I’m curious about the cloud-based coding you’ve mentioned. What I’ve seen so far is interesting, but not terribly compelling to use day to day. It has a place, certainly, such as education or possibly interviewing. What about the author’s p

I don’t think it’s just particulates, Denver and the front range are routinely in the news for ozone issues [0]. I think that might be altitude related as well, though it may just be pollution. Den doesn’t quite make the top ten list of US

Yeah, the smell that comes with it in the fall and winter is something else. I like Denver, but the brown cloud is no fun. It’s a downer coming out of the hills on I70 into the city and seeing it hanging there.

Ouch, you are absolutely right. I’d been reading the article on my phone and it cut off around the ellipses. I missed 3/4 of the article.

Neat, but I’m missing the part where the author learned anything beyond the obvious: > … when you look at those writers’ punctuation, you can see, in a quick glance, how different they are. Wild. But beyond this and pretty pictures, what

Is the Texas Software PE exam still there? I looked into it years ago out of curiosity, but now I’m seeing that it might not be around any more[0] > NCEES discontinued the PE Software exam after April 2019. I think the industry would ben

Disagree. If you’re not using a Framework X or Y, suddenly SO becomes a lot less interesting. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re staying in you comfort zone. As an aside, totally subjective, but Google’s results have been degrading f

I think you’re probably right. I’d bet that most of the survey respondents are relatively new, or frequent and established contributors. The data are likely skewed towards these individuals and not representative. I may end up on the site i

None of the above. #1 is ruled out as he takes apart a number of plug receptacles, from “cheap” to “heavy duty” and “commercial grade”, none of them sport the bumps you’re describing. He also points out that not all plugs have holes (using

A similar incident happened to me about two years ago. Cats caught a bat around mid-late August, proudly brought it in and dropped it by me. Still kicking, the bat took off and flew into a ceiling fan. I called animal control, they were out

I’m hooked on the ergodox classic, but I’ve used an ergodox variant of some kind for at least 6 years now and won’t go back. The little ortho-linear keyboards that are popular now make me cringe, they look worse than laptop keyboards. I was

I don’t follow Linux kernel developments too closely, but if complexity in the Linux kernel is such a significant factor, then what prevents anyone from relying on a kernel without much of that complexity functionality built in (i.e., custo

Could fuchsia, as a google product/project, get the kind of traction that has contributed to the success of Linux? I think it possible, but somehow it doesn’t seem realistic. Would google’s competition flock to using google’s proprieta

That looks pretty great. I’m sold, I’ll give it a shot. I wonder if it blows away your existing config? Probably. I just recently dropped vim and my existing vim config (which took me forever to get autocomplete correctly), for nvim 0.5 wit

Spacemacs has holy-mode so it’s not just to make it emacs feel like vim. It’s curated and managed like a distribution, and in my opinion makes emacs much more accessible. I’d say in both cases, once you have editor support for syntax highli

Did you leverage the repl much in your process? I hear a lot about “repl-driven” development with Clojure and CL, but anytime I get experimental with it I find myself neck-deep in editor configuration, or simply wrestling with emacs keybind

Aeon flux on liquid television was absolutely weird, and that’s what made it so fun to watch. The longer versions that came out later were a huge disappointment. The B&B shorts on Liquid television were the first I’d seen of that show (
