Python actually does have a kind of "anonymous function" feature, at least in a way that replaces most common use cases. It just happens to be bundled in a unique Python-like way. A lot of people don't seem to know about @c

There's no chance the U.S. military doesn't have the ability to selectively knock GPS out nation-wide. Odds are the American government has infrastructure in place to do the same in dozens of countries worldwide. GPS would never h

There's a lot I like about Python, but there are a couple of things that they've gotten so horribly wrong. 1. The KeyboardInterrupt exception for SIGINT. Whoever came up with that idea destroyed the credibility of the entire inte

The examples you list are the few obvious, controversial types. The majority of content creators who have been getting demonetized over the past year or two do not have a single shred of "bad stuff" in their content. There are peo

How about this for an idea: YouTube dictates to advertisers how things work, and not the other way around. This woven tale about how advertisers will abandon YouTube en masse if they're not in full control is such a load of baloney. If

Unfortunately the iOS support is a sham. I tested myself, and the rumors that iOS does not randomize MACs turns out to be true. Not only does it not simply change over time, it doesn't even change when you restart the device. I walke

Wait, you have a recovery code today ? I have an "RK-" recovery key in my backup from when I set it up a couple of years ago. However today I see no reference to recovery codes whatsoever, either on my account or during attempts

It looks like Apple ID "RK-"-prefixed recovery keys are no longer a thing. I have one stored in my backup, but none of the "forgot password" scenarios asks for a recovery key anymore. As a further test, I just stripped t

It's possible to never pay a dollar in League, and wind up owning all champions. The problem is how long it takes to unlock them all with the free in-game currency (previously IP, now Blue Essence). It takes 3-4 years of near-daily pla

Mozilla absolutely made the right decision to dump a decade's worth of legacy code to improve performance, and make the future happen now. Let's be real: had they supported legacy extensions, extension developers would ignore port

Thank you so much. That change, combined with the switch to the Light theme, makes Firefox so incredibly better on macOS.

Basically, this "cramming up all of the components tighter together" is worth being impressed with. We're at the point in manufacturing where every square millimetre of space saved on a logic board, or within a collection of

I took the liberty of scanning very quickly through your post history. We live and work quite far apart. Seems MLS pain is universal. ;)

I would also appreciate an answer to this question. It's not about "why'd you reinvent the wheel", but rather that I suspect you must have found chart.js while searching for options and decided something was missing or c

Fuck MLS. It's supposedly a "standard", but every single MLS API endpoint is completely different. As in, there are very few recognizable similarities between any two feeds. The data structures are not actually standardized

It's exactly this. YouTubers are being given phones to drum up some uneducated noise to dilute any criticism from technical reviews. YouTubers only care about view counts and their popularity, and most will just shout about how shiny i

Well, any decent company setting up proper emails sends multipart bodies: one for html, and one for plaintext. Text-only clients should never be missing out on the essentials. Of course this relies on companies doing things properly, which

I don't see how a command line flag or environment variable helps to reduce the attack surface. If an exploit is found, any attacker can add the required flag or environment variable anyway.

The major players tend not to bounce emails. They accept all mail at the edge, and then blackhole it once it's actually looked at by the backend.

It gets worse when you want to allow sorting the paginated results by something other than the integer primary key, such as a name. Duplicate names with different ids means having to use GROUP BY. I typed out the example queries below from

Some systems do. Elasticsearch is the example that comes to mind. By default, configuration prevents you from offsetting past I believe it's result 10,000. You can of course increase this limit, but there is a sensible default.

It depends on how much expensive merchandise you own. People forget just how quickly things add up. As a single example (out of hundreds in an average home), most people won't even remember to add their toaster to the insurance claim
