Chrome changing the rules again? Unpossible! Still, the good news is that people are leaving chrome for ff, safari, new ie, so soon, it will be less of a problem. Hurrah!
This is the kind of stuff you want running in a service out side of a micro kernel, but as we are stuck with systemd/gnu/linux systems, this is what we have...
I could further into the rant, I'm ...stunned by parsing logic crippled as type specific functions.
Why does `strscpy_truncate(dst,src,count)` exist at all ? it seem like a generic buffer/array `take(dst,src,count)`. And how problematic would be to use a compiled regex to parse "major:minor", or proper logic by seeking for ':' and read before after that point.
Depends - are we hiring brogrammers or precious snowflake developers who must be feted and every desire fulfilled to keep them happy - and let them keep producing the crap bogging down the web as we know it?
Don't underrate bbsing... the best BBS interfaces were clean, artistic and didn't have a sense of information overload. The same holds true today, especially with mobile.
Some days I think I would gladly go back to BBSes. The medium was so raw and exciting back then, in a way the modern web has never recreated with all its bells and whistles.
The Simpsons and HN have a lot in common - both still feasting on previous glories, both past their sale by date, both not even realising how tragic they have now become.
Yep. Chrome had its moment in the sun, helped push some vital changes in the web ecosystem in its day, but now it has become a parody browser. When it is not crashing it is a fragile thing that seems to break every page, despite the fact all the web gurus try to optimise for it.
And how much system resource does it want? Makes me miss simple browsers like Dillo.
So, the end user of the site has no say? They should be thankful they are even allowed to cast their eyes on such a technical masterpiece? Developer or not, people can spot a worrying trend of website "developers" who cannot develop - they just bolt bits and frameworks together without a consideration for the end users.
It is an awful experience. Mobile data is often sketchy, but these bloated sites don't render a single thing until all the twenty tons of front end crap is downloaded, and all to view a tiny static chunk of text. But hey, they got to use react, a metric shit ton of the latest CSS wankery, and it is connected to every social meejia platform!
Because the modern "developers" don't know how to do so. They barely manage to bolt together a backend that scaffolded everything magically for them, to react, less, and other "magic" they followed pavlovian style from blog postings.
It's true - the professor awarded everyone who turned up to class that day fifty percent, just for turning up!
One student then started to question that decision - the professor said "aha - critical reasoning! Very good, extra marks for you!".
Another then said they would write to the dean to complain, the professor said "excellent, I will award even more marks to you in anticipation of your written effort".
I liked where he had to track down one patient because he had left the keys to the summer condo inside after they fell in during the operation!
Makes you think...
My name is not Richard, or any abbreviations of it!
But yes, I do actually know people who have have to have subsequent ops, where material was found from an earlier op. Not as uncommon as you would think, sadly.
