I know leetcode hate is a popular theme on this website but frankly I think it’s overblown. You can basically solve any leetcode easy or medium if you understand like ten basic concepts (that you should know anyway) and then spend maybe a w

He never claimed refterm was a fully working terminal ready to use. He said it was a renderer. The entire point of refterm was: <casey> Windows Terminal is slow at rendering things <microsoft> Yes, rendering is a hard

That website is unusably slow for me on Brave, any idea if I need to enable my GPU or some setting like that?

"Happens to be right" is kind of misleading here. It's not like he "happened" to call tails on a coin flip or something. Microsoft has a history of writing unreasonably shitty software, abstracting it to all fuck wi

If you already know how to code and you’ve already been working, what situations do you find yourself in where you need the piece of paper? I’m in the same situation, self taught, dropout, been working for a nearly a decade—except no one ha

Hmm, it's the opposite for me, somehow reaching my ring finger toward tilde just feels easier than curling my left pinky downward toward left ctrl. Plus my muscle memory is used to moving up and to the left to find escape.

Here's my setup on a standard Apple Magic Keyboard: caps lock -> ctrl tilde -> escape left ctrl -> tilde I borrowed this from the Happy Hacking Keyboard layout and haven't looked back since. I can

I used to feel this way until I heard an explanation that made it click ever since. Small talk is a channel with a single bit of information, which is "I am not your enemy." This is different from "I am your friend." It&

Okay, but then why optimize at all? Computers are fast, why not just run HTTP everywhere? What’s the point of the article? My Mac mini runs at three whole billion clock cycles per second. If we’re going to depend on hardware to make our arg

At first I was wondering, wait, then how do you talk to the server from the browser? ...Wait, if you control both the client and server, why even use HTTP? I feel like there's this distressing trend where web programmers export their p

This seems completely pointless: either you understand how to solve the question, in which case you don't need any of this, or you don't, in which case all of this won't help you. Reminds me of Magnus Carlsen saying his bigge

I guess I have the opposite advice. You literally just use it. It takes about two weeks to get back to your old speed, and then after that everything becomes an additional superpower. I started using vim because in high school a guy I respe

Do people actually write detailed commit messages? After years of buying into writing good commit messages, nowadays I usually just write "save" or "lol" and not once have I regretted it. If I'm looking through old

I guess my question then is: assume for a second Amjad has a legitimate grievance that Riju copied repl.it. (I hoped my comment would show that this is at least not a completely outlandish claim.) In that hypothetical scenario: Sure, Amjad

For those calling Amjad's apology insincere: what would convince you otherwise? He's stated plainly that he did x, x was wrong, and he's sorry for doing x (x being making legal threats and abusing his power). Do you need him

Good essay overall, but this footnote in particular stood out to me: > [2] Tiger parents, as parents so often do, are fighting the last war. Grades mattered more in the old days when the route to success was to acquire credentials while

I guess my problem with this (and with the idea of the "right way" to give an apology in general) is, what if you weren't the bad guy unequivocally? Say someone punches me and out of anger I stab him. I apologize for stabbing

Is your argument that arenas don't scale because user-provided data is variable in size? Although arena memory is casually described as "allocate one huge chunk of memory up front," you are not literally only allocating one b

The worst and most common argument I’ve heard for the daily standup is that it somehow facilitates team bonding and and passive, “osmosis-like” transfer of knowledge. Like... why would you ever do x with the vague intention of getting y as

Did nobody bother to read the original post and OP’s responses? They are clearly aiming to be more than just a calendar, but rather a centralized place and improved UX for all of your notifications, including apps that don’t currently suppo
