This is precisely why I quit my job two jobs ago. The CEO yelled at one of my coworkers (for something petty) and made her cry in front of the entire company. I had a job interview scheduled for the next Monday before the end of the day. It

I think I paid $1.99 for this 5 or so years ago. Hands down the best $1.99 I've ever spent.

So, apparently everyone else in the entire world gets the "don't touch garage door springs" talk from a parent or other responsible adult as a child. I didn't (and my brother did!!!). About six months after moving into m

I think what's missed most in all of the talk about opiods lately is that there are people who need them just to function, and not for reasons of addiction. In January of 2014 I broke my hand. Not just a fracture. I completely shatte

As others have said; Rust is very stable now. I started trying to learn Rust at 0.7 (maybe a bit earlier, I can only find references to 0.7 in a few projects of mine). Boy howdy did that feel like an exercise in futility. I would set it asi

The same thing happened to me about 4 months ago except it was deadlifts. I think I somehow let my back rotate a bit when I was on my way down. An MRI revealed a slightly bulging/dehydrated L4/L5 disc. My leg days have since been

Without also requiring bikes to come with speedometers* I think this is absurd. The whole reason speed limits for motor vehicles is a reasonable concept (regardless of the speed limit itself being reasonable) is that all motor vehicles made

Personally I'd recommend "Don't Break the Oath"[0] or "Melissa"[1]. But really their whole LP discography can be listened to in an afternoon. King Diamond as a solo artist has been a bit more prolific though. 0

An aunt of mine had two (or three?) miscarriages before having her first child. Each time she was absolutely devastated. Honestly I'm pretty surprised that anyone would find that hard to understand. I'm not really big on children

On that note: I consider "Black Metal: Evolution of the Cult" by Dayal Patterson a must read for any fan of black metal. Patterson went straight to the sources as much as possible and managed to paint a complete and (perhaps more

I take extreme exception to their characterization of the beginnings of black metal. Not just because of the unfortunate dismissal of technical ability. Rather, anything that doesn't start off by mentioning Venom and Bathory and inst

Crystal started out as being more or less "compiled Ruby" (it's changed a bit since I first came across it). As such that means it uses "nil" just like Ruby does. And Ruby, being heavily inspired by Smalltalk, took

It's not JavaScript easy, but it's not too hard once you wrap your head around Cell, RefCell, Rc, and friends. Here's an example using GTK that does something vaguely useful, I have no idea if it's considered idiomatic,

I've always had a problem with Chesterton's Fence precisely because it is a sort of status quo bias that can be (and is) used as an argument in favor of backwards social norms and traditions. It's one thing to say "Don&#

This is really cool! I took some OCaml code I'd written a while ago and pasted it in and the output was shockingly legible even with the calls to functions in stuff like Caml_int32 and Pervasives. Very impressive!

If you haven't read the code for how Elixir handles Unicode support [0] I highly recommend doing so. At compile time it reads from several Unicode Character Database text files [1] and then defines a whole slew of functions using the c
