It’s sad how many big websites get confidence adjustment wrong. A big downside to the workaround proposed here is that it doesn’t re-include those things that have a small number of low scores. If a product on Amazon starts off with a few 1

In many bash configurations, ctrl-o is bound to 'operate-and-get-next’. If you hit up 20x, you should then be able to hit ctrl-o to run that command, and your history will automatically go to the next command down. Check it out, it’s g

There are legitimate ways to be critical of the UK’s EU membership as a long-term economic strategy. Reasoning through these criticisms carefully and cogently might be possible. And afterward, it’s not out of the question that someone could

I think this is one of those “chain of free speech” issues. This guy was exercising his freedom of speech and being an ass. Bumble’s exercising their freedom of speech by shaming him publicly. And we are all exercising our freedoms of speec

I mis-parsed the headline as “WWDC for (OS X 4.0)” instead of “(WWDC for OS X) 4.0”. I was confused until I clicked.

At least on Safari on OS X, the native browser player lets me download the source video file. The ClickToPlugin extension gives me this native player on YouTube videos, so I find this to be a much easier way to save simple videos. However,

Ideally tabs. That's what they're for. But at some point someone on your team who doesn't understand the difference is gonna start making changes and screw it all up. Because of this, I use spaces. That way it always looks th

Correct. Once you successfully cast to a function pointer, the compiled code will do all of the various register bookkeeping for stack management, then jump to the instruction specified. If it's legit assembly, then you're in busi

According to the diff (and its accompanying message) this is what it supplements. It allows one to specify “nsa” instead of “random”, and it’ll fill in the first three bytes (with 00:20:91) for you.

No clue why you’re getting downvoted. I’ve seen at least two other (now-closed) posts about this that linked back to the original you pointed to.

Three year old article teaches slightly outdated techniques and basic ZFS usage on linux by way of specious comparisons to GIT. I guess it wasn’t a half bad resource when it came out, but these days there’s got to be better blog posts about

Agreed. I think (bugs/LOC) could even work.

In addition to being misleading, this article is also two years old (April 4, 2014).

I may be wrong, but I think the point of this post is to show that all of these projects are losing a degree of portability by making the assumption that the `git` binary lives in `/usr/bin` on its target platform. There are many

This claim may be true, but I doubt it’s true simply because of the graph on the left. The data needs to be normalized based on the quantity of code written in each language. What we’re looking for is the concentrations of “wtf” within a co

Lacking any “real” contradictory evidence, I guess we have to take the police’s claim reluctantly at face-value. The police don’t exactly have an impeccable track record when it comes to on-the-record honesty, but in this case their (often

I’m sad that the author seemed to know neither the original proper wording, source, nor context of the jwz quote about regular expressions. Maybe JWZ’s quote has just spread too far or too wide. Either way, I think Jeff Atwood hit this nail

I wondered the same thing myself. I suspect they can/do, but that their guesses aren’t great for general, more complicated fonts. That might make it inappropriate for larger print work.

I think JS is a pretty bad language. It’s a down-and-dirty language that was in the right place at the right time 20 years ago. But if you want to do web stuff, then you absolutely must know it. In all, that’s no big deal for folks who alre

I believe CISA is more about what the feds MUST do and what private companies MAY do. It’s incentivising the private companies to rat you out, not requiring that they do so.

I believe that CISA is mostly about changes within the government itself about sharing data between agencies. It seems to interface with the non-government world insofar as it lets companies share their data with government agencies without
