But the thing is that's beside the point. Even if they do that, it still allows them to express approval of multiple candidates, instead of just one in plurality voting. And the fact that there's no weird elimination rounds means

When writing Ruby C extensions, you almost inevitably need to learn to read the Ruby codebase (written in C). It helps if you can get your preferred IDE to build and understand the codebase. For people who want to use LSP + clangd to explor

When I find myself wanting a split diff in the terminal, I tend to gravitate towards just using Vim’s built in diff mode via vim-fugitive. I even have some git aliases that will open vim and and show fugitive diffs for every file changed on

This is obviously a subject the author cares passionately about, because the article uses a lot of exclamation marks. But this tidbit struck me as hilariously out of touch: > Let's imagine your bank let you sign in to 3rd party serv

I only knew of the word Moxie in the context of the Pokemon ability[1] and it never occurred to me until just now that it's a real word with a real meaning haha > moxie > n. The ability to face difficulty with spirit and courage.

I get the sentiment, and I'd go further to say that I prefer Rust's `let` vs `let mut`, i.e., the longer & visually noisier option discourages mutability by default, and draws attention to when it is used.

Maybe, but there’s no amount of elastic tabs that are going to make the suffix in nextAncestor previousAncestor line up the same way as nextAncestor prevAncestor so I admire the author’s time spent collecting these

The trick is that to provide Bazel with a custom toolchain involves way more than just setting an environment variable, because Bazel wants to control installing and making available the compiler reliably (e.g., what if `emcc` is not presen

I've been trying to catch myself claiming something is "significantly faster" and instead say it's "substantially faster" for this reason. As far as I know, "substantial" doesn't have the same ki

To that I find that the answer is usually: find ways to avoid needing to sort the list! This is more viable for many problems than you might otherwise think.

In posts talking about how someone made something fast, I see the same idea repeat time after time: it has linear time complexity, has great cache locality, and saturates all available processors. It's annoying to me how much time I ha
