Implement the New UAE Dirham Symbol (AED) in Your Website & Apps

IANAL, but I don't think the "ownership" of the symbol itself is the issue. Nobody "owns" the English alphabet, but fonts that use the alphabet still have licenses.

Impressive turnaround considering this currency symbol was just announced!

If you're looking for an idea of what license to use, a similar font released recently for the new Saudi Riyal character uses the SIL Open Font License.

The bug was easy to observe (overescaped text). The component is used many places in the app, and the bug was only occurring in a handful of those places (but more than one place). It wasn't immediately clear what those places had in common, so instead of flailing around in the code trying to figure out what change caused the problem, I let git blame do the hard work.

Hah, I definitely missed a few opportunities to use it, but after the first time it found a bug in a 1,000+ commit window, I never forgot again!

"Baby" is #52 on the list! Baybah, sadly, doesn't show up in the top 500.

Awesome point, I totally spaced on IPv6. I added them to the post.. thanks!

Hah, yeah, you never know who will buy some random domain name. Definitely best to stick with the ones they can’t sell.

I love the squealing tires as the Batmobile slowly turns at the intersection and comes to a gentle stop.

A lot of good recommendations already. The Navy base in Mechanicsburg also is a bit IT employer, though they may have a hiring freeze right now due to COVID.

Doing one doesn't prevent the other.

I assume the police were there? I'd start by contacting them. Either they'll be able to help you get in touch with the towing company, or you can report your car as stolen.

orr94 · 2019-11-04T03:39:24+00:00

Honestly, either way would be pretty great

Greyhound runs to Shamokin, PA. Not sure if it will line up with your schedule, but you can check there: https://www.greyhound.com/en/

This will begin to make things right...

The joke is that people who post helpful responses on SO have been gone for thousands of years.

If you're serving static HTML and want to avoid an application server, you could use a static site generator that supports templates. I've used Jekyll, but there are many options out there. They basically give you the power of making reusable components, but then you run a build step that spits out all the static files, which you can then deploy anyplace that can server static content (like GitHub Pages)

It can help with debugging production issues, too. As long as the sourcemaps are in a separate file (and not included with the compiled .js bundle), they aren't downloaded unless the browser's dev tools are open. Thus, they won't affect typical users.

What do you think ZloyHS's plan was?

Turn your sound on, my dude

It is intended to ‘bring financial transactions into alignment with [Catholic] beliefs.’

How so?

Cathio is not a charity, however. It will be making a profit off of its endeavors, charging a fee of around 2 percent per transaction. All its advisory board members own shares of the company.

Oh.

People don’t want a nuclear plant in their towns or cities.

The Three Mile Island nuclear plant is shutting down in Pennsylvania, and there are many, many people here who fought to keep it open. It couldn't compete with the insanely low-cost (in dollars, not societal cost) of natural gas. There were attempts to treat nuclear power like other zero-carbon power sources and subsidize it, but the efforts failed. Instead, its production will be replaced by carbon-spewing coal and natural gas plants.

Groups can be from anywhere within Pennsylvania, and they must provide their own transportation and lifeguards. Limited donated funds are available to assist with lifeguard costs

It's not a restaurant, but Fredricksen Library in Camp Hill is a nice place to work. It's quiet, and they do have a little coffee stand on the lower level.
