Well, obviously, the brilliant scientists of LEGO City have invented better rocket fuel. Some sort of direct matter-to-energy converter to power the engines, and then fill the tanks with something really dense, osmium or whatever.

I moved everything important off Google years ago. I figure trusting the world’s largest advertising company with private data was sub-optimal. The cases we’ve seen since, where people get their Google accounts terminated without reason or

Most of these are “play stupid games, win stupid prices”, not things you’d encounter in normal usage. Queries like `select a, b from nums order by 2` are nonsense. And sure, you can create tables with weird names if you want, but that’s not

Postico is a lot nicer to use, though. I still use it for PostgreSQL databases, even though I have TablePlus for everything else.

I’ve been using TablePlus for a while, its nice to have because it supports all the databases I use with no fuss, replaced a bunch of separate apps for Redis/PostgreSQL/MySQL/Cassandra. Also comes as part of the deal if you h

Fira Code appears to be one of them, at least that is used on the website. A handcrafted recommendation of mine would be to try Iosevka ( https://typeof.net/Iosevka/ ) or Input ( https://input.fontbureau.com&#

LiveView is such a game changer for Phoenix (and thus Elixir). From being “just another web framework” (albeit a very nice one), LiveView enables a whole different paradigm for web applications. As a developer, it’s like having superpowers.

Indeed, there seems to be no reason to use this instead of JSON Schema.

Bad article. Confuses technology to take pictures with technology to share pictures with strangers online. If anything, Kodachrome was the phone camera of its time, but even that is comparing a horse-drawn carriage to a Mack truck.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. But it is really hard to imagine that Oregon’s governor is this stupid. So either there’s some political gains, or she simply just hates charter schools, their stude

This is an excellent example of motivated reasoning. The author wants to keep selling his IPSec tool and thus throws together a word salad loaded with conjecture and theoretical concerns. It appears he’s not even tried WireGuard. The argume

ESR is right. Open Source is granting everyone permission to use, copy, modify, and/or distribute software for any purpose (with or without copy-left). There are those who want to co-opt open source for political aims and grant lic

Oh, are you one of those people who’ve _chosen_ to live in a city that’s known to have a big festival every year, and is for some reason still angry said festival happens? You could just move, you know? Or at least plan vacation when the ca

How’s that working for ya? Democracies where the people only have a voice every few years are regularly seen doing things against the will of the people, because the politicians know they can get away with it, because it’ll be forgotten by

Of course Facebook wants to have its cake and eat it too. It would certainly be nice for them if they can claim editorial discretion, without editorial responsibility or transparency. The perfect legal shield. Power without responsibility.

There’s no doubt that the 2 -> 3 transition was rough for the Python community. I personally stopped using Python as my go-to language in the early Python 3, since writing Python 2 code felt stupid since it was outdated the moment you wr

Even if this particular problem is not Boeing’s fault, but Smiths’, the whole 737MAX saga still puts Boeing in a pretty bad light – cutting corners on security, outsourcing their software to dubious vendors, etc.

Some rather sensationalist claims there. Other than infringing on the DFSG, I don’t really see the problem with those binaries. If you’re downloading compiled software from anyone, you’re trusting them to not have put nasty things in the bi

Versioning big binary blobs is not what Git was designed for. It’ll do fine with smaller assets like icons and the like, but its data model is based on everyone using the repo having a local copy of the full repository history. You can’t ea
