It's hard to grapple with the degree of the offense. It is offensive. Imagine a small village a couple hundred years ago with a central square and something like a bulletin board. Someone paints an explicit painting…
In case it helps anyone tinkering with XML and C#, Visual Studio has a feature in the menu to "paste xml as classes". That can be quite handy if you're going to be deserializing it.
As a counter point, it may be quite subtle and hard to notice what goes wrong when you remove something to see what happens. Imagine you see a large sql query that has a bit of logic that doesn't make sense to you. If…
This seems reasonable to me. Devs and BAs flesh out business processes and ultimately document decisions in our Jira issue comments. When you have an issue id handy, it's not that hard to go read what the rationale was…
I agree. If we look to music, how can a musician unhear what they've heard? We celebrate musicians when they cite their influences. In the case of a software library, it is a tool, not a work of art. Its beauty is in…
The soap opera effect drives me nuts. I just about can't watch something when it's on. It makes a multimillion dollar movie look like it was slapped together in an afternoon.
The analogy is strained. Software is closer to a food recipe than a building. Trying to make a 3-layer strawberry banana cake with pineapple frosting? You are going to have to bake something and taste it to see if your…
The author is like, "OMG, so many tables everywhere, jeez!" Uh, yeah bud, you new here?
I knew I explained that poorly. What I mean is that, in comparing "y'all" to "all y'all", a simple "y'all" is "you guys (and maybe me)" while "all y'all" is "you guys and not me". Grammatical constructs can have a lot…
Having never given much thought to it, your analysis rings true to my native Texan ears. There's another usage that comes to mind, though. One might argue that "y'all" borders on a second person plural inclusive of the…
Your take is much different than mine. The issue was a practical one of sparing people from working too much over one weekend since the bug would have to wait until Monday, and the author willingly described the…
I would say it's totally normal for a 2nd language's swear words to have much less impact on one's psyche than one's maternal language.
The elderly? I'm drawing a blank.
Good comment. I looked up "nexii" out of curiosity, and it appears that "nexuses" is the appropriate plural, FYI.
I think if the stone were kept exceptionally clean, it would go a long way. The dark stained look adds a lot to the sinister vibes, IMO.
This makes the most sense. Start a timer when the UI actually hands control to the player whose move it is, stop the timer when they've completed their move, and simply subtract that from their remaining time. The…
I have the same questions. If it's known that disclosing certain information will stastically lead to worse outcomes due to patient reaction, what do you prioritize - better possible outcome or patient autonomy over…
I think DRY should be supplemented by "Don't make me read it multiple times". Repeat yourself, by all means, if that makes it so that I don't get all twisted up jumping between so many files that I can't keep the main…
Partly, I think that the culture is more affected by the lack of history than most people realize. If you've lived in Europe, and I'm sure elsewhere, you understand your mortality implicitly from the centuries-old…
I also found this concerning.
I agree that the availability has always been a big program. I always wanted a pi zero w but never could find one at list price.
Fifteen years ago (I remember the apartment where I had this thought), it occurred to me that time was running out to write an authentic novel. Soon, computers would generate whole stories in an endless variety of…
I work with a guy who makes a lot more than me, and he describes his salary as "spending money" because he has so many other ventures, contract jobs, and investments. His attitude about code is that no one in the future…
Just leave comments for the most embarrassing pieces. // really not the way to do this, but it works // ideally, we'd do xyz, but this is good enough
Some people advocate for a secure httpOnly session cookie for the client, letting the server hold onto the JWT and manage refresh. This gets you the benefit of server to server access via the token as well as the…
