretty much all modern Intel CPUs from the past many years.
A quick google shows a cancer drug can do that.
It not only uses the print itself, but sub-dermal unique constructs.

If you were that concerned about if you'll get a job immediately after school, why not pick a degree with a proven track record of job availability?

It looks like it's a wrapping library that makes it easier to use OpenSSL more safely by limiting which features you can use and how they're used.
So what about all the devices that are not upgradeable? Well, the first thing is not to expose them to insecure networks....
The second thing is to replace them or get upgradable devices. but but but but... excuses.
