Off topic: I'm reminded of "Nero Burning ROM," the CD burning software. Clever name, that.

What should the M.O. of an archive be, then? Paid access? That would be an even worse offense! Zero access except for the person who created the archive? That makes no sense either. The archivist needs to vet potential accessors for certain

Does the fact that .io is a ccTLD (despite not actually being used primarily for internal BIOT purposes) offer any counterpoint to that argument?

I guess I was thinking that automation wasn't actually stated/implied at all (the recipient is merely assuming, because most business these days happens to be automated), not that anyone would lie. "They'll assume"

I assume that mainly comes down to attractions like ski resorts (an activity that thrives on altitude and money) pulling in rich tourists and, more recently than this study, remote employees. Curious to hear other contributing factors for m

If a landscaper quotes you a price to tend to your lawn and you accept the offer, would you feel defrauded to see him using a pair of scissors merely because other landscapers use gas-powered mowers, despite getting a beautiful result? His

"PC refers to a non-Apple x86 machine" then :)

Ah, interesting. I wonder why everyone doesn't do that instead of poor attempts at validation.

Speaking of email validation, recently I've come across email inputs that reject addresses that would definitely match even the most restrictive pattern you can imagine (Latin letters and Arabic numerals @gmail.com) but which I created

Ideally it would just ask for each actual need. If the system needs to render something brief for a salutation, something verbose for a certificate of achievement, and something suitable for sorting purposes, then it could just ask the user

Not a bad idea. Form builders and the like increasingly do offer fancy string data types (like "Link" for example, which captures the desired link text and URL as a tuple, and sometimes even more detail than that), so it does seem

As mentioned at the tail end of TFA: 3. A string that will never be displayed, but will result in proper sorting. It's not simply a concatenation of all name parts, though. Omitting spaces and punctuation is also critical for a nice so

The whole "Mac versus PC" thing somewhat solidified the notion that PC refers to x86. Raspberry Pi uses ARM.

It's quite reminiscent of the tolerance paradox, at least.

Similarly, when drafting some sort of communication (email, documentation, etc.) one might have a URL as the last "word" of a sentence (or comma-delimited clause, etc.) and apply typical rules of grammar that say not to use a spac

> the possibility of dubious outputs is inherent in the tool To be fair, the same could be said even after replacing the tool with a human whose only training in life has been how to create this type of writing. But human-written recipes

If someone releases only a minified version of their code, and licenses it as free as can be, is it open source?

I was thinking transfer speed, although even then, the difference is probably negligible if compressing regardless.

I suppose the difference is that someone debugging at that level will be offered some sort of "dump" command or similar, whereas someone debugging in a browser is offered a "View Source" command. It's just a matter

Not being a Mullvad user myself, I wasn't sure if people tend to use a Mullvad client or a generic VPN stack built into their OS, but the Mullvad client could simply display news like this to the former set of users leaving only the la

All opt-out flows begin with the user opting into using the parent thing in the first place. That doesn't really make the child thing opt-in, in any useful sense.

It's always awesome seeing your comments about VW stuff. I've been using VCDS over 10 years now with nothing but various trims of Golfs for even longer than that. Luckily my Mk7 R came with all the FECs I'd ever want, stock!

By the time I got around to booting "backup" discs in that system, it could be done just with a dongle (like a GameShark type thing, maybe? Can't remember) although unlike a soldered-in mod chip, it required booting with any

Awesome app! I don't know exact steps to reproduce, but I was just alternating between selecting a language and starting a conversation a few times, and at one point the conversation box filled up with the prompt: > You: You are a h

That says "This incident has been resolved. Aug 2, 21:23 UTC" which was 4 minutes ago, but for me reddit continues to be intermittent.

For a given wattage, voltage and current can be adjusted (inversely proportional) within reason, but higher current with lower voltage results in some problems: voltage drop (which mostly only matters at long distances, typically negligible

Correct, this particular diphthong and the substitution of "an" for "a" serve the same exact function, so having both would be redundant. If we were to look at a word that starts with u but doesn't have the diphthon

I think unity is just a typo for unit, not that that changes this discussion.
