You can also spawn a shell, provided your particular shell is available, in another window too. I can stay entirely within Emacs if I realise, say, I need to do something en masse that's really easy with a shell one liner. Though if I&

I refuse to give these kinds of interviews. They don't really tell me much other than they know algorithms and data structures. And with thousands of articles and even whole books dedicated to passing those sorts of interviews, that&#x

It's funny. This happened to me yesterday. Not a new integration but I wanted to know if I could get data from a forum into a Google sheet once a month. Zapier landing page: Sure, just use a webhook trigger to Google sheets.

That wasn't the point I was trying to make. It's where the mandate comes from is fluid. I'm saying these same people have rebelled many times against what members want because "their constituents". It changes to sui

And of the 52% that voted for brexit? The problem I've found in politics is that politicians like to 'switch' their mandate depending on what's convenient. Half the time, rebellious MPs justify their behaviour by saying

I'm genuinely surprised she's hung on as long as she has. We're going through a very strange period in politics.

I think in the first example it's easier to calculate based on the time spent vs the salary + overheads of the employee(s) dealing with the issue. If something took up one hour of my day and I could spend a week one-off to reduce that

This was my experience too. I also found The Little Schemer, ANSI Common Lisp and Practical Common Lisp useful books. Also using Emacs for a while helps since you have to work with Lisp eventually, especially if something goes wrong (and th

I've been looking for something like this. Our company needs something like this to develop a visual marketing automation editor. The fact it was designed for visual programming helps in a big way.

Nope. I understand that. I wouldn't say that cannabis causes schizophrenia or even episodes. It's more a story of how my friend and the people that love him came to view cannabis as it relates to his illness. It's an "un

A personal anecdote of mine. A friend has schizophrenia. There was a clear point of descent from smoking cannabis. He was 13 at the time - young for schizophrenia. He's now on clozapine, a powerful antipsychotic. Whenever his judgement

We've recently learned about that designer/developer distinction where I work. We asked the designer to do the HTML/CSS/JS for his web designs. Brochure website turn around times decreased but the code is far more diffic

Haha can tell you're northern. Shared appreciation for chippy tea. Chips rice and curry. Ah I'm hungry.

I'll keep that in mind! That's obviously where I've been going wrong. Ah I fancy a chippy now.

I'll have to visit my hometown. Apparently there's now a chippy that does just that. Choice of cod, haddock and plaice if I recall. Some old friends rave about it.

That sounds amazing. Love me t roasties. Amazing in duck fat too.

I do remember a time when I enjoyed fish and chips. The place was called Stav's, ran by a Greek guy called Stavros. Decent kebabs too. Unfortunately folded and converted into a Chinese takeaway.

I've not! In Salford, you have to go out of your way to double check food hygiene ratings when you want to try a new chippy. Many are just a 1 or 2.

I'm in the UK. I don't think they use cod or anything like that. They just call it battered fish because it's not cod or haddock.

by jwdunne 8y ago
You know what, I hate fish and chips. Far too stodgy. The hit of deep fried carbs makes my mind feel fuzzy. It's not worth it for what's ultimately a bland meal. Maybe people who like acidic food can get past that with copious amo

Oh wow. We didn't get far enough to notice that was a problem. We needed Vuex for something and that's where we got stuck and switched. It's a good job - at that stage in the project, it wouldn't have been a big problem

by jwdunne 8y ago
Yeah this is great. Last time I tried, Vue itself wasn't too bad to get going with TS. The real issue for us was Vuex. The official examples and the Typescript examples we found looked completely different. It wasn't easy to get s

Although different substance, I'm a heavy smoker and moderation has always proved impossible. I've kicked the habit once by NRT and once cold turkey. I'd gone well long enough for any physical withdrawal symptoms (many months

Oh wow. Helpful advice. I have ADHD and recently been taken off my medication abruptly because my BP was too high. I've been struggling without it. I'll give your recommendations a try. Thank you! :)

There's a chance that's there because some split test showed it increases conversions to their (presumably) more lucrative business payment plan. Probably got tests running to see what exactly keeps people around when they get ont

Wow. You know, I read your original comment with the opinion that it was very programmer-centric but this narrative made me think deeper about what you're trying to say. I think Evernote sucks and they need to refocus, things that have

Not within the existing culture. It seems necessary. Most of that is "blank slate, let's start again" with expectations made clear. Obviously that was lacking in this place. When you've got people successfully blaming ot

This looks cool. I'll get our social media manager to give it a try when I'm in the office tomorrow. One suggestion: it might be worth making the landing page responsive. If it is, it's broken for me - I can send a screenshot
