Workaround for anyone struggling with this: Use the Import feature from the Files menu instead of the usual Open dialog for csv files. You can change decimal separators in the import wizard.

This development style might be a better DX for the teams. But Facebook on the web is an absolute dumpster fire if you use it in a professional capacity. You can't trust it to actually save changes you've made, it might just fail

Merge conflicts that must be resolved by the user (i.e. when there is no logical way to determine the priority of two offline changes) are still an application specific problem, even with CRDTs. You can build structures that allow storing c

It's important to note that AppleCare is Apple's manufacturer warranty, which doesn't have to be 2 years. The counter-party for the 2 year warranty in EU consumer law is the seller, which might or might not be Apple (e.g. if

I made a similar learning when messing with PAM to enable TouchID with sudo on a Mac! Edited the config with "sudo nano /etc/pam.d/sudo", a typo slipped in, saved the file and closed nano. After that sudo was broken

A lot of tech debt is self-inflicted, but not all. Decay is induced by external forces and the same thing can happen in software, e.g. when underlying platforms change. Mobile apps are pretty high maintenance because you often have to chang

So this makes me wonder: how common is desktop app development with Java these days? I imagine there is still a lot done for internal app, but is it still viable to ship Java apps to end users? How you handle JRE distribution in that case?

I strongly agree with this. You need someone around that actually uses what you develop, be it dogfooding or structured QA. I wonder if there is any books on game/software QA akin to Masters of Doom or Stay Awhile and Listen? Those pre
