The literal worst of vimrc is the _default_ settings of many Linux distributions these days. Colors are fine, but _behavior_-changing stuff is not. I would be happier if package installers included a brief configurator as part of installati

Yeah I'm not a chemist but it always strikes me as odd that "hazardous nuclear waste" cannot be recycled. Even now there are ways to capture carbon waste (eg, genetically-engineered carbon-eating bacteria et al). I find it ha

I made the mistake of introducing some friends and team members to the game. Their productivity has gone to shit. Of course, it's only a corollary that they now spend too much time playing Factorio. Their productivity was liable to go

I've never played Dwarf Fortress (something I hope to rectify in the nearish future). However, friends have told me that it's somewhat similar to Factorio, which is a game that I highly recommend programmers to play.

That depends on the technology. The technology I most often work with will have lots of fake DNA basepairs in a soup, which has the real subject's DNA broken apart into fragments and attached to a substrate to keep it from moving. The
