They've already started purging some kind of military academy council as I understand it.

Most of the time the danger of lettuce is e-coli that's agricultural runoff from the animal industry, so ironically it's the meat making the veggies unsafe. Obviously this parasite is a different case but that's hardly typic

So you're just ignoring the whole part about Thiel growing up in a pro-Nazi mining town in South West Africa (now Namibia) that existed to support an illegal Uranium mine fueled by exploited African labour?

Happy to see `git switch` mentioned, I've been trying to use it. The error message with the helpful advice on how to get it to check out headless tags and commits I hadn't seen before though - I'd been falling back to `checko

Is there any good quick summary of what's special about DeepSeek? I know it's OSS and incredibly efficient, but news laymen are saying it's trained purely on AI info instead of using a corpus of tagged data... which, I assum

I'm pretty sure there were tumblers back then. Alternately, there's the old "bury some gold under a family member's garden" trick.

Do the poor lonely braces in Algol-style languages indented OTBS-style bother you? Should we be doing this?: void MyFunc() { DoStuff(); DoOtherStuff();}

by Pxtl 2y ago
Is this better? void MyFunc() { DoStuff(); DoOtherStuff();}
465.
by Pxtl 2y ago
Maybe they should? I mean otherwise why not do void MyFunc() { DoStuff(); DoOtherStuff();} If the close-parens being on its own line is so wrong, why is it right for braces?

The sheer number of APIs of modern coding is exhausting, I can't imagine either trying to keep all the stuff I'm using in my head or having to go back to the docs every time instead of being able to just read the code.

That deep nest of function calls is why I love languages that have bash-style pipelining as a built in feature, either with explicit shell piping features, or where everything Function(myObj) is also implicitly myObj.Method() Then it become

Honestly that's the indentation format I use for every language. Doing it in Lisp just makes sense. My "OTBS all the things" rules: - Never horizontal align. Indentation is a simple tree, with each set of children indented 1

Pet peeve: Timespan configs that don't include the unit in the variable name. I'm so sick of commands with --timeout params where I'm left guessing if it's seconds or millis or what.

I'd say don't do that. Who reads emails? Although seriously, I find I never break out of the preview in Outlook email. The only spot in Outlook where I really need to double-click is the calendar. Which is annoying.

When you're on windows and not in the browser, you double-click to launch a file or program in the Explorer (which also is what runs the desktop). Single-click is select. So, the rule: List of files on your computer or desktop? Doubl

I was trying to find cases of it happening historically so I could check the RDAP record to see how domain registrars use it in practice... and yeah, the registrars seem to ignore a lot of the spec. While they do generally seem to follow t

Okay, this made me curious if there was a technical solution to this that people could be providing using the existing tools available, and I think there is. RDAP and WHOIS will return the creation date of a domain. These fields are contro

This led me to go do a deeper dive. 1) WHOIS has been partially replaced by RDAP although many ccTLDs don't support it yet (notably .au and .us for example). Spec for RDAP query results: https://datatracker.ietf.org/do

by Pxtl 2y ago
Following up on this: Apparently my knowledge is out-of-date. WHOIS has been superceded by RDAP, and RDAP provides event data for registration and re-registration. So even better! edit: it doesn't seem like registrars actually do re-r
