As I get more experienced in operations, I find regex to be more and more invaluable. I used to dread doing a regex, now I get enjoyment out of sorting out a tricky one.

If basic webpages 'sold', then marketers would use them. Webpages that 'wow' work, that's why people use them. It's not based on gut feelings either - there's lots of research in the area, for example A&#

You're allowed to use equal force in the UK, as I understand it, which means if someone attacks you with fists, you can't shoot them in return. If you're in danger of being killed, then you'd be able to use lethal force.

Interesting, on FF54 the test link pegs a CPU but the memory doesn't rise. Eventually it stops and CPU returns to normal. But then I did a 'view source', and the memory use rose until the browser got oomkilled (20GB free ram

If you make a design because it looks good and not because it works well, then you're an artist , not a designer . A designer has to meld form and function. Pencil-thin light grey fonts are a fashion fad, not a thoughtful design choi

I dunno, satisfying both "not low contrast" and "not bright colour schemes" together, along with a good design in general, requires a moderate amount of knowledge. I'm not arguing that it shouldn't be done, but

Basic web pages are less appealing to the mainstream, so they capture fewer eyeballs there. Example: https://www.debian.org/ is a simple website, designed for broad accessibility, but it doesn't look 'slick'.

Well, yes, but that's not a very useful distinction. You train computers as well by programming them. In meatspace, there was a famous experiment in the '60s where kittens had their heads locked into position so that they only saw

To expand on that point, the brain is not good at simple products of large numbers, but is fantastic at doing things like triangulation. Or calculating how much muscle to contract to keep your balance going into a turn whilst running. Or ey

That article is mixing up "is it safe to do that from us?" and "is it safe to do that?". Do it from another vendor that isn't using https and all their reassurances about the method evaporate. Simply put: the method

I can't speak for other languages, but in English æ isn't really a letter in the modern tongue. It's just used when someone wants to be 'fancy'. You'll see athenaeum far more than you see athenæum, for example.
