Careful - the rules say you're not allowed to complain about downvoting. I've made this suggestion myself on a number of occasions in the past, probably different accounts. The quickest approach to problem fixing - the hn approa

I use 'like' as a sort of bookmark, rather than to tell someone I like their tweet. For that reason it's rare that I 'like' a tweet. I can review my likes as a refined timeline, greatest hits. Guess I'll hav

Do we need to use caps for SQL keywords? My understanding is that it served a purpose back in the days of monochrome screens, but modern IDEs colour the keywords so caps are now redundant. Though I don't use caps even without colouri

For me, "great tools like the race detector" sums up the article - the detector is fallible, and although every point in the article has some validity, they also could all be argued against, and the result is a bit of a house of c

What's the effect of using Dvorak or Colemak on things like vim? The hjkl for example get topsy-turvied.

Not sure why that comment's been voted down. Ultimately it's a question - voting down a question... Anyway, I'm not convinced surveilling the high profile people is going to alert you to the people who are off the radar, ie

Do we really still need the caps? I thought that was left over from monochrome days, but I don't use them on the cli either.

Nice. For a few years I had a desk in the middle of St Mary Graces Abbey cemetery. I believe the black death and great plague filled it. There were tunnels under my desk leading to The Tower, but they'd been blocked up years before

I find the simplest way to performance tune Go programs is to wait for the next release.

"things they didn't want to do (such as menial jobs) " -- I didn't say anything of the sort, there was nothing to interpret, that's pure projection on your part, so you're calling the British arrogant and lazy

Not sure what's unclear. Some people are pro-immigration, and some are anti-immigration, and some don't give a fuck, and some are undecided. The London wait staff you encountered, and the 65+ million people you didn't encou

Much mumbo jumbo in the comments. Immigration is seldom a problem anywhere. Excessive immigration is usually a problem everywhere. The coming of Britain's and Europe's immigration backlash was obvious nearly 20 years ago. Surp

The fact that it went viral is unfortunate. The whole thing was a non-story (two people meet, wow) with big pink headlines and two giddy voyeurs. The only thing worth noting was the marketing aspect.

"with backs to the hallway" - depending on how far away the hallway is this can be distracting. In the past I've sat with my back maybe a 1.5m from a wall, and the space between was used as a standard route by countless peop

I don't know that I've found things which I'm passionate about as much as I've found things I enjoy, or which intrigue me, and I pursue obsessively competitively in order to excel. Whatever it is, I become fairly skille

30 teams' services fit on 2-3 servers? We don't have anywhere near 30 teams, but at my last count end of last year there were ~250 repos, and everyday I get auto-emailed telling me I've been subscribed to a new repo. No way
