$20 on Factorio is probably the best money I've ever spent on a game, having played over 1,000 hours. In other words, they've managed to make something endlessly addictive without any gambling element at all...

One issue is that once you've made someone a CTO, it's hard to hire above them without them leaving. To be honest, as someone who's been a CTO a few times, you probably don't want anyone with the title CTO until quite la

Don't use grep. Use ag[0], which is specifically designed for searching code. It's much faster, honors .gitignore, and the output can be piped back through grep if you like. ag FooBar | grep -v Baz It's in brew&#x2

I think the reason for this is that it pushes all the buttons your programmer brain wants pushed: designing building and debugging systems with a strong focus on optimisation. However it doesn't contain meetings, sprints, language oddi

If it's equal to or less than the volume of current motors, great! As any city dweller will know the real noise pollutant is mopeds anyway.

High Res scans are good, but particularly for both a mural or an oil painting, a huge amount of information is lost with a scan, however high res. It's also the case for almost any other medium. To take oil painting for example: a pa

I get that times change and what may once have been an acceptable work of public art may be less palatable. Certainly a mural showing the conquest of native Americans is perhaps not suited to a public space. However destroying it is totally

My old Physics teacher always said to put it on cornflakes. The surface area of all cornflakes in existence (back of the envelope) would result in totally harmless concentrations, undetectable above background. Of course getting the waste

Don't buy a smart TV, don't let your family/friends buy smart TVs. Buy a dumb screen and hook it up to an Apple TV, Chromecast etc. The 'smart' software is a privacy nightmare over which you have very little control

Don't bother with python 2 compatibility, it's EOL in a few months. And 2to3 will probably work but even that is more effort than it needs to be.

All you need to do to make this work with Python 3 is change your print statements (add parentheses) and change raw_input to input, as far as I can tell running it in python 3 locally. It seems to work perfectly with these ~20 seconds of ch

The change in the landscape. When RT was released ChromeOS was very much in its infancy, and Edge was 3 years away. It was also Windows 8, which was a crock in its own right.
