Wouldn’t you think that the coffee pays for itself when you factor in productivity?
I have to run the .ps1 script in a new Command Prompt because the compilation takes a few minutes
I don’t follow this reasoning. Is it because you don’t want to take over the VSCode terminal with a long command? Couldn’t you can open multiple tabs, or run in the background, or use screen/tmux, etc.?
YAML is the Excel of data formats due to the Norway Problem
Until then, we have simdjson https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson
Because now touch does two things.
Without touch, we could “just” use the shell to create files.
: > foo.txt
To bonbatenate files?
That it’s dry and boring and even I must hate it because there’s no place for creativity in a technical field.
SELECT food FROM menu WHERE name LIKE ‘Fried %’;
Yup!! Never look under the hood in software, you’ll just be disappointed ☹️
Maybe it’s a myth, but it sure sounds plausible. The software that checks the “Windows 9” substring doesn’t even have to exist for this to be reason they chose to skip to version 10 — they just had to be concerned that it might exist.
Sure, maybe there’s no C function that returns the string, but there’s a ver
command. It would be trivial to shell out to the command. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ver_(command)
This doesn’t prove anything, but there are a TON of examples of code that checks for the substring. It’s not hard to imagine that code written circa 2000 would not be future proof. https://sourcegraph.com/search?q=context:global+“\“windows+9\””&patternType=keyword&sm=0
Can’t call it Windows 9
But that actually made sense! They care about backwards compatibility.
For those not in the know: some legacy software checked if the OS name began with “Windows 9” to differentiate between 95 and future versions.
The third contender: the mighty embedded developer.
Why can’t we see them?
They are embedded in the wall. 🥁
At least it was better than CVS
I propose a new, more threatening kind of control flow.
do {
/* something */
} or else {
/* you don't want to find out */
}
Yikes. Soon you’ll need to buy a Faraday cage that fits your TV and sofa.
Even that would be technically incorrect. I believe you could put an A record on a TLD if you wanted. In theory, my email could be me@example
.
Another hole to poke in the single dot regex: I could put in fake@com.
with a dot trailing after the TLD, which would satisfy “dot after @” but is not an address to my knowledge.
Aka “vim turds”
Did you know my grandfather was an alien? That makes me 1/4 alien and it’s the reason I have x-ray eyes.
The needlessly learned dogs are flooding the job market!
