The most obvious edge-case was mentioned by other siblings. My "edge case" is probably not really even an edge-case though. SPOILER ALERT --- My implementation stopped looking when it found a number. So "one2one" or &quo

I did not use regexes, so as said, the most common edge case did not hit me. What hit me was stupid, but also not covered in the example. It was rather implied and obvious from the example, though. SPOILER ALERT In my mistaken implementatio

In my experience they are very much "actual business problems"-alike situations. There's never been a customer that asked me "I have some elves that need to make snow and here's a trebuchet", sure. But they ask

I only found my edge case (and dumb implementation mistake, I guess) by forking a "working solution" from someone else, outputting their solution for each line, then diffing that with a similar output from mine. It took me a lot o

Part two was exceptionally hard. Many people on reddit reporting they were hit by one edge case that's not covered in the examples. But my implementation passed these edge cases too. I was hit by another edge case. So there are at leas

Better even: the parent window knows the position of it's child window. So firefox only knows the one window. And that in a situation where you actively had to allow the permission for the parent to spawn the child in the first place.

In Europe it's not so much that years get warmer, but that winters are less cold. I expect many parts of the U.S. are similar. Frost would typically kill a lot of species, except a few that are specialized to withstand it. Withstanding

I guess it would be a very solid way to present shasums for binaries. Nowadays software often puts them on the same webpage that links to the binary. While that's better than nothing, having them in a TXT record makes it more secure.

Doesn't that apply to wood too? Yet we use wood to build houses almost everywhere.

PHP core has very few datatypes. And many are really just Arrays. Not just "under the hood" but through public interfaces. The best example to show this is that you can `foreach()` over an object. It wasn't a deliberate featu

Yes. And in that sense it's also similar to Chrome. IE6 might have been the best competitor at first. But it certainly did not grow into the 9x% usage and staid there by being the best competitor. It only grew popular once MSFT started

You don't need a cookie banner if you don't have 3rd party tracking cookies. It's really that simple. The fact that all sites have them, shows us a terrifying truth: all websites are tracking us with 3rd party tools. "

IE6 was the browser "most of the world used" too. But really, surely, there was absolutely nothing done well in it. The only reason it was the most used browser was monopoly abuse. And while we can discuss the exact terminology

Any `nil` error, like the famous `undefined method 'users' for nil` is a type error. Every time that serialization gets the wrong value passed in but continues anyway, is a type error. Every time a database-record misses a value (

The irony is that the issues this helps with could be solved far before production. Compile time, or some local runtime even. Just not in Ruby. Nearly all the issues this shows you quickly are issues that static typing would prevent compi

Interesting to think about the implications of a non-cascading system. First that comes to mind, is how in OOP we have this idea of "composition over inheritance". Would composable style sheets be better? IDK. Second issue I see i

It's possible to make Rails relatively fast. But Ruby is one of the slowest languages around. And Rails adds a lot of runtime overhead to that. It really is very slow out of the box. And that matters for virtually no-one¹, because almo

This wasn't an example. It's that your domain, your team, your planning, and any combination thereof put demands on the architecture and framework.
