I like using Elm's JSON library as an example because it's very small. Since there are only a handful of functions you can understand the entire thing pretty easily. Plus, encoding JSON is a great jump-off into the decoding half o

Pretty sure that's socialism. Communism is envisioned as a stateless society. Which is kind of what the internet is. There's standards bodies, but they don't really have any enforcement power. And ICANN, one of the few bodies

Last I tried you could reuse the same phone number to verify multiple accounts. There's just a cooldown period after each verification before the same number can be used again.

Interesting. I'd say the proper level of abstraction for the incoming JSON is some structure that can represent all valid JSON. Then you convert from that JSON thing into the form you expect - in this case a CreateTaskRequest (with int

If a field is an int and the incoming data has a string the parsing shouldn't succeed - instead it should give an error like "expected an int but saw a string". Maybe include the string it saw in the error. Add in the JSON p

What constitutes a failure in reliability for this type of software? The drone falling out of the sky? Flying off in some random direction for no visible reason?

I recall reading somewhere in a book about the very early days of software development that that was exactly how it worked. Programmers literally came with bits and pieces of the software they had previously written that they drew on during

The extra capacity was already there - speeds were artificially (right word?) suppressed because customers were on a cheaper plan.

For what it's worth I think that's way more exciting than being in charge. I was recently involved (not as a moderator) in a community that burned itself to the ground due almost entirely to poor communication and lack of discussi

Because we're programmers. Edit: In my head what I was trying to say was obvious. In hindsight it's not. The practice started because text interspersed with long urls is difficult to read. It's a good solution, so everyone st

That is the getting started page. It lists multiple ways to get started. One of them is simply including the pre-built preact library with a <script> tag. After that you can use h() to build elements - no build step required. I person

Any specific reason for S3 instead of Spaces given you’re on Digital Ocean already?

The larger parts on either end are primarily just heavy armor. They move along their length. Typically the end with the larger bulb is the front I believe, but many ships have equally sized bulbs. Propulsion is provided by gravity generator

In my (rather limited) experience most churches would be happy to have you even if you are only going specifically for the social bit. They, of course, hope to "convert" you. Many seem to take pride in never "giving up"

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your point then. I got from your posts roughly: It is unethical for end-user software to be closed source, everyone is fundamentally entitled to the source code for programs they run on their computer. Furthe

If two people, in full understanding of the value of source code, both decide for one to provide a proprietary closed-source software and the other to run it in exchange for money - is it still unethical?

Oops, typo. You're right. You could also write "e^tau*i = 1 + 0" to relate the "5 most important numbers in math" but that form always seemed a bit forced to me.

lol. I'm actually one of them. "e^tau*i=0" is my preferred form. I don't tend to bring it up because we're a little crazy and I don't want to draw attention to myself.
