    1. As has been mentioned this is a take on the Prince and the Pauper story that may not appeal to those who are into art films and like to sit around discussing and dissecting a film's philosophical nuances. If, on the other hand, you simply like a fun story, gorgeous sets, and yes, the occasional over-the-top scene, this can be a thoroughly enjoyable tale of a man who is willing to put the woman he loves ahead of himself.
    2. I almost didn't watch this movie due to the repetitive negative reviews here on IMDb. Usually I find reviews here fairly spot-on. But in this case I am convinced we are living in a generation of viewers who have been raised on so much schlock, sex, violence, blood and foul language that they wouldn't recognize a prime movie if it whacked them with a hammer. Either that or we have a set of the most bogus witch-hunt reviews ever.
    1. ``` function download(url, fileName) { const link = document.createElement("a"); const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();

      xhr.open('GET', url, true); xhr.responseType = 'blob'; xhr.onload = function() { file = new Blob([xhr.response], { type: 'application/octet-stream' }); link.href = window.URL.createObjectURL(file); link.download = fileName; document.body.appendChild(link); link.click(); setTimeout(() => { link.parentNode.removeChild(link); }, 0); } xhr.send() }

      url = document.querySelector('#player').dataset.mediaUrl; fileName = url.replace(/.(202\d)\/(\d\d)-(\d\d).\/([^/]).mp3/, '$1-$2-$3-$4') + '-' + document.querySelector('.epHeader h2').textContent + '--' + document.querySelector('.epDesc').textContent.replace(/^\s/g, "").slice(0, 200) + '.mp3';

    1. I know this bug is labeled invalid and I know the devs don't want to address the issue further...but if anyone reads this I'd really like to know if there is some way *advanced* FF users can enable cross-origin downloads. I mean, c'mon, the case against allowing cross-origin downloads is built on the premise that users could unknowingly download a file from a site containing their own personal information (e.g., gmail.com) and save it using a misleading name (e.g. "30off.coupon.txt") AND THEN proceed to another malicious page where they directly go and upload that same file they just downloaded. I mean c'mon. Seriously?? Anyone who's gonna fall for that deserves to lose their personal information. I'm all for browser security, but I think a simple preference in about:config to enable cross-origin a@download is in order. Please consider. Thank you.

      .

    1. The Bugzilla issues don't seem to rule-out the possibility of using CORS for cross-origin download attribute support in the future, but right now using CORS headers does not do anything for the download attribute. It's possible that if other browsers start supporting the attribute, a consensus may yet be reached.

      .

    1. This actually is possible with JavaScript, though browser support would be spotty. You can use XHR2 to download the file from the server to the browser as a Blob, create a URL to the Blob, create an anchor with its href property and set it to that URL, set the download property to whatever filename you want it to be, and then click the link. This works in Google Chrome, but I haven't verified support in other browsers. window.URL = window.URL || window.webkitURL; var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(), a = document.createElement('a'), file; xhr.open('GET', 'someFile', true); xhr.responseType = 'blob'; xhr.onload = function () { file = new Blob([xhr.response], { type : 'application/octet-stream' }); a.href = window.URL.createObjectURL(file); a.download = 'someName.gif'; // Set to whatever file name you want // Now just click the link you created // Note that you may have to append the a element to the body somewhere // for this to work in Firefox a.click(); }; xhr.send();
    1. A development container allows you to use a container as a full-featured development environment. It can be used to run an application, to separate tools, libraries, or runtimes needed for working with a codebase, and to aid in continuous integration and testing.
    1. At this point, you’ll want to mow your grass 3-5 times. This amounts to roughly once per week. Do this before walking on it.

      How do you mow a lawn without walking on it? :)

      I think they mean "optional" kinds of walking on it other than mowing, but it still seems contradictory.

      I think this one made more sense: https://hyp.is/Hyh4YuhXEeyNCrckBwtGgg/www.backyarddigs.com/lawn-care/how-long-after-planting-grass-seed-can-you-walk-on-it/

      Add in another two or so weeks for the grass to grow tall enough for its first mowing, at which point you have no choice but to walk over the area.

    1. Logically, if you just want a distinct list of event_id values, what order they occur in should be irrelevant. If order does matter, then you should add the start_time to the SELECT list so that there is context for the order.
    2. The ORDER BY clause can only be applied after the DISTINCT has been applied. Since only the fields in the SELECT statement are taken into consideration for the DISTINCT operations, those are the only fields may be used in the ORDER BY.
    3. an alternative to Matthew's answer is using an aggregate function like MIN or MAX for the sorting: SELECT event_id FROM Rsvp GROUP BY event_id ORDER BY MIN(start_time)

      .

