I'm trying to figure out if this is using MathJax or KaTeX or what. Pretty neat with the number tetrahedrons.

At first I thought, "No, that's gotta be at least 25." Then I remembered what universe I'm in: https://ourcommunitynow.com/film/sinbads-shazaam-the-strange...

It seems to me that I began hearing a lot about TDD during an era of abundant web development work in the early 2010s. I think that kind of work lends itself well to TDD since there are a lot of well established design principles and conven

Thanks for this question. I've also been curious about this and have been almost embarrassed to ask :).

One thing jumps out in my mind. I think of the 2000s as being the decade in which tech companies that survived the dot com bust turned into tech giants. And these companies would go on to rack up market caps that broke historical records.

But English is not simply a language used for international communication. It's also spoken natively by millions of people. People should be entitled to develop and express a literary culture or eloquence in their own native language w

Doesn't it seem like a common misconception that evolution takes eons? Without being an expert, it seems plausible that we've adapted biologically since venturing out from the tropics.

You left out the part where the buyer will also destroy the city in which the house is located purely out of spite if he is forced to go through with the purchase. That is, I fully expect Musk to go full troll mode and reverse bans on all t

Wow, awesome crypto work in that thread.

Has it been somehow confirmed that this was the cause of the issue or was it just that one guy's speculation? I don't see anything that confirmed this as the cause. Am I missing something in the linked content?

Didn't realize this was a PEP but I'm glad it was deferred. I have a bit of PTSD from my foray into Haskell and trying to understand the internals of libraries like attoparsec. The proposed `??` operator makes me think of things l

I wasn't really talking about the engineering/management divide. I was more talking about the culture of management as a profession and how misguided it's become. It's just like Paul G said. You have this whole class of

Isn't part of the problem actually that we're hiring at all for these kinds of positions? Why isn't it possible to invest in the people who already showed up and demonstrated motivation to get things done? The cynical (but ma

I didn't see the need to frame everything in the article as being so bad. I thought all those examples were awesome. I'll probably never do anything like them so as not to confuse people but I still think they were all interesting

by davesque 4y ago
Eh, I think they're just overdramatizing things. That's also exactly what I would have expected to happen.

by davesque 4y ago
Well, there's nothing new under the sun really. And I should have framed it differently because, even though I was a Mac user, I wasn't exactly a fanboi. I don't care so much to champion Apple products as I do to point out th

I'm not sure if the author of the linked post was being sarcastic but, as one of the rare Macintosh users of the era, I feel like I have to jump in here and point out that a lot of those original features weren't particularly orig

This would only be true if finding another job was a simple (and reliable) process for most people. I imagine you might come back and say, "But finding another job should be easy for a talented engineer!" To which I would say, nop

I love your psyche profile on this guy :). Insightful.

This is going to sound like I'm defending this guy which I'm not. It's also going to sound like a less technical point which I claim it isn't. I see some people chiming in here saying things like, "I've got a P

The thing I really miss about traditional forums is the lack of the up/down-voting feature. I think in a way it sometimes worked better when posts naturally bubbled to the top that simply had more active discussion. And if you rea

To clarify, my concern is much more about the privacy aspect than the security one. I agree that there's technically not much threat in giving up your first name. From a security standpoint, it doesn't really expose much more th

Maybe it's just embarrassing. And if someone were to ask why, would that really be a fair question? In this particular case, I don't have a complicated argument about security. I just generally expect to be able to remain anonymou

Yeah, who knows? Maybe the positional display tech works better than I imagine. I guess if it could narrow the viewing angle down to the eyes on a person's face, there wouldn't be much of a concern. But I have so many other questi

I don't want to be a naysayer, but my reaction to this is not positive. First of all, I wouldn't want random people in the airport to see my personal information. I guess the display can show different information depending on whe
