Brandon Rhodes gave a great talk at PyCon 2017 about the evolution of dictionaries in Python. I really appreciate the people who dive deep into these implementation details, and continue to optimize the languages we all use. https:/&#

Where are you located? Getting involved in SAR looks a lot different depending on where you are. In my community most people spend some time outdoors, but there isn't any one focus like rock climbing or kayaking or anything. So we&#x27

I've been involved in mountain rescue for almost 20 years now. The main reason I've heard over the years for not charging for rescue is that it causes people to delay asking for help. This results in more high-risk calls for rescu

I've been an active member of a search and rescue team in southeast Alaska since 2002. This has been a really interesting period to be involved in SAR. When I started, very few people had cell phones or GPS devices. Then came a period

I would like to build an app that's a series of games, that are all related. I want to use the freemium model, with a one-time payment. No ads, no subscriptions; once you pay, you own the entire game. What's a better model for thi

I think #3 is spot on; if you have a small amount of fame, especially in a niche area, there are people whose lives and work you'll impact enough for them to think really highly of you. But that kind of fame doesn't really garner

I have been aware of Sentry for years, but I've never used it and haven't followed the company closely. Reading Armin's post, and the official Sentry announcement [0], this strikes me as pretty reasonable. Sentry is about 11

My favorite, as many others are sharing here, is the figure 8. For climbing, it's a super versatile knot and there's lots of variations for specific use cases. It's also a great knot for discussing the properties of a good kn

Wow, I'd heard of Mux before but never looked at it. The service looks impressive, and the pricing page is one of the clearest technically and financially that I've ever seen. It makes me want to include video in my projects!