    4. I just went through a small example in my head which helped me understand why Postgres has this seemingly odd restriction on SELECT DISTINCT / ORDER BY columns.

    1. Remove the commit from step 2. We will merge ignoring the failure. Remove the commit from the other, check it passes with the other commit now on main. Merge the other. We will trigger builds for the main branch of affected repositories to check if everything is in order. Steps 5-8 should happen continuously (e.g. one after another but within a short timespan) so that we don't leave a broken main around. It is important to triage that build process and revert if necessary.

      It is important to not leave a broken main around.

    1. We document the order of hooks, but I don't think we document where in that order we integrate Rails helpers which makes this confusing, I do sort of think this is a bug but as we use RSpec to integrate Rails here and RSpec Core has no distinction that matches before / after teardown its sort of luck of the draw, we could possibly use prepend_after for Rails integrations which would sort of emulate these options.
    1. 1/ It fits into existing spec based testing infrastructure nicely, including running on travis, code coverage using SimpleCov, switching between generating a profile (RubyProf), a benchmark (Benchmark::IPS) or normal test run. 2/ Some of my benchmarks do have expect clauses to validate that things are working before invoking the benchmark.

      Answering the question:

      I don't understand the point of putting it in a spec. What does that gain you over using benchmark-ips the normal way?

    2. I think RSpec should provide around(:context)/around(:all). Not because of any particular use case, but simply for API consistency. It's much simpler to tell users "there are 3 kinds of hooks (before, after and around) and each can be used with any of 3 scopes (example, context and suite)". Having some kinds of hooks work with only some kinds of scopes makes the API inconsistent and forces us to add special case code to emit warnings and also write extra documentation for this fact.
    3. we routinely choose not to add or expand features we think are a bad idea, or simply that aren't in popular demand, not because we're "saving the dummies' asses" but because adding new features creates a maintenance burden upon ourselves which cannot easily be undone. Once a version of RSpec supports something its there until a next major version which could be a long time away, we have several features already that we don't recommend extensive use of (expect_any_instance_of for example, we'd recommend not using it but we know there is popular demand for it so we maintain despite the extra burden it causes) so we're understandably not keen to increase that number.
    1. Giants that prefer the hyphenated spelling—Merriam-Webster, The Chicago Manual of Style, and The New Yorker, have a good reason for doing so. E-mail is a compound noun, made out of two words—“electronic” and “mail.” The e in e-mail is an abbreviation for “electronic,” and it’s used in a lot of other words as well—e-commerce, e-learning, and e-business, for example. There are also other compound nouns formed from an abbreviation and a noun, like the H-bomb, which is short for hydrogen bomb. The general rule of hyphenation in compound words that combine a single letter (or a number) and a word is to hyphenate them. So, based on tradition, e-mail is the correct way to do it.
    1. lationship (offset) to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). (This is distinct from some usage in scheduling applications where a local time and location may be known, but the actual relationship to UTC may be dependent on the unknown or unknowable actions of politicians or administrators. The UTC time corresponding to 17:00 on 23rd March 2005 in New York may depend on administrative decisions about daylight savings time. This specification steers well clear of such considerations.
    1. I'm disappointed because the image for this item is misleading. It has clearly been altered to appear that the balls/marbles that come with the set are larger than they actually are. If you look closely at the picture, you can tell that the balls were digitally edited in to the original image.I have a child who still likes to chew on toys, and only purchased this for him because it appears in the image that the balls are much too large to be a risk for choking. In actuality, they're about the size of marbles and a very high choking risk.Misrepresenting this in the photo is potentially dangerous
    1. GNU cmp compares two files byte by byte and prints the location of the first difference. We can pass the -s flag to find out if the files have the same content.

