I've been tinkering with a language I call beep for a couple years now. It's sort of my programming equivalent of the old hot-rod sitting in the garage. I'll disappear for a weekend while I work on it and then not even think

I will never understand this attitude that everyone must like the same things, or that there must be justification for disliking something. And then of course you get the inevitable "oh well you just haven't had a real tomato&

There's a non-mutating version of `reject!` called `reject`. (Likewise there's a mutating version of `select` called `select!`.)

Suing is great and all, but do you have any idea how hard it is? How much work it is, and how financially and emotionally draining it is? You can't just call up a lawyer, tell them your story, and expect magic justice sprinkles to do t

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_(computing) . It's not a bug; it's a side effect of how pipelining works. (But obviously this has nothing to do with the link, since it's a Makefile, not assembly.

Hexagons are surprisingly common in nature! Honeycomb, columnar basalt, snowflakes, benzene, soap bubbles...

I was tempted to post the same thing. ESR points fingers, talks about how bloody important he is, and scoffs at the idea of getting a job like the rest of us. JWE faces facts, asks people to make their own judgment, and talks of getting a

I tried to build a simple Rust "hello world" + database web app the other day ( edit: not with Rocket) and after four hours I had nothing to show for it. I had a simple static app in just a few minutes, but I could not for the li

You've never heard of it, really? Do tell us all about the comprehensive research you've done on this matter.

You imagine right. It's on every checklist: check fuel quantity and type.

The aviation industry recognizes and accepts that people make mistakes, and that this is a simple fact of being human. Firing that mechanic without fixing the process wouldn't have done any good in the long run. Someone else would ju

Iceland is only a four-hour flight from Boston or Berlin. It's really quite a convenient location.

I suspect the writer was using the phrase "hundreds of millions" figuratively. When I worked there years ago there were already 14 billion API requests a day, iirc. (That number was public at the time, for the record.)
