Your project sounds like something that definitely could come in handy. I forked it as a "bookmark". I particularly like the idea of storing the data in a local SQLite database. Not everything needs to be "web scale".

Great story, thanks for sharing. I believe that Joel's ideas like using source control, making a build in one step, having a bug database, having the best tools that money can buy, and writing a spec resonated with me in great part bec

This post left me with several questions. You mentioned that you want to improve drug cartel profit margins. Is that the reason why you want to connect to them directly instead of sharing your idea publicly? Are you planning to propose shar

As a developer, I don't "name" anything on Figma. The UX designer might. I have to work with what I get. I agree with OP that in general it promotes placing a lot of components side by side on a huge surface and you have to k

I agree. This is a common logical fallacy. The absence of proof is not proof of absence. a) There's no way to prove that this was the earliest recorded kiss. Others may have been recorded but they haven't been found (or the record

I'm over 50 and I play a lot of games. I do prefer longer, story-based games, but there are all kinds of games out there, including genres that you can play casually on short sessions (like roguelikes [1]). If you have a PC with a reas

Like any other technology before it, these ML models for generating derivative content will create benefits, and they will also be abused in the most dystopian ways possible to make the rich richer.

Not OP, but as I understand it, it is about adding tests to check what the behavior will be if the input parameters have values outside of the expected type. E.g. what will be the behavior of "add(a, b)" if a or b are a string, nu

As annoying as it can be for individuals, companies have a limited amount of resources that they can dedicate to ensuring compliance with IT security policies. Browsers in particular, since they run arbitrary code, require dedicated policie

Yes, I did. I used to have 3 monitors: the laptop on the left, 27" horizontal in the center, and 27" vertical on the right side. I switched to a single 4K 43" monitor (Dell U4320Q). I consider it the best thing I've ever
