Also Lidl, at least in Sweden, does some things amazingly . One of the best shops for produce, for instance, both in quality and price.

Yes... surely.

Yes, and the choice is embarrassingly simple, especially for multi-million - or billion - companies.

Seems interesting, and I'll probably check it out. Been looking (albeit not very hard) for a neat entry into the blockchain field, this might be it. Doubtless there are other excellent resources, this timed it pretty well for me. My bi

I mainly use light modes, but very rarely use white ones. Similarly, I often find that many dark modes, esp. those emulating old-style terminals and computers, liek to put bright green colors on bright (as it were) black, or similar schem

I think it's unfair to claim that addressing the problem doesn't require more man hours, though. If you were (or maybe you are, I don't know) unable to program, how would you solve a programming need? Either by hiring someone

Direction is usually a continuous process. Freelancers, as he states, are rarely continuous as they move on to other project etc.

Offices pay rent, developers need salaries, electrical bills need to be paid, contractors need to get paid, as well. Software isn't free to create.

No, but you usually need more than the minimum possible retail value.

Sweden has it, at least for aunts/uncles, and grandparents (and great grandparents, and great-great-grandparents...). For aunts its faster/moster (portmanteau of father-sister, mother-sister, roughly). For uncles its farbror/

I actually made a library for that! It's published on npm and everything. It's small, a bit unpolished, maybe needs more docs, but it works pretty damn well if you ask me! https://gitlab.com/svartkonst/match

It's been roughly 10 years since I programmed on a Macbook (Leopard represent), and I did that on a Swedish keyboard so things might be wildly different, but I really really liked mac keyboards for braces and brackets. Windows requires

I've been using Fira Code pretty much since its inception, currently trying out Hasklig. I never want a programming font without ligatures ever again. This article, to me, seems like a case where the authors' ire is proportional t

by svrtknst 7y ago
but that's how programming ligatures work? Or, what is it that you're getting at? Fonts with ligatures, such as Fira Code or Hasklig, work by replacing characters with a ligature. The actual source code is still "->"

Maybe - Unless the bypass circumvents that. NSA did exactly that on Samsung (Tizen) TVs a few years back. One of their hacks, IIRC, was that they turned off the standby light so it would appear the TV was shut off.

While physical switches would be nice, and I generally am a fan of them, IMO they still require trust in the manufacturer. If I don't trust their software switches, why would I trust their hardware switches?

Sad to hear this. I've begun picking up some Erlang, mostly Elixir over the past few years, and have watched (and watched and watched and re-watched) most of his various (brilliant) talks, all of which are eye-opening. Aside from his t

A cracked sword without a hilt can't be called a sword, but it can be called art. A program full of syntax errors may not be a valid program, but it can be valid art.

I feel like there should be an option that lies between either "Install a new webview with every app" and "completely trust a previously installed webview". I guess the downside is that that would be just a new .Net Fram

Whenever this subject crops up, I'm inclined to just answer "Yeah, it's just you", at the risk of that coming off as too harsh. I really like CSS and it's where I got my start, and used it for a long time, often to
