I'm trying to download the e-book and it links to a web site of the book content. Is there a way to consume this is a sane way on a mobile device?

The one that finally did it for me was the "Do you know x?" notification that I couldn't disable.

Can we stop putting huge pointless pictures at the top of blog posts? I had to scroll with my finger 6 times before I even got to any content. If you're going to inconvenience me that much it might as well be with ads.

It works the other way too. I'm relatively tall and when I'm in a loud crowded place hanging around shorter people I have no idea what they are saying to each other.

Vagrant abstracts virtual machines. If you want to simulate multiple machines on the same computer you need VMs. You can have multiple docker containers running in those VMs that communicate across VMs. You can then deploy to real hardware

For me it's the AK-47 for sure.

You can prove that code is referred to by other code in the same project. However, you can't prove if your exposed API is being used. For example, let's say you have an HTTP API endpoint and you're not sure if your front end

I would like to know more about the Ford sponsorship. First of all, why would they sponsor it? How much are they paying? Is there another bike share program that doesn't require me to be a moving Ford advertisement?

No reason to put "alien" in the headline expect to make it more click-baity.

I'm pretty sure this joke has been attempted every time anything is posted about soylent.

Then charge by weight. Just because someone is taller doesn't necessarily mean they weigh more or that I occupy more space. How about making seats narrower instead making me put my knees in the back of seat in front of me?

I for damn sure won't be subscribed to more than 1 at the same time. I would alternate every month. It makes no sense to be subscribed to all the things.

> there's no real value in [linting]. Because, the choices that can be controlled by a linter are, ultimately, not the choices that matter. Interesting. He says there is no value in linting and then follows it up with the main value

It's better than calling it an island which I would definitely assume means "visible".

Are you sure it's not just because it's impossible to find things so people search more?

I have a better proposal. Do nothing. It's cheaper and hasn't been proven to be any less effective.

Dwight Schrute said it best: “Would I ever leave this company? Look, I’m all about loyalty. In fact, I feel like part of what I’m being paid for here is my loyalty. But if there were somewhere else that valued loyalty more highly… I’m going

Sounds like classic survivorship bias.

So where do you live?

Thanks for mentioning this. I'm now pretty sure this is the reason some sites don't load at all in the app that I use.