    1. Some people have expressed surprise end even doubt that it could be faster to read the files twice than reading them just once. Perhaps I didn't manage to explain very clearly what I was doing. I am talking about cache pre-loading, in order to have the files in disk cache when later accessing them in a way that would be slow to do on the physical disk drive. Here is a web page where I have tried to explain more in detail, with pictures, C code and measurements.
    2. Remember the caching. Reading two files sequentially into memory from the physical disk can be faster than reading them both in parallel, alternating between them (moving the read head back and forth). Everything you do later, with all the data cached in memory, is relatively much faster. But yes, it depends on the data, and this is an average. Two files that actually do differ in the beginning will be faster to compare byte by byte.
    1. You should mentioned what you listed after the word try_files. Here's what I ended up using that seemed to work: try_files $uri $uri/index.html $uri.html /index.html; The /index.html at the end needs to match the fallback: 'index.html' part of your adapter-static config. Otherwise going directly to a route that doesn't have a matching file at that path -- such as any route with a dynamic param like [id] -- will result in a 404.
    1. Keep in mind static here does not refer to the content on the page! Static sites can still be reactive, communicate with APIs, etc. it just means that the website package, aka the contents of the build directory that you upload to your host, doesn’t ever change.
    1. Both solutions to insert <hr /> a horizontal line seem insane to me. You can insert nearly anything but an actual horizontal line. pray for a solution. But no actual <hr /> I can find.

      Why is there no easy way to insert a


      ??

    1. HTML <hr> element: The prior warning is doubly important because there is a tendency to associate the term “horizontal rule” with the HTML <hr> element. LO does not generate this HTML element, either in ODT XML or when exporting to HTML, regardless of the type of horizontal rule used. This, and the preference to use styles in deference to graphic objects may also have influenced the decision to remove the Insert > Horizontal Rule… menu option and associated gallery.

    1. However, these implicit dependencies may cause problems when running Bazel in an airgapped environment, even if you have vendored all of your WORKSPACE dependencies. To solve that, you can prepare a distribution directory containing these dependencies on a machine with network access, and then transfer them to the airgapped environment with an offline approach.

    1. Two big cons:- Can't save in the middle of a mission, and you don't know in advance how long a mission takes. (I'm too old for long playing sessions, and my kid who likes to play this with me, is too young.)

      .

    2. The game has no respect for your time. Saves? Nope, doesn't have them. You have to play each level through to completion in order to move onto the next one. If it had even a save and exit feature it would change my opinion dramatically.

      .

    3. Next, the game -does- have saves, but the devs couldn't figure out how to serialize data mid-mission and read/write a save file. "It was technically impossible due to our decision not to do it." Again, playing your game is actually not the most important thing in my life, and I don't want to spend an hour doing most of a mission only to be called away by real life and then have to start over. I get that you're apparently licensing a black-box physics engine which doesn't give you insight into its immediate state - that shouldn't matter. If you have access to the variables in memory, which you have to do for the game to run, you can serialize those variables.

    4. I could love this game so easily. First off I enjoy God Games in general; Populous used to be my first exposure and remained my favourite for a long time. Secondly, the art is funky, and the creatures all make appropriate noises. Seriously, that really adds to the amount of fun I have with a game. It's also a Goldilocks game for me -- not too simple, but also not overwhelmingly complicated, so it's just right for those times when my brain isn't necessarily at its best, but I am not ready to go to bed yet, and I want something more interesting than point-and-click, yet Civilization is way too demanding.The game has a lot of options, which I also enjoy -- you can play in story mode, where you can choose from 5 different missions, starting quite easily and ending with a real challenge. Or you can play in survival mode, with 3 different difficulty options plus complete customization. It is possible to play the game 100% peacefully, no pests, no enemies, no disasters at all, which is also something I prize when I want to relax. And you can make it unbearably hard on yourself, so there's definitely a lot of replay value here.

      .

    5. So why am I not recommending it? I want to! The developers generally did a pretty good job, and I like to reward that, especially with so many games on Steam that are abandonware.For one, it's aggravating that the AI is not smart enough. Mims don't seek rejuvenation in their house when they most need it, especially guardians who have nothing to do but guard the place. And yet, they don't recoup their energy easily enough, which means I have to micromanage constantly. Mims who get hurt badly don't march straight for home either, and can easily die on you ("too stupid to live" comes true). I ended up choosing a custom game with only the meekest pest at a low rate of invasion simply so I could figure out where the AI fell flat on its face, and alas there are many places. And while I can micromanage rejuvenation and attacks on pests/enemies, I cannot make my Mims cut down vegetation; I have to burn it, and the burn rate is not high enough at the start to deal with the regrowth rate. That alone wouldn't cause me to recommend against a game; I'd put up with that, because it is of course its own challenge to figure out a way to win within a game's constraints. I find methodical analysis and trial building fun in its own way.

      .

