Not the author but I'm making a similar tool currently, and the reality is no because of the nature of it being character based. You can theoretically have "artistic" polygons where it renders using a mixture of characters to

Don’t forget the salary for every dev team having the Atlassian Jira Jockey to mess around with the board all day and make sure the next 7 epics worth of tickets are in the 9 columns and in prioritised order. Where would we be without them!

There was an interesting study recently that showed coming off actually caused weight re-gain an order of magnitude worse than yo-yo dieting. The media spun it as GLP-1’s being evil and pointless, quelle surprise, but really it hints toward

We’re seeing similar in the UK, fast food restaurants are having to adapt and dieting companies have outright collapsed. Sounds conspiratorial, but when you look at the revenue impact this is having, the deluge of baseless articles about it

I switched to Helix and ZelliJ, ZelliJ really allows you to setup some IDE features and helix is like the surface layer of Vi. Combined it becomes a very powerful setup!

Clearly a generation of mobile-first designers not understanding how desktops are used. It’s dreadful, it still blows my mind that out of Windows, macOS and Linux, my Linux desktop with KDE has the most premium experience now.

My main gripe is that the visual shenanigans alone were enough of a change, why rearrange the buttons?! In the early iOS beta, the new tab button was at the top of Safari, as far away from your thumbs as it could be. Genuinely believe Apple

Everyone already died a painful and cruel death for the first four seasons, that was what made the show so compelling to watch. From that point on, everyone gets 10 inch thick plot armour, and then the last two episodes skip a whole season

If they used the learning of the Steam Machines ARM translation layer to ship a Steam Phone, I’d jump on it day one even if all it had was basic phone apps and games.

My experience aligns with this, although I often find the error being used for non-errors which is somewhat of an overcorrection, i.e. db drivers returning “NoRows” errors when no rows is a perfectly acceptable result of a query. It’s odd t

Wild reading the news earlier to see Iran is making a concerted effort to influence Scottish Independence. Is the idea to weaken the UK? To what end? Also, if it’s being done to us, surely we’re doing it back? The CIA and MI6 are no strange

Exactly that - once it’s shipped it’s shipped. Doesn’t matter if the code is “clean” or “maintainable” or whatever. The longer it’s not released for sale, the more debt you’re incurring paying the staff. I’ve worked with a few ex-game devs

I think the person you’re replying to has made a mistake: I looked extensively last night and there’s no mention of the Steam Controller having dual stage triggers. However, the Steam Frame Controllers do. Seems weird they would add them on

I’ve made a very lucrative career moving from .NET to BEAM. I don’t even work with it currently but the fact I’ve shipped it for some pretty niche systems shows versatility and consistently goes in my favour when getting hired.

D2 has a lot of merits but there’s little that sells it over PlantUML or Mermaid - I do feel like diagrams-as-code is still waiting for a killer program that makes everything else obsolete. I’m forever chasing that dragon. In the meantime I
