If you just don't want to mail a check every month, you don't need to go as far as a credit card and paying a 2% fee. Your bank should have a bill-pay feature, and they will cut a check and mail it on your behalf. Usually this i

It's an option that just defaults to the system ANSI codepage. After clicking Data > From Text, in the "Text Import Wizard - Step 1 of 3" screen, change the "File origin" to "65001: Unicode (UTF-8)"

Mono might work, but the reference source license doesn't permit you to do what you suggest. You can't copy the reference source code into your project and use it. They're very specific about what "reference use"

I've played a few hours of TIS-100 (Jeff is super late to the party). There's a line between "this is a fun intellectual puzzle" and "this is actually just work" and TIS-100 crosses that line for me. I really

At my last job we used the Green Hills MULTI toolchain as well. We had USB dongle licensing; no license server was needed, just the little USB stick. And yeah, I hated using it too. Awful stuff. We went to great lengths to allow a testin

Assigning fault isn't productive. But as Linode customers, what are we to do? My trust in Linode's reliability is completely shot at this point. I filed a support ticket trying to get more information about the outage, and the

"429 Too Many Requests" means YOU made too many requests. Retrying will only make it worse. Sounds right to me. You should definitely not simply retry on a 429 response.

This isn't "shell golf". This idea that we shouldn't use small focused tools in a chain, but rather we should find as many arcane arguments and switches as we can to shorten the chain, is contraindicated by the Unix p

Go to TI's website right now and look at their graphing calculators section. Seriously, this isn't a thought experiment. Go check it out: https://education.ti.com/en/us/products#!product=graphing-ca...

Here's a related tip: you can skip step 1. Just show up at the local office with your equipment. They can take care of everything right there, and the office employee isn't trained to do customer retention so there's no has

Maybe your source-level debugger only works in line numbers. Visual Studio doesn't. It knows that "goto fail" is a separate statement and you can place a breakpoint directly on that, not on the if statement, even though t

On Mac keyboards, F5 doesn't require Fn because it doesn't have a media key alternative. F5 always does F5 whether you push Fn or not. (F6 is the same way.)

I think you misunderstood what that bullet point is trying to say. It IS "Postgres-Q-L". That bullet point is talking about someone theoretically thinking that the name is logically two parts: "Postgres" and "QL

Accessing S3 from Linode is prohibitively expensive. The base storage fee is the cheap part. It costs three times as much to transfer one gigabyte of data off of S3 ($0.09) than it does to actually store the gigabyte of data there for a m

Namecheap sells PositiveSSL certs for $9, I'm sure others are in that price range as well.

The post I replied to was talking about the "startup community," so I was addressing that. A startup isn't breaking the law by not having the same level of accessibility as a large company. Uber has 2000 employees (excludin

Yes, you do. Accessibility laws generally include exemptions for small businesses. The Americans with Disabilities Act definitely does. Title III goes out of its way to only require "reasonable accommodation" that is "read

You're arguing against a strawman. We already know what the alternative is -- a standard interstitial ad. Other sites do interstitial ads better than your site does. I appreciate the attempt to innovate but I think you made it worse

I'd greatly prefer a standard interstitial ad, like Forbes has, over what you have here. With a regular interstitial, I'm just irritated. With your ad, I'm irritated AND confused. It wasn't clear at all what I had to

You can precompute to_tsvector() in parallel ahead of time if you're storing it in a dedicated column. CREATE INDEX runs on a single thread, including the part where it evaluates to_tsvector() for each row. If you ever need to recrea

They know. They just think you're bad at working the slicer and don't want to make that interaction an ordeal. That's what I've thought every single time I say "thinner" and they come back and it isn't t

You're mistaken, kinda. The syntax wasn't originally "using static", it's just "using" but with a qualified class name instead of a namespace name. The example includes: using System.Math; System.
