And then they just push a new commit without the files, completely unaware that git keeps all versions of the code? I feel like this repo is going to disappear.

Which is fine when people do not reject the answers that are different from what they were expecting. Learning that the problem you have is a reason that noone does this, is a valid thing to learn.

It’s usually when I see people moving the goal posts on replies, or complaining that they didn’t answer the exact question that i see as frustrating. Or “I don’t want to do that” with no more info.

But if you are aware of other solutions, you should state that in the question and give your reasons. It’s a waste of time if you know someone might suggest what you have dismissed already.

The html question is a classic for this, they want to find non self closed tags. Why? Why can’t they use a parser? What are they doing with this info? All questions that would give you a good idea on how the problem can be solved. Playing with regex would be a valid answer to that, but is not stated. Unfortunately I find so’s format discourages extra interrogation.

The answer is not an attack on the person, but a frustration at the people before that ignored previous answers to use a parser.

Except in 99% of cases the person is asking an xy problem, and if they ever explained the why, they would get a proper answer.

Often the reason no one does the hyper-specific thing, is that there are better non code solutions, it’s massively insecure, or is just stupid micromanaging.

I tell non techy people to use a physical book that they can secure. People know how to do hide things or put them in a safe. Digital security is harder to understand and I would say a book in a safe place is way better than reusing passwords they find hard to remember.

I think the reason they drop these things is that the project leaders move on and one one wants to take that job anymore. If there is no one to push it, no one cares and it gets axed. The person that setup Google+ probably wasn’t around after it launched, so momentum was just completely lost.

Calling them greedy gives them more credit than the apathy they had to begin with.

Can replace go to lunch with come back after the weekend.

For me it was the Microsoft intellimouse, the led one. It had 5 buttons, one on each side so it was also ambidextrous. Now I have a mouse graveyard box.

You’re not safe there either, they had almost the same issue on the Linux version of the product a few months ago.

Windows update is definitely milestones. 30% is the “reboot milestone” so if it shows less, it needs to reboot to finish applying.

I think that is electrostatics + relativity.

HumanFemales and HumanM both inherit from the Ape base class, it’s from an older java code base. We tried to change it once but it turned out the person that had written had retired and any changes we made just broke stuff.

This change has basically no effect for anyone on a free workspace. Since you can’t read those messages anyway. It only matters if you were going to go paid.

I think it’s more likely that slack has decided that all free workspaces that would upgrade, probably have, and they don’t want to store all those messages that aren’t going to be read anyway.

I feel like why not just print to pdf from your pdf viewer?

Doesn’t have to be update and shutdown, I will click shutdown and it just reboots. Even disabled fast startup, so it’s not getting a wake event just as it’s hibernating.

Eff has a better list imo. Diceware has a tonne of short abbreviations like “1st”. Eff is words that are mostly 5 to 8 characters long. Much more xkcd like and easier to make a mnemonic out of.

Because 48 bits over 32 bits does not really solve the problems with ip4. 128 bits basically gives one ip4 address space to each square meter of earth. Ip6 also drops all the unused and silly parts of ip4 too.

Since you added a question mark, commands is the correct general term. However there are two types that can be a command. Functions: which are written in pure powershell and cmdlets: which are commands provided by dotnet classes. (Also exes and a bunch of other stuff common to other shells can be a command, but that’s not important.)

The reason they have different names is early on functions didn’t support some of the features available to cmdlets, such as pipeline input. There was later a way to add this support to functions.

In practice call them any of the 3 and people will know that you mean.

It’s been getting “more and more use” since 2001. To start with the isps said that they were not going to do any work to implement it until endpoints supported it. Then vista came with support by default. Next they wanted the backbones to support it. All tier 1 networks are now dual stack. Then they said they were not going to do anything until websites supported it widely. Now all cdns support it. Then they said, it’s ok we will just do mass nat on everyone so won’t do any work on it.

It’s guaranteed that Google will create a version of chrome of the EU market as well. Yea it’s another big tech, but app devs having the same browser engine working on iOS and droid will be a boon. Since ff has the android app already, it’s also not like they will have a new greenfield development for it.

Strangely player numbers are up. Usually when you see it drop to 3 figures it won’t go back.
