Aha, thanks for that link. I knew there was something else at play with the eggs, but I couldn't remember what it was.

Where are you getting your information? As far as I know, the EU has banned most antibiotics for livestock since 2006. I don't know about the UK. A little bit of n=1: I eat eggs directly from the local Mennonite community. They don&#x2

The melting point of butter is 90-95°F (32-35°C)[0]. My family always kept it out on the counter, even in the summer. It never gets that hot inside thanks to the insulation required to keep the house warm in the winter. I agree with you abo

To flip this on its head, just because something is new doesn't mean we have to use it all the time. Americans refrigerate more than we need to. Butter, eggs, certain vegetables (like tomatoes). Tomatoes have healthy compounds in them

This. Anytime you have metal in the body, you want to make sure it's not going to leach into the bloodstream and cause heavy metal toxicity, like mercury or amalgam fillings do.

I agree with everything you've said. I also have been using WSL for the past few months. I can run everything in it that I run on Linux and OS X, which is great. I can now officially run any major operating system and have my zsh and v

I hadn't seen MithrilJS before. It looks great. It makes me wonder what kind of voodoo I'd be capable of if I combined it with Nim[0]. [0]: https://hookrace.net/blog/what-is-special-about-nim/#compile...

You're not missing anything. I switch back and forth between game development and web development and what the web guys see as 'fast' is underwhelming to a game developer. The interesting part here is how far web devs are ben

That's a good point. PHP and Python run their own server instances these days instead of running in apache or nginx. I miss the simplicity of the old days. :)

That depends: do you use JS frameworks that require a compilation step? If yes, then adding a step in there to compile your SASS or LESS code is easy and has big advantages. If you're using PHP or Python and don't use a JS framewo

Sadly, no. He's spoken about this in length on Twitter. He's working on a new game written in Jai. He's going back and retouching the Braid code because it crashes frequently on Windows 10. He wants to keep selling it, so he

Interestingly, Casey Muratori accidentally demonstrates during one of his Handmade Hero sessions that the compiler won't always be able to optimize certain bits of code that are put in a function as opposed to being inline. In the vide

How do you stand people walking behind you all day? That would drive me nuts. Also, I work remotely, but I have been thinking about live streaming my desktop as a similar discouragement from slacking during work hours.

What if you judge a team based on the revenue it brought in vs the cost of the employees in the team? Since profit is the real measure of success, it makes sense to use that as the metric. Measuring individual contributions is problematic,

All chronic tendon injuries? Or yours? I guess what I'm asking is, have you had blood tests done to check your omega-3, omega-6, and c-reactive protein levels?

The problem with the first two is how would you communicate that to the user? You could make it a configurable option in a settings menu somewhere, but most people don't bother with those. Even those that do bother with the settings pr

I didn't say it would be easy, but if they're not even going to attempt to fix the issue, they should stop saying they are.

That would be less disheartening if any of the "hiring is broken, let's fix it" companies actually tried to fix it instead of just streamlining and/or automating the existing, broken systems

Is it possible this was a communication failure not a technical one? I'm guessing your bosses couldn't tell the difference between the old performance level of your code and the new performance level of the off the shelf code. But

Oh, I think I misunderstood what you meant by "get real work" out of somebody. IMHO, pair programming isn't getting real work out of somebody. I'm with tptacek on this one: take home programming tests. Specifically, test
