Interesting, but that makes me wonder how a vision-impaired person could even shop at a grocery store? None of the products have braille on them.

To me the mistake here sounds like the fact that they rolled it out all at once. I’d have expected to see this implemented by slowly ramping up tariffs on non-organic fertilizers/pesticides over a number of years (like 5-10). It probab

Because then a missing comma somewhere becomes a weird bug, as opposed to a syntax error. Languages with implicit string concatenation using no operator have found it to be a common source of bugs, eg python. See https://news.yco

Same sort of problem. I have an account like that which was giving these messages and after trying a lot of things over few weeks I gave up. Some long time later (year+) I retried and got in. I attempted to change the security settings, but

I’m also curious how modern languages compare to older variants. Even modern English to Shakespeare stuff. I think to measure efficiency of a written language, you’d have to time how long it takes people to read it (and correctly answer som

Exactly. At least make it something like --jps for strings and --jpn for numbers.

There are certainly tradeoffs, which is why I said I’d like the option. Since I’m moderately familiar with the other language, I really just need the translation for words I don’t understand or mis-hear. There is such a thing as a real-time

A pet peeve of mine has been subtitles which flip the order of words, particularly when the sentence is broken into two lines. Like the spoken text in foreign language is “A murderer is... Joe” but it gets translated to “Joe is a... murdere

Do you have stock options and/or is it a small company where the success of the team may have a significant impact on the ability of the company to promote you in the future? If either of those is the case, I think there may be reason

It sounds like these problems would be easier to address if the project maintainer adopted a CI/CD workflow. Just make sure that if it’s a public repo to setup proper access control.

I find the opposite pattern. The first week or so of a vacation I keep wondering about work and how the team is doing. It takes a while before I stop caring (and start ignoring work email). This is usually sped up by finding some side proje

Yeah I think something like this is the way to go. The table name needs to be listed in a consistent manner like all other joins, and I don't think the syntax should be different depending on which order the tables are listed in. With

I tried turning on IPv6 on my VPS server running Docker. Not knowing much about IPv6, I naively assumed it’d just work. Evidently not, and you either need to run a NAT service or your containers become publicly routable, both having major c

Thanks, I’m not too knowledgeable on this subject, but given that the phrase 他不在這裏 can be understood entirely by looking up the definitions of the individual characters (which I don’t think have changed much over time), but not so for 佢唔喺呢度

I don’t follow. Written Chinese predates the CCP by a very long time. More specifically, 他不在這裏 is a phrase that I could imagine being used in official written text in past dynasties. But 佢唔喺呢度 does not.

You're not wrong, but sometimes simple formats aren't as simple as they look. It sounds like what you want is basically a format like /etc/os-release: NAME="Rocky Linux" VERSION="8.5 (Green Obsid

Routers know how to figure out what route to use for a given IP. If they apply this algorithm to the source IP and find that the optimal route to the source is a different interface than it was received on, that’d potentially be a red flag.

Not exactly - the problem is mostly when doing variable expansion. The fact that bash treats "$x" and $x as different is a bit of a design flaw. Of course there's still an issue with evaluating dynamically generated code, but

Don’t you just treat the range as half-open? Eg a '[)' range in Postgres.

No. The target is normally a primary key but the source is not. The source is rarely even unique.

The actual content (eg pictures, videos and text) all look better on a retina screen. I don’t think people buy retina screens so that the UI elements look prettier.

Yeah I’ve run into this a few times. In Postgres, you can’t add a foreign key referencing columns that aren’t indexed. I assume this is for performance reasons so inserts/updates are efficient, but there is no such check that the sourc

From my experience, if you give pretty-printed JSON to a YAML parser, it will explode.
