HP Alm seemed to require IE where I work in the past 6 months. I told the person asking me to use HP Alm that I had no way of installing IE, with insinuations that the ask was BS. Probably outdated version or not a hard requirement...

I found the rotation inconvenient as well. As the instructions in the bottom suggest, arrow keys can be used to skip over the times, which was good. It would be neat try having the up/down change the time (as they currently do) and le

While some might be more rigorous about working on a commit at a time, a couple other helpful bits are: - Cleaning up print() calls and similar debug - It's a first-pass review of your own changes; re-read docstrings/comments, and

I've got a slightly different version of that last rule in mine: *.sw? Since I'm messy enough to sometimes end up with multiple of them for a few files. (Also, not messing with flash files in git, or in general...) But ha

Same... Used the Pixel 2 before that. Probably will buy a spare 4a on ebay soon.

I for one caught on that the writing was analogous to, but more subtle than, "It sounds simple, you can just do blah, right?!; but actually you can't! So we had to do this complex thing to get it to work." So yeah, as noted,

That was a piece of information I missed, then! Definitely a nice usecase to keep in mind. For me, I'm often either (1) sharing diagrams outside of github (e.g. email), as well as (2) generating a bunch of diagrams based on code or wh

I come from past experiments with (py)graphviz, yed, probably a couple other forgotten things. (As well as manual diagrams in LucidChart and even Inkscape.) And am generally a non-web python guy. I was looking at Mermaid last weekend, sinc

As someone whose academic background was in nuclear stuff (but ~10 years ago alas), I had fun read of this article for the considerations like "ohh, a 'half life' with multiple decay modes of varying weights depending on the

I have the same general opinion around "categories of email noise from a company", but I find Github is possibly the best one I know of. It's not perfect. Jira is an example of a bad one (while also having a high volume of em

I solely used it in college, but heavily. I'm content with Python now. I never got into making my Mathematica notebooks super presentable, but I think Jupyter notebooks also fill that need really well now. Noteworthy projects: * Visu

For a long while now, I've always had a mouse button mapped to backspace. Good for browsing and for deleting. ... Upon testing, it seems I no longer do this, and forgot. Guess that button's set to "browser-back" now.

For me, automatic highlight all on mouse selection in an add-on, which Chrome doesn't have, has been the biggest reason I've preferred Firefox for years now. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon

I noticed that selecting text on the article doesn't change colors. Probably not what you're referring to :) (I enjoyed the article.)

I was lost as soon as the article started talking about a maximum of 3 reflections... and nothing in the picture gave a hint as to why/what was meant.

Weird, I haven't had to do this. Most(/all?) connections have nice names you can see with `nmcli c`... and so I can do `nmcli c up id DroidNet` and that's pretty dang nice. Pretty sure this worked with Ubuntu 14.04 (though, n

In Python3, that is. I'd love to find (never looked...) a python3 repl where `print`, `dir`, `help` all behave like python2's `print`, since they're debug/lookup tools. It's rather often I'll open a terminal a

State of the art, aye, but definitely funny hearing about the job I was at 7 years ago (where things were fully operational, not experimental) being referred to as so new! When I was there, it was a combination of (1) downwards facing line

I just last night had the idea to put a global git config alias for the `clone` command... Such that it would (1) be preceded by asking me which email I want to use, (2) do the clone, then (3) do `git config user.email bogus@whatever.tld`.

I did the same thing to my Dell laptop in college when purple LEDs first became available. And a year or so prior to that (when my google results were still fruitless), I swapped blue LEDs in like you, and got a purple-ish result by puttin

I learned of byobu several years ago from a coworker. I think of it as (but may be technically incorrect) a wrapper on top of tmux (or optionally screen; behaves the same-ish either way?) It's hotkeys are... less arcane to remember by

This seems like it would be even faster if you set up hotkeys for launching each.

I got "This is not available to you" or something like that, which I've never seen before. A few refreshes later (I also don't have a twitter) it worked though.

I would say make per-client Github accounts, but that's stupidly painful to manage too. It would be nice if they could do what Google does with multiple accounts being logged in being supported (though, that implementation has warts, t
