BiaoJie is literally the transliteration of Chinese. So yes, naming it BiaoJie is saying this is explicitly Chinese.

That's kind of like saying C isn't an alternative to assembly, it's an assembly generator.

If I'm sftp'ing to my server it's because I want to access my files. Not a special shared folder that I then have to separately ssh in, su to the real user, and move into place. I'm not deploying a website so a staging a

I have no idea what "BiaoJie" is (well, in context, I assume it's a romanization of the pronunciation of 表姐), so that name would be completely unhelpful. Whereas the current name describes the relationship such that I can und

Does this now hold the record for most frivolous moderator story edit?

What else would you name it?

Is Chinese the only language with this relationship? Also, identifiers in Apple frameworks are always ASCII.

Apple's response above was talking about iTunes, not about iPods.

I mean, yeah, but I don't want to do that. Partially because I don't want the friction, and partially because that won't work with any other tools that tunnel over ssh (e.g. sftp).

I don't trust key-only auth; what if I need to access my machine from a new computer I haven't done this with before? Is there any way to configure SSH to use a custom high-entry password that's different from the user's

> I don't think anyone really follows Apple's spec for various technical reasons, though. I would have assumed it's because Apple only announced this 4 weeks ago, and the only clients that support it are beta software.

It's not modifying content and meaning, it's preserving content and meaning. When you're on FaceTime, the image you're seeing is not captured from where your eyes are presented on the screen, it's captured from so

We're not talking about renewing already-registered domains.

I think we could strike a balance. Don't put this stuff in the standard library, but have a category for crates that are officially blessed (or even maintained by) the core team, such that if you trust the Rust stdlib then you should b

In general you don't need to bring your own unsafe code to the party. The standard library contains most of the unsafe code you'll need to use in your normal code, and a handful of well-supported crates (like rayon) provide the

Yes, the standard library has many methods for splitting up a single mutable slice into multiple non-overlapping mutable slices. There's split_at_mut() which just splits at an index, or split_mut() which splits using a predicate, or ch

Speedrunners are playing the game manually, and sharing the tricks they find for how to exploit game mechanics to speed things up. There exist something called TAS (tool-assisted speedrun) where you use an emulator with save states and eith

Swift arrays are interesting beasts because they need to support bridging into Obj-C, which makes them rather complicated. Look at ContiguousArray instead if you want the simple version that skips bridging support.

AIUI 3 is the most common if you ask someone to pick between 1 and 5. I was actually surprised to see 3 wasn't the second-most-common for a number from 1 to 10.

In my experience, humans never say "New York time", or "San Francisco time", or anything like that, they say "EST" and "PST" regardless of whether daylight saving's is on. I'm guilty of this

Baggage claim being far away from arrivals, and baggage claim being near the exit, are orthogonal requirements. Baggage claim could be close to both the exit and arrivals simply by having arrivals be near the exit. But airports are intentio

Also if it's in localStorage then opening the same site on two devices would show very different numbers and quite obviously be fake.

I've also read that this is the reason baggage claim is so far away from arrivals. It means passengers spend less time standing around the baggage claim area waiting for their bags. The overall wait time is the same, but it's the

In general that's a hazard of any knowledge worker job. Aren't physicists kind of infamous for thinking they can weigh in on other scientific fields, as if physics trumps everything else? In any case, I think the "judge an ec

I'm glad to hear e-cigarettes helped your friend's grandmother! Unfortunately there's not very much actual evidence yet that e-cigarettes help people quit smoking, and according to the actual ordinance under discussion, there

According to the actual ordinance itself¹, according to a 2018 National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine report, there's moderate evidence that e-cigarette use actually increases the frequency and intensity of cigarette

by eridius 7y ago
So I dug up the actual ordinance itself¹ and it turns out to not be a "ban all e-cigarettes" ordinance. It is in fact "ban e-cigarettes that have not received FDA premarket approval". Which is to say, if the FDA actually
