The US and most of the world may recognise those pieces of paper as worth some of their currency. This doesn't mean I can't recognise them as toilet paper.

Python's async works on a single thread, C# uses a thread pool. Calling a blocking method is not ideal, but doesn't ruin everything, and it's easy to hand that work off to a separate thread by using Task.Run.

There's bias and there's refusing to say Hitler is worse than repealing net neutrality.

Ever heard of wristwatches? Or phones that show the current time prominently on the lock screen?

What’s the difference between terminators and separators here? The ndjson spec [0] doesn’t say anything like that, and it seems that ndjson and jsonlines are identical in what documents they accept. [0]: https://github.com/n

This is a badly written Backblaze advertisement. It’s full of incorrect information about the competitors — Dropbox and OneDrive do keep old versions of files, for at least 30 days (Google probably does too, but I couldn’t find a number.)

There's an EU law demanding such documents to be delivered on a "durable medium". Some banks and financial institutions may have a strange approach to those, even though email attachments seem to be enough for others.

Continuing with the trend, the Polish word for outhouse is sławojka , named after Felicjan Sławoj Składkowski, a prime minister who is responsible for making them mandatory in the countryside in the 1920s, and apparently touring the countr

Politicians committing crimes end up in courts and then in prison, plain and simple. And this is plain propaganda, repeating many talking points of the PiS party (the party previously in power, who illegally used Pegasus).

You have standardized on int64 = nanoseconds. Libraries you use might have standardized on int64 = milliseconds, int64 = seconds, double = seconds, or the preferred DateTime class/struct of your programming language — even the C standa

(This is a side effect of JS not having a real integer type.)

I use one PWA, and it's working pretty well. One of my banks has an app that is just a web view (listed on the Play Store), and it's a bit janky at times.

I wouldn't use an int. Some things use milliseconds since 1970 instead of seconds to get sub-second precision without involving double, and you need to read the docs to understand what is expected. Or you can just pass a DateTime objec

For past events, knowing the local time might be useful context. I'd store local time with UTC offset, or with IANA time zone name (which might change the UTC meaning if there's some change affecting past dates in the IANA databas

Calendars like Outlook let you specify a timezone for the event. If it's set to Europe/Warsaw, the US goes out of sync for a few weeks. If America/New_York, the EU does. This still isn't a problem for a meeting between L

DST and local time are relevant in calculations when humans are involved. A user in Japan shouldn't be told it's still Sunday just because it's still Sunday somewhere in western Europe. If I set up a recurring meeting every M

Politically-motivated forks by non-developers have happened in the fast. For example, https://github.com/ayojs/ayo — a fork of node.js, whose only changes were to README.md and CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, everything else was j

How many of those members are actually capable of maintaining the codebase? How many of them will leave at the first sign of trouble or some petty conflict?

NPM’s got Microsoft/GitHub behind it. I doubt those features bring in any serious money, given the abundance of free alternatives.

If you need to hide the dumb notch, I’d take my nice wallpaper, scale it down to the exact resolution, and just add a black bar as high as the menu bar is. This can be a bit ugly when the wallpaper appears without the menu bar, but it’s a f

We are talking about multiple Aldi stores. I don't know if Aldi US is one company, or a franchise, or something in between. But I'm pretty certain they have more than one store.

The 2015-2019 12-inch MacBooks had zero benefits over MacBook Air, maybe other than the Retina screens, until the release of the 2018 Retina MacBook Air. Other than that, they had CPUs <= 1.4 GHz, a single USB-C port, and even the camera
