Names certainly do matter: they're how we effectively communicate with each other. If you call it a mappable, and someone else calls it a chainable (as was said elsewhere in this comment thread), how have we eased confusion? If I try t

In general you can't take the value from the box: you can't make an async computation non-async; you can't make a non-deterministic function deterministic; you can't make a possibly-failed result successful. The await ke

If there is a word for it I don't know it, sorry.

I am a mere vegetarian but I justify it by aiming for generally better, not perfect. (Also I adopted my cat about a decade before I became a vegetarian, it doesn't seem morally superior to destroy her because I had a change of heart.)

You don't need to get in actual contact with support. It's not clear from the linked page, but when you go to the (?) icon on your admin page there's an automated click-through flow to revert to legacy - I just did it for my

WoW was accessible in a way that previous MMOs were not: instead of repetitive grinding from the very start players are hand-held through levelling with the quest system and a story line. The levelling dungeons have comparatively generous s

JWT is just a container for authenticated data. it's comparable to the ASN.1 encoding of an x509 certificate, not to the entire x509 public key infrastructure. You could compare x509 with revocation to something like oauth with JWT acc

https://xn--wxa.bje.id.au/ It's mostly for project logs I can refer back to. I wanted a site that would load reasonably fast, but it's clearly not as aesthetically powerful as other sites posted here.

Flow typing is purely a static analysis process. The representation of the type doesn't change, just the range of possible values in a scope constrained by some runtime condition. Some things that might have triggered warnings no longe

I have a laptop exclusively for work and one exclusively not for work, and at the end of the day the work one gets closed and put away until the next working day. Junk like HN serves well enough for endless procrastination in or out of the

While integers with addition are an additive monoid and thus commutable it's still also a valid multiplicative monoid (or semigroup as described in the parent) and handy to be able to be passed to code that just needs an associative cl

No language will tell you at compile time whether an arbitrary list filter operation will have an effect or not. If it can, it's because the list filter isn't arbitrary, it's probably always a no-op. The generalisation is tha

I've had several upgrade issues. Once several configuration settings were deprecated then removed... Silently. It was difficult to discover why it would no longer start. Another time a bunch of repositories only partially migrated, and

Yeah, but the question was why buy the stamp when smaller boards exist. You won't get much smaller than the stamp with so many exposed pins, since it's basically just 2mm pitch pads packed on every edge. I'd probably say suck

by codebje 5y ago
Exposed pins, for one. There's 30 GPIOs on an RP2040, only having 12 or so of them available is a weakness of rhe tiny boards.

Super admins can set a temporary password. But they can also change a user's email address, disable password and email change notifications, lock out all other admins... They have complete control of the org. It's pretty clear the

I wouldn't expect to have professional development overtly included in a short term contract, either. I'd expect a much higher hourly rate to pay for it though, amongst other things. I'd expect if the plumber worked for a plu

If we're arguing here that it's a great form of professional development, why would it be a joke to get better at your job, on your job?

Having persisted with user authentication X509 for years, I can in fact tell you the UX got _worse_ over time. We wound up sometimes making key pairs and certificates for end users and emailing them because browser enrollment is so shonky.

Time zone rules change relatively frequently - future dates may be better stored in the appropriate time zone, optionally along with the UTC offset at the time of recording, so you don't report incorrect information when the rules do c

Squillions of them. Microchip, Silicon Labs, Infineon, and Maxim all produce such µCs, like the Silicon Labs EFM8BB - up to 50MHz, a small handful of kb of program space, a smaller on-die RAM, off you go. Or pick a more specialised IC like

BitTorrent made itself less relevant by relying on end to end networking and symmetrical links, neither of which panned out.

It's easy to stop calling a now-unused function when some behaviour is no longer needed. The system is made more simple if you remove the function, though. This is more so if only part of the behaviour of a function is no longer desire

The TI-84 Plus CE, at least, uses the same CPU as my board (plus or minus revisions) - but it clocks it _much_ lower, at 15MHz. The eZ80 uses around 30mA at that speed; it also has a sleep mode using under 3µA that I would expect a battery
