I don’t really see a problem with going up Nevis without maps etc, so long as you take the tourist route, start early, and the weather is good. In those conditions the tourist path would be busy and it’s just a long hike, there’s no mountai

Eh, I'd rather the thread discussed the language features in TFA. Once again, a potentially interesting comment section is sidetracked by yet another referendum on {{ niche_programming_language }}'s application to web developmen

There had been plans to phase out the cheque in 2018, however the portion of the population that still uses cheque wield popular sympathy, so the plan was abandoned. Now the official line is that cheque's will continue as long as peopl

Ultimately I have to count myself a winner. I’m fairly young and with no family (and too nomadic to have deep friend groups in one place), I was able to move out of my house share and back to my parents to work remotely. I got a dedicated h

I see this take a lot, and vehemently disagree. An OO language with record types and pattern matching expressions, plus a vague hint of union types in the future; is not a functional language. Depending on who you ask, it's either a qu

In general I agree, but one thing I've never learned is resolving merge conflicts in the CLI. I've always just used IDEA's merge resolution tools. Does CLI git provide any tools to help with merging?

It's hard because often cheaters will play 'clean' until they get behind or to a particularly ambiguous spot, when they will cheat for one or two moves. The really hard part of chess is what to do in the mid game, once you&#x

No, likely out of diffidence onivim has a very similar design to VSC. It doesn't appear to share any code with VS Code though.

Of course. I've joined a company that uses nuxt with nuxt-auth, which is incapable of securely (i.e. not) storing tokens. This means access tokens are stored by JS in cookies. So I know the app is vulnerable to XSS, but there is no way

It's an interesting discussion, for sure. I'm on the buy side right now, because it's an accounting solution, and I'm scared we don't know enough to build a competing product in a regulated space. We're more le

There’s a parallel to software here, somewhere. When you take out insurance against an event even if you think you could absorb it anyway, what you’re really insuring against is the costs you don’t foresee. I’m having a ‘build vs buy’ discu

As someone whose floor was flooded, it did not cost £7000. It cost the insurance company £274,000, just to (badly) fix it, then a further £15k in compensation for everything they screwed up on the way, then another £100k for loss of value a

Can't speak for all dbs, but many use a clustered index on the primary key. In this case, the physical rows are stored in the order of the index, rather than just pointers to the rows. If you are inserting non-sequential data into a cl

The fundamental difference is that vue and react uses a virtual DOM, which alpine does not. This is important when you consider why alpine exists - IIRC, it was created with LiveWire in mind. In LiveWire, the changes to state run through

Herding dogs are like that. When I was about 5, we took our 1yo Bernese Mountain into a field with grazing cattle. Being young and boisterous, and of a cattle herding breed, he naturally rounded them up fairly quickly. Cows are smart though

I liked the book ‘Elixir in Action’. It shows some of the language then immediately jumps into building a way too overcomplicated program (a distributed TODO list) that nicely shows off the features of elixir. After that I just read some co

I'm not sure about Lindt, but Valrhona is very easy to buy in catering quantities, and fairly cheap. IMO Lindt is a more interesting chocolate on its own, but that works against it in cooking where you just want the 'normal'

So the massive drawback of fish is it's incompatible with bash (and other shells people use). If you're in fish, this is easily remedied because almost every machine has bash too. However, you can't expect another machine to
