When using `set -eu`, how do you check the number of arguments?: if [ -z "$1" ]; then usage(); exit 1; fi; If I'm using `set -eu`, that dies on the `$1` with a nasty error message, rather than printin

Besides the expense, I can think of two reasons: - It has to be able to slow down before impact. - To other countries it would look a lot like a nuclear missile.

From a user perspective this seems very nice. It might be nice for developers too if it starts to train people to expect to pay more than $0-2 for a game. I wonder if part of Google's reason is to push people toward advertising instead

I've used Postgres RDS and it was fine. One limitation though is that unlike MySQL RDS, you can't (yet?) configure it for streaming replication. You can tick a checkbox to run a "Multi-AZ" deployment with failover, which

Did anyone else feel echoes from the first panel of that strip? That conversation feels like the opening dialogue of one of the big Sunday strips, where Calvin and Hobbes are riding their wagon down the hill and talking philosophy. Maybe so

When I lived in southern California, black widows were pretty common. A few tips: - They like to hang out in wood piles or corners of the garage. - Their webs look "messy". Also the webs are pretty tough and don't tear easily

I'd stress talking with a professional. You'll probably need to pay state+federal unemployment tax and disability insurance, plus you'll need to do FICA withholding on the salaries you're paying yourselves. If you forget

In vim I use / all the time to search, and I use f to move within the line or to say dfx or yfx or even d3fx. But is there any way to search for more than one letter without deleting/yanking the whole line? I want d/foo, but

I'm not an expert, but I think this is the difference: FHE uses known (unencrypted) operations to transform unknown (encrypted) data. It's true the program is data, but to run it you'd have to decrypt it. With FHE the operati

> the dev team was the fallback for doing data entry for weeks on end Wow, what? It sounds like you were doing the right things, but this is hard to comprehend. Wouldn't temps cost $12/hour for this? No wonder they were angry.

If you're comfortable with Chef, OpsWorks makes this pretty easy. There are several lifecycle stages, including one for deploying your latest app code. OpsWorks also lets you autoscale based on load or time of day. There is a Capistran

You must not have any children. :-) When a child comes, there are all kinds of new expenses: diapers, formula, clothes, pediatricians, strollers, cribs, baby monitors, toys. . . . Personally though, I'm surprised the canonical example

That's a good point. I'm thinking more about 10-20 categories of language-agnostic error rather than hundreds of language-specific errors. And there may still be scope for a paper that explicitly examines the paleography lists for

Paleographers have a whole catalog of scribal errors, which can be useful when trying to reconstruct a text from conflicting extant copies. Perhaps it would be helpful to compile such a list of common programming errors, and consider that l
