I stopped my training after deciding that I wasn’t confident in myself to avoid such “simple” issues. I’m pretty distractible and even had trouble following checklists to some degree. I’m sure having a baby on the way contributed, but I’m s

I recall Word having a “white text on blue” option for quite a while as comfort to the millions moving over from WordPerfect. Blue backgrounds and Borland themes definitely evoke nostalgia.

When your ear is ready to match against one of 26 known phonetics, it is possible to do so even with very high noise. I might only pick up “...orm” but I’ll know it’s “uniform” (U) because it couldn’t be the other 25.

At least for GitHub the consent request is for Read/Write access to all public and private repos, settings, deployment keys and a bunch of other stuff.

What timing! I’ve been annoyed by this for a while and just yesterday wrote IT about the absurd permission request to “Connect” and asking for some way to turn it off. Based on this post I think I know what their answer will be.

Genetics. I still have no intuition for how combining my wife’s and my DNA has resulted in children with traits from both of us. My brain always tries to imagine interleaving two binaries and hoping for a resulting program that works a bit

Oh definitely. It’s just a little less bad then shutting down current students, which would make no sense at all (they’re already not in the brick-and-mortal system so there’s no funding moving).

An important clarification that came out after the linked article: "Earlier in the week, we had some misinformation come out that made it look like we had to close, and then we had formal guidance come out yesterday evening that said,

I was mulling over that sentence too. While I’d probably not characterize them as rude per se, those little pings do intrude more than, say, adding another upvote on the issue. I already know there is a lot more that I’d like to do than hav

I'd wanted this type of calculator for a while and used it as a project to try MithrilJS. Over the past couple of months I've found it pretty handy so I cleaned it up a bit to share. Maybe you'll also find it useful, especial

Other feedback would be: * passcode protection, like other security features, are not good "pro" upsells IMHO. That should be in the free version. * Maybe too expensive for a basic calculator, especially priced as a subscription.

One instance of this I've struggled with (mainly b/c online comms is hard) is when people publicly post that they're annoyed about a confusing thing. "OMG why does it take 10 clicks to do X". This often prompts solu

I'm a long time Arq user too. I looked at Restic but was a little disappointed it didn't support compression. There is an old, still open issue with a ton of comments: https://github.com/restic/restic/iss

It doesn't work. Not just a coding issue either, as the code matches their explanation for this "improved" method.

I'd been dabbling with this project for a long time but didn't have much audio recorded. Seeing ^^^ announcement was the real "oh sh*t, I better get going on this" moment.

Yep! I tuned in CHU regularly. I originally intended to include it in the app as well but: getting audio was difficult since the telephone time isn’t the same as the broadcast, there is some ugly legalese about recording it IIRC, just the W
