Except it's never reproducible. It's a bug probably.
In Poland cashless payments thrive, more than in Germany.
Re:The bigger the interface, the weaker the abstraction on Sunday July 30, 2023 @05:51AM (#36929532)
It's principle, not principal.
Yes, that's absolutely possible. My company is making a b2b product. We have challenges and sometimes the scope of the new features can be huge. But I never felt big pressure.

What if you change the weights slightly? Kaboom, not breaking the copyright anymore.
Re:JavaScript Gom Jabbar on Monday July 03, 2023 @06:25AM (#36571025)
As a Java developer, why the hell does Javascript still doesn't have a equivalent of Gradle or Maven? An extensible build tool that does it all and uses sensible defaults?
How can ChatGPT translate a comedy show without knowing what's going on on screen, and various context that contribute to the humor?

As it has been said bazillion of times, the problem is that comments get outdated quickly. And yes, there is self descriptive code,and I'd wager 80 percent of the code is self descriptive. Comments should be reserved to describe something that might be surprising or not obvious. And for the apis.

And rightly so, because noone writes prose like that. It sounds unnatural.
This is a completely stereotypical and offensive view of extraverted people. You conflated them with loud and inconsiderate individuals. I suggest you read up on what extraversion is, because it's not pestering random people with small talk.
That's why the UE law that requires the shops to display the lowest price over last 30 days is pretty useful

Re:Detecting the use of “curl | bash” server side on Tuesday December 27, 2022 @10:14AM (#34149353)
As a side note: the culture or installing stuff via curl is like a virus. If you check the npm docs, they say "We strongly recommend using a Node version manager like nvm to install Node.js and npm". Then if you check nvm docs, the primary installation method is curl to bash, and not even from their official website - it pulls stuff from github...
