California employees who are discharged must be paid all wages due at the time of termination. (Labor Code § 201)
> of course you had at least one floppy disk drive, how could you use a computer without one?
IBM PCs, even into the PS/2 days, would boot into Cassette BASIC if you didn't have a floppy drive or boot disk inserted: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_BASIC
My high school had the PS/2 Model 25 SX, introduced in 1992, without hard drives. All of the software ran off of a Novell NetWare file server, but required a bootable floppy disk. If you removed the floppy disk, they would boot into the built-in BASIC from the machine's ROM.
Does Stage work for PRs that have multiple commits? These could be considered "stacked diffs", but in the same PR.
You might be able to use FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE, but this would likely require calling the Windows API functions directly.
Trino no longer depends on Hadoop/Hive for any of its data lake connectors. Removing that dependency was a huge effort.
Yeah, URL is from the first release of Java and should be avoided. You want to use URI instead.

Procedures are very useful to enforce business logic in the database, rather than in the application. It’s like putting a higher level application-specific API on top of your database schema.
For Cockroach, it could help substantially with latency for multi-statement transactions, since the procedure could be executed on a database node closest to the leaseholder for the data. Executing a multi-statement transaction on the client means incurring per-statement latency between the client and gateway node, and between the gateway node and the leaseholder.

The H2 embedded database has compatibility modes for other databases, which seems helpful for testing, but ends up being incompatible in various ways for anything non-trivial. You end up fighting the compatibility and skipping useful native features of the target database, while still not having confidence that the code works on the target database.
We now use the awesome Testcontainers library (available for multiple languages) that makes it easy to launch the real database in a Docker container. Testing applications against multiple databases is now trivial.

This is part of the IntelliJ IDEA platform, so all of the JetBrains IDE products have it. I don’t use it often, since I normally rely on Git, but it’s saved me several times after I accidentally deleted a file or made a mistake with Git.
Even more confusing, the 404 on GET is caused by doing the HEAD when the object doesn't exist. Without the previous HEAD, the GET would usually succeed.
Tesla has a slider for the charge limit with 90%+ being designated as Trip and 50-90% as Daily. Even for a trip, I avoid charging above 90% because regenerative braking stops working when the battery is nearly full, which results in a substantial change to the way the car handles. You get used to one pedal driving and rarely having to use the brakes, so it's very unnerving for the car to not slow down rapidly when you let up on the accelerator pedal.
IntelliJ shows you exactly where the block starts, so if you have a line with less indentation (causing the entire block to start at that column), it is easy to spot.
That's not true for SMS-2FA, since text messages are often delivered to the device with the browser. Safari on both macOS and iOS will offer to automatically fill in the code received from SMS.
I've used the Dell U3219Q for over a year for this purpose. Importantly, the monitor provides 90W of power, which is needed for the larger laptops, especially when running power intensive tasks. Most USB-C monitors do not provide enough power.
