Are you using it for time tracking? Would you be able to use a dedicated time-tracking tool like Toggl [0]? I'm not connected Toggl, just a happy user. It seems to have good reporting and project-granularity for timesheets, better th

I read this article years ago, and it's worth re-reading... ergo, not clickbait. The author talks about how it __appears__ wasteful to buy expensive clothes when you're poor, but it's all about __signalling__ to others that y

I expect you're being downvoted for appearing insensitive to a person with cancer. The person you replied to has cancer. It's likely difficult, and it's easy to think of it as a battle -- but the person you replied to is all

Perhaps there is a way to introduce the idea without inducing such skepticism. Our meeting rooms have a large TV in each, so one could plug in and mirror your display, but you could also likely bring your own projector. (OK, that's pro

Some of the features of PyCharm that I use every day are built-in, and probably have plugins in Sublime that do similarly: - The best key-binding interface I have ever seen in the settings. - Find Definition: I can press F3 (my keybind for

This is just stunningly beautifully presented, and yet very sobering to think of so many deaths. Also ... Thank you, Russia, for doing so much more. I'd read the 20M deaths, but never seen the larger picture before.

I believe it's basically a suggestion that one replaces each `foo` or `bar` API call with a prefix, e.g. `ggl_foo`, `ggl_bar`. I expect that doing so would get one slapped (literally or figuratively?) by a judge for being a wiseass.

I would rather die by my own choice, once I no longer feel I contribute to the world(s) that I and my progeny inhabit. Even then, there are things I might want to do -- learn languages, master calligraphy, etc. In a hypothetical diaspora

The author does some neat things. When they're comparing Really Small Numbers multiplied together, to avoid underflow, they instead calculate the logs of the pieces and add them. Very nice. :)

In the context of the justice system, I think we tend to lack compassion. Most of the Americans I know (family, etc) seem more intent on __retribution__ and punishing Bad People, rather than compassion. Once someone is a Bad Person (crimi

One should not sneer or laugh at languages like Perl, COBOL, or similar, simply because there are others we like better, or are more popular. I used to be a HUGE Perl fan, and discounted Python for years. I figured that I already knew Java,

I'm not a contractor, but wouldn't dividing by 2000 be a bit excessive? That would be 40 hours x 50 weeks, and everything I've read about contracting implies that you cannot bank on having constant work like that.