    6. But here's the deal breaker:You cannot save in this game. And it doesn't even warn you that it doesn't auto save; when you leave, that is it, your game is gone and you have to start over. You can't set up two different scenarios, compare them, and tweak each. If you want to spend some time carefully fine tuning your game's economy, you have to basically remain logged into it for days. Which totally distorts your hours spent, aside from taking up memory from other games you might want to play or from actual work. And if your computer crashes, it's all for naught anyway. If you build a masterpiece of Mims civilization, better screen print it and then kiss it goodbye, because there is no return to old glories.So I am sorry, but I cannot recommend it. If this doesn't bother you, by all means, I think it's well worth buying even at full price, because you can get many hours of gameplay out of it if you just don't leave the game. But for me, this is a death knell for a game; I lose all interest if I can't save my work to get back to it later.

    1. Zimbu is an experimental programming language.  It is a very practical, no-nonsense kind of language.  It mixes the good things of many existing languages and avoids their deficiencies.  And then throws in a few brand new ideas.
    1. I watched some of it to help me track it down. It's offensively bad with no redeeming qualities. Shame on Netflix for streaming it.

      Way to unabashedly call bad "bad" :)

    1. The developer purchased Survival Engine - Crafting Building Farming by Indie Marc from the Unity store to build his game.This in itself wouldn't be a problem - that's what assets are made for, after all - but the amount of customization they put in equals to almost zero.

    1. LEFT OUTER JOIN First, an inner join is performed. Then, for each row in T1 that does not satisfy the join condition with any row in T2, a joined row is added with null values in columns of T2. Thus, the joined table always has at least one row for each row in T1.
    2. A LATERAL item can appear at top level in the FROM list, or within a JOIN tree. In the latter case it can also refer to any items that are on the left-hand side of a JOIN that it is on the right-hand side of.

      Unlike with most joins (IIUC), order is important with lateral joins. Weird. Why?

      Maybe because it is equivalent to a cross join lateral (see example), and in an explicit cross join, you have a LHS and RHS?

    1. Why not just use a join and group by? SELECT AA.ID, COUNT(B.ID) as no_tx, min(B.DATE) as fday_tx, max(B.DATE) as lday_tx, AA.start_date, AA.end_date FROM (SELECT ID, min(DATE) as start_date, max(DATE) as end_date FROM MAIN_TABLE WHERE CODE = 'drugA' GROUP BY ID ) AA LEFT JOIN MAIN_TABLE b ON b.CODE = 'drugB' AND b.DATE > AA.start_date AND b.DATE < AA.end_date GROUP BY AA.ID, AA.start_date, AA.end_date;
    2. window functions: SELECT ID, SUM(CASE WHEN code = 'drugB' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as no_tx, MIN(CASE WHEN code = 'drugB' THEN DATE END) as fday_tx, MIN(CASE WHEN code = 'drugB' THEN DATE END) as lday_tx, start_date, end_date FROM (SELECT t.*, MIN(CASE WHEN code = 'drugA' THEN date END) as start_date, MAX(CASE WHEN code = 'drugB' THEN date END) as end_date FROM MAIN_TABLE t ) t WHERE code in ('drugA', 'drugB') AND date between start_date and end_date GROUP BY t.id;
    1. A fever makes the body less favorable to viruses and bacteria for replicating, which is temperature sensitive. Our grandparents knew this, but somewhere along the line mom’s began to believe a fever was dangerous for their child and would immediately try to lower it.
    2. When you lower your child’s temperature with medications such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen, you are hindering your child’s ability to fight the infection. A better strategy to quickly fight the infection is to raise their temperature. Or at least leave the fever be so it can do its job.
    1. I think there should be an easier way to declare that pages/components should not be rendered on the server. Not all client-side-only code is bad!

      Not all client-side-only code is bad

    1. In order to reflect this in the types I added an Either type to the helpers, because with Union Types only the values that the types have in common are directly accessible. So it would have been necessary to first check the returned type before accessing returned properties.

      What does this mean?

