It's been around in some form in most major browsers for decades. I remember Creating custom search entries in Firefox (or was it Phoenix still at that point?) in the early 2000's.

Yeah, my initial thought when someone said people don't mount newspapers was that yes, they do, even if not always in a personal or home context. It's exactly the type of thing you might see at certain bars, and there's no s

The thing that I think sometimes gets lost when people are talking about the strengths and weaknesses of regular expression use, is that it can matter quite a bit what the language in question is like. If you're using a language that

I agree, and I try not to message people on their time off, but if I felt it was important for some reason (for example, maybe if I'm not going to be around on that day which is the only reason I can remember doing it), I'd make s

Not quite. My position is that nepotism is bad but I think while we can reduce it I think it's impossible to eliminate based on human nature, but maybe we can use that to the benefit of society. Rather than make ineffective one of th

I'm not sure you've identified a cause instead of a symptom. If Harvard stopped accepting legacy admissions and donors and elites as much, would that mean that the other people would get those political and judicial appointments,

I'd be more interested in what the numbers look like after they've accounted for admissions I would call "extra-academic". If they want to reserve 50% of their admissions for specific reasons, I'm fine with that.

Yes, where there's a large power imbalance, you have to take that into consideration. I manage people, and if I message one in their off time and it's not an emergency or something I really need them to answer if they see, I'

You provide two reviews, the article provides many more, along with 8 that they decided did not meet their standards, but they linked them anyway. In comparing reviews of reviews of medical papers, I find myself more swayed by the article.

Not that I necessarily think it's best to stay with Postman, but have you looked at newman, which is the CLI runner for postman configs? We had postman as a test suite for something (which is more an API than an app), and I got tired

That sounds like it's equating Utah's taxing to total U.S. road funding, to which I say both "duh" about the result and "that can't be all that's going on in the report if it's about Utah, so there mu

I'd be interested in seeing the numbers, and how they slice it up (whether they're completely treating federal roads separately or using it for the total, etc), as at $0.364 per gallon in Utah, it seems like it results in a large

It gives consistency for those that use RHEL and derivatives outside containers, allows easy use of enterprise software aimed at that distro, and it allows tying into registries such as quay.io that will give you notes about when and what a

As a sibling noted, people do that. But disk space is cheap, and you aren't really losing much other than disk space for unused portions of the OS that are in a container, but what you gain is a normalized environment that's easy
