Worked for me. All the fields flashed started and kept flashing different colors.

Right. I guess that the stuff collapsing around must have formed some sort of pocket that allowed dirt to pile up gradually. Which still sounds crazy, but yeah, given enough events like this, some of them are bound to turn out this way by s

A couple years ago I was toying with the idea of using an e-ink display instead of an active one. I wondered about the same thing, how is coding without syntax highlighting? Not too bad it turns out. You still have bold, italic, underline a

In languages that use short scale, you say "milliard" to mean "billion". You say "billion" to mean "trillion". It's very confusing and a frequent source of errors in translation. Every time I see

If they put their objections in words, they run the risk of entering an actual discussion, which would force them to defend their view. Much easier to just post a meme or an emoticon as a sort of a dog-whistle. Can't argue with a doubl

I do that. Atreus with Dvorak by day, laptop keyboard with QWERTY in the evening. It's basically not an issue.

I don't think Celsius can be considered less arbitrary, and the anthropocentricity of Fahrenheit has its advantages. I would honestly be happy to give up Celsius if in exchange the US et.al. moved over to metric distances. That then wo

Then again, it's not common that people make the mistake of confusing an array with an index. Misleading indentation is a somewhat common issue. So it makes sense to have the latter as a warning, but probably nobody thought of adding a

I heard that people used to use the Bible for this purpose. I pulled this trick with The Hobbit. Be wary though, not all translations are created equal, there might be errors or divergences. I remember the Russian version translated "I

There are various types of nerds, and an "I like paper" nerd seems mostly orthogonal to an "I like hackability" nerd. I mean, _I_ am the right type of nerd to appreciate the hackability, and yet I only use mine to scribb

Came to link this. It is _very_ good, in-depth coverage of all things shared libraries. I believe all this stuff still applies today as it applied those 10 or so years ago when this was written.

Well, sometimes, the _root cause_ is so bloody obvious. But now you have to figure out how to fix it without breaking everything around and spending a year refactoring.

Curiously this "must be on site" mentality seems to be ripe even in some companies that have many offices, and people are de facto remote relative to each other anyway. Getting a "you know, I'm not sure this remote thing

The US unemployment is currently about 15%, up from some 3-4% that it was in the previous months. I wonder if there will be an effects on office space demand, and thus its price. Maybe it will become not as hugely expensive?

The job of that program is to write "404". If that succeeded, returning 0 is reasonable. It should be checking the return code from that printf though!

What I don't understand is why the display is not vertically symmetrical. Then the software could eventually be made to allow 180 degree rotation of the interface. This way the device could be used by both left-handed and right-handed

Mostly seconded. Short papers are just fine. Long documents, as long as you read them mostly sequentially, are IMHO just fine as well. But trying to read something where you need to flip around a lot is painful. One of the use cases I had i

Stack is cool as long as it's the top element or two that you care about. Anything more complex, and you want (well, I do) some sort of a binding syntax, so that it is possible to refer to the value symbolically. I find all those swaps
