One of the best articles I've read in awhile. I'd love to know more about this line: "There’s also a little flag in the DCS byte that tells the phone whether to self-destruct the message after sending it" And also, how d

I've been learning (mostly 2D) graphics as my side project for a couple years now. I spend a ton of time on this project. I still feel like a beginner. It is one of the more complex topics I've ever delved into. I've crawled

Agreed. Also: top-left logos should link to the root (syncthing.net) not to a sub-root (forums.syncthing.net). When I land on your forum site and I want to know what syncthing is, I expect to find the answer by clicking the top-left logo in

But, https://play.golang.org/p/naE55o3_xFP I guess the first link is converting the float constants to ints at compile-time? (edit: oh, it's actually mentioned in the article. I should read more carefully)

After 15 years, I still struggle to test if a string is empty in shell languages. Do I use square brackets, double square brackets, equal sign, double equal sign, test -n, set -q, wtf mate? Do I need to wrap my string variable in double quo

I just implemented an IMAP parser/server in Go. I found myself thinking (wishing) a lot for HTTP, JSON, stateless connections, etc. I'm happy to see someone has taken the lead in improving such an entrenched technology.

Love the work you're doing on observablehq mbostock! I am really impressed with the volume and variety of content you create. Especially love the generative art stuff!

Cool! Took me a couple minutes to figure out that I click the mouse to swing the sword. Before that, I had tried just about every keyboard button. Only while going to click "quit" did I realize that the mouse swings the sword. Pla

Essentially, you can write CLI code using functions and struct types following a certain convention, and then use these tools to generate code for flags, env vars, config files, subcommands, etc. func AddTask(opt Opt, path string) ..

I'm an American who was lived and worked in New Zealand in Australia. I couldn't believe how easy it was to do taxes there, there was basically nothing to do.

I don't know about any video, but I have met Tibetan refugees in northern India and heard their stories about escaping via the Himalayan mountains, and the need to carefully avoid Chinese guards. The stories were haunting. Traversing t
