Aw, man! I'd forgotten this existed. My gf and I used to do the "mah mah mah mah", "oh toh toh toh"-thing when pouring drinks for each other. Thanks for posting it and reminding me.

> It only fetches great movies with a rating > 6.7 on IMDb I personally find that I'm sometimes in the mood for a hilariously shitty B-movie, like The VelociPastor ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1843303/

If you're sitting 5 meters from your speakers, you add about 15 ms of latency and, in some cases, people all the way across the globe will hear your sound before you hear it yourself. It's pretty wild to think about. My dad used t

Suggestion to include Go Mono: https://go.dev/blog/go-fonts By far my favorite coding font, even though Share Tech Mono is looking good too after trying your game/app. Nice work!

That's not necessarily true[0]. It's a widely repeated claim but there doesn't seem to be much actual evidence supporting it. Rather it seems that letter size and spacing are the main factor when trying to make text more read

Berating someone for admitting they don't know something is counter-productive and is only going to make them not admit it the next time.

Depending on your preferences you might enjoy Vivaldi, Qutebrowser or Chromium. That's just off the top of my head. There are obviously many other good browsers out there.

For me that was obvious when it started showing sponsored content in my "new tab" page (in the speed dial-like list of sites). I just needed a reason to switch to Qutebrowser, so I did.

I wrote something similar (but necet really finished it), called 'gut', in Go a few years back. Funny thing is, that I literally never use it. I thought splitting on regexes and that stuff would be super useful, but it turns out t

I love Ian's site. It's such a good example of how you can really get geeky (in the most positive way possible) with almost anything. I'm a bit of a sneakerhead, and one good way to freshen up a pair of old kicks is new laces

I used to use ecasound for stuff like that and simple effects and multitrack recording. I found that the simplicity changed my focus to what I was playing rather than how it sounded, and in turn it resulted in me being happier about the mus

Always love me some Ruby but what really catches my eye here are the alternatives to paying hard cash for the engine. Great initiative!

First, it's only a strawman if you think accepted cognitive metaphor theory is wrong and the concrete form of "steal"/"theft" did not come before the more abstract mappings... And are you really saying that &

Come on. Following that logic you'll be hard pressed to speak a full meaningful sentence about a topic because, not surprisingly, language evolves! "Steal" has been used as "copy" long enough that it's part of

by lillesvin 6y ago
Not the person you're replying to, but "steal" has been used in that sense for a long, long time—also long before the internet—e.g. "stealing ideas", so arguably it fits the definition just fine.

I only rarely use Python (Ruby, Go, R and Bash usually do whatever I need) and I've never gotten my head around the whole Python 2 vs 3 thing. For a language often touted to be the best language for novice programmers, I think it'

Not a CS major, but PHP has been my preferred language for web stuff the last 20 years. Even way back it was just so damn easy to work with. Sure, I'll look to Go, Ruby, Crystal, Elixir and others for more specialized stuff, but plain

I'm not sure why you're asking or what new features you'd like them to take advantage of, but given PHP's reasonable approach to backwards compatibility, I expect that it won't take too much effort to get Wordpress

I was super happy that the old XUL extensions could hide UI elements. I used Vimperator and hid everything but the Vimperator status line, and it was awesome. Noticeably more screen real estate and less clutter. For those looking for that m

Haven't read the full article but this virus reminds me of something designed in the game Pandemic. Not that I actually believe it's manufactured, it's just that it has so many sinister properties.

One of the Castlevania games (maybe Symphony of Darkness?) achieves ACE by inventory manipulation. Mega Man 1 has an ACE category as well which is really interesting. I think Nudua explained it somewhere. (On my phone, but a quick googling
