As a younger developer, I agree with you. I've heard of Subversion & Fossil before but know practically nothing about them. By the time I hit the stage of learning version control in my development as a programmer, there was no que

I never knew Excel localized function names. If I have an xlsx that uses a German-localized function like SUMME, will it error out when ran on an English-localized machine? Since they can localize function names, effectively mapping (presum

This is the exact kind of tool I would have loved to have had during my math undergrad. And as a fellow developer, I applaud you for taking on the challenge of working with PDFs, especially in non-trivial ways, on arbitrary PDFs no-less. An

So it just comes down to bot software not being compatible with HTTP 2.0 rather than any sort of HTTP 2.0 specific mechanism/feature?

I see what you're saying and mostly agree. I should have worded my original comment better and to be careful with "awareness". I think the degree to which people understand, perceive, and struggle with their existentiality is

by jmt_ 4y ago
I'm not very familiar with all the workings of HTTP/2.0 - why would it break bots? Assuming no CloudFlare type protection, does it somehow stop someone from using curl to get (non-JS generated) content? Does it thwart someone acce

I use the phrase "God hole", introduced by TV show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, to refer to the phenomenon mentioned in the article. If you're familiar with the show it may seem crass to use that phrase to generali

Amusing that a PDF discussing pretty printing is typeset like this. I've noticed this across many PDFs in the past - anyone know what causes it?

Is there a good open-source example of this paradigm? I'm interested by the idea but struggling a bit to see how it would actually be implemented for something like, say, a regular REST/JSON API.

I immediately close out of the changelog page after an update. I have no idea what's been added to VSC in the past 5 years.

Totally agree with both of you. I don't see this issue in terms of "attention span" per se, rather we now have an ever-present device that most often contains software engineered to grab as much of our attention as it possibl

by jmt_ 4y ago
Maybe. But severe/cystic acne and the like are rarely solved so simply by dietary intervention. If the acne was so bad as to warrant an Accutane prescription, then my guess is that diet would not have helped much. Accutane can take a l

I believe this is a common issue with automated copyright detection systems. Companies don't seem to care much as the grief caused by a false positive is almost completely offloaded to the user.

Factories that are behind on automation cannot simply build & develop the machines you're describing in a short amount of time. It's not nearly as simple as "oh, just make a robot to do it. duh". Maybe some companies

Not until we have returned to early 2019 levels of inflation should the Feds ease their funds rate increase plans in my opinion. Why lengthen this process if we don't have to?

Agree, I typed up something similar (but less detailed) as a reference during my undergrad stats major. I'd expect a cookbook to have worked out examples of applications of these topics. But still looks very useful as a reference

Take various data collection analysis tasks as an example - there's many cases where you may not have a good idea of how everything fits together until you can run queries on the data, with JSON being a very common format. You many may

For those that have integrated something like htmx/server side rendered HTML over an API into existing JSON-oriented APIs - what's the cleanest way you've found to have both formats exist together? Not that every existing API

A lot of people "learn how to drink" in college, often through trial and fire. Many of us have a few stories of getting too drunk in our early 20's and learning those consequences the "hard way". Considering how lik

GP has a very valid point. We've all seen college students too drunk. Too much alcohol could easily be consumed at, say, a party, leading to someone sexually assaulting the drunk individual. Yes, GHB will "knock out" someone
