I don't think so. Selectively running tests is not in my top 100 reasons to use an IDE list, even. I like IDEs for all the code insight they provide. Running a named tests by typing its name is not a nuisance by any measurable distance

It's not my own IP, but our IP block. As an institution we have a couple of big networking related hats, so we have a couple of B blocks (/16 networks) for ourselves. The IP was from one of these blocks. However, these network ope

Didn't UK had "The Snooper's Charter" as well? Encryption backdoors is not a case of extending reach for a government, but an effort to get the capabilities back . They were able to do that before. They just want to be

When you have barely the upstream bandwidth to send the ACK stream of your downloads, anything sending something becomes a big burden on your system. Not everyone has the luxury of fully symmetric internet connections even in this age. Yes,

For me, both are equally impressive actually. Europe has some great clean-energy countries. Interestingly Turkey passed 50% mark apparently. That's also an out of left field revelation for me.

Because it'll create value . Value which won't bring anything to anyone. I mean, a couple of people can be more richerer, but we and them won't have a planet to spend or enjoy these theoretical riches at the end. So, no bi

You implement something essential in a different programming language, tout that it's better than its GPL counterpart, and lobby for a change. For me, the biggest example is uutils. Started as a "homework", then turned into a

Oh, story time: Once I was using Blizzard's downloader to install something (StarCraft, Diablo, I don't remember), and it was kinda slow. I disabled P2P downloads and speed skyrocketed, and I said "Huh, this was unexpected&qu

Looks like you have some reading to do. Let me start with two: - The Machine Stops - Pump Six These are short stories. If you want to get into more stuff, you can go through Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons. For anyone wondering,

Drobpox has an AI backend running on their own clusters. IOW, Dropbox runs their own local models, integrated to their offerings. As their AI offerings get more features, I believe they want to be on the safe side, so they increased the age

I don't understand this mentality. Growth must be explosively exponential or things are bad, so company must sell out, close shop and go. So, Google should sell Google Drive, Box shall close down, PCloud must cease to exist, Mega shall

Depends. I'm a huge fan of Eclipse (yes, that one) and use it heavily for my C++ and Python projects, yet I have no problems with hitting a couple of more keys to run some named tests when required (i.e. Go). When I'm in my flow s

The pricing got very complicated, that part is true. On the other hand, service quality didn’t go down. They added many small features which makes things easier, on the other hand. I use a bunch of additional services they offer. They work

We’re about the same age, probably. On this side of the pond, all of this stuff was rooted in inability to get something legally first, and if it was possible to get, it was prohibitively expensive to buy for us. So we got it for “free”. Th

The problem is not Taylor Swift is being "inspired" from other artists. We have tons of examples this throughout history. The problem is, replacing Taylor Swift with its AI counterpart, and to use Taylor's own material to do

Using macOS and KDE for almost the same time (~20 years), I still find that I need yet another app on macOS for a standard KDE feature. Interesting observation, that is.

Sometimes you're confident about what you're doing and show how you work to the world. Keeping the garage door open, or at least making the door translucent. It's always cool.
