This used to not be safe though, in the age of landlines. I forget the details, but most of the country was wired in a manner that both parties of a call had to hang up to end the connection. You might hang up, go find the official phone nu

Look up HATEOS. The initial endpoint will you give you the next set of resources - maybe the user list and then the post list. Then as you navigate to say, the post list, it will have embedded pagination links. Once you have resource urls f

Yes, I thought it was an interesting blend of past and present. If this were a scene in a show or movie it could be edited beautifully - the reader, sitting alone in a corner, looks up and in a lucid, almost psychedelic way, the past comes

I got online in about 98 and had many many friends in online games or on AIM / AOL and it took until many years, maybe even a decade, after FB for me to even discover what some of these people looked like. The standard "ASL?"

Sibling comment mentioned Zelda but really this reminds me of the Zelda Randomizers. Fixed set of items in a fixed set of locations. Certain locations need certain items to access. So therefore randomize which items are in which rooms while

I have this issue with TV and movies too. I have so many shows I want to finish but when I try I have no clue who anyone is or what’s going on. I either watch a recap or just give up instead of restarting. Got any examples of a game doing r

Sometimes people are just wrong. There doesn’t have to be an ill intent behind it. Educate and move on. What else can you do?

Sometimes people are just incorrect and no ill intent.

You’re thinking of it wrong. This works better: auto uasStudents = getClassList() In this case, “uas” prefix standing for an unsafe array of strings. Then say you validate the list auto sasStudents = validate(uasStudents) (Now it’s a safe a

There is a flame war preventer that disables replies for a short time depending on frequency and how deep the thread is. Wait a bit or find the post via another UI and it’s usually possible to reply.

The request was to “consider people you normally wouldn’t for this role” I normally wouldn’t consider a 14y/o for a senior position. I wouldn’t consider a child to run our armed forces either. It is you who put women and other minoriti

The idea being the user(s) would then have to share a email inbox to share logins, not just a password. It might not be the most inconvenient - this is partly how Netflix did their "Household" lockdown. You can request a travel co

I might receive a magic link on my phone but then sometimes I'll copy/paste that over to my desktop or another device. This works on 99% of magic links I've tried except for cases when they are trying to prevent account shari

Fck is just as strong as fuck, not sure how that could be confused at all.

1) Do you honestly think they would add "fuck" to a blocklist but then turn a blind-eye to "fck"? Basic profanity filters on old forum software were more strict. 2) I find it completely inane that you are willing to self

This example was doomed from the start because of this fact. A lot of the US south uses the generic "coke."* It is not uncommon for this conversation to play out: "Can I get a coke?" "Sure, which kind?" "A

It’s self-censorship, some of which I find extremely weird and cringe. Go on Twitter and you will see people self-censor the normal swear words too. Shit becomes “sht”, fuck becomes “fck” Very dystopian.

Any time anything like this comes up I think back to a documentary on sponges and how they can have multiple individuals in one body, or one individual taking on multiple bodies. Maybe I am wrong, but this has always fascinated me in terms
