If you’re random Joe Schmoe who happens to need a database, I don’t expect you to contribute. But when you’re of the largest tech firms in the world…

Is kill -11 even allowed?

On the other hand, the OOM killer is worst of all: “kill process or sacrifice child.”

For the benefit of anyone reading this later, the function to check end-of-file should be feof, not foef.

It actually makes some sort of weird sense if you can get past the inconsistent labeling. Since it’s a daycare, each option is probably an enrollment period, and they are arranged in reverse chronological order. Still weird, but perhaps not as outrageous as it initially appears.

Just what we’ve been waiting for!

That’s a great point. In any sort of enterprise system, you should be unit-testing your front end when you commit, and you should be UI-testing your front end before you deploy. If you’re in a CI/CD pipeline, that normally happens right after the build step. If you need to have the pipeline running anyways, you might as well build.

I’m on Hover. They’ll host and email inbox for you, but not a website.

Not quite sure what you’re looking for, but I think Dreamhost can just hand you an Ubuntu box you can SSH or SFTP to to manage your site.

NEMA has called them “plugs” and “receptacles” for decades.

You forgot “don’t say ‘thank you for pointing out that we were sending social security numbers to everyone who visits our website that anybody could stumble across,’ but rather ‘you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, hacker!’” Courtesy of the Missouri Department of Education.

Probably for the best.

I got news for you. If you’re not a citizen of the country you’re located in and you don’t have a work visa for that country, you’re probably working illegally, whether or not your employer realizes. (Some exceptions for EU citizens, Canada, etc.)

Re: too lazy for Let’s Encrypt, a) last I used LE (for my personal site), your site had to be publicly available on the Internet so that you could prove you controlled the site. Most test servers are not public. and b) many (most?) companies would throw a fit if you started generating your own certificates for their domains.

But there are always solutions. I was able to talk my company into getting properly signed certs for our test servers.

I’m not sure I want my banking apps to store anything on my phone in the first place. But maybe that’s just me. I don’t even use banking apps.

If you use JavaScript, you’ve probably seen a monad, since Promise is a monad. Unit is Promise.resolve(), bind is Promise.then(). As required, Promise.resolve(x).then(y) === y(x) (unit forms a left identity of bind), y.then(Promise.resolve) === y (unit forms a right identity of bind), and x.then(y.then(z)) === x.then(y).then(z) (bind is essentially associative).

You even have the equivalent of Haskell’s fancy do-notation (a form of syntactic sugar to save writing unit and bind all over the place) in the form of async/await. It’s just not generalized the way it is in Haskell.

Rather than messing with the EventListener, wouldn’t it be easier to just throttle the function that it calls? You can find a bunch of articles online that will explain how to implement a throttle (and also a debouncer, which is similar, but not quite what you’re looking for; a throttle allows a function to be called immediately unless it’s already been called too recently, while a debouncer waits every time before calling the function and restarts the wait timer every time someone tried to call the function).

Unless you’re on a contract. If you’re in the US and you’re not sure if you’re on a contract, you’re not on a contract. At-will goes both ways.

Check what your testing organization is using first. We’re using Selenium at work, except for one small team that used Cypress because they couldn’t be bothered to find out what the test of us were using, so now that team is faced with either maintaining their own version of the CI pipeline and their own tooling (and not having anyone to ask for advice) or rewriting all of their tests. Not an enjoyable choice to have to make.

It’s absolutely gorgeous! I love it.
