Did you read the explanation? It says right there on the page why it happens. Or was that text added since you viewed it?

The page addresses this issue, saying that browser text wrapping can cause issues and gives advice on how to deal with it.

GET and QUERY are both idempotent.

That is the good old fashion workaround. But why is it better than a form causing an HTTP QUERY. If we can do QUERY forms, it would be an ideal time to add JSON encoding for forms.…

I found that Deep Research mode in Gemini was able to give me a well planned 4 day trip to a major city. I told it my preferences and of the group members, where we arrived and dep…

Yes, it can be confusing if you don’t read the article. He said he went on a 10 day trip and didn’t take a computer. That is context for why he got a Bluetooth keyboard. I doubt he…

Maybe the mechanism for sharing could be inspired by OpenBanking? In the UK and EU all the banks have to offer API access to accounts. Instant transfer (sub-second) for free is ava…

Yeah and those stats show a big difference. In the UK there are 2.6 fatalities per 100,000 population on average per year. And in the USA it’s 14.2 That’s five times higher! For th…

So you’ve never improvised an air conditioning system from a spare bilge pump, a propane tank and a cast iron radiator? Sir, this is a hacker news.

Stepping out of pure maths and into engineering we find complex numbers indispensable for describing physical systems and predicting system change over time. I don’t have a list to…

Who should accept responsibility when a conversion is not as expected? There are very few ‘lossless” conversions possible if you consider the loss of a data or metadata could affec…

The problem isn't so much finding the shortest path, but finding the right cost function that adequately matches human satisfaction. Not just distance, not just turns, but also kno…

I think that is a bigger impact on writes than reads, but certainly means there is some gap from optimal. To me a 4k read seems anachronistic from a modern application perspective.…

If you try and push you sensei, before you know it you'll be doing jujitsu.

So if WhatsApp had an outage, but you needed to communicate to someone, you wouldn't be able to? Don't you have contacts saved locally, and other message apps available?

Rare for people who don't deal with encoding and decoding maybe. To be clear the codec implements the compression (or other encoding) algorithm. So when talking about codec's we me…

The vaccines were all made for early varients. Once the omicron varient came along, it had so many changes from the original strain that the effect of the vaccines were essentially…

> Modern computer systems are complex systems — and complex systems are characterized by their non-linear nature, which means that observed changes in an output are not proportiona…

The S3 API allows requests to read a byte range of the file (sorry , object). So you could have multiple connections each reading a different byte range. Then the ranges would need…

Learning from others doesn’t mean you are not learning.

I believe that Netware had NET SEND before Microsoft had any networking at all. But maybe I’m wrong. Certainly NT had a netware compatible stack, but this was way after netware bla…

It tries to be OOP, but you can still implement a program with int, int[] and static methods. And you can’t subtype those. Other JVM languages, like scala, are more OO than Java.

It's great that they added iceberg support I guess, but it's a shame that they also removed S3 Select. S3 Select wasn't perfect. For instance the performance was no where near as g…

Indeed, environment variables should be used to configure child processes, not to configure the current process, for non-shell programs, IMHO. Note that Java, and the JVM, doesn't …

So the story goes (I'm probably just regurgitating some marketing)... The founder has a software background, and built out a software service to track energy usage and deliver data…
