This seems neat but I’m also a mere computer person and vaguely knowledgeable in electrochemistry. A few questions for anyone who knows more about this subject: I’m wondering where the electrons being yanked out of the particles come from,

Believe it or not a lot of people in Texas still live a rural lifestyle! There’s a lot more going on in the land outside the major cities than suburbs.

Like vim in general it’s not natural, but with practice you slowly start to pick up muscle memory around it. I try to shoot for easy-to-eyeball tricks, a good one is jumping to the place you want to edit with f + the first char. If there’s

Good question, I think it's dumb too. I guess people might create a package, abandon it, then fall off the face of the earth? The modular synth community is still pretty indie, and there's a lot of homegrown modules out there. I f

I'm not really sure why the author is taking the behavior of this VCV guy so personally, is there some new community expectation that a single maintainer trying to survive running an open source software modular synth project is also s

Those words aren’t synonymous in denotation—who wants to be called a consumer? I think the term customer implies respect for those you do business with rather than viewing people who buy your product as numbers on a spreadsheet.

Currently: C, C++, Python, Go, JS, C#, Java, Lua (if that counts), Kotlin, Julia, Scala. I've dabbled in a bunch of other ones but haven't made anything noteworthy with them. You may notice a lack of other modern compiled language

Awesome news! Rust is easily the best programming experience I've had--the language feels incredibly well thought out, common tooling like doc generation and dependency management are included with the language, and the compiler takes

Somehow I’ve never had a Facebook account this entire time, is there anything I’ve been missing with it? I keep seeing posts like this, but I haven’t really understood what makes quitting it so hard.

I think the poster means the anonymous, no upvote aspect. Seriously, I’ve been on quite a few different styles of message board and discussion quality is noticeably better when you can’t get any other queues about how “right” an post is exc

It doesn’t even matter if politicians aren’t making decisions based on social media—-their constituents are demanding action because of what they see on it. A video of one person in power choking another person to death got widely shared on

We agree here that the term is probably offensive even in the context that WSB is using it. If someone used that term here in the same way that WSB people do, I'm sure we'd both wish that dang would remove that post and ban the po

Having expressed this understanding of WSB's benign intent in their use of the term "retard", surely you see why some random person at Discord taking offense to it and whimsically banning the entire community is messed up,

I think it’s more likely emergent behavior born of individual executives making decisions that benefit their image and career, rather than some conspiracy. Having a diverse team looks good and deflects the political eye of Sauron from the l

It’s a start, you’re just seeing dissatisfaction at how “underserved community” is being tied to race in the context of 100mm of aid distribution. A much better indicator at least would be something approximating class or general financial

But how far can this principle be applied? I admit this is complete hyperbole, but what if your local grocery stores forbade you from buying food there because they didn't want people associating them with you? I think there's a g

This is precisely what I was looking for when I searched for “Rust for C++ programmers” in the past. I love the Rust book, but I’ve always thought the common focus on accessibility for newbie programmers made it feel tedious for those who a
