  • If a person is at the intro/intermediate level that advice may be sound enough. Since they’re less likely to apply proper rules to include those ranges of IP’s etc.

    Better would be to explain: Disable this until you’re familiar with the following concepts (see cited books/material for more info)






  • It’s not a waste of time… it’s a waste of space. But it does allow you to “enforce” some schema. Which, very few people use that way and so, as a data store using JSON works better.

    Or… we could go back to old school records where you store structs with certain defined lengths in a file.

    You know what? XML isn’t looking so bad now.

    If you want to break the AI ask instead what regex you should use to parse HTML.





  • Imagine, if you will. A world where string reverse changes the character codes of the string.

    What beauty, what wonder would such a world have?

    Destruction and despair. Developers unsure why their programs don’t respond correctly. Ships run aground on islands already overcrowded with those who were shipwrecked before. Signal antennas pointed towards the sun with it’s constant noise. Spacecraft whose exhaust melt to slag populated cities as people briefly scream their final terrors of pain and suffering.

    This, is a world we should not want to live in. A world you can only find, in the Twilight Zone.
