I had the same thing happen in very rural Northern Quebec, plus the road construction workers wore bee keeper type outfits.

I don't disagree, but some of the great parts about vim are its self-sufficiency and reliability. It's awful when your editor won't open because it's trying to write a log message to a drive that was disconnected or chec

If memory serves me right, this is the blog post that got me into vim when it first made the rounds. Prior to that I was just another developer googling "how do I quit vi."

I just have my .vimrc and plug-ins in a Github repository. I also have a minimal, no plug-ins required version. Now that I think of it, maybe I should put it on my website so I can curl it onto a server if there is no git available.

But you can also be motivated by a streak and do work you wouldn't have otherwise done. Personally I find streaks are powerful motivators. If this were going to affect my work negatively it would probably be something like "not re

Obviously you have to start somewhere with a simulation, but to me it seems like you'd want to quickly add in the food/water/energy aspect and perhaps consider the additional damage caused by conventional weapons. It seems as

Yeah, figuring out what you've really been hired to do is so important to happiness. We all have our own idea of what excellence in software engineering looks like, but sometimes we're actually working as chairsitters, other times

You could do a PhD or just work in a research environment where they support the staff taking time to do these deep dives. My experience has been that research teams allow their members to organize their work however suits them, if that&#x2

Also, if they were model rocketry or ham radio enthusiasts who took things way, way, way too far they're still in trouble for all the oil smuggling and money laundering they did.

I searched for this luna88k and was taken to a Wikipedia page that I read until I realized it was for a computer called LUNA but it had a 68k processor. The reason it came up was a tiny quote from the NetBSD announcement of Luna 68k support

I had the good fortune of being able to work that schedule once, and there is a lot to be said for it. I believe that a lot of our current employment arrangements revolve around the primitive data management and "ERP" technologies

You're right, I forgot to change the percentage. The graphic doesn't even have a category for being directed to halt spend and less than half are being directed to reduce it in any way so I'm gonna say I still improved it ;)

I don't necessarily disagree. I've always felt that there was a lot to be said for not becoming dependent on the latest and greatest features of any specific cloud. If you're pushing the limits of some service you probably wa

The headline would be more accurately stated (according to an image in the article) "81% of IT teams directed to reduce or halt cloud spending growth " The most common response (39%) was the C suite wanted spending to remain the

The fundamental tension in tagging systems, to me, is whether tagging is a feature the software offers to the user or a task the user performs to assist the software. In the first case, you want freewheeling and tolerate ontological inconsi

Any kind of figure triggers the walk reaction from me (or it did until someone finally clued me in on a trip to Europe). My working theory had been green figure means cross, red figure means cross with caution, like a flashing red hand in t

If you can't borrow or afford to pay the taxes would be one situation, then you can save up in 2023. Weird situation for sure but you always want to look before you leap with these things.

The optimizing end is still valid right? Unless you're doing serverless (which, of course, more and more of us are).

I would say that, when combined with other signs in the writing, it points to the authors being quite meticulous and thorough in their research. It also seems like they are combining several studies with different theories and supplementary

I hate when I don't see the end user feedback as an engineer. When I see users forced to waste time with elaborate workarounds and hacks to use software I made I feel real guilt even if I had no way to know it wasn't well suited t

I tend to think of forums that have a down vote mechanism (along with karma) as being like those crystal growing kits. By discussion and voting the community grows a consensus crystal and then gradually refines ways to express the consensus

I joined an old school forum during the pandemic and have really enjoyed it. You are able to "like" posts but if you want to express disapproval you have to jump into the discussion and air your arguments. The moderators are not p

I feel that the original Python example is suffering from a little too much lambda. It seems like we're iterating through something to build up a computation we may execute later. I can conceive of a situation where you might want to d

Which I thought was the best point of the article, that a lot of IT best practice comes from the web app world. Web apps quickly become finely tuned factory machines, executing a million times a day and being duplicated thousands of times.

This is painfully true in every area. I wish documentation writers would focus less on exhaustively documenting every single thing and instead really explain the surprising parts. Maybe don't even worry about documenting the "heig

It's probably a useful reminder that biologists do all kinds of other things besides loading sequence files. For instance, they generate the sequence files and grow the organisms that are getting sequenced.

I would say that you don't really master the most advanced topic you learn. Attempting algebra is how you solify your knowledge of arithmetic, attempting calculus is how you learn algebra and finally master arithmetic.

Silly string was my first thought because my friends and I used to try (semi successfully) to make costumes applying it like they do. It worked best with a near empty can when it comes out fragmented like in the video. Now if only we had be
