You can though? mySet.values().map(mappingFunc) will create a new iterator transformed by the mapping function.

I’m currently on a crusade against lodash where I work.

Jellyfin has some security issues that, depending on who you ask, are either critical vulnerabilities that make it completely unsafe to expose to the Internet or largely unconcerning for regular users.

There’s an edge case where you want the guys in balaclavas to show up.

C# also has verbatim strings, in which you can just put a literal newline.

string foo = @"This string 
has a line break!";

… I’m struggling to understand what you mean by “wider”. As in the physical size? It is slightly larger, but even so why is that a factor?

Yes

From the text it seems like a site only gets added to the navigation history if the user interacts with it.

For what it’s worth, in that specific example at least JSON parsing has been available as part of the base .NET libraries since .NET 3.

The WTF in the C# example seems to be that people don’t understand anonymous functions and closures?

That’s exactly what we ended up doing. Every story has now become one Fibonacci step higher than it would have been before.

Management where I work finally unbent and admitted that story points were time.

…but also want to continue raising velocity in each sprint.

I’m the primary developer for a third party tool for Elite Dangerous and this is basically my entire thought process when I want to work on it.

I could work on Observatory…

Or I could play some Elite…

Or I could just stare at my screen ineffectually for several hours.

Staring at the screen wins frighteningly often.

the quality was better

This very much depends on when you’re taking about. Over the air television when I was young was absolutely not better quality than any streaming service now. 480i delivered by an analog interference-prone signal definitely does not compare favourably to streaming.

I remember running screen irssi on a separate computer and sshing into the server, reconnecting the screen with irssi in it.

I still do that today.

“Imitation” very strongly implies that it is not in actuality the thing being imitated. Imitation butter is not butter. Imitation crab is not crab.

These medicines are the same chemical, therefore the same product.

I will however grant that while calling store brand painkillers “imitation ibuprofen” is nonsense, calling them “imitation advil” is okay because advil is a brand. Though in my opinion it should be avoided because it carries an implication of inferiority that is simply not the case.

I wouldn’t buy a new Seagate drive, let alone a refurbished one. Every Seagate I’ve ever owned died in less than five years. Every WD I’ve owned lasted until long after their capacity was so far outpaced by newer drives as to be useless.

Anecdotal, yes, but it’s happened enough to me that I’ve been soured on them for life.

As Edge comes pre-installed by default on Windows machines, users must navigate the Microsoft offering in order to download their browser of choice.

What’s the actual alternative they want here? That users look up download URLs on other devices and download their browser of choice via command line using cURL Invoke-WebRequest? That ISPs provide browser installers on USB sticks?

Also, it’s not like MS is cornering the market on browser share here. Even with this “unfair advantage” they’ve only scraped together a 5% slice of browser usage.

Even if you are confident in your Linux skills this isn’t a bad idea. I’ve seen too many OS installers put things on drives other than the one you choose to risk it at this point.

The dndmemes protests were a pretty incredible thing while they lasted. The mods changed the subreddit to “nsfw” because that disabled most of the monetization. Then Reddit admins told them the subreddit obviously wasn’t really nsfw and to change it to accurately reflect the subreddit content.

…so the mods changed the subreddit rules to allow actual nsfw content and people went nuts. In multiple senses of the term.

Of course “accurately reflecting the subreddit” wasn’t what Reddit really cared about. They wanted to preserve the advertising stream for a popular subreddit, and this did the opposite of that. Reddit admins soon after basically said “remove nsfw content, restore the subreddit to what it used to be, do what we say or we’ll replace you with a mod team of our own choosing”.
