It’s an enjoyable part of the day and a fun skill to practice. Snobbery exists, but I think most people are just excited about the subject and perhaps overly eager to share their learnings. To some it seems snobbish, but from the coffee lov

I love reader mode but I don’t use it when reading technical content because it lacks syntax highlighting. I’ve also often encountered bugs where certain graphics that are core the the article won’t be shown and I will be confused until I t

But it can handle it with a very small bit of configuration, as I’ve shown above. I am not trying to defend vim here, the editor you use or prefer has no effect on me. I’m just trying to point out that if you want it to work in a certain wa

Forgive me for misunderstanding the ambiguous comment, both C-k and C-u are associated with multiple cursors in VSCode [0] ;) I use the following mappings for emacs-ish editing in insert mode: " emacs-style editing & motion

I think you're referring to multiple cursors? Visual-Multi [0] is an amazing Vim plugin for this with advanced features like searching by regex, alignment by regex, transposition, duplication, auto-numbering, and more. You can ignore t

I don’t have data or evidence to back this up, but my hunch is that vaccinated people are less likely to take precautions and more likely engage in the “riskiest” (for others) behaviors like attending packed indoor gatherings. That’s why I

Yes I think the IIFE is there to avoid the inner loop blocking the outer loop. I think it looks better with the IIFE factored out into its own function: async function serve(conn) { for await (const { respondWith } of Deno.serv

Node’s child_process.exec() [0] passes the first argument straight into a shell, so you can use whatever shell features you want. The functionality you’re talking about is provided by child_process.spawn() [1] (as long as the shell option i

Yes, I knew someone would say this. But in the context of putting together a 60 item grocery order in 30 minutes, it’s easy to miss some data points. I would imagine a large number of people would be occasionally misled by things like this

I've been shopping on Instacart a lot during the pandemic and I've noticed a related phenomenon: packaging designed to make products look bigger than they really are, especially in online photos. It's not necessarily a new th

Bing powers other search engines like DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, and Yahoo!. But I’m sure that even cumulatively the numbers are still small.

If you write your tests with Ginkgo [0] its CLI can do this for you. It also has nice facilities to quickly disable a test or portion of a test by prepending an X to the test function name, or to focus a test (only run that test) by prepend

I find my cast irons to be much lower maintenance than any other pan I’ve had. Cleaning is super easy, they are super durable and I’ve scrubbed them super hard with a bit of soap when necessary and the seasoning is still perfect.

You know what would be fun? A website like Project Euler, but you're given programs that are less than optimally efficient and your job is to make them as fast as possible.

Tough choice. We could fill our foods with tasteless indigestible plastic so that we can gorge ourselves on processed foods and not get fat, or we could eat a healthy diet. I’m split.

I’ve had to do this before to avoid my rent going up several hundred dollars at lease renewal time. They offered me the unit right next door for $500 less than what my then-current unit would cost. The new one was identical in all ways exce

What’s stopping them from “asking” $500/sqft? $1000? At what point is it fraud?

To clarify: it was not a personal gift, I received it when I signed up for internet service in a new apartment.

I received one as a gift too. Used it for about a week, got tired of it and creeped. So I pried it open, used a flathead screwdriver + hammer to chisel/smash any chips that looked interesting, and recycled it with some other e-waste. I

Could this be a factor in why we didn’t evolve to see a wider range of wavelengths? Is the visual spectrum just barely within the range that our brains can correct for the diverging focal lengths without needing additional lenses or modific

I am. The terminal is one of the few places I am not being tracked. It’s also a portal into my most private data and activity, so if there’s one place I don’t want to be tracked, it’s here. I do not long for a future where the terminal ecos

A cool thing about = is it expands to the full path of the executable, so I often use it to edit the shell scripts that are in my PATH, e.g. vim =audioctl Expands to vim /home/myusername/bin/audioctl

Oh, just realized I misread the original comment. I ignored the “, so I thought they were saying you could just use 0p (on my phone, otherwise would’ve tested it in vim). I use registers often but I admit I haven’t memorized the meaning of
