Don’t forget brib…sorry, I mean lobbying from rich people and corporations owning a lot of properties.

Yeah, I very much prefer the standard denied email than… *thumbleweed*

WSL is good though, whenever I am forced to use windows I install it.

Sure, but in Perl and other languages there is a difference between "$foo" and '$foo'. In that the first expands the value of foo, while the other doesn’t.

But usually if you need to write stuff in noisy strings, just use printf/sprintf. Or a <<HERE block.

Yeah, you could very well argue that JS and others that use it for weird interpolated strings are the weird ones here.

Mine was convinced that cell phones and landlines were two different networks. Like you couldn’t call a landline from a cell and vice versa. This went on for decades, even after we infront of her proved it worked.

Baptism is such a weird thing.

I think Haskell is such a weird thing

Sure, if you use a field often it is most likely better to extract it into a column with auto-updates from the JSON data.

But you have to tune it and see what is best for your use case. Just saying that you can add indexes to JSON fields as well!

And you can add indexes on those JSON fields too!

Some TLDs don’t allow full unicode either. Country TLDs usually just add their own special chars, for example .se (sweden) allows åäö.

The whole thing has a name as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDN_homograph_attack

security none existsnt. Aws security tools used to scream at you every time you open the aws console. Solution at the company was to restrict views to those pages so (most) people don’t see the security/vuln reports. To get reports, you’d have to ask cybersec.

Not going to lie, that is hilarious. And forget red flags, you have a whole squadron of semaphores right there.

Pretty naive to think someone isn’t doing it already, but as someone else said you don’t need to shutdown for it. Infact it is worse if you shut down as you don’t get new data.

One problem with that use case is that you as the creator doesn’t control where (screen position) and how (font face, size, etc) the subtitles are rendered. The browser and user control that, so I doubt they would be widely used for meme because of this.

However, I do agree that it would be nice to have support for it for other reasons.

Re-binding caps lock is such a nice thing. I am a Perl programmer (yes, really), though not in emacs (vim all the way!)

I changed caps locks to $ and @ with shift decades ago. Especially since in my native layout they are awkward to reach.

And then there are things like strcmp() that uses 0 as true. At least it is for a good reason, but still confusing.

Also the storage is the cost for the user, and google in the case of play store. So the developers have no incentive to reduce the size.

I just started skipping the first 1-2 pages of all ads, they usually just talk about what a fantastic company they are, etc. Just noise that no one is interested in, not even the ones lying about it.

At the end after all the fluff there is usually a description of what you are supposed to know and do. And if there isn’t, well I am not wasting my time with them.

Also, describing salary range seems very different in different countries

Missed to change the legend to “North Canada” or just simply “Canada”

I think the last two seasons were very much hit or miss. Some really good eps but also some really awful ones.

Something quite important to keep in mind is that this is nothing new, there have been raytracers since at least the 70s. However, they were never anywhere near real time. A simple scene with just a few simple objects could take hours to render.

That it is now possible to do with much more complex meshes, more lighting and much higher resolution and also many times per second shows how much faster (and specialised) the hardware has become.
