I know many will disagree, but I think the commentary on SR&ED killing momentum and motivation in startups is bang on, even though it's a nearly impossible thing to measure or quantify. I'm sure many fellow Canadians reading t

I'm convinced that the vast majority of business-y manager types that always trumpet "we have to be more agile" have never read the agile manifesto - specifically the "individuals and interactions over process and tools&

I've tried this a few times and none of the ovens I've had over the years have been successful in removing seasoning with their self-cleaning, so at this point I'm trying to find a machine shop that will be happy to bead blas

Are you saying that the android auto code has access to the OBD2 bus (and possibly canbus)?

You wouldn't necessarily need to even drop much more than a mass that weighs more than twice the buoyant force of the buoy with a block to redirect the cable, then have a floating platform that's more buoyant than the sinking buoy

How often are you verbally communicating primary keys/id's internally within an organization? I've never understood arguments against guid's, except for table performance with databases that might take a performance hit

Anecdotal, but I've found rust much easier to grok and become comfortable to work in than I have with Go - partially due to the docs, but largely because of the perceived complexity in explicitly typing and handling of options and resu

I think you may be in a minority of people that intentionally turn their machine off at the end of the day. I don't think I've intentionally shut down my desktop or laptop (excluding reboots and when leaving for travel) for years.

To me, this is mostly a solved problem for casual contributors using the web interface of GitHub (and I assume gitlab, Bitbucket, and others). If more "serious" contributions need to be made, learning the basics of how git works i

Another vote here for ThinkPads. I have a t480s and an X1C for work, both with arch and they both run beautifully using the same configs and dotfiles on both (with a few minor changes around display resolutions). They're solid machines

This can be a surprisingly useful tool at times - I've definitely used it to advantage when doing creative coding so that the graphic or animation is displayed behind my terminal and I can see and edit the code at the same time as view

I've never really considered this before but it's interesting. Does this happen randomly or is there some geographic/tower based IP sharing?

This isn't limited to MBA's. There's plenty of (non-cs) engineers out there that are in high ranking positions, making decisions over areas of the business that they know absolutely nothing about. It's not an MBA cult pr

This still requires a node runtime. As far as I understand, the deno usage creates a single executable - batteries included.

Fwiw, I have a 13" ThinkPad with a 4k display and get ~4 hours of real battery life or more while working with docker running a handful of containers, browser, vim, spotify, and a few dev tools running. Nothing amazing by any means, bu

Even with multiple displays it's not that difficult - just pass the scale you want for a given display when calling `xrandr` and things generally just work as long as you're downscaling from the "native" dpi you have X u

This isn't really a problem in this case. Housing in Vancouver is _incredibly_ expensive, and there's a huge amount of foreign ownership by rich people that leave the dwelling empty all the time, or maybe only live in it for a few

Or just use plain old gpg and a git repo or backup service. Pass is good because it is roughly domain specific to passwords and secrets. I wouldn't exactly consider tax forms "secrets", but rather just private information. Ad

I'm an avid pass user too, but I think claiming that managing gpg keys is _simple_ is a bit of a stretch. Creating a single key on one machine is not hard. Following proper best practices for gpg using subkeys and setting up pass to wo

Agreed that it's not a good practice security wise. This is what I argued against when the initial request was made (we also had over the air upsates) but it was interestingly the _most_ "security conscious" customers that ha

I've never liked this explanation because most HFT is just front-running. The liquidity is there already, they're just shaving their cut off the top in most cases because they can move faster than everyone else.

Partially, but DOD like in the article examples work great when you have a "rigid" architecture like a game where having a struct to contain vecs/arrays of player attributes makes sense. This can break down when your "ob
