The same is true for all aspects of I18N and L11N. From keyboard layouts to date formats. I've seen tools that expect US qwerty use hard-coded shortcuts that are impossible to type on different layouts. Something assumptions and asses.

I attended a talk at Devoxx yesterday which showcased how new Java language features can be used to implement a Fuse filesystem. Basically as simple as generating Java bindings for Fuse using jextract on fuse.h, and then implementing a coup

At 1:11 in the video, there's a chart of the TDP (which I looked for in the text but couldn't find). At 125-500W, these things run very hot.

I've been hearing disturbing rumours about ads/trackers, can anyone comment to that?

Demanding that your basic rights be respected by billion-dollar scale ad-peddlers doesn't sound like activism to me.

I have a Chinese friend whose name is 黑 ("hei", black). Whenever they give their name to other Chinese folks, they are met with disbelief and often suspected of using a fake name.

Couldn't agree more. In fact, I've ranted about this before [1]. Names can change, names can be as short as zero or one characters, or ridiculously long. Applying ones own cultural assumptions to what makes a valid name is not a g

This is really cool. I will recommend this next time my friends ask for cool things for their kids!

Is the name intentional? (French, "ça suffit", "that's enough").

If you haven't heard of exrx.net, I strongly suggest you check them out. Their exercise database is excellent, and they have some of best research exercise advice sprinkled throughout their website.

I've happily been writing borg backups to rsync.net for years. They have support for forcing borg in the ssh session using force-command, and borg has options that can prevent deletion (should the backup ssh key be compromised). Overal

The myth of the heavy sword is a stupid one, and I was convinced that it had died out a long time ago. I'm not sure who still believes otherwise? DnD's weights are hardly a reference, as those weights are important for the mechani

Not sure why you're coming across so aggressively. Orders of magnitude slower? Citation needed. I don't think I've ever encountered any performance problems caused by immutability in anything I've worked on. But as alway

I worked on a GIS project only once in my career, but it was a lot of fun. Learning about different map projections, coordinate systems, WGS84, etc was pretty interesting. Tooling wise we started off with MySQL but migrated to PosrgreSQL wi

It would be nice if you could elaborate on why you think it's idiotic. What's "better" for one scenario could be worse for another. There are tradeoffs to be made. In my experience immutable data simplifies a lot of thin

Similarly old fashioned here. If there's no menu and/or no table (or bar) staff to take an order, I simply walk out.
