Maybe XML could be the right tool for some jobs, it's just that the entire industry have searched for these jobs for the past two decades, and very few have turned up. In other words, it's a solution looking for a…

Just as I suspected, you did know the history, you were just feigning ignorance. So I suspect you do know the relevant internation laws as well. But allow me to quote myself: > The UK recognizes the PRC as the successor…
> When China says "You know what, China? No. We will not break our own agreement. How could you even suggest that? Hong Kong is sovereign" What on earth are you on? Ever heard of "one country, two systems"? One country?…
Have you been to, read about, or seen any news about China in the last, oh I don't know, 50 years? Or did you make up your mind about China during the height of the Cold War era and you're never going to change it no…
I think you're being downvoted because the title of the post is The "Granny Knot", and your wording sounds like you're saying Ian claims he invented the "Granny Knot". But obviously you're talking about the "Ian knot".…
I do the same, don't even need a shoe horn, and my heel tabs hold up just fine. Seriously, who has time to tie their shoelaces everytime they put on their shoes?
> Even if it looks 'ugly' by today's standard No it does NOT. It's beautify because it's simple, yet consistent and clear. Today's "standard"? That's the ugly one.
I checked it, and the case you linked, out. So there is a similar law in the US, even though it's not named "National Security Law". And you can be prosecuted under that law. How different is it really, from the…
There you need the word "every" to convey that it's a loop. I'd certainly agree that "for each" is much better than "for" alone.
It's only natural if you already know that a for-statement is a loop. "while" is no better without the "do".
> "Clean this item and put it away. Then do that for every other piece of cooking equipment." Without the "do" it's nonsensical. And that was exactly my point.
It's kind of sad that "for" is the keyword programming languages settled on for the loop construct. Ever since its counterpart "do" was dropped from the for-statement, it's just been utterly nonsensical. I mean how on…
I'm glad you are so sure. Maybe the new national security law of HK is less than the Platonic ideal of a perfect law. Is it also fair to say that you think the National Security Law of the US is bad too? Since chloerei…

Thank you for your reply. That's an impressive list of credentials. But it confirmed my suspicion: you don't speak Cantonese, Taiwanese, or Mandarin. >> You probably don't speak any Romance language outside of English,…
I share your concern. Since the response body is not encoded, there's no safe end-of-response marker byte(s) to use. So content-length seems like the way to go. But knowing content-length ahead of time is difficult for…

I think this is a case of "that's how it's always been done". My understanding is that it's done this way so that there's a consistent experience installing software from a CD/DVD or from a download online. But I think…

I still like my Model S quite a bit, but Tesla cars have always looked a little dorky to me, models S, 3, or X (I'm not sure how I feel about the Cybertruck just yet). I certainly didn't get mine for the look. They sure…
> Software shouldn't be developed for development's sake. Well said. I prefer Windows 2000 myself, but other than that, couldn't agree more.
Ideally yes. The police could've been more professional and handled it better. But they are not robots, they are human beings too. I'm not say that makes them right. I'm saying I can understand why they stayed on the…
