Doing the same thing or new things? I'm 51. After 20 years in SQL and C# I'm tired of it. Last year I got myself on a Python project and I loved it. Then I got myself on a TypeScript project and I loved that even more. I imagine t

Yes, but is it responsible to pay for _all_ good journalism? You'd go bankrupt.

I'd like to know the strategy for maximizing lifetime. If typical use is about 30 miles per day that leaves a lot of room for strategizing. Should I charge it every night, every other night or every third night? Should I keep it charge

It takes a lot of IT knowledge to get a Python script to work properly on Windows. And yet somehow you figured out a way to blast Microsoft for trying in good faith to help out the Python community. And it was done in concert with the Pytho

I originally created a Twitter account back in 2007 for this same reason. To this day it's still my only account. Having great insight and vision, I could foresee no usefulness or future for "social media", except as a way to

Maybe you're especially insightful. I was taking Computer Engineering classes in 1990 and I distinctly remember thinking, Why would anyone want to deal with something so complicated and unreliable as digital music files, when radio and

The Fedora remix for WSL is on sale for $6 right now. If you're interested in WSL, this is an upgrade from the free Ubuntu distro. I hope they continue on with it for WSL2. I much prefer Fedora to Ubuntu.

WSL2 offers Docker support. It will be included in the next update of Windows. Many people are using it now but I don't have time to mess with beta software. I am exercising my patience.

Just noticed with this release, tmux mouse support is working now! You can scroll back, change tmux windows and panes using the mouse only. Kickass. This is awesome. :)

I think this is for people who already know Python, and just need a quick memory aid. I agree for a complete and correct reference I would recommend the documentation, as you said. A proper cheatsheet takes liberties for the sake of achievi

Most of this article is talking about fake photos, not fake Twitter accounts. He goes on to say that if you use your Twitter account for politics, then you are fake. The only thing I agree with is 766 posts in a week is extreme and is an in

Yes, unless your govt is hyper-nationalist and labels the pandemic as a "foreign virus". (Of course dirty foreigners are going to get sick—They're dirty.) We have no fear of pandemics here. We're superior. God protects u

This particular story is about a development which did comply with existing zoning but the neighbors try to stop it anyway, forcing local govt into a negotiation. If you look at the photo of the lot you can see why: Beautiful rolling green

This story reminds me of when I was a kid and the school bus would come. Often there were no seats because every seat was taken--one kid each. There was plenty of room there, but the kids who got on the bus first would ban together to preve

This article says that holding your location history is creepy but holding your search history is harmless and you should let them do it. I find the opposite is true. I have no use for my search history, but I like to see my timeline to hel

Many of the people didn't know they were going to be required to have a certain app, and that's why they didn't download it beforehand. They were then told to rely on the phone call-in method, which failed. Many of the caucus

Seems like the country has a new name, "oil-producer Norway". Look, oil production is going to be around for a long, long time. Even when 99% of new vehicles are EV and 99% of power production is renewable, we will still be pumpin

I'm not an expert so I'm just gonna ask the question. How is this different than what my web browsers do with all the passwords they memorize for me? They are stored locally, and encrypted, not hashed, with a key that is hard-code

The most interesting part of this article is that the aim of the Italian-American Civil Rights League was to combat derogatory stereotypes about Italian-Americans. The IACRL promptly reinforced all those stereotypes by launching an intimida

This reminds my of the troubles I have with CarPlay on BMW. I use Android. Anytime I try to go somewhere while my wife's iPhone is near the garage, it takes over my car and I can't do anything. No music, no phone calls, nothing bu

He's not comparing apples to apples. $0.28 per kWh is the most expensive way possible to recharge a Tesla, while $2.59 per gallon is NOT the most expensive way possible to refuel a Camry.

A lot of the details they spent so much effort on didn't make any sense to me as to why that particular design detail would be important. I don't care about vertical alignment of letter shape details. If I need lowercase letters t

I remember when my sports team finally turned things around and instead of losing by double-digit score differentials we were losing by single-digit score differentials. These were celebrated like wins, but yes it was still losing.

My solution would be to hire an estate sale company, who will bring in a team to inventory every item in the house while selling it off to the general public. Give them instructions to sell off everything except Kindle readers. By the end o

Only problem with the walrus operator is we still can't use it until linters support it. Now we're at 3.8.1 and still no linter support.

Z-wave takes less time to get working and once it does it stays working. I've bought Wifi switches that worked for as little as 2-3 months before dying. I've never had a Z-wave device die. Zigbee maybe be open but if it can't
