This whole time I thought they were working on a new album. Very sad to see the end of this legendary duo.

I thought //// was psuedo reserved for documentation. and then // was for general comments. I usually use block comments for commenting out code or I just use VS hotkeys which I think are //

I get this for tracking down a bug or working on speeding a block up. But why does the unused code need to be committed? Yes it helps you with your one problem but it clutters the document with extra information for others. So I guess I phr

the devs at factorio have developed an amazing test suite automation system to automate regression tests. I wouldnt be surprised if this is what gives them most of their confidence to do twice daily releases. I thought it was newer, but the

This couldn't have come a at a more convenient time. I was looking this weekend to write my first mod but was struggling to learn both Lua nd the Factorio API at the same time. But just curious, does anyone thing a regex train renamer

Yet 4chan has succeeded in may organized tasks. They played capture the flag with Shia LaBeouf [1], fixed votes for NYTs person of the year [2], and made the OK hand signal into a White Power symbol [3]. Sure these aren't super involve

Isnt 4chan self hosted? i remember reading blog posts about m00t's server migrations which was actually him strapping a server in the back seat of his car and driving cross country. but that was a while ago, maybe before cloud hosting

Is getting your mail sent from your own e-mail server past the GMail and Outlook spam filters trivial? I always hear about the aggressive spam filters that these providers have which makes it hard to set up your own server. Not saying it&#x

It is not about appearing weak, it is about a trade deficit . TikTok can make money off Americans with little effort but Facebook and Google have to make entirely new apps to get entry to the Chinese market (I can't remember if they st

there are modes and mods that allow you to remove the character entirely, and you would then play the game entirely with bots from a "god" point of view. i think it would be clunky to port to touch screen but not impossible. I wou

Do you get to define seed values? I'm just thinking in terms of reproducibility if you are composing a track instead of playing live. A super cool feature I didn't even think would be helpful before

We did the migration off ASP.NET a couple years ago. Our site wasnt that big, but we had some major anti-patterns that we decided to address during the migration. (we had multiple CSPROJs for "Businsess Logic" and "Data Acces

Personally I keep a .NET decompiler on my taskbar. I was about to say I like being able to find all references and usages of internal variables, but I see now the site does a pretty good job. I also like directly seeing how my code utilizes

I have never heard of third place before. Its a really cool idea. Its something that I have missing from my own life but I can really see the value. Do you think that you have a small social network of friends due to a lack of third place i

I was wondering where I saw the cable robot last. I didn't know there were already assembly robots that did that kind of stuff until now. I'm assuming the major step here is handling a larger number of cables without re-programmin

from my anecdotal experience: having anything other than a hard redirect entirely misses the point of this feature. A click or waiting 10 seconds pretty much nullifies all the benefit. I think an opt-out is the best way to go. Any technical

I feel like you might have missed the point of the article. They go into the example with weather.com, a for-profit website, that is also losing out on clicks. The general idea seems to be that google goes to the site on behalf of the user

Same here, as long as you have white backdrop (large poster board from an old school project) and are able to crop/print it to the correct dimensions there is no need to get a professional picture. When planning the family vacation, we

Thanks for posting. do you have any opinion on NVD3 or other frameworks on top of d3? I always liked the fine grain control plain d3, but thought the idea of out of the box interactive charts to be pretty cool

I thought a lot of schools took advantage of DreamSpark, or what ever the education program is called now. When I was in school, we could log in and download pretty much any Microsoft program or OS (server and consumer) with full licenses.
