They have a docker image, I would start with that. It's pretty easy to setup a container in the cloud these days. They even have a tool to customize the container: https://github.com/replicate/cog

The answer is simple: don't copy/paste commands, or at the very least review what you're about to execute after pasting. Reasonable terminals give you a warning that you're about to paste multiple lines and let you read

Your problem would be solved pretty easily by making two changes to your API: * Only accept an array of strings. Not a single string, not several strings, not several arrays of strings, and certainly not a space/comma-separated list of

Have you tried one? Last time my wife went in there for a broken back, she was told to sit in a chair at 10PM and to wait until 8AM for the doctor to come in.

The USA have tried, it doesn't work. People still wait hours and hours in the ER. They just have to pay thousands for the privilege.

> I mean… you can imagine a history being stiched together serverside. And since Git has a builtin mechanism for tracking such things, called branches, we could ask users to create a new one. Then add a possibility for people to comment

What happens if multiple people contribute on the same PR (which is extremely common)? With a patch, that history is lost.

> The woman golfing uses 4 bytes in UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32. No. It's made up of 5 code points. Each of these takes 32 bits, or 4 bytes, in UTF32. So that emoji, which is a single grapheme, uses 20 bytes in UTF32. Once again, just

Okay, let's back up a little. You were replying about a comment that said: > Yes, every codepoint is 32 bits, but every character can be made up of one or more codepoints. And you expressed surprise and incredulity at the idea. I ex

The letter à can be represented in two different ways in Unicode: * As the single code point U+00E0, which encodes 'à'. * Or as the sequence of two code points U+0061 U+0300, which respectively encode the Latin letter 'a&#x27

But the letter Ǳ is not the same thing as the letter D followed by the letter Z. It's a standalone letter in e.g. Hungarian or Slovak, much like æ isn't "ae".

MS has taken the approach of calling UTF-16 "Unicode" as it's what's used in most of their systems.

Latex is stuck in the past. Academic publishers even more so. It's 2022, and I can't use slightly non-standard letters (e.g. non-Latin characters) in my papers without jumping through hoops. It's anyone's guess as to whi

Supported doesn't mean current. They'll fix security holes and help paying customers use the software as it is, but that is it. Not introducing new features or backport improvements.

It sounds like SO isn't really an expert on Excel. The correct answer (Data > From Text/CSV) is sitting at the bottom with 0-1 votes. Most answers are from the early 2010's and outdated.

Seems weird to harp on the cost of a windows license when they're buying Mac OS licenses instead (although hidden in the device's prie).

I'd expect most people who have clicked this link to have done so because they thought it referred to the smartphone OS called Android. Clarification in the title would have been welcome.

If your argument relies on how things were in late 90s - early 00s, I don't know if it's really worth anything today.
