> user input needs to be validated at every level Possibly the best advice a new web developer can get. Once you realize what kinds of things can happen with unvalidated user input, it really changes your outlook!

Hear hear! Thanks to dang and sctb, and to everyone who keeps this site up and running, AND to the incredibly thoughtful and interesting commenters!

Yeah, recordings are a great idea! It's been a long time since I did my Alexa skill (...a long time in internet-scale, anyway!) and they may have a way to do some kind of International Phonetic Alphabet kind of text now. But I know th

Excellent sounding project -- great thing to do for the web! How are you going to deal with pronunciation in the Alexa skill?

And this is why I appreciate the analysis by aphyr (and kit!) so much... it really shows what's actually happening. Just sad that it takes so long to do this depth of analysis...

Thanks! I'll give it a go... I was trying with CRA, with the older compiler.

I'd love to use TypeScript, but I've hit walls of errors that are nearly as bad as the old C++ template errors! (Though to be fair, this was a while ago, the compiler may have improved). SO: Any good way to learn TypeScript, par

Does it need similar cable strength as the space elevator (as mentioned elsewhere in this discussion), or are its requirements easier to hit?

Thanks very much for this information (you and @grhmc). PLEASE consider releasing some form of this tool, or at least documenting the snot out of it... it looks incredible. We'd really use this at work.

I'm curious if anyone knows the test tool they're using here, in particular for lines like: $machine->waitForWindow("^Desktop "); It looks incredibly useful. Thanks!

Me too also... I just find stairs boring, so I nearly always take them as quickly as I can, which means two at a time. Really kind of scared a friend once doing it down stairs... he was pretty concerned for my safety!

I also whole-heartedly recommend it. When I took my first drawing class, the teacher didn't use it, but I kind of went through the book in parallel (excuse me, concurrently :-) with the class. That helped SO MUCH when he was (wildly)

Hey -- been dorking around with Go for a few months now. I started with VSC and the various Go plug-ins, and it got me about 50% of what I'd like to have in a development environment. I've since then switched to JetBrains' G

Around the mid-90's I got the kids one of the "Famous Person teaches Typing" programs so they could try learning to type. It had a few typing games which they liked, but they didn't get far. I thought I'd try it ou

Sorry I'm late, but: > one unfortunately misses out on a long history of prior work... that much of the past 108 years of knowledge and wisdom Just curious why 1910 is the magic date here for "knowledge and wisdom"?

That's what I use it for. I've found the " One column of concepts, with one column of articles in each concept" to be a really useful formalism. I found, when using wikis (even just my own) that it wound up being an

Or Go! I've been doing a lot of JS at work, and Go at home; I recently rewrote an android app in Flutter, and it's just weird for the IDE to insist on semicolons after happily giving up on them :-)

After having programmed for some unusual architectures (CM2, others) I have to say that the GreenArrays chip looked to be... impressively difficult to program for. Then I played the game "TIS-100" and found out that my intuition

This is a really good point... particularly with React Semantic UI [1] and Material UI [2] having tons of existing components, as well as pretty nice developer experiences. [1] https://react.semantic-ui.com/introduction [2]

Sorry, should have given a more concrete example, more what I'm interested in. I was thinking Hearts or Spades, which aren't perfect information, but since the whole deck is dealt out, you can (with a lot of memory :-) know what c

Wow, what a great answer -- thanks! I have a question -- in a card game, it appears that knowing which cards have been played is important (or can help, anyway). This seems to violate the idea of being memoryless. Can you "cheat"

So it's many (more than I want to admit :-) years since my Euclidean and Non-Euclidian Geometry class, but isn't this a cross-cap, not a Klein bottle?

I've had a Mikrotik router for a few years now, and have absolutely no problem with Newegg at all... perhaps one or the other has fixed things since your friend had trouble?
