A candidate had a device unrelated to the job which might be for piracy and you turned him down for that? What sort of self-absorbed narciccist are you?

The browser could be seen as a special case, as it's the most public API around. So classes are in many cases simply for namespacing and modularisation. Interestingly, the HTML spec for DOMParser has a note about exactly your comment:

I'm not entirely sure this can be called a framework. If there was a Bootstrap v0.1 it would be this, before it decided to do a whole bunch of extra things to become a framework. A few years ago you might have simply named it "res

chmod/chown has been the de facto (if not de jure) method securing LAMP stacks for as long as I have been alive. Not that I recommend taking the advice of a LAMP stack too seriously :)

Her total mortgate exposure is $1.2m, not her currently owed amount. $24k is a yield of only 2% so yeah she's on razor thin margins... which does explain why she's immediately in jeopardy from the slightest economic wobble (not th

If you're in/near Poland then my former company has a buttload of old Mac Minis that might be useful for you. DM me if interested.

You can actually do that with React. Nothing is stopping you. It's not the recommended way because as soon as you want validation or dynamic fields you need state anyway. And there're easy libraries like Formik that handle all the

But setting the wrong state is someting that happens far less and is much more traceable, because the encapsulation of state changes into a single place massively reduces the side effects (and global state) that were the cause of 90% of tho

Gatsby (static-site generator powered by React) was a massive timesaver for me. Sure, you spend a bit longer setting up some basic components, but the trivial ability to share those components between pages more than makes up for it...

That seems extraordinarily naive. The NSA would not give up access like that unless forced at gunpoint, and the US gov has clearly demonstrated it doesn't care (and actually quite likes) this sort of gross privacy invasion. The only (i

This is a net/gross carb confusion. Less than 50g including fiber, or 20g excluding fiber.

Today I was trying to find info about Corpus Christi - a Polish film that won some awards lately. DDG gives me information about a place in Texas, including stuff from the local newspaper and attractions. I'm searching from a Poland IP

I work at a place now that uses USS Starship names for projects. Really brings home the old adage about the hardest parts of computer science being naming things when the decision comes down to a discussion of the philosophical implications

Any exposure, intentional or accidental, of PII to a non-authorised person is a GDPR violation. An email address is PII as it's unique to that person. Consider the Ashley Madison breach - there were websites that let you search for an

The old UA will exist as it always has done - frozen, unchanged. Nothing will be removed from the literaly `user-agent` header value.

There are plenty of unmaintained sites out there that do stupid things in reaction to UA strings, and one of the stupid things is using a regex that expects specific strings to exist. Using a completely new string format in the same field (

No, I mean that within a few weeks of starting without stretching I'd get injured. Form is definitely part of it, but I went through a few cycles of "start going to the gym, do sessions without stretching, get injured, take time o

I've done the whole "no stretching" thing before weightlifting when I was younger. It's led to injury every time, and that injury leads to 3-month breeaks. Trading 10 minutes per session for a greatly increased chance of

For me a 5-10m jog at medium pace is a good way to warm up. Don't get tired, barely get out of breath, just stretch your muscles and get your body ready for the rest of the session. If you prefer to stretch then do that instead :)

It's interesting how these trends have come and gone for the entire history of computing. A constant shift between "computer-origin" and "real-world origin". At first, actual paper - you could say this is "real

Presumably the bug would still be considered a bug if it occured at 65536 hours? The incorrectly-signed bit only makes it appear sooner, but it's not the bug.

You know which planes crash the most? Tiny planes with less than 6 passengers. Almost no automation, and by god are the pilots excited while they plow into the ground through their own error.
