Layouts implemented with tables make sense when you need to place elements once, and not a ton of them at once. Making even slight changes to your tables within tables within tables is such a nightmare, that throwing out all of your code an

If I had to make a guess, you, as a person, can't implement an OS, personal computer, or any other appliance in your home. Maybe you can do the wiring or manage to dig out the basement itself. Not sure why browsers specifically draw yo

It is a bit fractured - there is a Redot fork. But that was caused by governance issues, not anyone's desire to sell the engine.

There are so many possible scenarios. What if the campus is infested with face-huggers from the award-winning movie Alien? What if there are still Jewish students and faculty members who need to be harassed anonymously? I'll leave thos

Phrases like "eat the rich" and "liberals get the bullet too" are variations of what you've exemplified, but a common response to them is just a shrug. We saw a lot of this kind of sentiment publicly expressed after

If you're seriously ill, you should get treatment, not walk around hoping that a piece of cloth will save others from exposure to whatever it is you're coughing up.

Quirks in this article and others like it are not something that would be encountered under normal circumstances unless the programmer is doing something silly (like skipping semicolons, ever touching eval, or relying on type conversions).

With SPA, all your backend has to do is spit out data and sometimes validate it, leaving your front-end completely in charge of presentation and user interaction. You can even have completely separate teams working on it. It feels a lot les

Putin's capacity to wage war is by no means unlimited. This war has the potential to bankrupt Russia (just look at its 21% key rate) and the US already has experience in pushing an adversary to collapse.

This argument makes no sense - you have never been asked to pay a special "Kurdish" tax, or a special "Ukrainian" tax. You will still pay the same amount (or more) of taxes even if the US becomes completely isolationist.

You have to both outnumber the loyalists to certain degree and show significant determination. Euromaidan did that with 800,000 protesters at its peak. As a percentage of the population that's less than what Belarus saw, but at the sam

Sounds like a recipe for getting people with knowledge of security best practices and people with knowledge of the systems being developed, but not both at the same time.

I think you can accommodate most changes by storing ordered list of IDs of visited nodes as well as variables set by choices. This way if you'll delete or replace some nodes or branches you can walk back to still existing parts.

Wouldn't you pause for a moment to consider how a 2004 standard is relevant to a COBOL codebase that is probably more than 50 years old at this point?

The killer feature that made me switch to DeaDBeeF was the replaygain scanner that works out of the box. I just wish it would integrate better with the KDE environment.

By this definition, mom telling you to clean your room is also a form of totalitarianism, and yet you somehow find the strength to manage.

But are they wrong? I'm pretty sure that I can ask any LLM to produce a followup for "Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity" and get one as good, or even better than the original. Lack of percolation would actually b

What has changed over the years is our expectations and requirements. Sure, you can skip "all the noise" and slap an attribute on your button, but then you'll have to track down another 20 buttons in your codebase that need a

The only thing that removing anonymity would do is make it easier to harass people with dissenting opinions. Professional bad actors can switch to posting under "real people" names, just as spammers now post from home IP proxies.

A fix here would be to drop snapshot testing altogether, since being flaky and overly broad is a natural result of dumb diffing of your app's output.
