Function/Method names, on the other hand, should be written so as to make the most sense to the humans reading and writing the code
Of course—that’s why we have such classics as stristr(), strpbrk(), and stripos(). Pretty obvious what the differences are there.
But to your point, the ‘intuitive’ counterpart to ‘zeroth’ is the item with index zero. What we have is a mishmash of accurate and colloquial terms for the same thing.
Most humans wouldd never write the word first followed by (). It absolutely should have been zeroth(), and would not cause any confusion amongst anyone who needed to write it.
Anything’s a regex if you’re brave enough.
Partially. The summary isn’t quite in line with the detail:
Android is the only operating system that fully immunizes VPN apps from the attack because it doesn’t implement option 121. For all other OSes, there are no complete fixes. When apps run on Linux there’s a setting that minimizes the effects, but even then TunnelVision can be used to exploit a side channel that can be used to de-anonymize destination traffic and perform targeted denial-of-service attacks.
All good points—did you mean “tiny violin mode”, or have I been misunderstanding that song for a long time?

I’ve been using AWS R53 for this for ages and it works well. Not specifically recommending AWS but using dynamic updates rather than a DDNS service (or running your own name server which I’ve also done).
Is there any good reason to limit a text field like that these days? Although, UCAS probably still rocking a System/360…
Whoever downvoted this just thinks it’s the arrow to scroll down to the comments.
It’s in the article:
This swapping is powered by an OpenType feature called “contextual alternates,” which is widely supported by both operating systems and browser engines.
It’s a big of a problem.
But why on earth would you elect to name this contraption of yours the giant death—oh I see.
Just going for cigarettes…
I’m going to get back to watching that later.

Close. It was the Giant Death Ray.
After its scheduled departure. They know…
So I’m normally a command line fan and have used git there. But I’m also using sublimerge and honestly I find it fantastic for untangling a bunch of changes that need to be in several commits; being able to quickly scroll through all the changed files, expand & collapse the diffs, select files, hunks, and lines directly in the gui for staging, etc. I can’t see that being any faster / easier on the command line.
