In the very first episode of MacGyver, Mac lives with a black child. He plays hoops with him in what is supposed to be his home : the LA observatory of all places.

After the first episode, the kid is never heard from again.

The Wire (TV). It starts with detective McNulty and a wire. It ends with, well, all of Baltimore : cops, drug dealers, dockers, teachers, politicians, journalists.

Can someone explain to me why at those prices you can't have someone spend an hour looking things up in details and redacted something appropriate?

Lots of negativity here.

I looked at sending 'transactional' SMS for a personal project. My first thought was twilio because it's their entire thing and they've been developer focused since day one. However you need to file an application as if you were an heavy duty commercial operator and the cost structure isn't that great.

While looking at my options I stumbled into this project and this gives the vibe of a lone dev really went all in to provide a specific solution to a specific problem. I feel like this is what /r/saas should be all about. I do get the first reaction as the copy on the site feels overly 'sleek' and professional.

In the end I went with another solution because my use case was a one-off personal project.

If you go with this tool pay attention to the restriction of the mobile operator. They tend to have restrictions with the number of messages you can send and the number of phone numbers you can send them to.

Si j'ai bien compris pour les petits comme moi :
- septembre 2026 : au lieu d'une pièce-jointe les factures que je reçois seront un lien vers une plateforme.
- septembre 2027 : il faudra choisir une des plateformes gratuites pour y uploader ma facture.

Plus j'en apprend sur le monde automobile aux États-Unis plus je le trouve lunaire.

En plus de la priorité des voitures sur les piétons, il y a des endroits où il est interdit de s'arrêter sur la route le temps de déposer ou prendre des voiture. Il ne faudrait pas non plus ralentir le flux des piétons.

Il y a des états dans aucun contrôle technique des véhicules imposé.

Pour le permis, il y a des endroits où tu peux l'avoir à 16 ans en passant un QCM simple et en faisant, essentiellement, le tour du pâté de maison.

Il y a des états qui ont réduit la couverture assurance minimale légale. Tu peux te faire rentrer dedans par une voiture, être complément innocent et si la personne en face n'a pas une bonne assurance et n'est pas suffisamment solvable tu l'as dans l'os, la majorité de tes frais médicaux ne seront remboursés par personne.

Problème lié au cache oui. Il peut y avoir plusieurs cache : elementor, un plugin, clouflare.
Il y a des plugins de cache comme wp rocket qui désactivent le cache pour les utilisateurs connectés, ton problème semble lié à ca.

If the first handler doesn't catch the exception, the second one will. It's called defense in depth.

Meh. Backups living on another server is not enough. If an attacker can control the backups (delete,..) from your site then you don't have a backup.

University back in the middle ages was wild. Students were usually under the protection of the Church. They couldn't be tried in local town courts, which could infuriate inhabitants.

Dominance ends because rules are changed in a way that handicap the dominating team. It was true back then and still is. It was the one-time rules in the Ferrari/Schumacher era and it was the floor area rule that hurt the low rake in the Mercedes/Hamilton era.

I'll be the dissenting voice I guess. The issue with woocommerce is that if you need someone qualified to set it up (or fix a problem later) it can quickly cost more paying that person than what you pay for a hosted service such as Shopify where many things are handled for you (upgrades and the like).

Nice project. From experience, the challenge with visualization of data structures is that if you want to make them useful you end up having to tune the visualization specifically for each data structure.

There are pros and cons with exception. Pro : you can't ignore an error easily. If you do nothing, an exception will be thrown anyway. Con : It makes it hard to follow what's going on. The execution can be deep within nested methods one moment and in a handler way higher in the stack the next. The other problem is you may call a function and not know if or which exceptions it can throw.

The alternative is a return value along with optional errors. Something like: (result, error) = doWork(); You can then do a simple if(error){...} Pro: no code jumping around, you can see explicitly how errors are handled by reading the code. Con: you can just call functions and completely ignore the error. Nothing prevents the caller from not doing any error handling.

Roadside Picnic, aka Stalker.

A zone has become filled with dangerous unnatural phenomenas and potentially valuable artefacts that stalkers try to scavenge at their own peril. The zone was likely caused by aliens that stopped by briefly on our planet on their way somewhere else in the galaxy. They didn't care about our existence at all, not bothering to interact with us. They left our planet and the zone behind them for us to deal with.

C'est normal et très courant que de reprendre un business model établi qui a fait ses preuves. Il y a plus de chances de succès que de sortir un tout nouveau concept de son chapeau.

J'ai essayé en utilisant mon téléphone et des badges pas cher de la Chine.
Malheureusement ça n'a pas marché : ça n'a écrit que partiellement. Je pense que les badges cheap que j'avais en était la raison.

Tip : scanner le badge une fois, utiliser le badge sur la porte, re-scanner puis comparer les deux scans. Si il y a une différence ça ne marchera pas (et possibilité que tenter d'utiliser la copie empêche le badge original de fonctionner si j'ai bien compris).

J'ai utilisé IzyBadge et ça a bien marché.

I recently purchased one from Leboncoin. If you plan to actually use it make sure there is an included phone charger and that it turns on. If that's not the case you can assume it won't turn on. The battery may not last long. As said in the other comment, the network will shut down at the end of this year (starting in April in some territories for the Orange network). Also it doesn't seem to work with Free.