    1. It's always a good idea to avoid things like 'both', since it's not future-proof — if we decided we wanted to support method overrides via headers, for example (which is sometimes used to get around firewalls that disallow non-GET/POST requests), then 'both' would need to become 'all', which would be a breaking change.
    2. I agree about documenting everything. But for me docs are a last resort (the actual text, anything beyond skimming through code examples) when things already went wrong and I need to figure out why. But we can do much better. During dev when we see _method and methodOverride is disabled we can tell the developer that it needs to be enabled. Same if we see _method with something other than POST. Same for all other cases that are currently silently ignored. If the method is not in allowedMethods arguable it should even return a 400 in production. Or at the very least during dev it should tell you. We have the knowledge, let's not make the user run into unexpected behavior (e.g. silently ignoring _method for GET). Instead let's fail as loud as possible so they don't need to open their browser to actually read the docs or search though /issues. Let them stay in the zone and be like "oh, I need to set enabled: true, gotcha, thanks friendly error message".
    3. In contrast to fetch the only valid methods for a <form> are GET and POST. Svelte allows you to override the <form> method to workaround this limitation if you need to. That way your application can transparently work when JavaScript fails or is disabled by using fetch and <form> interchangeably with the same endpoint.

      rewritten version to be clearer and shorter

    1. It would be great if we could keep the existing behaviour for application/x-www-form-urlencoded, but we can't, because in their infinite wisdom the web's architects decided that a regular form submission should have that content type, but a fetch with the exact same data (i.e. body: new FormData(event.target)) will have a multipart/form-data content type. In order for endpoints to behave the same way with JS-triggered form submissions as JS-less ones, we need to have consistent behaviour.
    1. To make finally blocks of a sync generator to be always called use appropriate form of the loop, for await...of for the async generator and for...of for the sync one and await yielded promises explicitly inside the loop.

      .

    1. Caution: + continues the statement but not the string. puts "foo"+"bar".upcase gives you fooBAR, whereas puts ("foo"+"bar").upcase gives you FOOBAR. (Whether or not there's a newline after the +.) But: if you use a backslash instead of the plus sign, it will always give you FOOBAR, because combining lines into one statement, and then combining successive strings into one string, happen before the string method gets called.
    1. this is set 5 of 10. Previously Tyler's packs were release in sets of 50, but to help get monsters into the hands of creatives faster, he's releasing these smaller packs. When complete, there will be 10 packs in this set (80 total monsters).

      spin:

      Or, perhaps the reason for releasing them in smaller packs is... to make more money?!

    1. I'm concerned that supporting certain parts of the svelte javascript semantics in module scripts—that have so far been restricted to the instance script—could lead users to believe that everything is supported. Supporting store shorthand syntax but not reactive assignments and declarations could be confusing.

      could lead users to believe ... - could lead users to believe that everything is supported.

    3. I'm trying to prevent Firefox from updating in the middle of the work day. If I try to open a new tab I get "Firefox Restart Required". One of my always open tab is a Citrix connection back to a work server, and a restart tears down all those types of secure MFA sessions. One very insecure workaround is I went to Software & Updates and set the check update to "Never" and when there are security updates I only download and will update when i remember to do so. This is what Windows used to do many years ago, when you had to restart the OS at inconvenient times. So they are forcing us to restart the browser to keep secure, but folks like me are forced to manually update. Is there a way to disable the "Firefox Restart Required" without disabling all security updates?
    1. Note though that restarts are an essential part of updating software, by refusing to restart when you apply an update you are risking having a less stable software running as well as postponing what could be security updates and putting yourself at risk. There is a reason software asks for restarts and you absolutely should respect that.

      Software should never force something on the user. The user should always be the one in complete control. You can warn of the risks, but let the human decide what is best for the human at this exact moment. For example, they may just need to look something up. It may be an emergency. They may have private tabs that would be lost if they restarted now, and they need to wait until a better time.

      It's no different than Windows or other OS updates.

      See also: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1398179/firefox-restart-required-how-to-disable

    2. Not saying that occasionally there isn't a "feature only" release, but 99% of the time, the updates have fixes and many times they are of a critical security nature. FF, like others, has a responsibility and lawsuits to avoid.
    1. Yeah, without JS the internet is quite unusable today sadly. I suppose a lot of sites make JS mandatory because it allows better tracking and stuff like this. I hate it. So disabling JS completly via about:config is not a solution.

      .

      not cool

    2. > So disabling JS completly via about:config is not a solution. It is. Works for me (yes, no NoScript, the real thing). My main Firefox profile is like that, then I have a secondary profile for the cases I really need it for — that gets used less than once a month. Oh, and no cookies either. Luckily, hackaday works fine like that (even cookieless commenting: big kudos and thanks! That’s why I keep returning here). And LWN (I temporarily enable cookies to post), and more than 95% of the sites I care about. As it turns out, I care less and less for the other 5%: so this number is actually shrinking.
