I agree. I’m a big fan of the DEATH story arc, but outside of Mort and Reaper Man, Amazing Maurice might be my favorite book in the series. So very well written and felt like Pratchett was at his best.

There is no better way for people to show that they understand message passing and the actor model than to have them implement a simple scene in Scratch.

standing out is not something that established big companies are interested in doing. Generally they’re much more interested in expanding their share of whatever market they’re in than expanding to new markets. That is much different than

This is a huge thing to me and many others who I’ve spoken with. My spouse seems to be able to handle it just fine, but to me it’s just a wall of sound all around me and it has led to frustration that they cannot hear me and I cannot hear t

These look really neat. Can you expand on what you mean by full linux distro? Can it out of the box run something like Debian/Ubuntu/Arch or is it vendor specific distribution?

completely understand that, and you’re right on the small following. I like the high energy (for baseball that is) offensive heavy style of play, but I know I’m an outlier vs the MLB fan base size. Great site and wish you much continued su

I figured there had to be, and that there might be a way to figure it out with connecting up developer tools from mobile Safari but I never pursued that path so might be completely wrong.

This would be awesome! I love plaintext sports and the minimalist aesthetics of it. Curious, it seems college baseball scores are generally not as easy to find as others. Do they tend to be behind more restrictive APIs, or is it more just t

There is one of these for sports scores too and it drives me crazy that there’s not an easy way to use it directly. For instance, I like to keep up with my colleges sports teams, but I don’t need the live tracker stuff (if I wanted that I’d

Bluetooth, to me, is representative of the current state of mainstream tech in general. We have a lot of things that are build well enough to work, but few things built well enough to work well.

Yeah, but if you don’t do it right it takes a long time (relative to the 30s-1m if you do it right) and you’ll have a mess on you’re hands… or floor… afterwards. I look at the pithy little bits in this quote as being standins for the larger

Similar, less included in the distribution. Doom to me generally feels a little more opinionated but easier to reason about. They’re both quite good at what they do, and they do similar things.

Coasting is the norm for most people once they get past the “up or out” part of their career. There’s a lot of variance in how long that period lasts depending on the line of work, but after that for every 10 people you’ll have: 2 who work

There are few words that have lost as much meaning and impact in the last decade than “mentor”. An assigned mentor isn’t one. They’re either a boss, a peer, or an onboarding helper. Mentorship is deeper, lasts longer than just being at one
