I really appreciate the distinction you're making here. That is, rebase itself is not necessarily either the hero or bane of the process. There are several ways to the "squash my disordered commits" problem, which you've

But the method is never really the thing you start a "sentence" with, though. You enter a method from a class, either statically or through an instance reference. Even in C#, if you have a local reference to a class instance, you

I just hate method names starting with a capital letter. I hate it so much, I put up with Java web/mvc products just to spite myself.

I mean, weather was just an arbitrary and silly made up example. You're reading it a bit too literally there.

Ah yes, apologies. Again, it's not strictly part of the HTTP request, but part of the TLS handshake around it. And only part of the TLS handshake as part of SNI, if supported (which is true by default). > "Server Name Indicati

You might have made the mistake of actually expecting something for that $20. In my mind, giving money for a game (or any sort of kick-started concept) is literally a donation. And if you happen to get anything out of it at the end, even be

It hides the domain too, in the literal HTTP request. What it doesn't hide is the DNS lookup for that domain. You still have to translate a hostname into an IP address. This might be a concern for certain uses. But at least it's o

Hypothetically speaking, plain HTTP transport even for "read only" content, can be a problem if it can be manipulated in transit. Let's take a weather service. Seems like weather information is a read-only immutable fact and

I mean, maybe. But both CIA and NSA no doubt are very aware of this possibility and I'm sure keeps very close tabs on anything like this. But if you are an state actor, I'm sure there are plenty of ways to identify the personnel w

Apple is not "in the cloud" though, that's not where they compete. So they have to bring AI to the device. A locally running AI engine might have some useful capabilities (not sure), but yes, it's never going to be LLM o

Oh, that's interesting. I didn't know that was even a thing. I need to look into that for retirement (some day way in the future)!

Sadly, since we don't care about deficit spending, the bombs will be unaffected by this spending.

Right, this is such an underappreciated problem. Buying a home doesn't "lock in" your monthly costs. It locks in the mortgage, sure. But it's very easy for your insurance and property tax rates to surpass any growing inc

Right, and no doubt there was pressure placed on this developer (likely in a lower-level position) without any sort of actual support or resources available. Those at the bottom of the pyramid tend to be looked upon poorly for asking questi

Valuations are silly and comparing them apples-to-apples rarely makes that much sense. It's just some numbers on a paper, there's no real "value" there.

"Happy Hour" usually implies alcohol, which obviously Wendy's doesn't support. But your idea is actually really interesting, maybe even innovative. Instead of the constant price changes from a digital menu, a fast food r

Amen. We need a web like you describe, "Only tiny places like hobbists [sic] forums or custom blogs". I'd love to help build this.

It's a little weird to me that you're dating this back to a timeline associated to a presidency. I think it just makes me feel old. Like, Bill Clinton's presidency wasn't that long ago. (was it?)

More like a build up to this bug. The proverbial straw on the camel's back, kind of thing.

They are doing it strategically to spread out the effect of uptick in new subscribers. Don't want to shoot their wad in one single action. Better to let the effects of the crackdown roll out over a few years.

The parallels of the printer industry and the smart TV industry are striking to me. The cost of a consumer smart TV has moved towards being subsidized by selling ads and watch history to media companies. Most consumers expect their flat scr

Huh? Golf courses I assume? Not that I know, but it would be interesting to have a study of water usage for golf courses. I suspect it's mostly minimal impact, even if it's also superfluous use.

Right? This kind of stuff just makes me look silly in what I'm able to achieve. I can only accomplish watching a video of some guy doing bad ass stuff and maybe holding onto a few notional details. People are just super smart sometimes

Sadly, you are correct. It used to be that prices didn't change that frequently and a printed menu would not be too much overhead. Now, prices are changing so rapidly, it's a non-trivial cost associated with printing new menus eve
