For robustness we might assign a higher edit distance to an add/delete of a letter as compared to a letter substitution. There are "tomato" and "potato" but no "otato" or "omato". Maybe Jerusale

Perilously close to "bananas" - like, what if "apples" and "epples" were two unrelated fruits?

Apple: There's no official documentation for this, but here's a haughty forum response from an unaffiliated volunteer sycophant directing you to the extant superficially-related documentation.

My guess was 50/50 between "house" and "food."

You may be giving yourself a little too much credit here; I expect more than a quarter of people in the northeastern US would know what "bagel and lox" is. Almost everyone who is not a stranger to a Jewish delicatessen would know

Are you seriously suggesting the "thin blue line" or "back the blue" flags are not political messaging? Lots of folks with different backgrounds and beliefs "support police and military"; however, the bootlick

Won't the advice in that cursory blog post expose the plaintext to query logs? IMHO doing the hashing and password comparison in application code has benefits in both shifting the compute workload to horizontally scalable non-db worker

FWIW this sort of email triggers my immediate shutdown reactions in several ways: use of "Hey" greeting from some unknown non-friend, general (albeit here not total) avoidance of first-person pronouns[1], phony-baloney specificity

Yes--it's not as if Donald set forth his case in a preamble, then bolstered that case with logic and evidence, brick by brick. He started with "there was massive fraud, big fraud" and ended with "I'm hearing there

Suppose Trump’s rant of inflammatory lies had gone on for 90 minutes; would CNN, Fox, et al., reasonably be expected to air it all? What if the president had called for terroristic acts against his opponents, show that in its entirety with

Some of the networks wisely determined that the speech was unfounded, baseless, and harmful. News networks do not need to be a spigot for outright lies and fabrication.

Yes, this does seem like a pompous way to glorify hunch-based decision making.

A corporate VPN probably wouldn't appear in the lists of "known VPNs" or have low IP reputation; also, outside perhaps of some subtle timing issues, there's nothing to distinguish client->corpvpn->service traffic f

RxJava has some nice tools for async buffering, debounce, etc., but it pays to understand CountdownLatch, Semaphore, Mutex, ExecutorService, etc., and I would definitely not consider RxJava a substitute for other things. Do avoid anything r

Before there was iMessage, there was BlackBerry Messenger. It had similar qualities of being a nicer user experience as compared to SMS. Must be nice to reimplement an old idea and qualify as innovation. :)

IME these efforts towards interop are rather superficial. They may still be implemented in wildly incompatible fashion, and you will need to open up the ol' wallet wide even to get access to figure out whether it is feasible to build

To me this article (frontend developer imagining healthcare data simplification) reads sort of like if a personal trainer wrote a few pages on why we should all stop using plastics. A laudable goal, yes, but the post does not shed light on

FWIW, I had a pretty bad bicycle accident and was administered morphine, dilaudid, and fentanyl (in that order) at various times in the hours following. Only dilaudid had any affect at all on my clarity of thought.

I'm in vigorous agreement here--polymorphic JSON is far more difficult to deserialize safely, and every instance I've seen of this in the wild has been the output of careless or deeply ignorant makers.

Is it more or less mind-blowing to look around and note that virtually everything in our houses and offices--electronics, pots and pans, tables and chairs, autos, etc.--came out of the ground? Think about all the ore-bearing rock and soil t

The trailing "." becomes practically important if you have a client that believes in DNS search suffixes (yuck!). I imagine it might have some effect in this particular case if the user-agent includes the dot in the "Host&qu

Will this put pressure on New "Live Free or Die" Hampshire? Or shall the Granite State prefer more limits on what "free" means?
