SpaceX went from nothing to orbital spacecraft in ~6 years. Plenty of people discounted them at the time too. I’m not saying Boom will succeed, but it’s not outside the realm of possibility if they can dedicate themselves to task the same w

100% agree - and that’s the whole point. Anyone arguing that it is invalid and unenforceable is arguing to invalidate their own, equally unenforceable ‘private and confidential’ note at the bottom of their original emails. Heads I win, tail

git add -p Aside from being a super useful way to only stage some of your changes, it will also serve as a useful proofreading step.

Thanks for this. I've been a vim user for over 20 years and I'm still learning useful new commands!

Microsoft was having these ideas since before being a streaming provider was even possible as a business - see for example the windows key.

Being able to browse the web and not have pages render incorrectly, slowly or not at all is the big one.

dmypy [0] (installed when you install mypy) will give you a x10 speedup when running mypy after small regular edits (e.g. during general development). But yeah, I'm also looking forward to the day when I only need a single speedy tool

It represents the word 表妹 biao mei in Chinese, and is as normal a word as ‘cousin’ is in English.

by imron 3y ago
In Chinese there is a distinction between cousins whose parents are brothers (堂 tang) and cousins whose parents aren’t brothers (表 biao). There is also a distinction between older and younger siblings, and then also gender. What seems awkwa
