My point is that the part about the prosecutor only applies to the last part of the sentence. It's the newspaper doing an "allegedly" thing. He was sentenced to life for these crimes that the prosecutor says he did. That way if it turns out he didn't actually do it and later goes free, the newspaper will be less likely to get sued for libel.

The article later goes on to talk about how he was convicted by a jury and sentenced to life by a judge.

According to prosecutors is describing "...for plotting to attack FBI agents and seeking to incite a "civil war,"" not the sentencing.

I taught my mom to play by using a couple of starter decks, giving a short overview of the objective and what the parts of the card meant, and then played a couple of matches with our cards revealed to each other. You just need to be patient, willing to explain anything, and be generous with allowing take backs and reminding about any rules they missed. And remember that if you want someone to keep playing with you, they need to be able to have fun too.

This isn't an issue with the Full self driving that people signed up for the beta for. It happens with the cruise control too.

It looks like there is a window there. You can see the frame on the right side of the photo.

It's a common thing in programming. There's some legacy code that isn't being used and yet removing it causes things to break. Nobody has the time to figure out what is still referencing that code, so it just gets a comment next to it saying "Not used, but removing it breaks the build" and then forgotten about.

Nearly 98% of cars sold in the US are automatic. Manual transmissions are often not even an option for a lot of models.

This press release is from 2023. Not sure why it was posted like it was news.

I think mistakes like this are usually caused by someone changing their mind on one thing they wrote and forgetting to proofread the whole thing to see if it still makes sense. I imagine this sentence started out as "Rock the size of a small boulder".

Allowing Google to run an ad campaign targeting their members wasn't the benefit Blue Cross was talking about, that's a side effect from them not turning off the data sharing option in the Google analytics settings.

The analytics data is used for prioritizing development work. If a tool they have on the website relies on a library that isn't compatible with a new version of React, for instance, do they know how many people use it? Having analytics allows you to decide what's worth spending the development time to maintain.

The analytics would be for the web development team to see which pages/features are used. Usually a product manager uses that data for setting priorities on what gets worked on.

It was his stepmom's gun, not the mom's. Article was probably edited at some point, since I see at least one place where they forgot the step part.

I have a bottle of the Dr. Doctor syrup in my pantry. I forgot I had it tbh, since I haven't been drinking soda for a while. It's a decent brand if you have a machine that carbonates water.

A real judge. Immigration judges are employees of the Department of Justice and follow the orders of the Attorney General. He has another case in front of a federal judge in New Jersey who can question that determination.

If you turn the disc over, you can actually count the rings without needing to cut into it! This lets you skip having to glue the disc back together after checking the age.

I had to do this to get the factory oil filter off my motorcycle. Went through 3 different oil filter removal tools and all I achieved was rounding off all the edges of the filter.

Retailers do it because they pay a penalty when a chargeback happens and payment processors will cut ties with them if their fraud rate is too high.

If the APIs are meant for public consumption, requiring feature parity makes a lot of sense. But when it's for internal use by your own developers, waiting means you are making a bunch of new API endpoints no one will ever use. People will write more and more code using the older endpoints and those endpoints will start getting changes that your new ones will need ported over.

I think if you are going to force people to use new endpoints, you'll need them to either write the endpoints themselves or have a team member who can write it for them and account for this while planning. If getting a new endpoint requires putting in a JIRA ticket with a separate backend team, 4 planning meetings, and a month wait, people are just going to stick with what currently exists.

It was basically the same thing. In the code base, there was only v3 and v4. I never bothered to check what happened to v1 and v2, but I suspect they were used in an older, archived code base.

Job posting requirements are done by a game of telephone where each person down the line is less technical than the previous.

A manager is able to hire a mid-level engineer, which their company defines as 4+ years of experience. An engineer tells the manager what technologies they use, bringing up fastAPI at some point. The manager then gives this list to someone who writes up the job posting who just puts 'requires 4+ years' on every bullet.

Nearly every job posting that asks for more experience than is possible or for something weirdly specific happens this way.
