Re: Setting Up Vue Router and Navigation with Router Link

bruceingalls — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 12:58:19 -0000

@Mostafa I freshly cloned vuejs-masterclass-2024-edition . src/App.vue already has <template> with <RouterView /> nested inside. I tried adding the code from your video, as well; an empty page displays. The same HTML source still exists. Note that Jonathan's eslint trick no longer applies to the eslint v9 update.

Re: Powering Up VS Code P1: Vue.js 3 Official Extension

I checked out the main branch & read the README.md for vuejs-masterclass-2024-edition (sic, note additional -edition on the end). This does not have any import statements in src/App.vue , as in the video

It looks that the hygen.io domain has been hacked. Update the main page, too.

You missed the original package manager for Windows: https://chocolatey.org/
All software is scanned by VirusTotal. There are competing pkg mgrs, too.

Re: Is It Legal to Record Calls on Your Smartphone?

bruceingalls — Sun, 15 Jan 2023 09:23:47 -0000

I am one of the few, who always dissents when my calls are recorded. Most such companies always record, regardless of legal consequences, so these laws are not enforced in the USA. Not even the FCC helps.

Is there a way to stop sms spam? I get hit regularly with a weekly new spoofed ANI text of inappropriate content.

Re: Why Good Developers Write Bad Unit Tests

bruceingalls — Thu, 13 Dec 2018 11:23:05 -0000

Nice!
Here are some more considerations:
* Learn the annotation support for your unit test framework. Example: https://phpunit.readthedocs...
* What about assertion failure messages? If long test names are good, aren't messages even better? Example:
assert(found(), 'Joe', 'User lookup failed for Joe');
* Any thoughts on multiple assertions in a test?
* Any thoughts on balancing code coverage against test execution time? Here's an idea: extract slow tests into a secondary plan.

The MISCS->latitude pattern is not quite right. Better is:
` -?\d{1,3}(\.\d{1,8})? ` Current GPS technology, afaik won't resolve better than 8 digits, or ~0.1 meter. @aurelian

A-[0-9]+ 'A-' followed by integer with at least 1 digit. You could also use a number input, and prepend 'A-', if leading zeros are not significant. Did you look at postal codes?

Re: HTML5Pattern

bruceingalls — Wed, 21 Nov 2018 10:29:13 -0000

I recommend that you try Stack Overflow, or a local Meetup.com, and provide more detail on your goal. You question is out of scope for html5pattern

Re: HTML5Pattern

bruceingalls — Wed, 21 Nov 2018 10:21:52 -0000

[A-Z]-[0-9]+ letter followed by negative integer with at least 1 digit

Re: HTML5Pattern

bruceingalls — Wed, 21 Nov 2018 10:20:16 -0000

[A-Z]{2}[0-9]{5}

Re: Oracle Java Installer

The Oracle JDK deb package at http://www.webupd8.org/2015... has been maintained and tested on several platforms such as Ubuntu, Mint, etc. This package goes back years to JDK v6. I think the open source already has some forks, too.

Re: Async/await

Nice work. I'd change each `let` to `const`. Not just to appease eslint, but to highlight that promises are immutable.

Aurelian: please post this on the *Names* page, with caveats.

Note that html5pattern's "Make Your Own" is currently experiencing difficulties. Html5 does not (yet) support posix, i.e. [:alnum:]+ . Also note that unicode symbols exceed what you posted: Em dashes, zero width space, emoticons. Also consider that code point declaration in HEAD tag might not match UTF-8.

Here's a regex for combined US or Canada postal code, spaces & dashes optional. Perhaps this site will add these contributions one day...
[A-Za-z0-9]{3} ?[0-9A-Za-z]{2,3}([\-]?\d{4})?
title='5 - 10 digits & letters with optional space or dash'

Re: HTML5Pattern

Thomas- I made a mistake about \d in a character class. Your regex likely will fit Mary's `white symbols` needs, whatever those are. However, note that HTML5 allows pasting in tabs, and in some cases, carriage returns, which fail your regex.
While it would be difficult to ensure parenthesis are balanced, it would not be difficult to ensure that +- is the first non-space character. Also, consider allowing decimal points or commas. Another possibility, is to ensure that 0 is not a leading decimal.

Re: HTML5Pattern

bruceingalls — Sat, 17 Jun 2017 14:23:55 -0000

Unfortunately, '\d' won't work inside brackets (aka character class), where it is treated literally. Still, I recall that parenthesis () must be escaped inside a character class (aka set).
Also \s or whitespace includes \t, \n, \r, and perhaps more (unicode, formfeed?)

Re: HTML5Pattern

bruceingalls — Tue, 13 Jun 2017 12:27:10 -0000

This might require lookahead. This simpler rule might work, and accepts an empty string, as you specified:
'^(?:[a-z0-9]-?[a-z0-9])*[a-z0-9]?$'

Re: HTML5Pattern

bruceingalls — Tue, 13 Jun 2017 12:15:43 -0000

I haven't tested it, but '(?:[0-9+-]|\s)*' looks about right, for a quantity of 0 to infinity, which you did not specify. Documents:
Regular expressions book Jeffrey Friedl is be$t.
Also, from easiest to challenging:

* https://www.princeton.edu/~...
If you have Linux / Mac / Cygwin (or Windows 10 bash?), install pcre then `man pcrepattern`

bruceingalls — Tue, 13 Jun 2017 12:06:52 -0000

Please add CVV aka CVC code to Card regex: '[0-9]{3,4}' or '\d{3,4}'
We should suggest title messages for critiquing, too! How about:
title='Expected 3 to 4 digits'

Hmm. No mention of http://php.net/manual/en/bo... which I consider the answer to BigDecimal outside of Java (C#/Swift?)
Thank you for helping to modernize PHP!

Re: Install Oracle Java 8 In Ubuntu VIa PPA [JDK8] ~ Web Upd8: Ubuntu / Linux blog

Likely most applications do not need JAVA_HOME (must be uppercase!) set, but it will not hurt. This forum does not help much with developer questions, if that is how you use it. A dev environ likely requires additional configuration.

tldr; Balancing user friendliness against reliable simplicity had been resolved in Unix in favor of 'do one thing well'. However, JdkUpd8 is a bit more like an application, than a system command.

Wget does not have per-domain options. I suggest that the best solution is to not second guess custom environments.
if JdkUpd8 fails, assume that it was due to a timeout. If so, print an error message, suggesting the user modify timeout in ~/.wgetrc. It's unclear that other users should be impacted with /etc/wgetrc. It is possible to get fancy, detecting timeouts, but I recommend resisting the urge.

The downside is that a GUI like Synaptic won't display this error message. I make the assumption, that custom environments are maintained by sophisticated users, who use the command line. Some GUIs seem to support popup shell dialogs.

@MURATSPLAT Webupd8 is not a Java site, but it has gathered related fame. Consider donating a fact-based comparison article to Andrew. Hopefully, we can build an informative thread, and avoid trolling.
