Basically lifted straight from https://mywiki.wooledge.org/XyProblem . GreyCat's wiki is the best Bash resource in existence, but the first example is pretty typical for the IRC channel. There's really no reason to

The real world is far too complex to reject an idea outright simply because the way it's presented checks a logical fallacy box. Unless the person presenting it to you has some ulterior motive please consider that they are taking the

It's a clear sign that we're learning as a community, and that open source really does enable innovation[0]. Someone builds Useful System iteration 1, we all learn what part of it works and doesn't, and someone builds iterati

Yeah, just because we want everyone to be created equal doesn't mean that they are. Some people will always be furious when research doesn't match what they believe, but we ignore/suppress/demonize it at our peril. On th

Do you have a good example of schematics? There's nothing quite like real-life good design (think Tufte), and far too much space is given to how things are done wrong as opposed to how it has been done right.

That is only true as far as the site owner knows of and understands the consequences of their actions. I would be extremely surprised if more than 10% of their users understand this. Whether they care is a whole other matter, but this is ve

That is an excellent approach for new projects. On stable projects it's pretty common to have lots of little "special" bits where someone over-designed and created an unholy mess. (I'm guilty of this as well, of course.)

We pair programmed more than 90% at my last job, and it was great. Together we would typically come up with architecture, design, tests and names which were better than either of us would have done on our own. It is hard work, but very rewa

About time. Introducing a feature like this without a "Go away, and never come back!" button was a big UX fail IMO. On a related note, seems like desktop notifications would be a great venue for remote code exploits. Have there be

The main reason I want the original time zone is that converting to UTC means information loss. And compensating for that information loss is a PITA, because there is no separate time zone type, so now I have to store a bloody shambles of

On a related note, is anyone familiar with any decent online poker app which is not scummy? I'm OK with ads in this space, or a one-time payment, but not in-app purchase of chips - I played Pokerist for a week, and I'm pretty sure

It doesn't have to have any explicit formatting, it just needs to be rich text. If you try pasting anything from a web browser or WYSIWYG editor it will break.

I don't know about Matrix, but Riot, the default frontend, certainly isn't: https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/7062 Copy/paste is a pretty fundamental feature.

YAML is the bastard offspring of XML. A bunch of ways to write semantically identical stuff is bullshit. Let data files be data files, and build them using languages actually suited for the job. JSON is plenty complex for 105% of the use ca

I've found TDD to be a good (but not perfect, as some people complain) way to keep complexity down - when you force yourself to test every state you very quickly start focussing on how to keep the number of possible states down.

So they don't consider privacy beyond which host I contact, which is weird, because I'm pretty sure which version of packages I have is relevant to an attacker. And in case of a zero-day exploit it would be really handy not having

Weird. I was on IRC for many years before Stack Overflow (and crap alternatives like Experts Exchange, Yahoo! Answers, etc) existed, and I have pretty much the exact opposite experience. For example, while SO tags certainly have different d
