I've seasoned my cast iron pan many times. I don't think it ever beats teflon, though it gets to a point where things wash off of it pretty easy with just water and a chainmail ringer.

As others have mentioned, there are a ton of off-the-shelf solutions that would have been more than adequate for this. My question is, why didn't he go for any of the existing solutions when setting them up would've still been fas

I'm not a business guy, but if Apple's going all-in on ARM processors, and then they expand into the server market (which the article speculates on), could we potentially see Apple opening a new product branch devoted to competing

I've been using Invision's Freehand tool [0] for whiteboarding in online meetings (also it's free). It's mostly worked about as well as a virtual whiteboard could be. It also allows for collaboration so everyone can draw

The issue with that though is that if someone could read/write code, they would probably choose to be a SWE instead of a tech writer. I'm not sure why this is, but I suspect that it's an combination of higher pay and an inter

I really like Figma's engineering blog. I find that they do a great job introducing the concepts that need to be understood with the level of detail in their implementation of those concepts. I'm always learning something new when

Fun, but I couldn't figure out how to select a color (left-most bottom-menu icon) and have it transfer over to the play area (middle icon).

This article really speaks to me. It’s well written, and written like a rock collector talking about each one of his rocks in his rock collection, only the rocks are apps of different speeds. There was a related thing that I heard from a pr

FWIW, The ReasonML, Rust, and Elixir language all have active communities on Discord. It really is pretty good for the use case.

Coming from mostly a web programming background, it certainly feels more low-level than PHP/JavaScript, but not by much , at least for web/backend work. You can still code without having to delve into low-level/unsafe coding

Doubtful. It's less about verbatim translation of text from one language to another, and more about changing your product's design + data architecture to accomodate the possibility of more than one language. It's a lot of ove

What’s interesting is that the technique he employs here (blurring the top and bottom of the sphere) sounds like something similar to what I remember reading from "Masters of Doom". Namely, that when he created Wolfenstein 3D (Doo

I actually really like the usage of borders in these "brutalist" designs. Current design trends seem to minimize or eliminate borders altogether, which makes it hard to visually separate content, which makes it hard for users to f
