That still comes down to an understanding of the API. I don't think that appending a SingleLineString to a String object would obviously add a newline. The String/StringBuffer/StringBuilder classes in Java certainly don'

There are several simple data transformation steps. There's nothing inherently wrong with these steps. The compiler can't read your mind and guess what you wanted to do. How would this be possible to be prevented with any programm

Getting benchmarks right is difficult, even for a CS professor. The language doesn't even enter there. What does it say about you that you're asking a leading question in this way?

Nowadays, it's not only "China" but "anything". You should always question if the author has a political agenda to push. OTOH I've read for years about the impeding housing bubble bursting or that the rally of

What about the other maintainers of the code? If you are the sole person that contributed code, that's fine, but what about codebases that had lots of code contributed by other people?

Eyes don't get worse from use. If you strain your eyes because of the lighting conditons, your eyes get fatigued but it has no detrimental long time effects.

Five doesn't sound so bad. There are lots of FOSS projects with fewer or just one people maintaining them. Besides that though, I wondered how much maintenance pip even needs. Shouldn't it be kinda stable? But looking at https:&#

I'm having a hard time parsing the last sentence. Is it "blame Chinese and (not aliens) and get people concerned (to be aware/do something" or "blame Chinese and (not alien and not get people concerned)"?

That doesn't help you much if you're starting out. You have to trust somebody and someone has to point you to something. If it's a specific browser extension or a web page that you can run after you've cut the internet d

It would be so easy. If CSW signed a message with Satoshi's private key, it would be enough to prove that he is Satoshi (or at least had access to Satoshi in a way nobody else had). But no, he's going the legal route for some stra

Yes, not using tables is the best solution for mobile support. But sometimes you can't do without. Then it's nice to know your options.

I think it depends on the width of the table. For a small 3 column table, it is not necessary. The tables on the page "Example Tables I" could have done without horizontal lines and a little more space between rows would have been

Most of that is abstracted away by "use what your library uses". I can't remember if I ever ran into an issue with Java because it used UTF-16. If you look at the example code of the OP link where it reads a line from a file,

Curiously, the paragraph before the line "it's unwise to use UTF-32" ends with "Use the encoding preferred by your library and convert to/from UTF-8 at the edges of the program." And that is the best advice the

I "solved" this by having a separate emacs instance where I'd do mail and usenet. So far, Gnus is still the best mail client in a terminal (that you can have the same instance in a tty and a X11 environment is just a bonus).
