I frequently write architectural documents and as a team we find it a very useful way to collaborate. We structure them as RFCs (meant literally, in that the document is designed to solicit comments, and so are often proposals). I've n

I set up a private mailman instance last year [1] and I found the experience _extremely_ painful. [1]: https://www.gtf.io/projects/personal_infrastructure/#mailing...

As in, the post-2015 unusable MBP keyboards or the nice ones? That might be enough to push me towards the X1 instead of the Lemur although I'd love to get a System76 just to have something from an independent shop from whom I might exp

Also would love to hear about the keyboard compared e.g. to the older MBPs and the Thinkpads.

Really tempted by the System76 machines but my worry is the screen res. My MBP (2014) has 2880x1800 and I really don't want to go down to something less crisp than retina.

I'm not sure this is "ordinary practice", especially as `nan` often refers to "not a number" as an error category. Typing full words doesn't take that much longer than acronyms, and results in more readable cod

We've found Google Meet / Hangouts too unreliable for even small-scale calls (e.g. our daily standups) whereas Zoom has pretty much perfect quality (and the lowest CPU footprint).

This seems to have totally missed the first half of the comment to which you replied: _elegance_ certainly has a place in programming, just as it does in mathematics and many other disciplines. Things that are elegant are often difficult to

I really like https://gwern.net . When I built my own site ( https://www.gtf.io ), I tried to make it as "minimalist" as possible -- fast rendering (v little CSS, no JS, completely static). I wanted it to have

Couldn't agree more -- I have limited time in my life, time I don't want to spend maintaining absolutely every service I use. Very happy to pay someone else to build good software and make the pain go away.

There's a standalone app (if you're not on Linux) and you can sync via dropbox / wifi / rsync / whatever you like.

I am so glad you used “thither”. I feel like the `(th|h|wh)(ither|ence)` set of constructions is woefully underused in casual English.

Very frustratingly, there's no Linux client and they recommend 1PasswordX for Linux users, which doesn't allow offline vaults, pretty sure it _requires_ 1Password's online service.

I hope this isn't a bad sign for the future of 1Password. I've been a customer as a consumer for about ten years, and my team has been using it for four years. The nice thing about them is that they have always had a great consume

vim (I can only really speak for vim here) has several modes for editing. The main ones are: normal, insert, visual. Most people I know (incl. myself) spend most of their time in normal mode, which allows you to manipulate text objects usin

This is a really great idea, and appealing in its simplicity -- I think we might try to implement this in my company for some of our tasks which are really very manual, but for which automation is a daunting task.

Yes, you're right that they will know to which server you have connected (HTTPS has nothing to do with it), but they might not know which site you have tried to access because some servers will host many sites. Edit, to clarify: this d

While I would agree in principle that there's nothing shameful about nudity, in most societies, this is simply not the case. Having images circulated of oneself in the nude would be shaming, and I imagine that having these images faked

Ok, that's fair. I was being a little hyperbolic with "it doesn't have any human characteristics yet", which is obviously untrue. I think the point still stands that at some point you draw an arbitrary line of when mere
