Me reading that: cancels immediately, never returns.

I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream.

If anyone wants a hint.

It is amazing.

Well. To Java that’s just a string of utf-8 characters, assuming you haven’t bastardised the encoding, and it’s just yanked out of an HTTP entity. So of course they’re different.

If you’re using some json parser and object mapping library (like Jackson) then all bets are off 'cause it could be configured any which way.

On every other language and library it’s whatever the defined behaviour is.

3/10

It’s not paranoia if they really are trying to kill scam you.

IMHO you probably now have the right amount of scepticism.

Banks’ system are probably already compromised and don’t even know it.

I did this until I moved to an ISP that cared about IPv6.

It was almost trivial even with the ISP’s PoS router.

El Reg pulls no punches.

Convenience link for people interested in the ligatures:

I’m really appreciating your use of &c.

Are you in the nineteenth century by any chance?

Yet.

As IPv4 blocks get scarcer and ISP’s get more customers, they’ll all eventually have to move to IPv4 CGNAT.

And that’s completely fine for most people.

If you’re not one of those people, then IPv6 is your saviour.

I use IPv6 at home, I selected my last few ISP’s because they had IPv6. Left one ISP when they removed IPv6 🤦‍♂️ .

If you can choose ISP choose one that offers IPv6 and let them know why.

Derp, here’s me trying to figure out what “98X” was referring to.

We probably have slightly different work processes.

I’m more likely to be making “foo” functionally complete and then making “bar” complete than I am to be making all my dialogs functional then all my tabs/whatever.

This comes from TDD where I’m making a test pass for “foo”, once done, I’ll do the same for “bar”.

Though it’s even more likely these are different files entirely, rendering the arguments moot.

Depends on the language’s constraints, but yes: more smaller files please!

Meh, a class is just a struct of function pointers.

That’s because they are romance languages. They come from Latin where word order is irrelevant as each “word” has a different form for the specific use.

That’s actually filtering not sorting.

That being said, it’s more valuable (to me) to be able to find all my things for a topic quickly rather than type.

Foo_dialog

Foo_action

Foo_map

Bar_dialog

Bar_action

Bar_map

Is superior IMHO.

Straight from the Boeing book.

In the last few years, IMHO, single core performance has been irrelevant (for me personally and professionally).

Almost everything can be parallelized, it’s just a bit harder to implement.

I’ve found disk I/O to be the biggest bottleneck recently, PCIe 5.0 NVMe has done more for speed than an extra few MHz have in years.

It came over the wire as text! How did you turn it into that?

Gold.
