This is in response to people saying that PDFs do meet that requirement. I say they don't.

No pub is based on HTML and is viewable on different devices which must look different. So will not meet that requirement. I think annotations also are not part of ePub they need to be part of a specification that build on epub. epub is the

So in this case the two parties both need to be registered with the app and then can exchange money that they easily know e.g. the phone number. The phone number is an id into the bilk system. With bank transfers both parties do not need to

Ah documents are HTML. CSS is what you the reader apply (OK most CSS is supplied by the publisher but you can overwrite it) Javascript is not part of any document, and PDF does not have the equivalent - Printed pages don't change.

You can easily implement a HTML reader that extracts the text and images to make the information understandable, agreed it will not look pretty. The difference is what matters - The information or the look of the document. HTML lets you ge

But to read something e.g. a manual it should render differently on a phone or a big screen they are different sizes. If it renders the same then it is not fit for purpose that is reading on a screen. There are reasons to use pdf if the doc

This is the benefit of HTML. The reader can alter its format e.g. change font and the result still works. (agreed that it needs to be decent HTML - but plain HTML works it is some of the complexities that make this not work and I consider t

epub is just a collection html pages and included images etc compressed by zip. So the limitation is the limits of zip.

Unfortunately current LLMs also produce false code. Possibly because they do not have enough correct documentation to build models from.

In the UK I can use my bank's app/website to send money to another person's bank account. What do these 'sending money to people' systems do more than that?
494.
by pasc1878 3y ago
In the UK and I thought in most of the EU you can just use your Bank's app to send money into someone else's bank account. So not replacing MasterCard/Visa especially as that requires a lot to be able to accept payments.

The author might just have copied that sed expression form someone else. Or looked it up once and probably now forgotten it. Also regex expressions are not vi expresions and have wider applications so author might use them regularly. So not

Part of the issue would be that the nooks are translations and the copywriter data would be from the translation date. So modern versions of e.g. the Bible could not be in Standard Ebooks. So easiest to not carry any translations. Bookshops

VB6 could do more than access. I used both in the day and I found Access basic was limited and once you had some tools in VB6 to deal with databases and tables then it was easier than access. However this is so long ago I have forgotten the

No the error is the users/management Clearcase and Java just don't work together using winking etc. So the users should use something else. Clearcase assumptions still worked for C/C++. Clearcase could also act in the way svn

In this case the stupid tool is Java. What clear case did was correct for C/C++ and possibly Pascal and Ada and run by makefiles. Clearcase would spot which header files were used in your code and only recompiled if you changed those h
