The AsciiDoc example is an interesting one as I've not seen really any discussion about "whitespace" as offensive and cannot really find anything. Add onto the fact that stuff like wikipedia also still refers to it as whitesp

At least in this instance, the racial biases of facial recognition will not be a problem for the overwhelming white mob.

A lot of these pieces on "ethical AI" just seems like theater to me. I'm sure if you ask the authors of the modern techniques of facial recognition, they'd tell you all about the wonderful and great things you can accomp

Reproducibility would be a problem in scientific circles regardless of language. Researchers are negatively incentivized on reproducibility to avoid scoping and the like.

C# and F# are great examples of how MS is willing to allow people out of their ecosystem to use them with all their efforts with .NET Core and having it run places other than Windows. npm is trivial to replace with yarn and a custom registr

There are enough other Republicans in the Senate from safe states that I'm sure one of them would be happy to play obstructist on any Democrat policy. Eliminating any one senator without gaining majority is just a morale victory.

They and their base are not operating in good faith. Trump and other high level GOP very publicly stated that doing these sorts of things to improve voting would only help Democrats and that's why they're opposed. The Us vs Them m

Portugal is one of the hallmarks here where decriminalizing the drugs, and then spending the money on outreach, safe needle programs, and recovery centers have helped them not just with drug addiction problems they had, but also in lowering

Not really, and hasn't been for a while, assuming your hosting your code on GitHub or GitLab. Both offer a service that is comparable to Travis, and are much better backed at this point after the acquisition of Travis and gutting of th

Except in these cases, undefined still can make complete sense if you're willing to rephrase things (like sindresorhus is). For your Node.firstChild example, one could say that if a node has no children, then it's firstChild is no

Except for the privatized prisons who don't actually want to rehabilitate their inmates so that they're more likely to recidivate and end up back in prison. The prison system has to be completely overhauled and freed from capitali

It doesn't look like it provides FK looking at the create table syntax. Just PKs, unique, and check on an expression similar to sqlite.

And then they can have frank discussions with their employers on why the diversity of salaries for similar levels of work.

Not everyone who works in a major corporation are tech literate, nor do they want to be. IRC is not a great program for those folks who have such simple requests as "save my history and show it as I switch devices" (due to then re

SomethingAwful has a similar requirement on spending money for an account, but that's not stopped people from doing dumb things to get muted or banned, keeping the moderators quite busy.

Coupled with a lot of academics viewing coding as an unfortunate requirement to their craft. I can probably count on one hand of the folks I've worked with who know what a linter even is, or even keep minimally abreast of new versions

This is untrue: https://3v4l.org/PLcj1 I mean, if you stick enough 9s, it'll probably become true, but that's true in most languages (ignoring the implicit type coercion, but if you don't want that, then use

phpstan, phan, and psalm all exist and can provide these sorts of static analysis checks.

Because it's not really a dependency manager, just a "dumb" installer and uninstaller. It's for this same reason you can specify an incompatible set of dependencies in requirements.txt and pip won't bat an eye.

Bad UI is basically consistent in all descriptions of all healthcare software. After working for a couple first responder outfits, I'm increasingly positive the companies who make this software do not have anyone on staff who have actu

It should be stated that you should either use the first approach (display none) or give a 0 height/width, so that screen readers don't pick up these fake fields and ruin accessibility on your form.

Because it would cost money, and I'm honestly not sure most academics (at least in CS) truly realize the dumpster fire that is their coding.

It is annoying to me that I see the same message three times. Showing these messages after npm install just does not scale in a useful way, especially as there might be important usage messages that do show up on installation.

YAML 1.2 fixed this making booleans just true/false and it's a real shame that a lot of things still use 1.1

That's the trick of these ML approaches though is that we trade the cost/time of building semantic understanding for something that appears to work, but will produce things that make no real semantic sense/understanding.

Yeah, it was this really. The author had largely abandoned the project, someone emailed him asking for it (who had no github presence whatsoever), and the author obliged. Here, there's in theory the effort that the people being given t

Yeah, picking up undergrads (or even grad students) from the CS department is not a surefire way to end up code that follows best practices, is well maintained/documented, etc. and I'd probably argue if your team leader doesn&#x27

Yeah, it was disappointing to see that the author of Gogs considers stuff like deleting branches and doing squash and merges outside the scope of what Gogs should do. Much happier after moving to Gitea.
