Well what I'm speaking to more is that most systems that you model, most of the model is already assumptions. So natural or not, that database schema is already invoking assumptions which may or may not be false. Especially when dealin

I would assume it's somewhat speaking to the prevalence of many informal landing strips, and also that river landings are probably fairly common too. I'd have to imagine places like Alaska might also have to deal with that, especi

Funny how the common thread through many of these 'Falsehoods...' posts is that many programmers think that systems designed by humans, for humans, and kept running by humans will rigidly adhere to a set of rules and don't ha

In this specific instance, those people are part of the target market because the project chooses to make them part of the target market. It's worked well enough for Review Board.

That's a bit dramatic. This isn't something as universal as Unicode. You really only need to care about this if you're writing tools that generate or consume the DiffX format, which is not something most people will be doing.

I'm speaking from personal experience, so yes, it sounds reasonable to me. I had to deal with exactly that situation.

DiffX is a bit younger than the tooling I've written, but I have added custom diffing tools to the SVN client for one team I worked with. I've also written plenty of tools that used the information provided by a VCS (sometimes eve

> 1. For most people using multiple SCMs is just a huge and easily-avoidable mistake. Most people can just mandate a single SCM for a project and then all these problems are moot. You talk about SCMs, we're talking about VCSs. Where

You're just being obtuse. It's been explained multiple times that there are tools external to the version control systems that can generate and consume this format. Just because there's no 'svn-diffx' or 'hg-di

That doesn't mean it's not going to be difficult to use that parser. Not everyone has the luxury of being able to use third-party code, or having the time allotted to write a JSON5 parser. The JSON parser some places are using may

DiffX would have been nice to have available way back when I was trying to add support for our custom in-house vcs to Review Board. We had to either contort the diffs from our vcs to some format already understood by Review Board, which was

They are using it. Review Board is a successful project that's been around for a long time, and it's solving a problem they had. One of the most common workflows with Review Board for source code reviews is to use the RBTools comm

Looks like this is being used by Review Board, which heavily relies on diffs for source code reviews, and supports a whole bunch of version control systems.

It might solve it for git, but this looks like something the Review Board team came up with, and they have to integrate with many other version control systems like SVN, CVS, Perforce..etc. Seems like this is meant to address supporting man

Or even just addresses that are split between multiple pluscodes? For example, a duplex where the front door of each unit is adjacent to the other. Even at the 4m resolution, that means both units front doors (and thus street addresses) can

I've lived in a town in the US that did the same thing. House numbers were assigned based on the order that properties were built up or split, so you had a lot of places where you'd have several houses in a row that had consecutiv

It was more of an example in how they pick up on _some_ signal about a users language preference and then arrogantly assume they're correct in their decision, and that it's the user's fault if they assumed wrong.

Yeah I know, I watch videos in six different languages and the automatic translation are pretty universally bad.

by genocidicbunny 1y ago
I think it's more a matter of "why would they have their system language set to X if they speak Y? If they want Y, they should just set their system language to Y!" It's the idea that the user has a preference for someth

Not only the titles, but also the audio track. There's a few youtubers I regularly watch who are trying to branch out into some additional languages by providing fan-made translated audio tracks, and english is sometimes one of those.

I really do wish that Sony made even more info about GNM and GNMX public. I was only starting to learn it when I got laid off and lost my access. I may or may not still have some older docs that found their way into my box as I was leaving
