Is it common in the Windows world for you to be able to copy software which you purchased on one device onto another device and expect it to work? Last I checked DRM is still the norm over there. Note that if the OS didn’t do this, you can

A good bagel doesn’t need filling, nor even to be sliced. A few sesames on top is perfect.

Agreed. Why they wasting our time pointing out it’s “non-linear” when this statement is only true for some definitions of linear? Just pick a non-ambiguous word, or add an asterisk and footnote.

That's the whole point of the metaphor - comparing apples to apples is good, apples to oranges is bad.

I’m not sure about near-infrared specifically, but I’m certain that shining light on yourself at “good” wavelengths can be beneficial. Specifically the use of a 10000 lux led panel to mimic the sun in the morning definitely helps with seaso

64-bits is plenty as long as you code it properly. The ids should be generated as part of the INSERT statement itself. This means in the rare case which has a duplicate id generated, you will get a primary key error and the transaction will

Various groups donated masks to China in January, what's your point? Outside of China, nobody was talking about needing masks until March. I'm pretty sure the author is talking about the fact that by March, China had already produ

Is there any evidence that the submitter of the code did not want to make the change? It seems quite possible that the contributor wanted to make this change and volunteered their time. If that’s the case, the complexity of the change shoul

I'm of the perspective that people arguing against these changes are bullying. The changes are easy to make, represent goodwill and inclusivity, and yet people with nothing to gain or lose are saying no. That's bullying.

I'm pretty sure that most people, upon having one of their certs expire, do not find the private key and release it publicly. In fact they often generate a new cert from the same key...

They could have added namespaces to branch names. Right now branch names are just a free-for-all. Instead, if they insisted that branch names are always prefixed with "username/", then you wouldn't need forks and anybody

How so? git handles binary files at least as well as any other VCS from what I’ve seen.

A better comparison would be: Hammers are designed for striking nails, but some customers have figured out they work well for cracking walnuts, so as a hammer manufacturer we should avoid using toxic ingredients such as lead.

Agreed - this HTTPS everywhere madness needs to stop as there are still valid use-cases for HTTP and no user-friendly workaround for enabling access to local IP addresses via HTTPS.

You cannot make an AJAX call from an HTTPS site to a HTTP site on a local IP address. One of the internal web applications I develop (which is hosted over HTTPS itself) has to workaround this by doing the connection from the browser to the

I discovered this in my late teens and thought it was super cool and made me want to understand more about repeating decimals. After playing around for a bit I realized you could form arbitrary repeating decimals by dividing by 9, 99, 999 e

The other key to understanding this is that multidimensional arrays in Postgres are not simply arrays of arrays like typical programming languages. That’s why you can’t do things like array_agg on an array column.

Not saying I agree with GP but there are 2 distinct notions of time. One is related to durations, and the other is absolute time (aka wall time). Clocks measure wall time, not durations. Cellular processes probably don’t care about wall tim

I think the usefulness of type annotations is directly related to whether you are using classes. In JavaScript or PHP, it’s usually easy to figure out if something is meant to be an int, string, array or object (yes we’ve probably all done
