On Android there is an app called NewPipe to avoid mobile adds. I'm having to pinch pennies, though.

There would surely be a huge amount. Another space where you'd need a whisperer would be anywhere near regulatory data. E.g. government mandating data is reported in a certain way. These are domain specific and typically cruel and unus

Barely related but I've yet to find a home run of an app for this site. I'm using materialistic at the moment but it's nigh impossible to manage replies and I can't see votes.

Double slit / quantum eraser definitely suggests to me that we don't understand some very fundamental aspects of the universe. If I think about the scale of the universe, points in time before the universe, or why there is somethi

I thought docker on Mac used a virtual machine + disk resulting in slower file io? As opposed to running containers directly against the host kernel / file system like Linux.

JIRA is not doing the SPA cause any favours :P. My rage builds even just trying to use the search bar on JIRA. Keys don't get captured and get registered as page hot keys, or some keys are registered and others aren't. Crazy, just

I seriously disagree. Branching models are one of the few things that can be decided upon at short notice. It shouldn't be changed every day, but going from merge commits to rebasing is not going to prevent anyone from working. The VCS

It does! I'm not sure what that person is referring to. git log can even use ASCII art to depict the relationship. Most modern git web frontends depict the relationship. Sourcetree, gitkraken depict the parent relationships. I wonder i

Does it work with milkdrop? That visualiser is exceptional. Unfortunately project M isn't as good.

I laughed, but PHP Storm and IDEA are very good tools imo. Netbeans was quite good when I used it as well, although clunkier. They can be very memory hungry though (of course).

Sorry for posting this here, this is from a prior comment chain. I've just taken quite a while to read and then summon the energy to respond :P. It takes me a while to write about this topic without: a) seeming like I'm insane, an

That's interesting, thank you. I do suspect for some media it's just that they expect me to listen to action scenes/intro jingles louder than I want to (maybe assuming a bigger room / TV further back?) But I will keep th

Java has gotten much better on the xml front. A lot of the tooling can abstract you from the brunt of it. Have you ever played around with Kotlin? Never say never my friend, as someone who has used PHP in the past I prefer Java by far. The

Hey ragnese, thanks for your posts. Re; the mixed int/string key issue with filenames being the key - what issue did you witness having a mixed combo of types for the key cause? Or was it just that the types were mixed and this was unn

I find this an issue with nearly every TV show or movie ever made. The intro music is typically far too loud, and as you say dialogue is significantly quieter than the action scenes. I basically have to watch with the remote in my hand. I&#

It's our understanding/perception that is fooled. We feel like we are the conscious authors of our thoughts when really they are summoned from within and calculated for us. We feel like pilots but really we're riding coach. I

How did that function in terms of maintenance? Was it clear where bugs existed or where new functionality needed added? I'm curious as I've never gotten to work on a system like that before.

The config path is different, perhaps that was it? Or maybe an award installation a few years ago. I remember having a few minor issues with pip, due to unfamiliarity with it. Some python version shenanigans as well. These days I can't

Is this pattern for SEO generation? So many sites take this approach - I'll be preaching to the choir complaining about how frustrating that user experience is. While I'm ranting about web experience, how about Bitbucket hijacking

Sam Harris regularly claims that it reduces the half life of emotions such as rage. I personally find that a 'deterministic' view of life achieves that for me. For whatever reason when I meditate I can only leverage it as a relaxa
