I hate that even more, especially since Visual Studio introducted it. I had the habit of selecting some text, and then typing to replace it. Now when my replacement starts with a parenthesis or quote, the text just gets surrounded instead!

True, but at least in my attempts, that setting only affects picture backgrounds and is ignored when using solid color backgrounds.

On my Windows 10 work machine, solid color backgrounds sometimes get reset to black after connecting to it via RDP. I "fixed" it by creating a solid color .png and using it as a background picture ...

Here I have to chime in and say that a certain YouTube razor is one of my favourite purchases ever. But I guess it's rather niche, being a double edged safety razor.

I like the SQL solutions people posted. But what about this one in Prolog? ?- setof(Author, Book^Pages^(book_author(Book, Author), book_pages(Book, Pages), Pages > 1000), Authors). Depending on the structure of the Prolog database

I completed last year's in Scryer Prolog and it was a joy. Some problems were almost impossible due to the lack of mutation (Karger's algorithm comes to mind), but file parsing was a breeze and I find Prolog programs generally bea

I wish I could set my Visual Studio coding font to 10.5pt. Now I have to use 10pt and 105% zoom! But then again, VS doesn't allow font size in px ...

I think the same applies to laws. You can't get information on why a law was passed, and many of them end up seeming odd or even counterproductive.

I think Windows will shorten the lifespan of your SSD even if you use "shut down", at least if you don't disable "fast startup". "Fast startup" basically replaces "shut down" with a light form of

If I understood the watch website correctly, the weekday marker shows 2 dots instead of 1 during AM.

Hmm I used Vim for about 10 years and I never used R. I preferred one of the c- variants, usually ct and cas. I guess it depends on acquired muscle memory?

Oooh! I put that string there! It was a request by management, and I still don't know why. This site doesn't store any passwords, it's basically just a nice interface to external account management. I heard a rumour that some

I've seen quite a few in Ljubljana. I drive by one in particular almost every day, and it really fits the environment and the style of the building: https://space-invaders.com/media/invaders/ljubljana/LJU

This reminds me of Seneca's letter on groundless fears. "We suffer more often in imagination than in reality." [1] [1]: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Moral_letters_to_Lucilius/Let...

I think it's quite normal to live in a 100+ year old building in a European city center. Though they're usually made from brick and not concrete. And do people who have built their own house usually demolish it and move on after j

Prolog's execution model is well defined so there shouldn't be any surprises to the proficient programmer. I'd argue it's less surprising than what a C optimizing compiler does.

I do the same on Windows. There's an option to hide icons on the desktop.

My first foray into programming was on an HP-41C calculator. At the time I didn't know it was "programming", I just used it to make life at school easier. Kind of seems like an Excel moment now, where most people don't k

I also don't understand the default muted grey comments. I usually configure comments to be a bright red color.

I've recently had to copy a bunch of files over two Windows Servers and was pleasantly surprised by robocopy's (basically Windows' rsync) solution to this dilemma: the first two parameters always only refer to directories, an

I have seen and used a close-door-to-start microwave. It was a regular microwave where the timer knob was broken. Every couple of weeks you would use pliers to turn the remaining spindle of the knob all the way to the right to reset the tim

How is that a one liner? Compare to: cp srcfile destloc/destfile Edit: In addition, the above gulp command reports success even if the file doesn't exist. If you want to check that, you need to import another library and expan

I believe "x install your framework" is the job of a package manager, not a build tool. I don't see how your argument holds ground. If everyone used make, tooling would support it, and you wouldn't need to learn the &quo

This actually works on OpenBSD, along with ^A, ^E and ^U, in Firefox and Chromium. I suspect it might work on a macOS too, but I haven't tried.
