How much time do you have to program in edge cases? If I had the time and it were me, I'd parse for single number and return a single element. A single number with colon would give the front/back portion of the list accordingly. And two numbers gives the inclusive range.

Then in terms of if you get a zero, swap to zero index mode since they clearly want the start of the list or reject the command explaining the argument isn't zero-based (probably best to reject just for consistency).

The docs/help page will be key here. That and consistency across your app when it comes to zero vs one indexing.

I think it would depend on the typical user base and how the rest of the cli operates. If it's typical array work or your users are typically programmers or otherwise know computing, then stick to 0 based indexing. If they're users of spreadsheets and rarely interface with zero-based indicies, then stick to what they know. Just document it well enough for everyone!

I'd also think inclusive is more intuitive. If they only want one element, then they can provide the single element, otherwise they get the full range.

Although, if your cli is trying to mimic another programming function. If it's very clear that's the intent, then follow the functionality of the parent function.

Another owner of a Litter Robot 3 here. I managed to snag one of their refurbished units when they offered them so I have the WiFi version, but I don't bother to try to connect it anymore as it wasn't offering any benefit and frequently reset itself. I just place the litter box where I can see the light as it'll flash when it's full. It's used by one cat and lasts about a week before needing the bag replaced. You can use large trash bags but third party bags are available if you wanted a more fitting bag. The smells will permeate into the room after 3-4 days, but this is mitigated by fully emptying and deep cleaning the unit periodically (I usually do this when I've used a full pail of litter, which is about 4 months). I keep it in the guest room while I don't have anyone over and the smells don't exit that room somehow; but you can definitely smell it if it's in the same room. Still runs well after 8ish years so I think it's a good value! I had a few $100 units before and they all needed repairs after a year.

Lmao, right? Yet as an enjoyer of seeing road design and engineering, I'm unsure how they'd properly solve the issue without building four more bridges right there to weave the traffic more elegantly. Just too much stuff in one cramped location.

I'll add a +1 to Battleblock Theater! Such a well done game that can be true co-op or "co-op with shenanigans" if that's more your vibe. The story is entertaining and lighthearted and the levels introduce new mechanics throughout.

It's a very valid question and I think it comes down to an individual's situation and circumstances. Not many can afford to actually leave or have family, friends, other ties to their home that they cannot emotionally afford to leave. Others struggle in how they can support efforts to fight for their rights or simply don't have the physical or emotional reserves to make such a fight. I think the only truly ethically irresponsible answer would be to do the opposite that you are able and willing to do. I could never judge someone for leaving or for staying; it's not really a mark of their character.

I've been using porkbun for a few years now and it's been cheap, simple, and easy to use.

I'm not sure I understand the need for charging to play media on a private server when not on the local network. Why is this no longer going to be free? I'm glad I bought a lifetime pass many many years back but I definitely wouldn't pay for Plex nowadays with alternatives being comparable. What a silly choice they made~

Teams is just a combination of Skype and Slack but with integrations for the rest of the MS ecosystem. Plenty of alternatives if you separate out the functionality you truly need.

Take a week and build a Voron. The kits are super easy to piece together and you end up with an insanely great, reliable printer for a fraction what it should cost. Yes, the build time and initial calibration might take a bit, but mine's been without issue, printing 24h long prints perfectly for over a year now. You don't need to settle for a mediocre built printer if you have the patience to piece together one. Not to mention, since you built the kit, you know how to troubleshoot any issues that pop up much faster than something you pulled out of a box and plugged into the wall.

Tampermonkey will do what you need. It's not point and click, but writing the custom script shouldn't be too difficult for someone very new. You essentially just need to complete a find and replace upon page load. The %2F and similar costs are just ASCII characters in percent-encoding and can easily be parsed.

I'm unsure what benefit you get from this though. It seems skimfeed is just trying to capture which lists and posts get visited so they can adjust the site according to popularity. Doing this via an exit link removes any need for cookies (which I didn't check for, so maybe this ain't what they're using it for).

You can self host with Vaultwarden! It's just the server; you use the same Bitwarden clients.

 

I was thinking of marking an account and start using Matrix, but I wanted to see if there were any plans for a pawb social server in the future. I don't mind waiting a bit if it is in the pipeline but if it's a definitive no, then I know to research the other servers/admins. Thanks for providing this amazing space! I just want to see it grow!
