I also like the POSIX “seconds since 1970” standard, but I feel that should only be used in RAM when performing operations (time differences in timers etc.). It irks me when it’s used for serialising to text/JSON/XML/CSV.
I’ve seen bugs where programmers tried to represent date in epoch time in seconds or milliseconds in json. So something like “pay date” would be presented by a timestamp, and would get off-by-one errors because whatever time library the programmer was using would do time zone conversions on a timestamp then truncate the date portion.
If the programmer used ISO 8601 style formatting, I don’t think they would have included the timepart and the bug could have been avoided.
Use dates when you need dates and timestamps when you need timestamps!
Do you use it? When?
Parquet is really used for big data batch data processing. It’s columnar-based file format and is optimized for large, aggregation queries. It’s non-human readable so you need a library like apache arrow to read/write to it.
I would use parquet in the following circumstances (or combination of circumstances):
Since the data is columnar-based, doing queries like select sum(sales) from revenue
is much cheaper and faster if the underlying data is in parquet than csv.
The big advantage of csv is that it’s more portable. csv as a data file format has been around forever, so it is used in a lot of places where parquet can’t be used.
Wow everyone seems to love P3 but I actually liked P4 better. I mean I really enjoyed both, but P4 was a more immersive experience for me. I should reboot my vita and play it again.
I really felt like P4 had deeper connections and relationships between the characters. It felt more real, and that made the tension in the game more exciting. I love every second of it and am still trying to find a game like it.
Don’t get me wrong, P3 was great also. The gameplay was superb and the characters were all great. But P4 still has a special place in my heart.
They’re asking for TV manufacturers to block a VPN app in the TV. Not to block VPN in general.
Password managers support passkeys.
If you are being intentional about its use, then you can get a lot out of it. But for some, maybe even most, YouTube is a distraction.
Yes it can be an issue because the GPS doesn’t know where you are and thinks you are on an aboveground street. Freeway tunnels can have multiple exits too.
I disagree. I think the default option should be what users expect, and users expect “copy” to do exactly that: copy without modifying the text.
Just because you can get part of your education remotely or through self-learning didn’t mean “anything can be learned online”.
And if you were hiring a math tutor for your kid, would you prefer a self-proclaimed expert from watching YouTube videos or would you want someone who got a degree from a credentialed university? And even if you don’t care, why are you surprised that others would be skeptical of the YouTube expert?
Remote learning can be fine for some things, and self learning through informal channels are also fine, but it’s not a full on replacement for formal education in all cases.
No sorry, that’s just fundamentally false. You can’t just learn titration techniques from watching a video. You can’t learn phlebotomy without an instructor watching you do it to a patient. Hell, you aren’t learning how to drive a car from playing a video game.
And I’m not sure where you are pulling the “if you are that powerful” from. You really have an ax to grind don’t you.
Ah yes, I’m sure the formal training received by doctors, nurses, lawyers, teachers, and engineers is just an over-hyped “education” that can all be replaced by online MOOCs.
There are real problems with education, especially with the costs, but “anything can be learned online” is the worst take I’ve heard in a long while.
I feel the opposite. We should have mandatory voting for all federal general elections. Treat it like jury duty or taxes - voting is a civic duty. You should be compelled to cast a ballot even if you leave it blank because you have no preference.
Of course, this can only workwith automatic voter registration and 100% mail-in ballots.
Rocky Linux have said that they can rebuild using publicly available sources in UBI containers and cloud images.

Though reading the article, I don’t know if SUSE is simply rebuilding or forking. In any case, it’s cool to see SUSE committed to open source principles.
This doesn’t help for Gmail. I moved to a different part of the country and I have a spam email account that isn’t connected to a phone or second email. Even with the right password, it wouldn’t let me log in because I was trying to sign in from a different location and no secondary way to authenticate.
Luckily it was a spam email so it was just annoying to recreate some accounts I used for that email, but yeah ve warned.
"I can read this Perl scrip"t should translate to “I’m lying”.
People forget that when Reddit first started, it only supported link submissions and then later self submissions. That’s how imgur got started - it was a gift to the users. It was only relatively recently when Reddit supported image and video hosting.
Totally agree with the dope domain name. Not going to lie, a big reason for picking programming.dev
was to be /u/jim@programming.dev
Lots of people here lamenting about this. But the truth is that good code is easy to modify/delete.
