Very cool. Node has been on my back burner to learn for years, but making the mental leap from tutorial-sized projects to anything more complex has been particularly difficult. Perhaps this will help!

Nice spot, but the lines are always so long. Fortunately you always know how long you have to wait.

So... don't do that? You're correct, it's possible to write blisteringly awful code in PHP. Ditto every other programming language ever.

While there are isolated use cases for returning multiple values (quotient/remainder being a good example), all of the real-world cases I've seen where the author tried have been a serious code smell, a missed warning that the enc

*Black people. Didn't spot my typo until after the edit event horizon, but it seemed like an important correction to make.

Looks promising! I'm looking forward to giving it a try. My problem with Roll20 and Astral isn't that they don't have enough features, it's that they have lots of features and really want me to use them, when all I want

Interesting point. I wonder if this is part of the disproportionately high impact of COVID on Black in the US.

Thank you for the link. It seems like there were a few sessions there that could have been interesting to me. I'll keep an eye out this year as well.

Or Apple's did. Do you really think they're passing the savings on to the customer?

I don't see a schedule, just a landing page for a conference taking place in three days. Could be fun to check out, but I'm a complete newbie. I have no idea (or apparently way of knowing) if there will be any sessions of interest

This was Justin Trudeau. That's how far behind Canada is. Not sure what you mean by "killing the aerospace sector", but it's very off topic, which is why you're getting downvoted. If you're referring to cancell

Yes, CBP should be (is?) required to have a warrant. The crazy part is that, if the law were being respected, there would be a higher standard of behaviour for a government agency than for private companies. Dragnet surveillance is wrong an

Indeed. I wasn't aware of that specific git option, but a build pipeline with a checkout step taking FORTY MINUTES is unacceptable. Plenty of ways to solve that problem, but it's a problem that never should have made it into a cri

Much of the US is decades ahead of Canada in that regard too. (New York City being a notable exception.) We were supposed to have our own law equivalent to the Americans with Disabilities Act or what you describe, until Prime Minister Trude

No question, just thank you! As I'm sure you know, the stress of not knowing if you'll be able to get in the front door of a restaurant or to get to the bathroom until you've already arrived is substantial - and everpresent.

I'm not sure if I love or hate the prospect of future archaeologists finding this and trying to figure out what role it played in our society. "We're referring to it as the 'ball court', though it could also have ha

This will be remembered as a dark age of humanity. Anything built or released in the early 21st century will simply become meaningless bytes to future generations.

Truly. Also, if your device depends on a cloud service to function, you must open-source the service if you choose to EOL it.

Why?

Right, but 10,000 requests in a quarter is 833 per week. 2/833 is 0.24%, or 99.76% uptime that week.

This is vital if we are to move past coronavirus. It took longer than it should have to make this available, but everyone has a responsibility to install the app for their specific country. (The privacy solution is very clever. The most com

"For example, an availability level of 99.9% equates to an error budget of 0.01% unsuccessful requests. 0.002% of failing requests in a week would consume 20% of the error budget, and leave 80% for the quarter." I... what?

In (weak) defense of Intercom, it's nice when used correctly. For instance, if we're experiencing a service outage, we can send a notice to all active users with that service enabled. But there are limited use cases where it'

I took a 20% salary cut. All other benefits remained the same. It's not a formal policy at my company, but I was able to negotiate a reduced schedule during my annual salary review. I don't know that I did anything clever in the n

Our main causes are environment, poverty and homelessness, and disability. Most of our charities are local, such as each of the major homeless shelters in our city. Medicins Sans Frontières and Sierra Club are our two international-level ch

My wife and I both work, but our lifestyle does not require two incomes. So we've tried to find trustworthy charities to entrust my salary to. It's harder than it sounds, and we're only about 60% of the way there, but it has
