An internet café is probably a bad choice, but I can't access a passkey-protected service from a friend's phone either.

For a very narrow target audience (programmers), JSON is fine. If you want the file to be edited by anyone else, JSON is pain.
575.
by Kwpolska 2y ago
I can’t think of anything that is not painful in some way.
576.
by Kwpolska 2y ago
The problem is using JSON as a file format in the first place. It’s not designed for humans to edit. (Then again, it’s better than the Norway-sceptic YAML.)

Is it really a hack? Teletext also worked like this, and this service does not need interactivity, so it doesn't need 2-way communication.

The things you listed aren’t stored procedures, they are all possible to implement as check constraints. They are great, and they are fully compatible with ORMs. A stored procedure is a bit of code, stored in and executed by the database, u

by Kwpolska 2y ago
Stored procedures just add overhead and make everyone's lives harder. Forget about any ORMs, you're writing raw SQL with all the quirks of PL/pgSQL biting you all the time.

A print book would be a fine way to address the problem. While this book won’t be able to show video, it could still do a lot with text and screenshots. And then, videos could be moved into the companion app.

You talk about the chicken-and-egg problem when using a phone, but doesn't your course itself present one? To do the course, you need to have fairly good computer skills, and that assumes someone handles the purchase for you. How many

You may be able to get away with writing some of your business logic in VB.NET, but the actual endpoints, and likely many things around it, must be C#. F# at least is officially supported for ASP.NET Core, and has official ASP.NET Core temp

I'm in CET too, and 6:00 is not an hour where I’m awake, and if I were, my brain functions would definitely not be at a level where I would be capable of coding. Midnight would be much more acceptable.

That assumes that Black Friday deals are actual deals and there was no sneaky price increase two days earlier.

I understand posting about outages of critical infrastructure (like us-east-1) or interactive websites. But this is a non-interactive website, whose only purpose is delivering text (PHP docs) and maybe some binaries. The few people working

That would require the use of a 21st-century development workflow.

Checking for position != 0 still does not fix it. On Windows and Linux, it is possible for a window to span multiple displays. Someone could set things up so that a valid click target for the button ends up in the (0, 0) position.

Why would they do that? The only thing this could change is a slightly prettier UI, they still needed a 16-bit Windows 3.x-compatible install program. Not worth the extra effort and extra floppies.

The installer runs in Windows PE (a stripped-down, live version of Windows). It looks like Windows Vista, because Microsoft never bothered to update the bitmaps making up the fake theme.

Let me restate the problem: I set my system-wide window background to black and text color to white. An app developer sets a label to dark gray text and default/transparent background. The end result is that I cannot read the label. Or

NT4 isn't as nice, polished, and stable.

by Kwpolska 2y ago
Changing control colors tends to break, since developers may set the text color to "really dark grey" without changing the background, so you get black on black.

by Kwpolska 2y ago
Old toolkits make it much easier to set the text color of some label to #444, which looks fine on a light background, but is very hard to read on a black background. Setting it to some well-defined MutedText color requires more effort, and

They've had two decades to figure it out. For EC2, they could shut down the instance but keep storage and public IPs. It shouldn't be too hard to estimate when the instance has to be stopped to end up with charges below the hard l
