Glad you didn't get into a Twist.

Linux is still updated by someone that isn't you. Even "old" cars require specialist knowledge. You're still beholden to someone else. The difference is now you're being asked to trust someone new.

It's true that a car can kill and that is an important difference but I don't think that is what's new here. What appears to be new is you're being asked to trust something new. My heating system can kill me and my famil

I understand the issue of trust. I think my point still stands. You don't really own it unless you're doing the kernel fixes yourself.

But if the phone network decides to change how connections are made you decide not to update your phone, it won't work. 1G is deprecated. 2G has 11 years left in it in the UK. If you don't get your car serviced; it will cease to w

IIRC they brought it into line with the old SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), which always had the explorer on the right.

Extremely impressive for a personal project! Great job, if it were mine, I'd be exceptionally proud of it. I think the heat you're getting here is from the very slick website that makes Lapce look more finished than it is. It migh

Do you ever own anything highly technical? My phone requires regular updates to keep it secure; as does my computer, my TV, etc. If I get my home heating repaired then it has to be with someone registered or my home insurance is void. My fi

It's a bad move by Meta; unless they were attempting to shed some share price by going up against a bloc that is reknowned for pushing back.

I don't interact with forums on my phone. Long form discussion is far better used where I can type using a keyboard.

Although runs appear shorter in the EU, they're still multi-day. Lisbon to Edinburg is a 2000 mile drive. Most drivers kip in their cabs, not at home. IMO it's entirely down to the road networks. Driving across the US is like driv

Don't want an app, only want the web. Also... > Being a dad is a long, emotional, draining, and lonely journey. Paints being a Dad as something I've not experienced. So perhaps your app isn't for me. And your website doesn

It's missing links to other dumb shit so that I can surf but otherwise, it's on point.

Pfizer was BioNTech, developed in Germany. They might have also had Astrazeneca (UK) or any number of vaccines developed in tandem globally. Also, worth pointing out that healthcare is a separate and distinct industry from pharma. Co-depend

The question is not "what is the airspeed velocity of a swallow", it is "what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?". You're not going to get across the bridge of death if you can't get the question r

Because caching is part of the HTTP spec. If content doesn't change on every request, you cache it with a timeout. If users are looking at your site from around the world, you want the cache to exist as close to them as possible. This

This is correct. Idempotent GET should not itself change the state of the server.
79.
by brainwipe 5y ago
In HTTP idempotent is where the state of the server remains unchanged. A resource in HTTP is what you get back from an URL, so https://example.com/people/show/10 (where 10 is the page number) is a different resour

My experience also. I've worked with 3 different ones and I think the domain fit was good for only one of them. In that one domain model, the fit was spot on because that domain was just a bunch of events and every question you asked o

You're right that there is an implied threat. I've seen work go offshore because there was a dev team to the east that said yes. They said yes to everything. They said yes even though they didn't understand the problem. Yes y

An estimate is guess but is never treated that way. Budgets are built on it, deliveries agreed. Doesn't matter how much you decompose the task - unless you've coded that exact same thing many times before in the same way under the

That course looks great and I'm sure that at the end of if I will be absolutely rocking at regex. Then I won't use it for 4 months and need it for something and all but the basics will be gone. I'll essentially have to relear

I'm with you - if I'm doing a quick find/replace in VSCode then I can usually muddle a way through but anything more complex leaves me somewhat at a loss.

by brainwipe 5y ago
I agree. Regex for me is particularly slippery - I haven't needed to code 68000 assembler since 2002 but I had a play with an emulator last month and slipped back into it. There's something about the syntax that my brain just can&

In fairness, I don't think I was ever a heavy user quite like you describe but if I take another language that I knew well and now dip into every so often - like C - I'm going again in 5 minutes. I don't find that with regex.

I learn regex just before I need it. Every. Time. After 25 years, it just doesn't stick.

I think articles like this serve to drive absolutism through clickbait title. "Goodbye clean code" becomes "It’s an attempt to make some sense out of the immense complexity of systems we’re dealing with". And on the othe
