When metrics become targets they fail to be metrics any more

Tests is the industry name for the automated paging when production breaks

It’s the SATA cable

I think that’s how themes are distributed for VSCode, right?
With VSCode, everything is an extension.
But the vscode marketplace seems to have filters for themes, so there must be some way to differentiate them.

I think extensions need a permissions system

What makes this even more sneaky is that JetBrains has a theme called “Darcula”.

So, with a wider generic theme called Dracula and themes that duplicate JetBrains Darcula theme, it is no surprise that “Darcula Official” is being installed.
It’s more than just a typosquat

Edit:
But why can a theme make web requests?!

When learning c++ you hate c++. Then suddenly you get it, and love c++. Then you learn more c++, and you end up merely liking c++

“broker” as a service-between-services is a great name

Invalidating creds sent over http is a great point!

For me, after looking over the docs, it’s close enough to JavaScript that it might as well adopt more of the syntax (for example, conditionals and loops don’t use parenthesis). It also has some similarities to python, but again not enough to be python.

Feels like an in-between language that has enough similarities to seem easy, but some gotchas that will regularly catch you out.
And then some extra features like the if chaining, which doesn’t have the keyword if or switch in it. So you have to know that that structure implies an if or switch conditional.

Especially for something like bash scripting, which devs probably don’t spend as much time doing compared to python or js. So, it would probably take them longer (and break their brain more) than just scripting it in python/js directly or dealing with bash directly.

It’s an improvement over bash, and it’s nice that it transpiles to bash.
I might have to play around with it and see how it actually feels to use

A quick Google suggests what you have.

If the code you have quoted is verbatim what you have tried, seems like you need to extract the parentheses and possibly a single or double quote, depending on the source css. The example source you have given has a single quote.

select-before(select-after(//div/@style, "backgound-image: url("), ")") 

Should be (notice the extra ' relating to url('...url'))

select-before(select-after(//div/@style, "backgound-image: url('"), "')")

But I don’t think that would cause xpath to fail… It would just extract the wrong value

Edit:
Further reading suggests xpath 1.0 does have limited functionalities. But, like you, can’t find anything concrete.

I’m here on Lemmy because I liked RIF and RES.
Reddit, the proprietary platform, made those pieces of software obsolete, and not in a good way.

I’m pretty sure open source software can extend closed license, proprietary even obfuscated software. That’s the cool thing about open source.

It’s just… Whether it’s worth the effort to hang your hat on proprietary software… That bit quite a few 3rd party Reddit apps in the ass

Tweaked some things

Like yaml/toml

UK gov can seriously cut back on their IT budget since mandating manufacturers make devices secure-by-default.

Joking aside, this seems a sensible law

Most devices have a “restore factory default” button in their UI, or a physical “reset” button that you hold down for 5s or hold down while power cycling.

Yeh, for me git is a backup system.
My boss gave me a hand on some bits (more, I set up a framework and he could tweak pages). Anyway, I fixed some stuff, tidied some of his shit, then trying to get git to merge that back into his workspace REALLY stretched my knowledge of git LUL.
I’m sure doing that every day would get me up to speed, but ATM commit/push means “backup” to me

Like man milk

It’s a funny read.

IMO, the bridge example is more like joining a maintenance team looking after an old bridge. I’m sure there could be good metaphors of the old guy that hammered 300 of the original rivets, and can tell an interesting story about toilet breaks 250ft in the air. And new government regulations both about bridges and conservation of protected buildings/structures that somehow clash or whatever.
Building a bridge would be more of a startup/new project.

It does feel like it takes the most esoteric circumstances, as well.
Same could be said for “Steve that has to dig a ditch” seeing competitions of plant operators doing back flips in forestry machines meant to scale mountains.

It’s just that programming is a very accessible hobby that can transition into a career (how most programmers got a career, tbh), but is also the thing that modern business/industry/entertainment all depends on.

I have FF set as default browser. Teams opens any link in edge.

Microsoft has fully gone off the deep end of batshit crazy

Nobody likes missing a train.
In this scenario, missing a train is caused by timezones.
It’s sarcasm. So against timezones.
Maybe, against more granular timezones, ok with status-quo, but would be happy if all official correspondence happened with UTC.
Possibly completely against timezones.
Maybe a mix of all of the above
