Hmm, interesting logic; my first reaction is that even if I program a robot to hit a golf ball I still wouldn’t be any good on the links, but perhaps there’s enough medical theory that she’d have to encode that she would be the top doc. I would have expected the original program to already have the knowledge and skills useful in OP’s scenario, however.

I think all the engineers would have transferable skills, seeing as surgery is basically engineering/plumbing on living things.

The phrasing of “First actual case of bug being found” definitely sounds like it’s a reference to an existing term. Nowadays maybe people would say “a literal bug lol”.

Edit: to be fair, OP doesn’t say that Hopper invented the term

What about proxies and the like? It might be less relevant in a world where most communication happens under TLS.

Makes a lot of sense - it’s a GET with the body from POST (I know, there’s more to it than that). Definitely cleaner than encoding a huge URL or query string.

However, we’re still implementing IPv6, so how long until we could actually use this?

There’s kroki as well, which includes Mermaid, Excalidraw, GraphViz, PlantUML, etc.

The results are so close it seems like they’d be within the error bars.

For me it’s the Intellivision with its controllers that were attached with phone cords and those plastic inserts that would customise the controller for each game.

I think we only had one game, Triple Action (although only the tanks and biplanes were worth playing).

My parents’ house still has more vintage tech than most computer museums.

Well yeah, you need to do the computation somewhere and it’s not doing it on the server so…

I’ve been using Vimium C, but as it’s based on Vimium it may have the same problem.

It’s saying modern marshmallows are made with corn syrup, starch, sugar and gelatin but originally it was made with mallow plant.

Now I want to try the mallow version - has anyone here tried them?

Including English: æppel meant any kind of fruit, which is why you have names like pineapple and elephant apple.

Makes sense - the article says it’s just a regular piece of plastic, but it’s printed and clearly isn’t just a copy (unless you can photocopy onto plastic?)

Yeah, the article says

What transpired in the nearly 30 years since the story unfolded is bittersweet

and I was waiting for the sweet part. Turns out, apart from his mum’s good intentions, everything in the story’s pretty much on the bitter side.

Probably not; I’d expect the places where you need something like UUIDv7 (large, eventually-consistent systems) to not be entirely suitable because you can have records added out of sequence. You’d have to add a received-at field - but in that case you may as well just use a standard incrementing ID as your primary key.

In time-based pagination, the suggested fix to lots of data in a selected timespan is:

simply adding a limit to the amount of records returned (potentially via a query parameter) transparently solves it.

This means clients can’t see all the results, unless you add a way to view other pages of data, which is just pagination again. Or is the intended design that clients view either the first x results (the default) or view all results?

The problem with articles like OPs and others is that they don’t allow custom sorting, which is often a requirement, e.g. interfaces that present the data in a table, where column headers can be clicked to sort.

I’d second Mozilla sync, especially as you can self-host the server.

I use that one on Android, since I have a OLED screen and it seems to do wonders for my battery life.

I felt the same when reading that book, and I never finished it because following the rules he suggested produced horrible code.

If memory serves, he also suggested that the ideal if statement only had one line inside, and you should move multiple lines into a function to achieve this.

I once had to work on a codebase that seemed like it had followed his style, and it was an awful experience. There were hundreds of tiny functions (most only used once) and even with an IDE it was a chore to follow the logic. Best case the compiler removed most of this “clean” code and the runtime wasn’t spending most of its time managing the stack like a developer had to do.

Oh, that’s LAN - I thought you’d put ian and I was trying to get the joke. Stupid sans-serif fonts.

I know of it because Helix uses it, and it works really well.
