“Even” or “odd” number isn’t as applicable as it sounds, though I do remember if you were an “s” year or not. It was iPhone 3G, 3G S, 4, 4S, 5, 5S, 6, 6S, 7, 8/X, XS, 11, and standard annual numbering from the 11 on. In early days you’

I should preface this by saying that I figure you know all this, but I'm laying it out anyway. :) Theoretically (I haven't read the parent article yet) it's just GET and HEAD requests for a Docker Registry[1], so if CloudFlar

I would hesitate before installing any extension that wants access to GitHub, especially if it auto-updates. I know, IDE extensions are even better methods of attack and we often don't think twice about auto-updating those, but still.

It’s like cheap Canadian cellphone or internet plans - you have to wait until a news org offers a deal, then sign up for it. Managed to get cheap NYT and WSJ subs from it. You have to cancel when the price goes up and then accept the offer

It’s enabled by default on a select number of laptops they sell, and no one else has access to it yet. But they plan to roll it out further. I’d personally hoped for some kind of “Secure Enclave” such that only certain processes could be ru

OverDrive is a strong player but they’re still a commodity. Publishers and libraries can use other lending platforms if and when they emerge as stronger competitors. This article serves as a good overview: https://openeducational

Could be missed if there was a mix of typed by hand and auto-inserted by IDE headers, plus maybe a setting that collapses (folds) imports by default... and clang-format wasn't run on save? ;-)

Not just that but when ISBNs were first introduced, it was common thought that they were used for cash register price scanning rather than computer-controlled inventory, so a number of early books had ISBNs re-used by publishers and it wasn

Yeah, I’ve never really heard of “weak etags” before in any sort of common usage of the term. Honestly, most people tend to skip etags by embedding hashes in filenames directly, this way you can avoid any bad proxies serving up stale conten

I could probably write one pretty quick, under the assumption that we are storing only JS-compatible JSON with no encoding hiccups (JSON sadly isn’t as standard as it appears at first glance…) just hash(JSON.stringify(JSON.parse(fileText)))

One more example, if your request contains a batch of operations, you generally have to return 200, or maybe 204, if it was successfully received and should not be retried in full. In the response body, you might give other response codes f

That’s the “Preview pane” in explorer. It only supports the file types you could preview in explorer, it only “opens” the file currently selected in Explorer, and didn’t let you zoom in or inspect the image in any way that I recall. It was

Good point. And I should clarify, I’m not a filmmaker and mostly edit screen recordings and home movies. For that, I find that Resolve and Final Cut Pro work equally well and equally poorly. There’s a lot of room in video editing for furthe

I’m less convinced. The text features and even how frames resize images were either annoying or lacking when I last used Publisher. Yes, I used it, and yes, it worked. But it’s no contest that in the details, InDesign has more features that
