If you’re a Git CLI user then I can highly recommend using SCM Breeze [1] which makes things a bit prettier and more convenient. It gives you a shorthand for various commands and improves default output formatting. For example, ‘git status’

I don’t think you have any obligation to continue supporting the software, but give yourself more credit! You’re making dozens (hundreds? thousands?) of developers lives significantly better. You’re helping bring the finance industry out of

I edited my comment to add the /s to try and make it more clear but I think I made it less clear. Whoops. I think there are legitimate reasons they don’t give it away for free, like some replies have mentioned. I was trying to draw att

Maybe my Apple fanboyism is showing but I think the Airpods had exactly that magic combination you described. The case with a battery, seamless pairing, great battery life, reasonable EQ, and iconic style made them a smash hit.

And you can’t talk about the Apple Watch without talking about the other half of its wearables: Airpods, which are near-universally lauded and undoubtedly innovative. And who was talking about wearables before Apple entered the game? Only n

If you’re Microsoft, why not just make it 100% free? It’s 11 year old software that’s so irrelevant that they can’t be bothered to support anymore, right? What’s the harm? Oh wait, for 99% of users there is no difference between Office 2010

Chrome uses V8, which is the same JS engine that Node is built on top of. As the name implies, it’s sort of wicked fast. IIRC Firefox uses their own engine called Spider Monkey. I don’t know of anything outside of Mozilla which uses it. I h

Just wondering, does FB still use PHP / Hack for new services? I personally don’t mind the language but for some reason I imagine it being unpopular internally.

I don’t think there would be any standing for a lawsuit. The bar can deny entry or kick you out for any reason. You’re not entitled to entry.

Then I guess the only thing we can do is create a Karma Exchange Commission to regulate karma transactions. Obviously we must provide karma wages to those working for the Commission, so we’ll also need to collect a karma tax for funding pur

Yeah, the real curse is on the programmers who are going to be out of jobs much sooner than people anticipate. All the talk about the low quality of code got me thinking: if humans aren’t reading the code, then the only thing that matters i

> In the months before his death in a duel in 1832 at age 20, Galois laid out a new theory of polynomial solutions. That is one hell of a life.

This seems like gatekeeping. You’re describing the awesome power of software: it can be updated and infinitely replicated and is therefore more tolerant of mistakes. Just because the field has this boon doesn’t mean that those working in it

The solution became immediately obvious to me after reading your comment. This leads me to believe that the question isn’t testing for math ability nor intelligence. It just requires you to realize the trick. Maybe it tests for creativity &

For sites without print-specific media queries (so basically all websites) I use dev tools to delete all the DOM nodes I don’t want to appear in print.

In San Francisco at least, if you make even 100k you can still make significant retirement contributions. I can’t really think of any place where you could not save up on 300k income.

Learning to “let go” has really helped out my mediocre cooking skills. We really need a Bob Ross for the cooking world; someone to help us embrace all of our tasty little accidents.

The poverty line is so high primarily because of housing prices, right? Costs of tents, food, etc. don’t really scale in the same way that housing prices do, so I don’t think the comparison is worth much.

Ahhhh. I’ve spent countless hours debugging “Guru Meditation” errors from FreeRTOS on my ESP32 dev boards. I always wondered what the heck that meant. Turns out I was just not in on the joke.

I was really happy when Gav from the Slow Mo Guys was finally able to capture the shockwave of glass breaking a couple of weeks ago. Until recently, it was impossible for them to see because it happens so dang fast. It only took a mind-bogg

That was so well made that it took me a while to realize where the edits were. The seamless blending of slow and fast motion is superb. I really enjoy watching The Slow Mo Guys on YouTube, but this video actually scratches a different itch

I am interested in knowing which readers are technical enough to know or care what cURL is, but not technical enough to understand that the vulnerability isn’t in cURL itself.

How does remote assistance work? My imagination says latency would make that really unsafe.
