I argue that it’s not possible to determine the mime type of a file from its contents. For example the content could be malformed. An editor or IDE should still highlight it so the user can find the syntax error. Of course, for some files i

"Finally, a command line shell for the 90s" That line is what got me to try it. I didn't like it so much at that time. Then I tried it again a few years later. And I switched back, again. Recently, I've tried it agai

If you search for the heading "All-New Design Enabled by M1" (near the beginning), then there is an image that shows the layout of the small keyboard. Further down, under "Touch ID Comes to iMac, Along with Color-Matched Acc

Having used one, I guess people just behave differently. For example, when riding an elevator, you might be looking at your smartphone, but if you take the stairs, you don't. Getting onto and off a paternoster is pretty exciting, so y

Once I saw kids begging and I wanted to give them money. But they pointed at the packed leftover food from the restaurant. Then I knew it was not a scam and it taught me about the living conditions in that place. Thank you for the chance to

I guess the appeal of Datalog is the recursion that can be expressed in rules: has_descendant(?ancestor, ?descendant) :- has_child(?ancestor, ?child), has_descendant(?child, ?descendant). Here, the assumption is tha

Here is the paragraph that describes what rebase does: > This operation works by going to the common ancestor of the two branches (the one you’re on and the one you’re rebasing onto), getting the diff introduced by each commit of the br

They say that UTF-16 is a fixed width encoding. But I don’t think this is the case.

About verbosity: you needed to define classes for so many things. Eg you want others to hook into processing in certain places. So you create a listener interface with some methods. And the provider needed to work with those, and the consum

I believe that Unicode has multiple representations for Latin characters with diacritics: ä can be represented as a single character, but it can also be represented as two characters, “a”, plus “add two dots to the previous character”. You

Uncle Bob works for a consultancy. And I guess it’s easier for them to get funding to reimplement something (then it’s greenfield) than to maintain some existing piece of software.

I find that Lazygit provides a nice UI for staging, too: You can state an entire file or just lines(!) from a file. I wish it allowed me to stage a hunk, too. But I make do with staging all lines from that hunk. It is not a lot more effor

But making a separate commit for the minor fix is onerous once your working copy has accumulated other changes. That's what the OP says -- you have to use "git add -p" and that is onerous.

I reported a bug to a neighboring team. They responded to try again and they would revert back tomorrow. So I asked whether they had applied a quick fix and they would undo the fix tomorrow? So then I learned a new meaning of revert that is

I see. Thanks! Quite a few pitfalls there, though. If I was doing computer graphics often, the geometry wouldn't be a problem I guess. But I've not done any such thing in decades. If the job needs the geometry, then it might be

So the benefit to the employer is that they can let the people go when no longer needed. The benefit to the employer is that they might be able to secure a permanent job. It looks lop sided to me.

Don't forget that the notice period applies to all companies and all employees. So the whole culture expects that, and works with the long lead times.

They are saying that they need to run Docker precisely because they need different package versions. Given that Docker is required, Linux is attractive because then you can run Docker without running a Linux VM.

You can ask IntelliJ to analyze your code and then it will tell you the places where a method could be static, for example. As far as I know the Java compiler doesn’t warn about this. So building the project will not tell you. Eclipse has a
