Not really though - that's an entire article about how IT is so unique and special in how disfunctional it is, nobody else is like IT, aren't we the special snowflakes. That's almost the opposite of what the previous poster w

I'm comparing this mostly to the UK, which is not a third world country. And to be clear, I agree that DB have been absolutely awful with delays and a lack of proper track maintenance. But to present that as a full picture of the Germa

Truly the worst thing about living in Germany is the apparent national hobby of complaining about things that perhaps aren't great, but really aren't as bad as you might think. In practice, German schools are pretty decent, but th

So this is pure anecdata here, but as a foreigner who married a German, it took a while, but it was relatively little work. The biggest issue was that we needed one of my documents (the birth certificate) to have a seal of authenticity from

I know about Tales From Earthsea but decided I didn't need to read additional sort stories set in the same world. I didn't know about The Other Wind, thanks for letting me know!

It looks like a combination between Substack and Patreon, but targeting a different niche - specifically programmers and people in the tech industry. I can't really see what's that different from each of those platforms, other tha

Someone recommended that I skip straight to Tehanu, the last Earthsea book, and that was let me get Earthsea. I didn't actually follow that advice, I read all of the books in order, but knowing that I had Tehanu coming made it easier t

Maybe we're talking about different things then, but in my experience, MT is a reasonably involved procedure that requires configuring the MT harness to understand where the code lives, how to run the test suite, how to interpret the t

In my experience, adding PBT once you've got a codebase amenable to unit testing in general is a relatively easy step: you can add property tests to your existing unit tests without changing much about your setup, and assuming your tes

You're starting all three promises, then waiting for the first one to finish, then waiting for the next one, then waiting for the last one. But because they were all started at the same time, they'll be run in parallel. Whereas if

While they share the same name, and are both reactive primitives, there are some fairly key differences between these signals and the QT signals and slots mechanism. The main one is that QT signals are, as far as I understand, a fairly stat

This rings a lot more true for me as well: a lot of the overly complicated decisions I've made haven't been because I wanted to try something interesting out (although occasionally it's been a factor), but more because I&#x27

I went in the same direction for the return of my own blog that I'm doing at the moment. My logic was much the same as in the article: most users to a blog have probably found it via Google or a link aggregator, and probably won't

by MrJohz 3y ago
A lot of SPAs do some level of client-side routing, so that if you open up the SPA and click on a link, rather than directing you to a different page, the app instead updates the URL with Javascript and renders the content of the new page.

It depends on how the search is implemented exactly and what the context is, but assuming I've searched for "cono", I would expect results that directly match "cono" to come first, then results that also match &quot

My biggest criticism of the task is that the article doesn't make the goals of the task - i.e. what the signals are that they're looking for - clear at the start. You can see in the comments that a lot of people have gone in looki

In fairness, for search, allowing multiple ways of typing the same thing is probably the best choice: you can prioritise true matches, where the user has typed the correct form of the letter, but also allow for more visual based matches. (

Yeah, I didn't want my comment to be a criticism of Kuzgesagt - like you say, they're usually very upfront when they do their more speculative videos. But I think sometimes people see the Kuzgesagt name and are like "oh, that

The Kurzgesagt videos on these sorts of topics are interesting and entertaining, but they're often very speculative — they can rely heavily on unique but unproven theories, unprovable philosophical questions, or even just interesting

Interestingly, the second example on the official Ruby "About" page is almost exactly that: it defines .plus to be an alias of .+, and demonstrates how it might be used. https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/about&#x2F

The two are definitely not equivalent, but they overlap. Types can replace tests - if an edge case exists but I can define it out of existence with my type system, then I no longer need tests for that case. And likewise, tests can replace t

That flag exists (or an equivalent, I forget what the exact syntax is).

This is the second time I've ended up reading this post, and I confess I still don't exactly understand what was going on here. There's an issue with PDFs missing their contents, but also timeouts and a missing method excepti
