I guess in that time it was not a position, and secretaries where expected to do the “compute” jobs. So mostly ladies learned programming, on the side as it where. They learned it on the job. Programmer was not a career/job yet. There

The OS you primarily develop on. Where does your IDE and devex tooling run.

by barrystaes 5y ago
Whatever the tooling works best on. So Ubuntu for me, mostly as specialised/dispensable VMs.

Try a Mazda. Hands down goes for the driver experience. Dont expect a quick bouncing sportscar, expect a car that lets you sense the road and enjoy driving. Can be quick tho.

There is only 3 ways that i can think of. Either forget/lose the routine without thought, or observe/choose to quit, or being deprived by others. Only the realisation and choice is definitive. Thats the quit. There is no try. I de

I used a self hosted Matomo (free and open source) for websites and apps, and it was simpler and (because of that) more flexible than Google Analytics. Less UI clutter is nice also for colleagues.

Could Home Assistant use such commands by running a docker? Also the video demo is rather impressive, in how accurate (and predictable) it recognises.

I think this is the long way around to simply making a DB procedure? Those have parameters, can easily be run by external tools like phpMyAdmin or an IDE, and if the database constraints are sane will help avoid invalid input.

A "hot breakpoint" seems like a nice moniker for this functionality. Because it feels like hot-dev workflow combined with classic breakpoints.

by barrystaes 7y ago
When the objects are tightly coupled, it makes sense to keep this logic internal. This way its short and self documenting, easyer to improve without breaking existing stuff, and likely has some implicit stability and performance gains becau

Not just you, same problem here. (Firefox on Windows) Workaround: If you look at the WAV file the player loads (right click > Inspect Element), that URL is playable in a new tab/browser window.

Your examples indeed show common problems with several approaches when place is coupled to a time and then proceed to ignore the place (of meeting or user) when converting times. I should add that where we store UTC that concerns a place, w
