I always wait a minimum of a few months after major updates are released to install them. Nothing I hate more than having my dev environment hosed because some binary I depend won’t build correctly or something in my stack starts throwing r

This is one of my favorite books of all time! I built an 8 bit ALU and a few KB of ram and misc other parts of a computer in Minecraft using the schematics in this book and it was one of the most fun things I have ever done.

I would advocate for Joe Rogan, he is a voice of openness and willingness to talk about things rather than just shutting down conversations because you might not agree. He is also a great listener. The world needs more people like Rogan.

For all software the government itself uses, yes, but the article is detailing a law in China that gives them the ability to just take ALL data (and source code) unilaterally if it exists anywhere within the border.

If you have never worked with a strongly typed language before there might be some getting used to that, but any pain is well worth it. Catching all your mistakes at compile time and not at runtime is so amazing. Oh and it’s literally 100x

Oh man I just love and adore Crystal. I am a long time rubyist and I have to say they just nailed it with Crystal. I just wish I had more opportunity to use it professionally!

The only nightmare i see is a company that values a warm body being in a specific seat for a specific range of hours over actual productivity. Physical presence is not really required most of the time for most engineers.

Ad hominem. Attack the idea not the person. Just because someone has a different view than you doesn’t make them a sociopath.

As pointed out by other commenters: a non zero number have survived. A small investment made with many different institutions would substantially increase your chances of a massive return upon... return.

This guys videos are fantastic. A cool little tip: turn on close captioning for narration and details of techniques being used.

This is a flawed line of reasoning given that the overwhelming majority of meat eaters also eat a significant percentage of their calories from plants. It is referred to as a balanced diet for a reason.

You must be quite sensitive to see this as “acidic”. I have seen this guy speak at several conferences and he is absolutely the opposite of “acidic”. Here’s an “acidic” comment for you: He makes great games that people love and he doesn’t o

A friend of mine is currently going all the way when it comes to animation. He produced 52 animated shorts in 1 year (one per week). One of them features this exact quote! https://vimeo.com/303537395

While I somewhat understand and relate to your overall point, Ultima Online and other MMOs that followed were not simply a “rebadging” of previous RPGs - they were a fundamentally new genre that created some of the most important and impres

I can also anecdotally confirm that I myself and most of my friends very rarely use Facebook anymore. I imagine that my browser or devices are still pinging FB on my behalf and counting me as an "active user" even though I haven&#
