I’ve kept budgies (parakeets) all my life, and occasionally I’ll post a picture on social media and get the inevitable “keeping birds in cages is cruel” backlash. It invariably comes from people who do not keep birds. Budgies love their

You can use any regular JS library from typescript. You just won't get type checking in calls to it.

It's still the same in the UK as it always was, just plus this credit thing. If you're maverick enough you can dodge it by being a good enough researcher that they aren't going to kick you out for not attending workshops, but

Well, they’ve used CSS to do that. If they’d just left it alone it would have been fine.

There’s nothing wrong with slicing at the byte level if you’re slicing with a delimiter like \n or “. UTF-8 sets high bits so continuation bytes never look like ASCII characters.

I used to think binary formats for network protocols were a really good idea until I found out how big the TCP header itself can be. Saving a few bytes from your payload by using binary representations of integers doesn't make a huge

Regarding JSON, this page says: > Performance is not good when dataset is huge. Program usually needs to load all data into memory first. This is just downright false. There are plenty of SAX-style JSON parsers.

We'll worry about that once ALL of the rescue hens are living in our backyards. Plenty to go around for now...

Not even remotely similar. Goats (and cows) need to be pregnant to produce milk, which is why you inevitably end up with offspring as a by-product of milk production . Hens lay eggs regardless of whether a rooster is present, so if you get

You need exactly zero roosters per flock if you're only after eggs.

Totally agree, they're great fun. :-) It's also why I don't agree with the moral argument for veganism - happy hens lay eggs too and eggs gotta be eaten!

"You are the product" seems a bit strong for Dropbox. Pretty sure Dropbox is the product and I pay for it. Same goes for Siri AFAIK - I don't personally have any use for it, but it's a feature of the iPhone that you pay

I think everyone is in agreement about what "vegetarian" means apart from you. Vegetarians don't eat the flesh of animals, and it's always been like that. Eggs and milk are animal products, not the flesh of animals - so

A vegetarian diet has never included fish. You’re thinking of pescatarianism.

IOCP is very complicated to code against, though. kqueue can do nearly all the same things and is both much cleaner and more portable.

Even the source on the original article you linked to isn't from Facebook. I can't track down a single citation for anyone from Facebook saying "send pictures to yourself and flag them".

Absolute clickbait. Facebook is allowing you to flag pictures you have already shared in messages as something that you don't want to be shared any further. They are not asking you to upload pictures they don't already have,
