   This is something I grapple with a lot. Convenience is probably an improvement, but now the journey is shorter to all the destinations.

   This is one place where interop between JS and TS gets prickly. If you envision this as a Typescript library, strings are much more ergonomic, so long as you’ve got a union type for all the variants. But if you want it to be decent for non-

   They’re just kind of big ol’ moneyballs with easier access to at-cost resources. But even then they’re so big getting those resources can feel like you don’t even work at the same company.

   It’s probably wrong, yeah. I made a wild guess at magnitude just to make a rhetorical point. Are you saying it’s more like 1,000 or 100,000? I’m not a farmer but I live in a farming city, and one thing I notice is that the crops around her

   Every family having to have a robot instead of a handful of tractors for every ten thousand families or so. And that is likely a less optimal use of acreage. I think what you might actually be advocating for is “people should convert more

   Which makes it critically important to see through to the end that Ukraine wins. Otherwise South Korea, Taiwan, and others would be right in recognizing that a nuclear arsenal is the better option.

   No rank means much. Not even degrees like a PhD. In fact I swear there’s negative correlation.

   All such great advice. The one time I’ve found success is when I figure out the entire scope of the little project up front. Then I find myself not even worrying about maintenance or scalability. I know I won’t need that extra class abstrac

   The first line really hits me hard. There’s something so incredibly freeing about being a kid and doing stuff like coding. There’s simply no expectations. Even the smallest project felt like such an achievement. But now I code professional

    Is there a complete listing somewhere of exactly what’s different between the two, both in terms of features and end-to-end experience?

    I used to think that there’s something terribly embarrassing about watching people like these lying in such a pathetically obvious way. Like catching my 5 year old in a lie. But I think I’m realizing that it simply doesn’t matter. They just

    Yes. For one set. But if your next lottery is 4,5,6,7,8,9 and then 11,12,13,14,15,16 it becomes improbable. The issue here is that a bunch of the percentages imply super round numbers. The signal isn’t that there’s a round number. It’s that

    Do you, like me, ever feel judged by the lines on the carafe indicating 12 cups, and how your favourite mug is apparently six cups of coffee?

    That would average to a Starbucks “Tall” each day, costing $6. The volume seems plausible. The cost seems a bit steep.

    We’ve been doing this to ourselves forever. Whether sexually or tricking ourselves with sweeteners or whatnot. Our brain has a pretty loosely typed interface.

    I’m sure this is a worn out discussion point, and touches on some deep philosophical issues. But if bots could be entirely indistinguishable from humans and generate curious discussion, would I really care that they’re bots? None of you kno

    I’m not sure I really know how to handle this. Do I just read the latest version linked at the top of the page? Or is the one offered by this like somehow more canonical or something? I’m not sure I’ve ever been faced with different version

    Wow. I had no clue that an input device actually had any sort of control over the drawing of a CRT. I thought you just throw out signal at a certain timing and that’s it. Also this article was wonderful in the way that it didn’t waste a wor

    I once had a vet that was so good about addressing this issue and making sure I was equipped to be part of any decisionmaking process. She would be happy to discuss an issue layer by layer until I felt sufficiently informed. It helped th

    Only when you apply an abstraction to simplify a complicated world so that it’s easier for you to digest. In reality it does not hold true that all persons in jails/prisons deserve the punishment. In fact, this injustice is often perpe

    “Responsive design” is basically couched language that hides that you’re either designing it twice or are making compromises to one or both aspects/sizes. There isn’t really any other choice. It’s reality. But it’s just sometimes quit

    I’m honestly not sure I understand any better. I also think we might accomplish more if people could find themselves to being more compromising. Not that we don’t benefit from having a bunch of distros, but perhaps there’s a bit too much se
