Unfortunately people like you (and me), who actually have strong passwords, let alone who understand in any detail what constitutes a strong password, are a tiny minority. They have to design for the lowest common denominator. And even thos

Kids don't need their stars to pay the bills and make it to the next paycheck. (Replace stars with dollars and cents) grown-ups do!

DST exists because, politically, culturally, psychologically, it's easier to change time, than it is to change 9am - 5pm to 8am - 4pm.

At most places I've worked, there are no DBAs, and the devs are responsible for optimising all the SQL. On the occasion that there have been DBAs at the company I worked for, they always refused to help with any SQL, on the grounds tha

I migrated my photo collection to https://github.com/jpsim/AWSPics about a year ago, pretty happy with it (so much so that I ended up contributing a number of features and bug fixes back to it). Basically all you have

Amen! (To having free time pre kids). Waiting for mine (currently 4 years old) to be old enough to play any and all video games, at which point I hope to have a good excuse to start gaming again myself.

(author here) As I said in the article, I was hoping to find more data sets from around the world (five different ones would have been nice), but I really couldn't find anything else comparable to the Japanese cherry blossom records. Y

(author here) If you look into the academic papers published by Aono, you'll see that he goes into a fair bit of detail regarding both of those points: how he determined consistent historical peak bloom dates, and how he calculated con

(author here) No, we don't need humans to record something in writing. But the point I was trying to make, is that maybe there are climate change sceptics out there who will discard any and all evidence that wasn't recorded in wri

(author here) Thanks for the info about "urban heat island" warming, I actually hadn't ever heard that phrase before. It makes total sense. And yeah, even CNN is right, urbanisation is almost certainly just as big a factor as

I consider myself a decent regex-er, but, despite several attempts over the years (admittedly all in moments when I had an urgent problem to solve), I still don't get lookbehinds / lookaheads, and end up finding some way to do wit

Didn't you read the fine print? They said Windows 10 would be the last Windows ever with a version number less than or equal to 10. :P

Yes, that's the main reason why I added what I hope is that clear definition, to avoid confusion with the route in California. Pacific Highway is well-known and unambiguous to anyone living in Australia, it's one of the busiest lo

Amen. Also thanks Eric Carle for getting my kids to eat apples, pears, plums, strawberries, oranges, chocolate cake, ice-cream, pickles, Swiss cheese, salami, lollipops, cherry pie, sausage, cupcake, and watermelons (and nice green leaves)!

Yes, although (thinking personally, right now my kids are still little): before you have kids, you lack the audience and the experience; once your kids have grown out of picture books, you've lost the audience; and while you're br

Still not clear IMHO. What is "peers and neighbours"? Same country as me? Same age as me? Same gender as me? Same socio-economic group as me? If I take all that to one extreme, then I have zero peers and neighbours, because nobody

There I was, reading the intro blurb, thinking yay, we've finally built a holodeck. But alas, reading further down, just the same old flat screen, with slightly better spatial trickery than what we've already had for a while now.

Nice, I'll have to try it out - Swagger UI has always been a pain with various add-ons in Flask, and it looks like it's built-in and easy with FastAPI. Flask is still my go-to Python web framework. Ten years on, and I haven't
