It's hard to believe now, but for a few years Facebook was new and cool! Using FB meant you were young and hip, not like those old folks who barely even knew what the Internet was. Zuck was more like a nerdy cousin than a reptilian ove

It feels that way to the nerds! But in fact most of the jocks are nearly as smart as the nerds, they just also play sports.

This is pretty neat! One question, if all your queries have to be SQLite-compatible, doesn't that defeat the purpose of using PG in the first place? Maybe SQLite supports more PG features than I thought, but if for example your app use

I've been doing web development full-time for nearly a decade now, and I didn't know about all of these. I think I failed a job interview last month because I didn't know about <datalist>. Sigh.

This would have described the Mormon church not long ago. That's why they went to Utah!

Why is the light mode so dim? I thought something was wrong at first, like there was a modal background covering the screen that I couldn't clear.

Enjoyable in the chemical sense. It triggers your brain's reward pathways via dopamine just like anything else you enjoy.

I remember Caffeine used to be a third-party program that would prevent your Mac from sleeping, same behavior as the `caffeinate` here. Were they acquired and incorporated into the OS?

You can await values that aren't already async in JS. IIRC the runtime turns it into the equivalent of `await Promise.resolve(x)`.

I've been writing some C# lately and `using` has been very nice to use with file handles, buffers, etc., that might need to be cleaned up. But they only work nicely in C# because the C# stdlib has properly implemented `Dispose()` for F

Nope! It's alive and well both at giants like Shopify and at smaller orgs like my own.

Perhaps I'm being pedantic, but `if` and many other control-flow constructs are implemented as macros in Clojure. So you probably use macros a lot!

I too have a Subaru, my emergency brake has only engaged when trying to parallel park a bit too aggressively. I must be a very good driver! But perhaps it has saved my bumper a few dents

I'm not sure that we do make policy decisions based on data, otherwise we'd be doing a lot more about climate change.

The civilization we've built, globally, is dependent on a certain climate. Certain places are livable and some aren't. Climate change threatens that. Even a few inches of global sea rise threatens millions of people who live in pl

Perhaps it is more like Marlboro forcing its employees to smoke Marlboros - if those Marlboros were secret, non-public cigarettes only available on Marlboro premises. OK so maybe this metaphor is a little thin.

Every 2-3 years I am severely tempted by The Other Side, especially as a very happy Macbook user. But every time, there's a new phone that's just nice enough to keep me around.
