I usually use jq to understand the structure of the file. `keys` will get you all the key names in an object; `with_entries(.value |= type)` will replace each element on an object …

With words that have meanings? To the layperson, "data center" and "supercomputers" translates to "tech stuff". "AWS is a service by Amazon that runs software for you in computers …

It definitely has to do with low salaries: by Spanish standards, I'd say that's a good job offer. Sure, the range advertised is too broad to be useful, but at least there is one; a…

That doesn't directly translate to a color requirement in the font, though.

This is about icon fonts and font rendering and has nothing to do with Unicode. Code points don't have colour; there's no colour requirements anywhere in the spec. Your fonts don't…

The crucial point is that XSS vulnerabilities are an application level issue. If you have an XSS vulnerability, your application is broken. Good development practices prevent XSS v…

Working touch screens are useless without usable touch UIs.

The git support is a big deal. I loathe SourceTree and the like, but VSC is basically a better `git add -p` for me.

Well, for one, they make about 50% of full measures, give or take.

So, if they aren't willing to go through whatever random whiteboard bullshit you decide is due, then they can't join your company? Sounds like you're doing them a favor, not the ot…

Hilariously, PHP supports this on its date/time formatting functions: http://php.net/manual/en/function.idate.php

That doesn't even make sense.

Well, yes. Everything else I've mentioned is also dependant on cultural contexts that may vary dramatically over time. I surely hope Facebook hasn't won forever. For what it's wort…

Code collaboration tools have a strong network effect due to them being ultimately social tools, and we expect categories affected by the network effect to have winner/losers mecha…

While I understand the sentiment, this conflates up-front design with compile-time safety, and opposes the latter to "quick, spontaneous changes". However, I feel that my iteration…

He did not "die", he was murdered.

Wasn't this possible in every release since Vista?

This is going beyond ridiculous.

Agreed on Mono hardly being production-ready until recently: that said, Unity uses Mono extensively for production purposes.

Oh, no, it's not your IBAN. It's a number that looks like a credit card number, but the card it points to is actually a debit card.

I'm European and I'm yet to find a credit card field where I can't put my debit card number. I'm not sure I understand what you're saying.

Sure, because a coin is evaluated on its capacity to map to an even distribution of outcomes. Drug possessions, however, are almost surely not an even distribution. If, say, 95% of…

> No, I don't buy that a code formatting tool obviates the need for design patterns. How does gofmt replace the Visitor pattern (just to pick one at random from the GoF)? Asking if…
