Ah, these are "high-res" icons; this isn't a link about anyone being hired.

AoC is one of my favorite events of the year. I find the puzzles to be much more approachable than things like Project Euler. I regularly credit my yearly participation for making me a better programmer. I also do a daily writeup of my solu

That's a good point! They're honestly some of Apple's biggest critics. I feel like I've learned a lot about product design based on their ongoing feedback.

Very different show, but I enjoy the Accidental Tech Podcast (aka "ATP"). It's a weekly news show that focuses on tech (mainly Apple). They do a good job with technical details and talking through tech product decisions (why

Great rec! This is one of my favorite technical podcasts. The host does a great job getting into the technical details of the subjects while still appealing to non-techincal listeners. It's really impressive.

I really like ruby's method naming convention for this: * `sort(arr)` returns a sorted copy of the input * `sort!(arr)` returns the sorted original methods that return booleans end in `?`, like `arr.sorted?` It's just a convention

Is there a rule to block modals like this? I can add site-specific things, but I can't seem to find anything that blocks all overlays.

Next.js is cool, but afaik takes a server, right? Gatsby is nice because you get React for component re-use + styling, but it builds into regular HTML+JS files and can live on (abundant, free) static site hosts.

My work has moved largely from Ruby to JS, so I've been enjoying Gatsby! It's probably overkill for simple sites, but I like how customizable it is.

I think which fits your community is really dependent on your use case. Discord has great tools around moderation and membership tiers; it's designed for users you don't trust. Slack is much more for a community where everyone kno

Once I wrapped my head around when you can and can't use relative imports, I've been pretty ok with them. The think that irks me is whether they work changes based on where you've invoked Python from. `./bin/my_scri

Spreadsheets are great. I just wish folks would use a more appropriate tool for what they really want: a very light-touch database. Something like Airtable is perfect for structuring a bit of data into rows and columns. But, nothing beats t

Not uBlock specifically, but there's a robust content blocking system there. AdGuard is a pretty good one!
