   Lately, the Chromecast has become substantially worse, with many more ads and of course a stupid update nobody asked for showing kind of a tablet UI when you're in "idle" mode with the phone connected to the TV (idk how you&#

   Maybe. The comment and the article doesn't advocate repetition for repetition sake. It serves as a warning against prematurely trying to "factor out" seemingly related code that can, later or in that moment, prove to not be e

   When is it offline? A few days (or weeks) every 12-24 months? I don't think it's a major problem with a network of nuclear plants, you can plan the fuel replacement and have a steady power supply (nationwide). You can control when

   It seems to be back up, I can access the Control Panel and my servers. So around 1 hour downtime for me, 7:20 to 8:20 UTC.

   I was just going for a peaceful morning walk, trying to start the day with some sunlight. As soon as I sit on the first bench with sun I can find, the dreaded message comes: "everything is down". Thank you! I had almost forgotten

   C# in mono has the csharp interactive prompt, and you can also use it to run script files (like .csx). Java often uses IDE but there are tools to run a REPL. Groovy had this before Java got it. You can use it to write Java, since Java code

   I'd like to thank the author of the site for the entertainment (indirectly) provided in the HN comments. The rage is completely understandable. Man it's 21 (direct) dependencies plus six services. Great for demonstration but plea

   You could always store JSON as text, but you'd miss out on the ability to query over JSON efficiently, among some other things, see [1]. Maybe that's what made it useful/viable to GP. [1] https://dev.mysql.com&#x2F

    Good point. The state doesn't decide what's "good" or "bad". We must not forget that. Laws are useful but are an application of power. Power of who? Of the people? Of some bureaucrats? The answer will not be bl

    I see usages of fgets in Ch4, not bare gets (didn't check thoroughly) /* Read a line of user input of maximum size 2048 */ fgets(input, 2048, stdin); So that fgets does not read in too much data we also must als

    Noticed the same this morning, but note they took the link out of the main page (of SBG2 and 3): https://www.ovh.com/world/community/status/ Probably the best they could do at the moment.

    I picked two or three random stories, and learned a lot just from that, be it technology I didn't know about or just some trick for debugging. Recommended.

    They could use some alignment. It's one of the basic rules in design, and it really seems a bit off when the files are centered but the hmenu with Issues, PRs... is left-aligned. Maybe they had some cramming issues when there are many

    We'll see. For example, Portugal has already said they will keep DST despite what EU decides. They already tried removing DST in the 90s and most people there disliked it.
