yea that's an odd example to pick. expecting type conversion to add meaning to strings is a programmer problem not a language problem. really comes down to developers not thinking …

And a `git remote add name url` and you are setup to use another remote server.

Even if that's a concern in a doomsday scenario, self-hosting gitlab is super easy and a good (some would argue better) alternative.

It has an export function that you can scan from an old phone. And I kept the setup keys in my keepass database. On top of that now Google backs those up for you too.

Not sure if that's actually your question, but GLSL is the language https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL_Shading_Language

Seems like a rather easy thing to go wrong in the client, no? User sends message via client. Client fumbles the recipient id. Message ends up at the wrong recipient. Examples: inco…

I'm not sure if I missed a bit here, but I have some colleagues doing research on unikernels for HPC and the point is that this unikernel is running directly on the hardware or hyp…

JSON for something that essentially mirrors a shell installation process? Feels like you are trying to reinvent things with a golden hammer, not like actually making it easier.

If you read closely I am not talking about the limitations of GPT, but about the limitations of the developer having to fix code of others (GPT essentially being another developer)…

You're working under the assumption that you will be able to find the errors. I personally found reviewing code always way harder than writing it and we already push tons of bugs t…

It's more like not using semi-autonomuous driving features with the car entirely relying on your expertise to realise and correct when it's making a mistake. The main difference is…

Due to the nature of my current work I haven't really used GPT for coding yet, but I keep wondering isn't it easier to write code than to read and truly understand it? So how much …

Fair enough. I lost track of the correct comment chain there.

According to the RFC's PUT can be used to create a resource as long as the request has a clear target. That doesn't necessarily mean an ID, but just some kind of identifier (compos…

Aren't you basically describing that you want idempotency? The RFC 9110 (and also the old 2616) clearly state PUT is idempotent while POST isn't. 9.3.4 PUT "The fundamental differe…

It's not part of RFC 9110, so why should it be included?

Yes, as a long time Thunderbird on Windows user I second this.

Until it's the German bureaucrats that ruin your day. This is an international issue and a national answer doesn't solve it. For what it's worth my first name is also not accepted …

The article makes that point. There is no law to put a giant banner that disturbs UX in your users face. Companies choose to do so. There only is a law that prevents companies from…

I don't think we should abolish time zones, but he isn't making good points. His points are based on conventions that exist because we use local time zones and he uses a lot of Eng…

I've seen ChatGPT translate English to German miles ahead of what Google translate does. Like an English satirical poem to perfect German. Changing the literal translation to keep …

it's the 30 day uptime statistic displayed on the website I linked. if you click the history it says 98.452% over 365 days.

The second one is just a standby though and not in another region. And if I recall correctly dang mentioned at an outage that the failover to the standby is manual. But I'm not sur…

Does 99.995% [1] of hackernews sound reasonable enough to you? The reality is a lot of systems (especially simple ones) run perfectly fine on a single server with next to no downti…
