Well, they aren't just telling them not to do it, they are physically dissuading them from doing so. This is probably a lot more effective than a warning sticker to not put the cartridge in their mouth.

Both things can be true. Reagan did repeal this, for example: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_Health_Systems_Act_of...

Switching to decaf coffee was one of the best health choices I've ever made. I used to regularly have a mild headache on Sunday every week, but I haven't had that once since quitting. It's also super nice to be able to skip c

I had no idea that these were the plant responsible for so-called "Jizz Blossoms". There was always one week in the Fall where you'd smell 'em walking to class...

Great article! I hadn't heard of this, but it sounds like something I might suddenly be using in the near future! Also, I loved this line: "Given the way we're going, humanity in its present form isn't likely to exist th

Actually, I vaguely recall that if the divisor (or whatever the right number is) is negative, the result will be negative. But that's still consistent with math modulus, as is the Python approach. I always miss Python mod when I go to

Honestly, my favorite joke has been Billy West reading Trump quotes in Zapp Brannigan's voice on his YouTube channel.

Read through this whole thing thinking it was filling the "Block & Tackle"-sized hole in my heart, only to realize by the end that this was also authored by John Teti! I'm glad he's still doing it, cause B&T was

Isn't that what Micronaut does, from the creators of Spring? I never used the latter, but I really like working with the former.

Never knew that, but it doesn't surprise me. Christ, what a waste of 20 years and countless lives, but at least the rich got richer...

He says in one of the first 4chan messages that he's not actually a Lord, he just bought a fake certificate, dressed in a suit, and convinced his bank to have "Lord" added to his credit/debit card.

Wow, I had seen that meme with the face in two panels, but I had no idea it originated in Arthur!

Not sure if it also happened in a movie, but that's definitely from a scene in Better Call Saul.

I agree they are great, especially for simple icons that work as SVG. Support for SVG favicons, however, keeps me from using them: https://caniuse.com/link-icon-svg

Funnily enough, that's actually how grocery stores used to operate: people would bring a list of items they wanted to the store, and the employees would go get them. Piggly Wiggly ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig

Seems like an odd thing to mention. They are arguing that records are better than data classes, but part of their argument is "maybe, in the future, at some point, I don't know, it will be as easy to do this thing with records as

All the backend projects I work on were originally written in Java. I'll admit that Streams and Lombok make it a somewhat pleasant experience to work with, at least compared to when I used it in college (I think Java 8 was newest?). Bu

To quote Francis Ford Coppola, "Most directors have one masterpiece by which they are known. Kurosawa has at least eight or nine."

Man, I hadn't heard of this feature before, and tried it out after reading this. It's so much nicer!

I agree with most of these, but I pretty strongly disagree with #10 (don't use `!= null`). The reasoning is that you can use `null` and `undefined` to mean different things, like `null` being "no first name" and `undefined` m

Maybe they could address the whole "there is a way to circumventing the system" thing? I mean, they own the system, so they should probably be responsible for any circumvention.

I was always a big fan of Optionals, but having learned Kotlin this year, I was pleasantly surprised at how much non-nullable types seem to remove the need for them. And non-nullable can be just as ergonomic as Optionals with the `?:` opera

I think Mike from Newgrounds is the lead developer on the project, or at least the guy who created it.

This has been my experience with AngularJS 1 and TypeScript as well. Looks like there's at least some support for it (Quote the link: You get autocompletion hints and type-checking as you're writing components, even in expressions

This guy is doing that: https://m.youtube.com/user/nikrijavec I've only watched the two hour compilation of the first year, but I think he has a lot more videos that are probably more in depth.

I completely agree. On my next app, I was forced to use AngularJS (in 2017, somehow), but did get to use TypeScript (which is somewhat hobbled by having to use Angular templates), and this is exactly what we're doing now: rewriting com

I completely agree! Throwing away your code and starting over is failing to atone for the sins of the past, and I feel like it prevents you from learning or growing as a programmer. That's why I don't think I'll ever rewrite

I remember joining there when they announced they would have medals (Xbox 360 achievements had just become a thing, and were big). Played a lot of great games and had some fun chatting, too! But the one I maybe think of the most is Desktop
