Not developers. This survey included mostly PhD students (73), faculty (49), but only 23 software engineers. The rest are others. Only 1/4 see software engineering as their main role according to the paper. A PhD student is very differ

I find the snippet on CRLF funny. Even Microsoft didn't like them! > In Opus paragraph marks are represented by two characters (carriage return-line feed) except for section marks which are only one character (chSect) and possibly o

Even then it's only a question of money, and you can keep local backups without having to fear it'll all be gone tomorrow.

If you want them all to have the same length, no. But even in practice this is not the case anymore, e.g. the most common encoding UTF-8 uses 8 bits for the ASCII characters and then 16/24/32 bits for the lesser used code points.

Not quite. If they're all equally likely, then yes you need 6 bits for 64, and 7 bits for 128 chars. But you can get that number down significantly if your characters are not all equally likely, then you don't need as many bits. T

I wonder how many game developers can say that of themselves nowadays!

Do you have the current postal mailing adresses of all of your friends? I certainly don't, so I'd have to call them or write them on social media first just to get the address.

Did Lenovo really manufacture them back in 1992? From what I gather they only started in 2005? Even then it's like saying iPhones manufactured by Foxconn are only badged by Apple. The original IBM Thinkpads all the way up to the T43 we

Very cool. One could do this over time, and then automatically find out where values change between different versions of the code. Might be able to find bugs before they ever occur.

To be fair, they could just be saying LinkedIn because it's easier than saying they bought the number from some shady middlemen, and people are less likely to react negatively to it. Unless you used a unique number only for LinkedIn,

Makes sense from a technical standpoint, but it's the legal people you'll need to convince.

While Singapore public transport is good and taxis are reliable, they also make it very expensive for people to own a car, and the total number is restricted. See here for numbers: https://dollarsandsense.sg/complete-guide-b

Is this still maintained? It's a really cool project, it's just so insanely fast. I once implemented a MariaDB storage engine that used RAMCloud for storage, and it was an eye-opening experience. With blazingly fast reads and writ

It does however struggle with no-left/right turn signs, at least in Zürich it seems to ignore them.

So basically what Gerrit offers as the "cherry-pick" submit type? You work on the master branch, then push commits as changesets to Gerrit. After review they are cherry-picked by the system onto the target (master) branch, in what

Agreed. But getting divs to do what you want has also gotten considerably easier in the last 10 years. It used to be a lot more work/boilerplate to get a consistent div-based layout across all browsers down to IE 6. As for the redesign

I had both the MDR-1000XM2 and the Bose QC25, and the QC25 actually feel more like underpressure. I don’t think feeling overpressure is inherent to noise cancelling. I suggest you try out the QC25/35 in a store and see if they feel dif

I bound hstr to CTRL-R ( https://github.com/dvorka/hstr ) and then just search the history for the keywords I need. Only rarely is a command not already stored in the history.

This looks great, and is still actively maintained on Github. It keeps your data locally, which is a hard requirement for any kind of company use. Uploading work activity to some third party is an absolute no-go for most companies. The appr

Ah, great! Too bad Google doesn’t seem to know about it. Searching for “rfc 2822” doesn’t find it and only shows me https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2822.txt

It’s super-annoying to read an RFC and not know about the newer updates or that it has been superseded altogether. And source code that mentions RFC 822 when it’s been superseded twice. Unfortunately the old RFCs are never updated with link
