Nifty, with Firefox containers each one shows the "mode" I'm in. Hackernews for default container, personal has my Google world + open source + Dropbox, work has my work's Gmail world, and shopping has my Amazon account.

I don't review most Amazon products, mainly because I'm lazy. But I do like them. That means that if I were exchanging the product for a review, then in all likelihood it would be a positive review. I suppose it is a bias even i

If you open it on your computer and your phone, you get to see your plane fly out onto your computer screen after you throw it from the phone. I wonder how they are doing that, must be by IP? Or maybe the planes coming from the bottom of th

Yes -- a merge merges one branch into another, and creates a merge commit while doing so. A rebase rewrites history, as if the PR had been written on master directly. There is no merge commit and no evidence of a previous branch. Some peopl

Honestly, upgrading npm modules is never fun. This person is trying to learn the language at the same time -- you just can't expect that to work. You want to shrinkwrap / freeze your dependencies as soon as you can, and upgrade wh

I believe the intent was "1.7 representative per million citizens" as that was the unit used in all the comparisons.

Thanks for that. Yes, speech control seems really natural for certain tasks, like a painting program especially where you use few and distinct words. The VR painting programs come to mind. That case study interests me, but it really glazes

I'm really splitting hairs here, you have valid points but…I use a steno machine to write code all day. I know, I'm probably the only one. But steno was forever locked up in proprietary industry until only very, very recently when

"Beats humans at typing" is a super misleading title. I'm a hobbyist stenographer and I'm always interested in advances in voice recognition. But this is just a little test without much merit, in my opinion. A couple poi

It's hard, and I think it scales with a project's popularity. GitHub is very much susceptible to the lowest common denominator running in and yelling at maintainers. You can tell by many of the comments that both the users and the

I believe that was the subtext that the writer was trying to convey. Despite it being a bad pattern, it's one that their users still encounter and people are asking a solution for.

I thought that Rick and Morty was free on Adult Swim's website? That's where I ended up watching at least the first season (that might have changed). However, from the same creator, there was Dan Harmon's Community. Season 6

The Japanese Iced Coffee Method [2012] I thought this article was recent, but the date stamp reveals that it's four years old.

Which is why I don't see why this required 10 paragraphs to explain. I already brew iced coffee with 80 degree water through the AeroPress onto ice, then use cool water to make up the extra liquid if necessary. It's not the same a

This is my favorite point in this article: In addition, the rate at which information is created and shared, dictates the rate at which it is consumed. This encourages a shallow culture that skims, snips, and divides content into small “di

There's definitely a place for JavaScript. This page might not be it. I know that if I want to make a simple web app, it's easier for me to write it in JavaScript, throw it on GitHub Pages, and have free static hosting for it. Muc

Anecdotally, I'd say that I've experienced this because those memories carry lots of guilt. Over time, you lose the guilt because you keep trying to forget the details.

From the paper linked above: one cannot, for example, weight a coin so that it is substantially more likely to land “heads” than “tails” when flipped and caught in the hand in the usual manner. Coin tosses can be biased only if the coin is

The side-tabs don't have any hierarchy, but already you can fit many more tabs and have them visible at once than the tabs-on-top. I think the main thing that keeps tree tabs from happening is that it's an advanced concept for the

This looks neat because it allows people to try new features without risking stability in a beta or nightly environment. It also doesn't hold Mozilla accountable to get these new features into Firefox's core without proving that t

It was probably in reaction to the Dear GitHub letter. People were considering migrating away from GitHub and so they got their hands out of their pockets. We all benefit, though, GitHub becomes a better platform for us and they probably be

And with Google planning on banning those fake download buttons, it might alleviate the need for an adblocker. I feel bad installing adblockers on others' computers, but it's helpful for the virus-prone.

This could also help deaf people wanting to learn how to lip-read certain words -- because you are searching transcripts, you don't have to guess what the person is saying.

I mean, you have to memorize different spellings when typing normally. In Steno, I find that most homophone differentiators are given by spelling: BAIR --> Bare (phonetic) BAER --> Bear (spelling) You do have a point, though, that pre
