Interesting, I didn't know that! I suppose I could edit my post accordingly, maybe a better example would be "the pharmacy won't let me get a refill until the date written on my pr…

Dealing with dates becomes much simpler conceptually when you realize that you are actually dealing with two different ideas masquerading as one: dates, and the actual instants in …

Docker has made this much much easier than it used to be, and the ease of publishing images has led to many SaaS companies providing "dockerized" versions of their services. I writ…

Not to mention indirectly subsidised by ignoring the externalities imposed on the health of ourselves and our environment.

Fossil fuel being heavily subsidised kind of undermines both of your points.

Sometimes you're using git in a context where you don't control the filenames, or where a potential attacker could influence or fully control them, at which point edge cases like t…

Poob has it for you.

I doubt you need an LLM for that, a diffusion model or perhaps even a deep CNN could probably do a passable job. You could train it by taking consecutive triplets of images [A, B, …

My equally uninformed guess is that the presence of six empty boxes communicates that the code entered must be exactly six digits long in a way that a generic text input doesn't. I…

So I don't have to spend 10-15 minutes saving all my open files (including the scratchpad ones I haven't named) and then later reopening all my applications, recreating all of my t…

Not that it detracts from your point, but PowerShell defined Linux-like aliases for PowerShell commands, not the old CMD.exe binaries. So ls would actually match the behavior and a…

Ah yeah, I guess I assumed by the use of the term "contructor" that GP meant a language like Python or Java, and in some cases it can difficult to prevent misuse by making an unsaf…

Given that the compiler can't enforce that users only enter valid data at compile time, the next best thing is enforcing that when they do enter invalid data, the program won't pro…

You can directly pass JSON to Terraform by putting it in a `.tfvars.json` file [1], as far as I can tell this has been supported since v0.5.0 which released in May 2015. Terraform …

I look forward to the news stories about people getting lost because they used 100x "zoom" to read a distant sign.

The -a models are typically released in the spring, the Pixel 9a was only just released in April of this year, so I wouldn't expect to see a Pixel 10a until March or April of 2026.…

Well, I hate Microsoft as much as the next person, but I'm not sure "writing a buggy kernel module can crash the kernel" is much of an indictment of Windows in particular...
