There is another way of looking at this, in the context of the parent post: we could suggest that any accent could be converted to “no accent” where American accents are converted to British, or where standard Japanese is converted to a Nag

The “YAGNI” principle is something I’ve had to learn the hard way - and continue to learn it, just earlier this week, in fact. YAGNI and DRY are sometimes in vicious opposition. A pro tip I picked up from Gary Bernhardt’s Destroy All Softwa

The methods that start with “call_” and “find_” are particularly redundant, because they aren’t any simpler than the code they contain. Technically true of all the methods given but the rest could be excused as explaining less readable synt

You could use BLE to signal the incoming call or switching tracks or queuing up a new track. Likewise I’d love it if re-encoding the AAC from the player weren’t a necessary step when there isn’t additional audio. But then I suppose they wou

Right now, Safari being the only game in town on iOS is basically the only reason why websites don’t exclude non-Chrome browsers already. Now if Apple ever supported this in a way that broke or deprecated adblocking, I’d probably seriously

As a matter of principle, those in bandwidth-constrained situations should be browsing via proxies or browsers that automatically compress, such as Opera Mobile back in the day, or Google’s more modern compression baked in to Android/C

The Stanford Prison Experiment reveals a lot about decent people being easily manipulated - and by that I mean the whole thing has since been revealed as fraudulent: https://www.vox.com/2018/6/13/17449118&#x2F

If Adobe or Serif announced Linux support, I’d switch in a heartbeat. I was about to add DaVinci Resolve to that list, but they actually released official Linux support, so I can cross some video editing off my list. And one presumes all we

As a tourist, though, a pro tip is that big banks in Germany charge for deposits, not withdrawals, so if you happen to have a debit Mastercard with no exchange fees (e.g. in Canada, EQ Bank or WealthSimple), you can use your Mastercard at a

Sorry if it came across that way, everyone’s needs are different. As far as I know both Mac and Windows have preferences to make scrollbars permanent and/or giant, though not every app is as accessible, and webpages can, of course, do

Seconding the comment above, I think "Loop" might actually be a technical term and something like "for each (whatever)" or "do X times" might be easier to follow. As programmers we know things like while loops
