Hm, on each interview since ever, every time the inevitable "where do you see yourself in X years" question popped up, I was like, I have no ambition of getting promoted to manager…

> Over the past few months, our former payment provider Nexi S.p.A. (“Nexi”) requested access to private data, which we understood to be specifically the usernames and passwords of…

I'm probably missing something obvious, but diff seems to be handling this just fine? # diff -u

Yeah. The design pattern sounds like there is one state, and it is shared. What STL has looks like, all instances look the same, hence only one state is possible. They are homonyms…

Yeah, I have my doubts about the claim. I forgot what I read way back when as an intro book, but I suspect it was more like a month in my case, if that. But I remember having been …

An option if it gets way off would be to just express it as TZ shift. Current rate seems to be about a second every two years, so we have some hundreds of years before we need to e…

I think you meant "I don't doubt"? Because none of what you said sounds like a counterargument to what the parent said.

Plug in a second mouse then? The trick that I heard is to just place the mouse on a clock. The second hand jiggles the mouse every minute. Can be stashed away in a drawer or someth…

OK, I suppose this could be arranged. The seal has to be over the whole of the "back side" of the envelope, where the flap is. Then put the address and the postage over that, and t…

You send the envelope unsealed, then seal & stamp it later.

I think they mean that a lot of runtime of any benchmark is going to be spent in the C bits of the standard library, and therefore not subject to the JIT. Only the glue code and th…

I used m4 to that effect to generate some set-like and map-like strongly-typed classes for a j2me project. Must have been 15 years ago. For C and C++ in particular, X macros are an…

I think it is. The capitalization is like that because the project name is xCurl, with x. Maybe they should have called it eCurl?

FWIW even in my metal days I recognized that the kind of (mostly black) metal that I enjoyed was fairly close to some of my brother's techno that I happened liking. All those droni…

I'm with you on this, but is there a way to force input file to read in AWK? That would be a reason to choose the while loop over AWK's implicit iteration. In particular, overridin…

I think it's playing a similar argument as the GP with US-guns-per-Czech-person. OK, Czechia is a bigger part of Europe than Montana is of US, but it looks as if Montana was picked…

I like how this applies to commit messages and patchset cover letters as well. You write the whys and wherefores to both explain to others what's going on, as well as to make sure …

I don't think it's anything "reasonable". Like, OK, there might be objective reasons why you need to clarify which technical term you mean by a word that has multiple meanings in y…

For me, all the image URL's end up in a slash. Open in new tab, cut the slash, the image loads.

Not an operating system, more like a desktop environment.

Plus kids are generally noisy, in a way that's optimized to get your attention as a grown-up. I had to move out to an external office. There were more reasons than just noise -- we…

If you haven’t yet developed your Emacs muscle memory, consider taking a look at Evil. I switched about 7 years ago after well over a decade of using the default Emacs text editor.…

All the team projects have that as an implicit element, don't they? In order to arrive at a solution, the team has to talk, divide labor, etc.

The number is randomly-generated BTW :)
