Reminds me of simpler times not too long ago, when we used to run an entire startup by simply rsyncing files to production via Gitlab CI after tests passed after every commit.

Growing up in India it was pretty common to see others in school use fountain pens, although most (including me) used gel pens due to the impracticality and cost of fountain pens. Gel pens feel so much better than regular ball point pens

If that were the case it would be super ironic that they were trying to nitpick on Jeremy's behaviour (if we can even call it that) when they couldn't get their shit together themselves. Especially when the CoC requires vague thin

Is support for nested routes going to be added any time soon? If I don't want a full page reload when clicking a new tab for example? Or if I want to implement the age old header, sidebar main content layout without importing the heade

Faster prototyping, I can ssh into a RasPi wirelessly and control the gpio via my terminal like a REPL, for the ESP I need to keep flashing newer firmware and control it via USB to serial. Feels a bit clunkier although not a huge difference

What if my website tries to load a JS file that only foxnews.com loads (maybe with a less restrictive CORS config)? I'd be able to tell if you visited Fox news recently, correct?

Can confirm I've had a similar experience, especially recently. A 4g hotspot worked perfectly for my work from home situation up until July. Post July I started seeing significant degradation in connection quality on Zoom calls that di

This looks promising. Maybe this can replace the need to use Jupyter or Matlab for some simple research or dataviz use cases

I would agree with you if we were talking about leetcode style data structure/algorithm questions, but system design is almost always relevant. I found 'Designing Data-Intensive Applications' to be a useful book beyond interv

Even after reading a gazillion posts about setting up and using WSL/WSL2 I had no idea something like Windows Terminal existed! Someone seems to have made a Quake style dropdown too for it: https://github.com/flyingpie&

I tried my best to use WSL but ran into a never ending list of issues 'this is a known issue with WSL' or 'known to not work with WSL, try updating to WSL2' whenever I tried to use fairly common tools. A lot of things li

Buzzfeed News has a lot of excellent journalism. Even in its non US editions, like India for example. They cover a lot of important stories that the mainstream outlets refuse to touch. Like other comments have already mentioned Buzzfeed (

Not being sarcastic, my claustrophobia kicked in and my breathing literally became a bit heavier as I imagined sitting in a metal tube without windows. Had never considered how psychologically important windows are, before.
