Better to assume UTF8 and fail with a clear message/warning. Sure you can offer to guess to help the end user if it fails, but as other people have pointed out, it’s been standard for a long time now. Even python caved and accepted it

How many laws would that break?

I can easily imagine an AI algorithm noticing a user has two phones, and deciding that is out of the ordinary and suspicious, and locking you out of both.

Yes, it does seem like all that effort to wrap redis is wasted, and that it’d be easier to just create their own. It isn’t clear to me why this is better than creating their own. Does anyone know why they would go the route of trying to wra

So if someone lives off white bread and pasta with little to no meant/veg, that could possibly deplete magnesium. Is that true, there is more magnesium in the husk?
36.
by zadokshi 3y ago
It’s not clear to me which foods you would need to “only eat” to not have enough magnesium. Meat, vegetables, and grains all contain magnesium. I wonder if you process meat into (for example) hot dogs, you are eating meat mixed with grains,

Freedom on full display. Employees free to break their employment contract. Employer free to fire them. Let me guess, you want power to control what people and companies can or can not do? I don’t trust you enough to put you in control of t

This is literally their current business model. Large music distributors pay for streams, the songs rise up the charts, people see the songs. If that’s not advertising I don’t know what is.

No. The point is the examples don’t directly support the contention. Observing that the examples don’t directly support the contention doesn’t by itself validate or invalidate contention.

Saying part of the problem is “using too many dependencies” is not an overly helpful thing if the ecosystem keeps on trying to download 3Gb of build dependencies because you tried to use some simple little library. The problem is obvious, i

Golang users don’t sit around arguing about package managers, nor do they have trouble with trying to make sure they have the right version of go installed. Early versions of go didn’t solve things well, but go has had this fixed for a long

That’s literally his point. Other languages have solved this. It makes no sense that it’s not solved in python. (If your not sure how look at a golang go.mod file or a rust Cargo.toml file.)

No one meads “scare screens”. I’m. It sure what I think about this yet, but I’m pretty sure I’m going to land on “allowing less privacy aware browsers to run web “apps” with heightened privileges seems like a recipe for disaster. Maybe in t

Yes, but there are other studies that make this link. The link is apparently strong enough that some prefer the phrase “type three diabetes” as a way to describe Alzheimers. “Currently, there is a rapid growth in the literature pointi

Exactly, it wouldn’t be hard for the mobile providers to require sms confirmation and/or written authorisation before a number is ported out. I don’t know if it’s government law or phone company laziness getting in the way of SIM secur

How did the bank “make” you do this? Does your country only have one bank?

We already know for a fact that the pharmaceutical companies have teams to manipulate social media through bot accounts. I don’t know why Beyer/Monsanto would be any different.

Why does good content get posted to the wrong platform?

I invite you to share your own superior knowledge to the masses via your own YouTube videos so we can learn from you. Until then, I’ll learn from what is made available for others. Post back here once you’ve created some better content so w

Spoken like someone who has never implemented a push notification system. How does a server know when to send a push notification to a client if the server doesn’t know the users local Timezone. Want a wake up call at 7am? How does the serv

Yep I’m surprised this made it through even basic code review. It makes it seem like this code was written by a junior dev without any code review. Accidents happen; it’s human and understandable; but wowzer this one seems like a beginner

Not saying some companies aren’t up to no-good. But, collecting timezone (or ip to infer timezone), as long as it’s done with user consent in the privacy policy and or notifications setup process is actually helpful for end users. Most of u

The cost of the losses are likely less than the cost of increased security. If it was more profitable to use “armoured cars” they would be doing it. No company willingly chooses the less profitable option.

The ability to distinguish sounds in an L2 that is not in the L1 is absolutely possible. It comes with a combination of massive input and being taught the tongue positions to allow the person to begin producing the two sounds. If someone sa

Yes, this is the real answer. The claims being made are not as articulate as they should be. You could perhaps say “before 12 a person can pick up an accent for ‘free’” but after twelve its certainly possible to pick up correct accent but i

The inner workings of git are not overly complicated. The real problem is git only provides a thin layer on top of the inner workings. It’s not git that needs replacing, (it’s just saving blobs of data) it’s the user interface on top that i

To be honest, I can’t even imagine what you imagine “git save” and “git update” would even do in an alternate universe.

Technical people have a blind spot where they think technical competence and expertise is what helps someone up the food chain. The truth is it’s who you know not what you know. Especially in these larger types of companies.

So do tech CEO’s just have more bad luck lately? Or is it that the title tech CEO make it more likely that you will appear in the news? (Compared to the rest of the violent acts against non tech CEO’s that isn’t reported)
