And yet it gets it so wrong too, far more value is in delivering standard pizzas and standard T-shirts than custom pizzas and t-shirts. It thinks that just offering a cart is a waste of the internet's potential rather than worth the bi

After 5 rejections, what made you keep going back for the 6th and 7th? Isn't there a limit beyond which it's a bit disrespectful to keep asking?

All "big tech" are at it, I tried to go to "My Pictures" the other day and microsoft asked me to run my pictures through facial recognition. They said that by consenting I was asserting I had the consent of anyone who ap

You were right I misinterpreted "out[0] to out[index-1]" but your next statement: > count of how many numbers are in out[] is not true, in the latter case it's a count of how many numbers you want to be in out[]. Consider

In the original code, an index = 0 would not be a problem. Here, trying to access out[index-1] would error. Yes, you could then guard against that of course, but then that's even more code to maintain. If this code is a critical hot-pa

Then you've got a bug which crashes if all your results were even and index is left zero.

And just like that, a micro-optimisation has introduced a bug. If the last number generated is even, it will still appear in the result set in the new code, and not in the old code.

Did anyone ground the max after the first crash or was it all in response to the second?

I went in expecting some kind of Tavis Ormandy type magic to copy files without authentication. "You can authenticate with keys" wasn't the punchline I was expecting but perhaps if I had noticed the domain I may have set my e

It's also a rogue-lite, which are the most streamable types of games. Games where you're winning up until the point of losing (Slay the spire, Fortnite) are easy for a person watching to answer, "Is this person winning?"

English is remarkably monosyllabic, especially for nouns.

Auto-rollback transactions is helpful. Everything is non-destructive without an explicit COMMIT.

Yes, HMRC has 56,000 employees, so it's unlikely that's all or indeed mostly administrative costs.

If anyone's curious this references the 8.3 filename shortening that windows was even still doing recently. Amusingly, that tiny bit of backward compatibility can lead to vulnerabilities as outlined here: https://www.acuneti

"Verified" ceased to be meaningful as actual verification as soon as "unverified" became a thing. I think making it a brand-coloured tick conveyed too much of a positive message so people took it as an endorsement, leadi

That seems appalling, why wouldn't it just have a normal email/password combination?

I don't see a claim that this circumvents secure enclave or device encryption, so I don't think it's possible to "do anything" to an already locked and encrypted device?

Brexit related stress is very real, especially for residents who are EU citizens who may be very long time residents but haven't ever thought of the need to get official residency. "Settled status" is of little comfort when t

I prefer to let the IDE do this. Developing C# in rider if you call `foo(a,b)` then it'll display as `foo(from: a, to: b)` in the IDE.

Perhaps it's because I've never worked with chalk daily but chalk never felt better than whiteboards to me, just thinking about a chalkboard makes my teeth hurt.

People asking questions are being obtuse and also clearly aren't in the UK where this legislation is aimed. It would be like a continental European going to America and going, "What are all these MILES things? It's confusing!

5% is considered weak for that kind of cheap cider too, white lightning was far stronger than that for a similar price. (And if I remember correctly usually came in 3L bottles)

And just as every company is trying to work out how to "use AI" they'll be trying to work out how to "use Quantum" in future, with all the typical buzzword bullshit that comes with it.
