Note that you've been able to use custom collections to get extra extensions on FF-for-Android for a while provided you put the browser into developer mode first. It's a pain in the arse and certainly doesn't count as 'r

They appear to be aware that the ecosystem is important and providers have remained under an OSS license (at least as of this change). So without defending the change they -have- made, that doesn't seem like where you're going to

Being able to tear through the source code of something to figure out why it's doing what it's doing is valuable even if you never make changes. I worked for a company a lot of years ago that had BSDi licenses for some of it serve

$lhs ~~ $rhs is mostly sugar for $rhs.ACCEPTS($lhs) and then method resolution (including multimethod handling, of course) figures out which ACCEPTS method to call and that does ... whatever the author of the type impleme

The "so you don't die" is both black humour and a reference to it being things you might be willing/able to both assemble and eat while exhausted, depressed or otherwise impaired. I've had days when I can't get

Once phones got relatively big (i.e. 'phablet' ceased to exist as a concept because that size was just 'phone' now) I switched to using a 7/8" tablet with my SIM in it as my primary portable device (Nexus 7 and

Old ideas that were good but didn't become common/standard are something I run across a fair bit in papers and yeah, they're often way behind the state of the art but also a lot easier for me to understand/implement and

For computer science, https://blog.acolyer.org/ is called The Morning Paper and talks about one interesting paper per post. Edit: It seems to've gone on indefinite hiatus but there's a lot of backlog already there

I suspect the article is written primarily to be clear to people sufficiently immersed in the relevant areas to be able to have a concrete opinion on the theory. Also I strongly suspect that at least in the case of -me-, an article that was

I suspect they mean original Angular (i.e. AngularJS) rather than the reboot just called Angular. Certainly AngularJS was more contemporary with Backbone and was actually both relatively pleasant to use in its era and long outpaced now.

It almost certainly means that (some part of) the government delivered a polite but mildly menacing "what the fuck?" message and Etsy sent somebody with a suitably fancy sounding title over to reassure them.

Most games, when I come back to them after years, I restart with a fresh save file. Usually you can power through quite a lot of it at a reasonable speed, and the bits you can't are the bits you needed to brush up on anyway.

US law uses 'speech' that way. 'Expression' would arguably be a better word for it, but the term of art is what it is.

I agree with putting it at the top, but leaving the mistake there but marked as being a mistake is useful in case somebody else accidentally makes the same mistake later.

I've had to referee disagreements between East Coast USians and Germans a few times before now, mostly in terms of acting as a protocol translation layer until they were both sufficiently calmed down to underail themselves and focus on

I believe that's a nasty implementation detail of Oracle and not a problem for anybody using anything else. A generated UUID, if possible, is probably much more clear because it will only be there if it was inserted very deliberately.

It would, however, be nice if there was a tool (or, as jvns proposes, a +human option to dig) that provided output oriented to somebody who's just trying to -use- the thing rather than reading the RFC first. (I'm very much a &quot

I liked jvns' suggestion to add a +human option - plenty of tools have a -h output option which is nicer for quick interactive use, and I value their existence (e.g. I use both 'du -h' and 'du -k' semi regularly dep

If you're using twitter web, the Control Panel for Twitter browser extension takes the 'for you' abomination behind the back of the barn and gives it both barrels. (there's also a userscript version IIRC)

I am aware there are existing tools that handle encryption. The tarsnap architecture still does more things. You're welcome to feel that you don't need those things, but that wasn't my point.

Your comments seem to me to be about how long it took to bring up a new system. Without agreeing or disagreeing with those, "I'm not going to trust the filesystem on the existing machine" was the choice I was talking about.

Roughly: The number of hours of my time that would be required to get something with even theoretically equivalent features would be sufficient to make the cost - and opportunity cost - involved seem far more reasonable. Plus "written

There are multiple comments in the post-mortem about what should - in hindsight - have been done instead and I think it's fair to expect that those things -will- get done reasonably soon. Pretty much all ops problems come down to the i
