Can you keep the database on a local disk, Dropbox etc?
902.
by dorfsmay 8y ago
Password managers across devices: Either use a service that syncs up to a server, or a standalone apps and save its encrypted database to a shared filesystem such as Dropbox or pcloud.

I moved from vi and vi clones to vim for its Unicode support, but then started learning all its more advanced operations and have been enjoying them since then.

If ed looked familiar is because you use a derivative of it in vim, in ex-mode. You can also run ex standalone, which is great to automate file changes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ex_(text_editor)

When using multiple keyword with the + and - signs, it graphs the sum of all posts requiring one technology in addition to all posts requiring the other technology. It'd be great if there was a way to graph sum of all posts that requir

In Python without type annotation, what do you find about a lambda that is easier than a named function?

by dorfsmay 8y ago
Interesting, the word exist in English too, but I cannot find anywhere how it is supposed to be pronounced, in either language.

What are "Native Java Functions"?

by dorfsmay 8y ago
My concerns about the JVM aren't so much CPU, but memory usage and ease of distribution. Those two factors have, IMO, helped take golang where it is today. Today you cannot run your Clojure apps on a small 250 MB VM, and distributing i

For me personally I gave up on Clojure because of the JVM. Had there been a Clojure, supported by its main author and community compiling to native, it'd probably be my main language today.

Worded differently: With non-SNI TLS (traditional) the server name is only sent ONCE the connection is encrypted, you can have several severs by using Subject Alternate Names (SAN), with a de facto maximum of about a 100. All the names have

To OP: please call a crisis line. Suicide is cutting out options. By living you still keep all options open, including suicide. So there is nothing to lose by delaying your decision. I'm sure at least once in your life you've expe

My understanding is that road damage is linked to tire pressure and contact surface, and that bus and trucks with bigger tires have a larger contact surface hence the same pressure as a car and therefore don't do more damage than a car

You use JavaScript a lot more than python, right? Intuitive usually means "close to what I'm used to".

Interesting... I'm a newbie at Rust, and expected y to be a float, because of the division. But it turns out let x = 11; let y = 11/2; ==> y = 5 Given how type safety is important to Rust, I expected this to panic

And indeed that in my opinion is an issue. People in Quebec are french-speaking or francophone, but calling them "French" is dismissing everybody in Quebec who is not of "pure" French descent.

Until recently, it was "so embedded" in the anglophone (and all Latin languages) to use the male gender when unspecified (AND plurals in Latin languages), and yet enough people appeals to sense did make a difference. Why is it coo

If we're going to be political about gender, shouldn't we be political about the invasion and oppression of the native people by Europeans and Latin culture?

In 2018, this is kind of sad, judicious combinations of generator expressions and list comprehensions is so much more interesting (use lazy and eager evaluation where it matters)! Anyway, I did that search in 20 tabs and didn't get any

Why do you vote? To me giving to charity is like voting, but with some weight behind it. Voting is trying to influence the chances that shit happens, while giving money is putting fuel in the machine that makes shit happen.

Thanks, I browsed quickly through the explanations and didn't see that. That explains why java frameworks are doing so well but raises questions about pypy! EDIT: Looking closer, tornado is faster running pypy.
