Extracting Firefox Local Data How does one parse/decode/extract information stored by a web page in Firefox's browser local storage without the browser? So far, I've worked out that the data lives at `/.mozilla/firefox/${profile}/storage/default/${site}/ls/data.sqlite`, where the site looks something like `https+++software.cod... (more) |

A: Why is SQL usually written in CAPS? Since the tradition doesn't have any enforcement anywhere, we can't necessarily pinpoint a single reason, but it probably has a lot to do with the available technology of the early 1970s when Chamberlain and Boyce put together the original SEQUEL. Specifically, punch cards and teletype machines gene... (more) |

A: Where to place digit separators in C23? This probably makes for a thoroughly unsatisfying answer, but there's probably far stronger cultural pressure than technical pressure. In European-derived cultures, we mostly group numbers by powers of one thousand as you suggest, and anybody doing something else should either have an extremely good... (more) |

Exactly, and I apologize for the imprecise term. By "private," I only mean some space where it's not quickly discoverable by the general community. You're absolutely right that it shouldn't ever be *unavailable* to the public, or else that directly invites abuse. (more) |

A: Don't close questions for lack of detail/confusion As a newcomer here, I'd like to suggest two additional issues that weigh in favor of closing unworkable questions. First, a site that wants to grow its community needs to moderate its content. If not, prospective users will get one look at a pile of garbage questions with no activity and turn rig... (more) |

A: Testing an opaque type's internals I'd propose (and have generally used, back when I worked on C projects) a fourth option that I don't think gets too far out of line. If I understand the situation correctly, that you want to test how an "object" reacts under a barrage of test conditions, independent of the rest of the software, then... (more) |

A: How to sort the output of meta / slash commands in `psql`? It's been a while, but the answer is "yes and no," I believe. No: The describe-schema command doesn't (last I heard) allow any modification. Yes: The describe-schema command also doesn't do anything that a `SELECT` statement from `informationschema` doesn't do, so something like this should w... (more) |
