A progress bar isn’t generally hard.

What is hard is making it move smoothly while still only incrementing and getting the correct time. But I don’t think there’s a single person that still cares about smoothness except for the very extreme cases. By now, everybody has learned they don’t work that way.

Anyway, about those extreme cases, just avoid filling the bar up to 99% on the first 10 seconds and leaving it there for the next 2 hours. Just do that and you’ll be already better than Microsoft, so nobody will complain.

If it’s AWS fault, it’s also their fault for choosing AWS.

Is it missing an apostrophe and a dash? Or they registered the wrong name?

Anyway, the use of quotes seem to have backfired. I blame Excel.

I have the second one, it takes about 2 minutes to make a cup of espresso, most of the time unattended, I’ve had it for 15 years, and yeah, it took some time to learn how to use at first.

I also use Debian, not Gentoo…

Did she look under the battery?

Doesn’t work anymore. It stops working as soon as you notice the code has always been wrong.

AFAIK, the first one was written in LISP.

The one most people push around here was written in Rust. It’s a really great language to write memory managers anyway.

No, it’s right.

Business intelligence is inconsiderate and must be stopped!

The GP is not describing a piezoelectric scale. And you won’t be able to find any piezoelectric scale that is anything similar to “cheap”.

Indexing by zero has a huge positive impact on the correctness of complex operations like joining intervals, that nobody trusts themselves to write anyway and always pack behind a well-verified library.

But I think the reason we have it is because C maps it almost immediately into memory offsets.

Oh, it’s been a while that my rm -r * .o taught me about backups.

It’s a way to provide standard configuration for your programs without one configuration interfering with another.

Honestly, almost all alternatives work better. But docker is the one you can run on any system without large changes.

All of that happens the exact opposite way when you compare Writer with Word.

And Presenter compared to Power Point has the clear answer that you shouldn’t use either.

Either way, Excel is the one good piece of software in MS Office. Has always been, and I don’t expect it to change in the future. (Except maybe if they decide to make Excel bad.) But that’s only as long as it always corrupting anything mildly complex doesn’t bother you.

I fully expect people to keep using a broken Xorg, not move into wayland, and not fork and keep it updated.

But the devs are free to do whatever they want. No opinions there. I wouldn’t want to maintain Xorg either.

Doesn’t wifi have its own retrial protocol? It’s been a long time since I’ve read the standard, but I think it’s almost lossless from the POV of TCP.

Depends on how you define “letter”, but they are definitively not alphabetical. They are ideographs.

I’d say that “alphabet” has no relation to the things on that string.

But yeah, it’s the Unicode Consortium that knows something about it, not Swift.

It peaked somewhere between 2000 and 7. Personally, I place it in XP, but opinions vary.

None of that is “Python”. You want to learn a language and automatically know everything there is to know using Math?
