So what do you propose: "People are working around it so we should just give up"? I don't think it's time to admit defeat like that. This can change, but enforcement and courts by nature are slow. With EU courts striking

I don't think you need formula, around here they recommend expressing and storing so both partners can feed breast milk.

That seems an insignificant price to pay if it would truly provide the promised benefits (big if). Even most Linux users don't compile the kernel themselves, and the 5% that do care can afford the time and/or computing resources.

The Netherlands has the best worldwide biking infrastructure and decent walking infrastructure, and these things are a blight here too. They're just parked and discarded wherever because the users don't care and there aren't

It doesn't overwrite or obscure, it switches rendering direction. E.g. \u202E\u41\u42\u43 starts outputting from the right: \u41 from the right, then 42, then 43. That's CBA, altough in normal English you'd render that as ABC

You can definitely argue about whether Unicode should support long-dead or undeciphered languages, but those aren't the characters that cause problems in practice, or at least not more than any random emoji would and those have been em

The need seems quite obvious when mixing LTR and RTL languages, e.g. embed an American company or English phrase in a RTL language text.

LibreOffice is a fork of OpenOffice, which has been dead for nearly a decade. I doubt they rewrote all of the core functionality.

The point is not necessarily that this hack is too much, but it's yet another hack on a system that is already so full of hacks that parsing it is incredibly complicated and error-prone, requiring more hacks in the future. It's

That seems like a bad idea. When illegal activity is done on the internet the first thing law enforcement will do is go after you (by subpoena'ing your ISP for your information based on IP). You also have places like Germany where copy

Even accounting software can sometimes have bugs. Not saying Fujitsu doesn't deserve blame for making shitty software not up t standards and face repercussions, but 100% bug free is a pipe dream. This is more about the organization l

It's a real-life dark pattern. The benefits of showing the price with taxes for consumers vastly outweigh the minor problems for stores, other than makes them look cheaper.

The only currently realistic way to acquire cryptocurrency or for non-tech people to use it is through a 3rd party broker. It's about as difficult as running your own SMTP server I'd say. edit see this current front-page submiss

False memories? What are you blabbering about. Just because it's in the spec doesn't mean it's not a footgun. If something is in the spec and it blows up in you face if you're not careful that's by definition a foot

I'm continually (positively) amazed at the commitment to backwards compatibility from the Linux kernel team and continually abhorred by the number of footguns in C/POSIX/Linux.

Trucks are allowed to be a bit longer now (0.5m iirc), but only for aerodynamic measures. The first few trucks taking advantage of the new rules are on the road now, but it'll take a while before fleets have been replaced. The most eff

Netlify or Amplify if you want simpler. Managed k8s (e.g. AWS EKS + Postgres RDS) will quite soon be worth it if you need more power than Heroku.

It absolutely has its limitations, but you can certainly enable rollover to prevent dropping requests [1] Note that the default was chosen in a world where it wasn't natural that 2 versions of an app could be running side-by-side harmo

I'd be interested in seeing a comparison on this. Washing dishes is a pretty mechanically limited process. I can't imagine that much improvement has been made.

Interesting, it's also general enough to cover extension methods where languages C#, Kotlin and Scala have special constructs for.
