yep. It's curious how it was attached to his name. Maybe a bit of the Mandela Effect going on. Regardless, I can personally vouch for the method. It's so stupid but it worked for me. Draw a grid on a piece of paper. Mark an X on t

I always see recommendations on /r/HomeServer for using a laptop and I always shudder a bit. I had a battery swell on a Macbook. The thought of leaving a laptop running unattended for months at a time, possibly stuffed in a garage

In my experience metrics aren't used to evaluate. They are used to justify decisions management has already made. Management will never tell you, but they almost certainly have hidden metrics (or, simply, biases). But the discovery o

I see the difference being passive vs. active. The FDA would be active. Getting a bad product, finding a lawyer, filing a court case, getting a court date, going to trial would all be passive. It requires every individual to seek justice in

I don't know that I agree with that. I recently had to fix a few bugs because some devs forgot, or simply didn't know, that lifecycles still exist. We have reached a period of time where junior devs exist that did not cut their te

I've always found it odd that people want to share this sort of thing. Such as live coding videos or live editing. People change behavior when they are being watched. Even when I know I'm being recorded and no one is watching, I f

people that romanticize Flash are selectively remembering the cool uses such as Newgrounds and Homestar Runner. They are forgetting Flash ads, which were stuffed on a page to the point they would crash your browser. Or the constant fun of h

the timing is suspect. But I imagine having to deal with crypto bouncing all over and bubbles popping every few years is an incredible headache for them. With the fact that their profit is even negative on certain GPUs. Who would want to de

nope. GC is thanks to John McCarthy, himself, when he invented LISP around 1959.

It's probably even more humorous if you understand that Scheme was created because Gerald Jay Sussman and Guy Steele wanted a way to experiment with Carl Hewitt's actor model, which is based on message passing. Which, itself, was

Quake and id Software were pioneering things we just take for granted now. I remember playing QuakeWorld when it came out, on Linux, over a dial up modem. You had ping times of 200-300ms and it was playable . You have to remember at the ti

CapRover is another self-hosted PaaS. The problem with straight Docker is you're left to deal with iptables and everything else on your own. Even the self-hosted PaaS offerings don't do a whole lot for you here, either. You&#x27

no one is paying Lenovo listing price. In fact, there is a 40% off coupon right there on the page, bringing that $1919 down to $1151. You may even be able to get deeper discounts through your employer corporate discount plan.

I had a manager that gave me shit for not being verbose enough. And our stand-ups were already in that 20+ minute territory. Why do we have a Jira board if no one wants to read it? It's all right there! No blockers. Next.

Looking at Facebook is like looking at the rings of a tree. You can see the time where they worried about Twitter. Then they feared Snapchat. Now you can see how TikTok is making them panic.

Looking at it in terms of sets is not really useful because the utility of TS is to exclude invalid behavior. JS allows many things which are not permissible in TS. Semantically, not syntactically. And TS can't infer a number of thin
