Surely if it were the other way around, the timestamp being LE would mean that the resulting strings no longer sort lexicographically in timestamp order?
Another neat encoding is the base-20 character set that Open Location Codes ("plus codes") use: > The characters that are used in Open Location Codes were chosen by computing all possible 20 character combinations from…
Oracle aren't "charging for Java", they're charging for extended support for an old version of Java. This is blatant clickbait.

Open source doesn't just mean that the source is publicly available, either, though. This definitely isn't an open source license: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/blob/master/LICENSE

now.sh handles this quite nicely: when you log in there, they send you an email and display three random words. When you get the email, you verify the words match, click the link, and then you'll be logged in in the…

I agree. Even if you think /user/ or /res/ is too long or unsightly, you could have shorter prefixes like (in an example.com/username system) example.com/.settings or example.com/_settings, or (in an…
Wagtail has a similar sort of thing, inspired by Sir Trevor I think, called StreamField; it still has to have a RichTextBlock type to support inline-level formatting (bold, italic, links, etc.) Currently it's either…
You could say the same about the use of a capacitative display on glass rather than a resistive screen you operate with a stylus, or the high (for 2007) pixel density, or the smooth (for 2007) UI and animations, or…
Wait, so they're replacing a license that has a dodgy patent grant that everyone distrusted, with a license that doesn't have a patent grant at all? Why not Apache?
I'm in Adelaide, Australia and I've never had this problem; I get maps within a second on both iOS and macOS, ADSL and LTE (Telstra in both cases). (As an aside, from what I've heard, public transport support being…
IIRC, because the payment terminals have their own power source, previous iPhone generations lacked the induction coils necessary to support passive NFC tags. Presumably they were added to the iPhone 7?
Don't forget, it's not just about consumer applications. Anywhere you might use a QR code or traditional barcode, but you don't want to have to worry about the barcode becoming obscured or worn with use. I know we've…
Pricing is €1,499, according to http://bgr.com/2017/02/28/sony-xperia-touch-release-date-pri... This would be awesome if it weren't for that price.

Photoshop is a verb. Adobe's trademark lawyers would very much like it to not be a verb, but it is. They've lost that battle long ago.
I can't vouch for it myself, but the Django Girls tutorial [1] is the resource I hear recommended most often for learning Django without any prior programming experience. [1]: https://tutorial.djangogirls.org/en/
Yeah, QF has already done this (for their domestic flights at least, as of last August) and they had motorised overhead monitors that folded down for the safety video.
