Interesting, I never ran across this at MS. The more you know! Thanks.

I had years of Java experience when I joined MS and started writing C#. I found the tooling to be generally ickier, and was surprised by a few gaps in the ecosystem. For example, there is nothing (official) comparable to javadoc for C#. Doc

I bought a new car in 2019 and it has about 10,000 miles on it. I could sell it for what I paid for it, which is completely absurd. If I knew I’d be able to buy another car in ~6 months, I’d sell it in a second. But the auto industry backlo

Well you wouldn’t want any ~~~centralized~~~ entity having control of the appetizers, would you??? Much better to store every menu of every restaurant on thousands of computers and use menu updates to decimate coral reefs.

I totally agree that China isn’t going to step up on climate. I don’t think there is another power able to drive international consensus like the US on this issue. Whether that’s a blessing or a curse is mostly a matter of perspective :)

I feel like you’re arguing a straw man; is anyone actually saying or thinking that the US is the sole cause of climate change? Everyone I talk to about climate is under the impression that China is the big bad wolf (although that’s overly-s

Like seemingly everything in the modern world, it depends on your credit worthiness. Some mortgages also come partnered with homeowners insurance, and those policies are what often lead to sales being blocked by even minor issues.

I usually try to avoid working with URLs as bare strings like this, both for readability and correctness (URL encoding is tricky). With ‘requests’ you can do something like pass a dictionary of your query params and it takes care of forming

One of the worst things about twitter is the flood of “unroll” bots in the replies for every single thread that gets any amount of attention. Personally, I don’t find threads hard to navigate or consume, but clearly plenty of users would ra

hahahaha! In which case, can't recommend it enough!

Absolutely; in my experience, they always ask (you probably won't have to be the one that brings it up). Healthcare is expensive, at least get your money's worth!

Yup, this is just a literature review and there have been no human studies on this specific scenario.

Ah, thanks! The title is wildly wrong, then.

Looks like the IP is a twitter.com one, or possible GitHub's. Either way, it has essentially nothing to do with the copyright claim.

Tangential addendum: I used to smoke pot all the time . From my mid-teens to mid-twenties. At least once a day, increasing over time to 3-5-∞ times a day. In the last year, I have significantly reduced my marijuana usage to less than once

I’ve been a Facebook user since 2008. I regularly use it today. I don’t consider myself or any of my Facebook friends “naive, dumb little users.” The interactions on Facebook in, say, 2010 were decidedly less awful than they are today. In 2

For sure. The circular dependencies and the turtles-all-the-way-down nature of the crypto ecosystem is kind of terrifying to behold. Like watching a car crash. I have a feeling that this all will unravel exactly as everyone has predicted; b

Well, they can also just…not give you a redemption at all. Even if you’re an “authorized” party, they can delay the redemption indefinitely. It’s not so much a house of cards as it is…nothing at all.

It’s really hard on your family too. I had a few friends in high school who’s dads drove trucks, some of them single fathers. Those kids almost certainly did worse in school and got into more shit because their dad was gone all the time. It

The blog reiterates that using Redis as your primary database is totally possible, and a good idea even. I think that's the biggest Redis anti-pattern out there. I would never put data in Redis that I wasn't comfortable losing a

Eh, "anti-patterns" are like "best practices". It really all depends on the actual situation (and hard data). I like to think that programmers get paid the big bucks to actually think, not just do what a blog post tells

I agree that the notch is a bit large to just be a 1080p webcam. I don’t hate it though, aesthetically. If the next iteration doesn’t have Face ID, I’ll be a bit annoyed. Seriously considering trading in my M1 MacBook Air for the 14”. Tim C

Agreed, and the mini has different I/O that you might prefer (USB-A, 10 gig eth). Also, it’s smaller (surprise, “mini”). Plus, clamshell mode on a MacBook just isn’t the same as a desktop for “always-on” use cases.

I’d call IPFS immutable rather than permanent. Which is a cool idea for media files at least, but isn’t very useful for something like a blog post. I think the “HTTP is obsolete” claim is a bit laughable. IPFS is essentially just bittorrent
