I think we're talking about different things. The rule is: nothing should appear to the left of your tabs - use spaces everywhere else. Here's what it should look like (if you really want to go full-alignment): class Demo {

You do the indenting with tabs and the layout with spaces. Then it doesn't break

So what value is there in posting a link to a book? Should I set a bot to trawl Amazon for tech books and post the links here?

If you think time-to-market, and overall cost are going to be improved by building your vanilla website in Rust or Go, vs Rails, then I think you may be surprised

Google are planning to release a native dashcam feature soon. Perhaps a Pixel exclusive feature, perhaps not. https://9to5google.com/2023/05/16/pixel-dashcam-personal-saf...

Couldn't have found this video at a better time - I have an assignment on blimpy due tomorrow.

That's cool, I didn't know that! But now I'm wondering where that would be a better solution than just using the `Hash#values_at` method...?

It's more like an escape room than a speed run. First person to watch a specific youtube video, which contains the password, wins. Or maybe you're literally locked in a room, and you have to bootstrap the PC to the point where you

Indeed it's hard to make unambiguous statements. But somehow business leaders do, and subordinates are able to make reasonable assumptions, ask clarifying questions and produce something that approximates what the business requested. P

If you read my post carefully, you'll see I call it a "hot take", which should indicate it's a bit tongue in cheek. But more importantly, you'll notice that I used the word "eventually", with implies that

Here's a different hot take: GPT/LLM/AI will eventually make all languages obsolete. You tell it what you want and it'll just output machine code directly.

Some types of low level programming require you to know about CPU architectures and op codes, but certainly not all types of programming. You can be an excellent web dev without knowing how a CPU works, for example.

They are basically quarks. If the gap between any two quarks gets too big, a third quark will pop into existence between them*. *I may have grossly misunderstood my physics lecturer. It was a long time ago.

All four of those bullet points are flawed, and I think that's the point. They are _perceived_ reasons to not blog, rather than actual, legitimate reasons. That's my take anyway.

Off-topic: Did any major OS successfully implement sub-pixel anti-aliasing on monitors that had been rotated by 90°?

My problem with the quote system is that it's largely opaque until you run into it. Yes, you can pore through the documentation and find the relevant quotas, but did you find them all? Spoiler alert: no, you didn't. I know they ar

Seems like it's not really a drop-in replacement for Reddit - looks more like a Deviant Art or a YouTube replacement to me? A lot of Reddit (like HN) is linking to 3rd party content, and not much of it is actually user-generated OC. Ni
