I find this take odd. To me, debugging with breakpoints is just a more powerful and flexible version of thinking about where to put printfs. You still have to think carefully about where to put the breakpoints, too. If I sprinkle a couple o

Exactly. In fact you might employ EEE as a sub-strategy when working towards your larger "PSS" goal.

Oh, no, I actually misunderstood cobby's complaint: the field names, yes, those still have to be unique. Which is also a bit annoying, though I've seen discussions about changing it.

This annoying restriction is lifted in Nim 2; see the linked announcement.

Current manifestations of AI help don't include attribution of sources. That's also an important component of participation on SO (and Github).

That's fine, but saying this doesn't engage with the problems that have been raised at all. It's like saying "but it's the most delicious thing I've ever eaten" in response to someone telling you a double-

Interesting angle. This kind of robotic tracking has also helped me with personal aspirations (exercise a key one). I suppose it is all in how you use it. In fact, I even stopped using it at one point for another activity because it was m

We had a brilliant, visionary solution to this whole problem. It was called Stack Overflow. Real questions with actual answers, no faffing about. Tragically it has been dying a slow death for seven or eight years and as of now looks like it

Inference for static types requires more from the compiler in two key ways that impact the developer experience. First, it's just plain more work to do when compiling, so compile times are longer than they might otherwise be. Second, e

Mapo tofu doesn't seem like a good counterexample since the pork component is as important as the tofu to the dish. Granted there are veg versions using mushrooms as an alternative.

If you do squash merges, how does the queue handle the creation of the final commit message? We already have a problem with trash-filled message bodies with GitHub, and I don't want this to make it worse.

There's a huge gap between sharing a post and having that be replicated and consumed or archived elsewhere by other users/hosts, and having that same post processed against a giant pile of other data specifically to de-anonymize i

OP is about sending the photos over an unencrypted channel, not that OneDrive unencrypted access to them. Normally when talking to a cloud storage service, the data will be encrypted in transit (and then again when at rest).

I don't follow. Macros are literally just vectors of input events; if keyboard navigation works, then so will a macro that replays that navigation. (It is also already possible to record a macro that includes mouse events.)

by alwaysbeconsing 3y ago
There's no reason keyboard navigation can't work in a GUI context. In fact it might be easier to define things like "up" or "forward" since widgets will often have a natural hierarchy with direct references t

Isn't the necessity of skip meetings itself a pathological sign? The only thing you legitimately need to talk to your manager's manager about is things your manager can't handle -- i.e. mostly problems with and/or praise

The thing is, for people who want a small phone, the 13 mini still has a pretty hefty feel. Compared to the 5s/orig SE body it's massive and it's only a tiny bit shorter and narrower than the 8/new SE, while feeling thic

It's an interesting thought but GitHub specifically has absolutely no reason to want this; doubly so after the Microsoft acquisition. Sourcehut, Gitea.io, and Codeberg would be the places to start.

Any sane business decisionmaker would want legal cover for something like this in case it draws a lawsuit. Regardless of whether they themselves think it's okay, doing it entirely on the sly makes it more likely an opposing lawyer can
