See, this looks very logical, and a "command based UI" is great. But the diagram is missing _all_ the complex steps, that makes this type of system a lot of work to build and maintain. You need to be able to cancel. You need to be

Keypirnha is apparently only for "keyboard ninjas", so I'll stick with something made for the rest of us.

Ah, the reason is simple: C# allows named parameters, but do not enforce them. You can call File.Copy both as File.Copy(a,b) and File.Copy(sourceFileName: a, destFileName: b) And confusingly, also as File.Copy(destFi

When using the FileInfo api, it's obvious which argument is the source and which argument is the destination. When using the CopyFile, it's not. If you can't keep track of your variable names, then using keyword arguments, li

c# already has the 'chained' API in the standard library: new FileInfo(srcPath).CopyTo(dstPath) On the other hand, it also has the more error-prone File.Copy(sourceFileName,destFileName);

Now, of course, IANAL. But in these discussions, I always hear 'ignore the abstract, look at the claims'. The claims describe "An image-capturing mobile device". GNOME makes software that could be used on such a device,

Have them click a link to acknowledge receipt. A tracking pixel hit only means that that the email was received and loaded in some email client, not that it was read (in detail, or at all), understood, or acted on.

I think any email that uses tracking pixels could be classified as either spam or marketing, or possibly both. If you use tracking pixels in your receipts, I think you're doing it wrong.

It's an active policy decision in any country where a proposed "polluter pays" type law has been voted down.

Since they told the IT department, I assume their grades were changed back. They did it to show they could, I guess.

The main "impact" was allowing the users to update past windows 7, once they got off their old, legacy, no-longer-updated system :) Of course, at the same time we tried to improve certain workflows and clean up various parts. But

We did that for parts of the system, but that mirroring also needed to be implemented and tested. So most modules we straight out replaced once the new versions were done.

The last full system I delivered was created using a sort of waterfall/agile hybrid. We worked from a backlog, in short-ish sprints, but nothing was put into production until a certain milestone was reached, after multiple sprints. We

I think this in general looks fine: https://inkscape.org/~doctormo/%E2%98%85ferrari I hate programs that re-invent toolbars and menus just to look "good" on the surface. My main problem, as a non-expert user,

The DirectShow filters adobe installs with Premiere makes other programs crash, for me. I've had to disable them. Now, it's possible that this was technically the other programs' fault, but on the other hand you can't bl

The alleged spying on US citizens. I know the rest of us are fair game somehow. This could be a chance to get this before the courts, was my actual (badly communicated) point.

Disclaimer: I'm just a ingorant non-lawyer non-american. Wouldn't a great defense here be that the NDAs shouldn't be enforced because the actions covered were criminal? I mean, isn't that standard with NDAs?

Pretty sure he's blaming them for deleting all his configurations, not for disabling them once the CC bounced. And I agree. If that happened to me, I would move, without a doubt.

Whenever I read these discussions, I always see references to BSD vs Linux. The BSD "way" seems cleaner to me, but I'm certainly no expert. But does anyone know what Windows and OSX (and iOs for that matter) does to "war

A new cloud instance seems like a small problem. The host could just generate an entropy file for the first boot.

You can configure this in KeePass as well, I've done this for a few sites I actually use a lot. But I can't be bothered for every single service that decides to re-invent login.

Now, I'm _really_ not an emulator expert, but as I recall both snes9x and zsnes will read rom dumps from zip files. So it seems to be possible to do this without too much cooperation. If archivers started including useful metadata in a

Well, I just took a cursory glance at the documentation. Ballerina looks like it would be perfect for a data processing pipeline we run, I thought I could try it out for prototyping a new processing step, and see how I liked it. This first

It has like 50 lines of code that are actually platform dependent, from what I can see. Should be straightforward to port to GTK# or Eto.Forms or something, if one had the inclination.

The big problem with the content is suggesting to use an XML parser to parse HTML. That might often work, and several XML parsers have some sort of HTML "mode", but in general, no, not really. HTML documents are frequently invalid

Is it really a "workaround" if they're just breaking the law? I mean, if the allegations are correct, Google didn't find any loophole, they're just hiding the fact that they're selling person identifiers.

It _really_ bugs me that pocket isn't packaged as a pre-installed extension, that you can uninstall normally.
