Isn’t vague mixed evidence of a small, limited effect pretty much what you’d find if it it did basically nothing in aggregate?

If the goal of music is to induce an emotional or intellectual response in a person. Then only the listening person can decide if a response was induced and if that experience impacted them in a positive or negative way. It is the definitio

Lots of non Americans support the change too. Master was a terrible default name, switching it to a better name that’s also more inclusive language was a good idea. Where American politics infected things was the the reactionary response of

The dock can’t move to a jurisdiction that is less union friendly.

My problem with YAML is that even when you try to keep it simple it tries its best to trip you up with some obscure feature you never wanted to deal with

Ideally there would be an input type for this, month comes close to the correct UI on iOS but has lots of problems. I don’t think the calendar picker style will ever work well for entering birthdays and such, so yeah the answer is build you

That is called input assistance, confusing it with validation is the source of millions of security problems.

Using a calendar picker to input dates that users have memorised and are in the distant past is an awful experience. This is a pet peeve of mine.

Why were you using a calendar picker for a date of birth?

It’s so obvious in retrospect but I never considered they would do this! Thanks for sharing.

You can know something is not within your power to change and still find the fact of its existence deeply upsetting.

Lines in the air don’t need any additional insulation. Cables underground need to be insulated. Now imagine how much insulation you need from 400kv, multiplied by hundreds of miles of cable and imagine how expensive that is. Now consider wh

I’m fairly sure that farmers often buy seeds rather than harvesting them. There are lots of reasons for this but essentially growing seeds and growing produce is just quite different. I don’t think it’s the dramatic shift you’re making it o

The trick is to not treat it like a zero sum game and to realise that to live a middle class life in America/Europe is to live life of luxury that almost nobody in human history could ever have dreamed of.

I dunno who Casey Muratori is but I’ve followed the same principle for years! It’s a much better experience for the candidate and gives better signal provided the questioner can actually conduct a good interview and ask probing questions.

Yeah as an Irish person with an apostrophe in their name this attitude is why my name routinely gets mangled or I get told my name is invalid. You don’t escape input. You safely store it in the database and then sanitize it at the point whe

As someone who has dealt with more than my fair share of content injection vulnerabilities over the years this is great to see at last. It’s kinda crazy that this only coming now while other, more cumbersome solutions like CSP have been aro

In this case easier is actually better. Sanitize a string at the point where you are going to use it. The locality makes it easy to verify that sanitation has been done correctly for the context. The alternative means you have to maintain a

Sanitize as close as possible to where it is used is usually best, then you don’t have to keep track of what’s sanitized and what’s not sanitized for very long. (Especially important if sanitation is not idempotent!)

The point is that you need to track the person. The technology used is irrelevant.

If your website is a shop then being able to put things in a cart is pretty necessary no?

It was an EU mandate a few years back, I think every Tesla since about 2019 is Type2. I still have to deal with the occasional charger with a ChaDeMo port for old Nissan Leafs. I think those pioneers deserve some respect though!

My take is: running is sometimes bad for your knees, but being sedentary is pretty much always bad for just about everything else.

Teslas in Europe have Type2 connectors.

I don’t think they _needed_ to do that. They chose to do that. It’s been fairly successful in the short to medium term but the jury is still out on what happens if/when the market acknowledges that they are in fact just a car company.

The question seems really poorly formed! Like there’s never going to be a binary answer to a question like that. The answer is always going to be “it depends” on for example the volume, your physical attributes, recovery, genetics, age etc

Sleep deprivation and unending anxiety do weird things to people. Some people seem to genuinely go a bit crazy once they have kids.

My experience is that very few companies actually need those 9s. A company might say they need them, but if you dig in it turns out the impact on the business of dropping a 9 (or two) is far less than the cost of developing and maintaining
