They're willing to assemble other furniture? In my experience, IKEA furniture is some of the best-designed self-assembled furniture. Other companies don't seem to give any thought to making it easy to assemble at all. Some of the

We are not amused! Not but that part of the TOS, which I wasn't aware of. I don't see where it says so, though, except maybe the part of the guidelines that say to "Avoid generic tangents". I do see how it helps keep the

The "not encrypted at rest" part seems to be pure speculation: "As shown in the screenshots, this means that Google can see the secrets, likely even while they’re stored on their servers." Is there some actual evidence f

Being on the Bazel team, and having previously worked closely with the Piper team, this naming would be very confusing for me! That said: good to put your thoughts out there before going too deep into the implementation rabbit hole. Good lu

Just what I was thinking. And it's funny because the original word was Hawaiian Wikiwiki.

Is the name a reference to the democracy game from Scientific American back in the 80ies (or so)? Also, is there a good equivalent for node-edge graphs?

Nice write-up! Haven't tried SRS yes, I definitely see how it can work well for learning facts like you show. For fuzzier subjects like history or psychology, I've had some success with writing questions for myself that require mo

Anyone have any idea what the solution Electra uses is?

Missing: Start migrating the code base to new technologies/frameworks early, but never finish it. Though that might actually end up costing more that 400 hours of wasted time.

"The most common big server used in a data center is a two-CPU system with a lot of memory and, hopefully, some fast I/O devices inside such as a 10-100G network card and fast flash storage" This made me go check on the date

Dane here. Hated the Dogme movies. Appreciate the idea of doing something more authentic and focusing more on the story and characters than the CGI, just never liked what Lars came out with. Pretentiøst lort!

I've started keeping the receipts and boxes and marking the bulbs so I can get my money back under warranty if (when) they die early. Make it not worth it for the companies to skimp on quality.

I get a Renault Zoë occasionally through our car sharing. It's my favourite of the cars available for all but very long trips. But I agree that you have to respect the torque, even in a minor car like the Zoë. I find myself sometimes a

It's not just the company bureaucracy, it's also laws and regulations. It's great to be a startup in the US where you have a large and fairly rich customer base. But when you go international and have to deal with all the myr

Oh, boy, can they ever! And the fees can be hefty. Even with a credit union back in the early 2000s, we were talking $10 _per day_, I don't expect it has gotten any cheaper.

Why are programming language designers so bad at naming languages. Pick something that doesn't already have a gazillion search results, people! Go, Swift, Rust, Cyber, all bad. Though I'm still hoping for a UI library for Go where
