In Europe "no 737 MAX" basically means "no Ryanair". Depending on how you feel about Ryanair, avoiding the 737 MAX can be very easy. In other places, like the US, they may not be practical to avoid.

I don't think that's true. Some years ago I did a free trial with them (did not pay anything). More recently I decided to actually sign up (for a paid account) and the email address I used for the free trial years ago was not avai

You're right, but the author's approach still works by accident, because ClearType is disabled when drawing text to canvas. I am not sure why that's the case, but I would guess it's because the subpixel colors can only b

You can keep your commands simple enough so that they can be executed by both `sh` and `cmd.exe`. If you need anything more complex than invoking other programs, `&&`, `|` and `>`, it's time to rewrite your build script in a

It seemed to me that the previous poster wanted a way to wait for the result of a promise (in a blocking manner), and I meant that this is available in other languages. You're right that it is not usually spelled "await".

XSLT would be a classic answer, but it's a bit of a lost ancient technology these days. I've only used it in the browser for a lark, but I suppose you'd find mature (old) libraries for working with it easily enough. PHPTAL is

I mean… yes? I don't see what's so confusing. In an office building, if anything goes wrong, an alarm goes off and everyone leaves, and insurance pays for damages. In a residential building, you have people sleeping, sick, possess

It used to be that the only programs capable of somewhat correctly parsing HTML were web browsers, each one of them produced different results, most weren't open-source, and none were reusable as libraries. If you wanted to parse HTML
