Yes, libraries should specify exact versions as well, it's insane that they don't.

I mean, don't use `npm install --save` then. I'm not really sure why people started using it in the first place, it's such a lazy thing to do. Instead, add it to your package.json yourself with the exact specific version you

Also, a lot of websites have this thing where you have to enter your postal code and then you can pick your address from a list of addresses associated with the postal code. I used to live in a development for a while that was so new that i

WRONG. Typical junior developer mistake. Even if we disregard trivial problems such as non-letter input or empty input, this will only work with English and a few other languages. This will TOTALLY fail with e.g. Turkish input (I ı vs İ i).

Mio is not part of the standard library. Go, for example, has excellent support for UNIX signals.

There is no way to select over a range of TcpStream objects. There is no stable way to select over a range of mpsc channels. There is no way to access a TcpStream in a non-blocking manner. There is no support whatsoever for UNIX signals. I

Writing Rust code interfacing libc is a rather frustrating experience though. Many libc interfaces use constructs that Rust really wants you to avoid (for very good reasons), things such as global mutable variables (errno and for callback f

Illegal is not the same thing as criminal, the latter being a very special subset of the former.

This is not really about compliance. They license their content from their media partners and these licensing agreements state in which territories they are allowed to use the licensed content. Their media partners are contractually requiri

Presumably because if the practice of DST ended, there would be an option to either make what previously was known as "standard" or "winter" time permanent again, or switch to "summer time" for good. The person

Yes, well that doesn't seem to be working very well, does it?
312.
by DrJokepu 11y ago
I get the compliance thing but surely in cases where they can see that a request is very likely to be wrong I don't think it would be unreasonable to expect them to send off an email or give you a call to double check if it is really w

Nothing is going to force you to write new code better or refactor old code if you don't have the motivation yourself. I can guarantee you that I could write horrible spaghetti code in any functional programming language.

Oh man, it's absolutely true for FOSS, unless you develop FOSS purely because of idealogical reasons, Richard Stallman-style. FOSS development can be turned into reputation and popularity, which can be turned into cash. It's much

I guess then Grace Hopper wasn't a good enough developer for you?

The F-16 used to be called "lawn dart" for a reason.

The be precise, Scottish and non-British European (EU/EEA/CH) students.

Yes, this is true and it does not contradict with what I've written.

Oh god, not that one again. I have no idea which one I'm using and quite frankly, I don't want to know either.

You don't have to, you can work with React straight from vanilla JavaScript though. I don't know anyone who does it though (except in tests), because it's nearly not as pleasant to work with as JSX. It is possible to separate

Or even compatability with different versions of the same compiler, runtime or libraries.

Really depends on the client. If your client is able to agree on tight specs and project plans, everyone is better off with fixed project fees. The client can more easily plan financially with a fixed budget. You can charge more, because in

I mean, reading zeroed out memory is not really incorrect behaviour anyway. If you know that it was zeroed out, then you're really just reading memory that was initialised with a specific default value. That being said, zeroing out e

I mean, there is also a free market in the UK, yet Faster Payments Service transaction cost a fraction of what wire transfers cost in America, so what's the difference?

I wonder if fraudulent transaction levels are similar in the US to those in the UK and if no, what the reason is for the difference (and if yes, why the transaction costs are so much higher in the US).

It's insane how expensive financial transactions are in the United States. In the UK, the equivalent of an ACH transaction would be a BACS payment, which costs roughly 30p ($0.45) for a small business per transaction, although some ban

Some problems cannot be easily solved with money. Paying patent lawyers and patent royalties is an example of a problem that can be very easily solved with money.

I'm sure that one of the world's richest corporations will find a solution to this problem.

I'd also add that (unless you have a very good reason not to) it's probably a good idea to always add a TTL (expiration date) to any key you store in Redis to enforce the "not primary storage for data you cannot afford to los
