This might make me finally embrace powershell Yeah, I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with it. But I actually have that with all shells out there. I don't know if it's just me or the shells, or (the most likely I think):

It's fast indeed. And I can't help keeping promoting the combination with fzf :) For those who want to try it out, this is a Powershell function but the same principle applies in any shell. Does ripgrep then puts fuzzy searching i

Reading things like this to me has the same effect as reading that 1/5 (or whetever the current rate is) of people is now obese. But the article doesn't even stop there, the next paragraph: > researchers analyzed 25 melatonin g

Your colleague should search for some local markets selling such tomatoes; in summer obviously, otherwise they aren't available. Not claiming they are the exact same breed as the ones in Italy nor exactly as tasty, but the difference w

Whenever I see articles like this I wonder the same. In theory it is possible to trace back where anything one buys came from, in practice not so much because almost inevitably you'll hit a company along the production/shipping ch

You're definitely not alone in not knowing this, I have to explain to like 95% of people that this works, is faster, and vastly preferrably over sending me screenshots (or pictures taken by phone) of error dialogs. In their defense: th

Funny. Seems I fell into the same trap I just sketched, making wrong assumptions because of not looking around in the code. But to be honest from your explanation I still cannot tell whether I merely used incorrect terminology wrt dynamic t

Funny. If this is effectively so, the code is actually fairly ok and clearly expresses the intent for humans yet the OP claiming exactly that managed to still misunderstand the code because they made up a precondition ('defaultValue is

This is really cool and kinda makes me want to put various things I have under such scanner. However several statements like provide optimal power efficiently along with other assumptions made this a bit awkward to read. What does it mean

This isn't really 'tiktok generation'? Boomboxes are like 4 decades older if not more and were used for that. I did this stuff 2 decades ago. Likewise the underground rave scene which crashes warehouses and whatnot with their

Thanks, but I wasn't actually looking for an analogy. I'm trying to understand things like how the government (or whatever actor) would gain access to browser history via a MITM attack for instance.

Thanks for this alternative view on things, makes me realize even more it's not the tech per se which is the issue, but the way it is executed.

What happens to colored cars nowadays? In case this isn't a rhetorical question, read up about research which tries to link (car) color choices to the state of the economy for instance. It's pretty interesting really.

These fake problems were invented already and this article tries to debunk them. Nothing wrong with that, on the contrary I'd say, and pointing out there are other real problems doesn't really change that?
