Outside of a math class the latter is never what anyone means. Your manager won't frame an annual raise as "104% pay". Just to say, it's odd how often people trip themselves up on this!

Of course I'm assuming useful tests, why wouldn't I? Note I don't claim tests completely solve all productivity or onboarding problems. It's just odd to claim it's somehow ~unclear that automated tests aren't g

This is oddly infuriating. Such cool content, using the web medium in a novel way, yet they purposefully make it transient? Only way it makes sense is they plan to offer a paid service where you can view a catalog of work. But the site is l

It's so obviously self evident that automated tests improve productivity, especially for developers new to a codebase. A developer makes a non trivial change. How do they know nothing broke? If there are no tests, they must spend an in

Content from that subreddit has gotten a ton of play on social media in recent months. It does seem the most viral stories from the subreddit are embellished, but I can't pinpoint why they seem that way.

Sure. Was only debunking the false premise that it needs to be secret, which the article highlights as why it's a really bad idea.

That wasn't behind a flag. Really, I'd call that a prank, which is bad taste in software, not an Easter egg.

Kind of an aside, but there are banks that reimburse withdrawal fees. Schwab is one.

An Easter egg doesn't need to be an undocumented secret thing. Put something silly behind a flag and document the flag in the manual, and it's still a goofy Easter egg.

Perhaps they missed whatever point you were making, but your comment is largely offtopic.

Works great on my Android phone in Chrome. Oddly there's a message on startup saying WebGL won't work on mobile. EDIT ah, it's unity's fault apparently. According to caniuse WebGL is golden for all mobile browsers. They

I mean the CLI flag. I suppose it's called a switch. And yes, it does support extensions if you do --headless=chrome

What actually works: take a snapshot of the element via the Elements panel.

And if they don't, then what?

by hoten 5y ago
Recently a `--headless=chrome` flag was added to run headless mode using actual chrome browser code, which means extensions are now supported!

What would the throughput be on something like that?

Awesome! A feature suggestion, if I may. It's fun to play with the rules of the game itself. Would you consider adding a way to tweak the birth/death rules? For example, "B3/S23" denotes the normal rules of the game

Without a hash you just simply trust the issuer unconditionally? And you prefer this trust over a cryptographic guarantee the content, and thus the meaning, of the NFT won't change? This whole NFT really is inscrutable.

Wait, is this not how it works? Seemed like a safe assumption...

The article mentions they hold back on SVG a bit, but with these engine changes I assume they won't have to.

by hoten 5y ago
Could you explain how this is different from SVG?

(Off topic, sorry) Are you Jonanin from the old Xgen forums? If so, random thanks for giving this random kid free web hosting back in the day! If you happen to be around the SF bay area, it'd be my pleasure to buy you a drink sometime.

The border box is just a visual aid. The real issue is with placement, ex: centering vertically. If you don't know the exact text bounds you will have off center text.

Although npm supports lifecycle methods that run before publish / on install, many packages fail to use those correctly (or at all) yet still require a build step, so using the GH repo directly very often does not work.

I started working on this exact problem a few years ago. Didn't get far, though, I think I stopped because I assumed there just wouldn't be any real interest.

There's literally nothing to respond to. There's no sensitive information exposed by this API...or any information, for that matter.
