That’s a funny guess. All those Egyptian troublemakers you hear about.

Church. Volunteering (best results serving meals, less success with food pantries). Poker games.

Yeah I’ve gotten real comfortable with the “skip” button or typing in my own idea of a realistic tip. The preprogrammed ones have gotten a bit much. I didn’t used to sweat this very often. But if this is how it is, this is how it’s gonna be

Sure, to each their own. I quit two years ago and have probably spent a few weeks of that programming. The place I left gave ICs a high degree of agency, and you run projects yourself, get the resources you need yourself. So the issue was n

> DE&I also means diversity of thought, especially when it's backed by data and financials. No it doesn’t. Don’t get me wrong, that would be nice and all, but that isn’t the point of DEI.

A previous workplace switched from this to a competitor, which had much worse graphing as far as I could tell. Seems like an important function for these tools! I wondered why they did that, I guess this is the answer.

With this series, I reckon one should not trouble oneself too much with “believability”.

Is there no performance gain that’s small enough to be not worth it? If there is, then we’re just haggling over where the line is. If there truly isn’t, well, enjoy that! Because you won’t be shipping.

It’s a lot simpler than that. Giving your product away shouldn’t be a “gotcha”. Nobody gets trolled with a free Netflix subscription.

I like Taleb’s example of the turkey on the farm. Days 1-999 are great! Plenty of food, space to roam around, protected from predators. Why would they expect day 1000 to be any different?

The situation is insane. The only way to navigate messages is “keep scrolling up”, no way to filter searches beyond a simple keyword search, there’s no read-only view so you lose your scroll position if you get a message, etc etc etc. The c

(This is down so I can’t read it) It has been amusing to watch the initial rampage about “Silicon Valley tech libertarians” turn into… confused silence, now that we don’t have anyone to yell at about all these other banks failing. I did see

At least we get typescript, I guess.

I promise you this: nothing about working with COM induced feelings of “transparency” or ease.

It’s very scary stuff, the Chinese government potentially getting its hands on the knowledge that I enjoy cute animal videos.

“The medium is the message.” Yes, the nitpicking over language is silly. In some cases, actually sort of pathetic. It is true that these messages can be overwrought and whatever else, but it literally doesn’t matter what the content is besi

I quit in spring 2021. I bounced around the US, living in a few different parts, witj family/friends. Driving across the continent so much really made me appreciate its beauty, particularly the western and southwestern parts. I sometim

It’s not helpful to say branches are only refs as a way of arguing branches don’t exist. But it is helpful in understanding how they work, what it means to pass a branch argument to git for some operation. When I understood the reflog and h

Amen. Really silly things happen too, like you go through all this process and then months later some hotshot asks “wait, why are we doing this?” when launch is imminent. Like we all agreed this was worth doing all along, right up to this v

Render React components without weird hanging bugs and stuff like that. At least I was never able to get it to. And whichever DOM implementation you pick will either be early and lacking features, or not intended to work with Deno. My use c

The doc about pinning seems really good. But I don’t understand what about it is necessary for something like middleware. Glad Rust is working for others, and I find it interesting to read about. but I don’t know if I could or would ever us

I was lucky to see Hedberg before he died much too young. One of the times I’ve laughed hardest in my life is when he said “if I stand on this mic cord and talk for a while and then let it go, you’ll hear a bunch of jokes all at once”.

Oh I didn’t say anything about webpack. I haven’t used the GitHub features you’re talking about but that sounds like a build to me!

That’s true, I guess you can just run those locally. But if there’s CI in the picture the “build step” is a fait accompli, as far as setup and maintenance and so forth.
