At least you admit now that it actually is breaking the law.

It's not illegal to pay for it with a physical check; it's illegal (unless your original agreement automatically terminated after a year) to not then pay for the automatic renewal at the end of the year.

Is this legal? I assume if they wanted to (which admittedly is unlikely) they could send you to collections for not paying for the renewal that you agreed to when you subscribed.

To expand upon this a little, it's worth noting that the book and the code are licensed separately and differently.

This is not quite right... First off I think you want "regsub -all ...". Second, since your regsub isn't really replacing newlines (except the first), the example isn't so good - your "set foo ..." works withou

You should really spend a little time learning ansible before you critique it. Ansible isn't perfect, but the things you describe aren't how ansible works in general, so they aren't even valid criticism. For example, it has i

The hard stateful parts should be your data layer (replicated db, etc) and everything else should be cached stateless data. IAC for the stateful layer is tough but contained. IAC for the rest should be fairly recreatable quite quickly.

In some programs (compilers included), removing the limits and relying on detecting OOM is not a bad design decision. In others (most notably network-facing programs, but there are other categories), it can be quite a big problem to not hav

It's mostly based on manipulating lists. Scoping is a bit odd, but if you squint, the fact that unevaluated lists are passed into functions where they can be manipulated (by normal tcl list functions) and then evaluated in the caller&#

Hey, I'm just trying to explain what your comments look like to someone not involved in the original conversation, since I agreed with the statement that you objected to. Not sure where this passive aggressive defensiveness is coming f

An argument assumes if it doesn't back up the assertion with reasoning. For an argument to state, it needs more; as written, it wasn't really an argument to begin with. It was just a theoretical supposition.

I don't see anything in dragonwriter's response that attacks you and not your argument. Perhaps you just disagree with the phrasing, but to me, "you assume" in this context is short for "you assume in your argument&

> I am not assuming that Well you did say: "this may be the nerd's way of immortalizing their sweetheart", which seems to me to strongly imply that your impression may be closer to assuming it than to not assuming it. I ha

This line of reasoning works adequately when looking at a single program, but when you look at a larger group of programs, performance still matters. The more performant each individual program, the more programs can be run simultaneously.

Seems like using Box solves this issue fairly simply.

Can you post a simple code example? It is hard to imagine what the difficulty is.

You can't make new rare elements out of thin air though.

While offline first seems to be discussed in the context of web apps a lot, to me it is more about the data and synchronization than where the executable lives, and most of the ideas also apply to certain kinds of desktop software.

This (this specific news as well as crypto in general) still feels like externalizing a fairly important cost - the energy usage required to keep this world-wide distributed ledger going. Change my mind?

It affects things like refinancing, pmi removal, and helocs as well when appraisals come in lower.

I think you misunderstood the parent comment. Even with a fixed interest rate, you still owe the entirety of your borrowed amount on the $1m purchase to the lender, but your property value may drop if the interest rates go up because, assum

Seems like exception handling and exception safety would be quite tough to achieve if you are just sprinkling STL throughout a mostly C codebase, no?

I think op meant covering a man page for a command into a gui for the command, not into a gui for the man page.

True, I also type this in from memory whenever I need a quick TOTP calculation.

Sure, for two different definitions of "doing things". But the existence of different definitions is precisely the point. Unless you are claiming that cutting someone's paper is equal to cutting their skin?

The opposite is more dangerous. If you include the explicit cast and for some reason malloc was not declared (you forgot an include for example) then the implicit int return type that the compiler assumed will cause UB at runtime after you

Money isn't everything though. I've passed up many higher-paying cookie-cutter jobs for lower-paying but more-fulfilling and interesting problem-solving jobs. Of course, web development can be interesting and problem-solving for s
