If you enjoy cooking shows, definitely take a look at Mind of a Chef. David Chang is the star of the show's first season, and it's narrated by Anthony Bourdain. Probably the most cerebral cooking show I've ever seen.

I've never quite understood the practice of putting SHA hashes next to a download. If an attacker has access to the download surely they also can manipulate the hashes as well.

Yeah, eventually something like this will solve a particular pain point for a subset of people. If this is supposed to just be a recreational thing, then I don't see the advantages it offers over stakes, bikes, scooters, etc.. But as t

I think it all depends on what you're background is in. If you want to be able to work on the JVM, then Clojure an Scala are going to be your obvious betts. If you're coming from a dynamic language (python/ruby/javascrip

I would have loved to use Ocaml for my compilers course, writing one in Java was a less than ideal situation, especially since the spec we were implementing was a strict subset of Java. Not much of a wow factor when you create a language th

Also, could be a lot of males familiar with the LOTR series, and mistaking golem for the character gollum. Easy mistake to make if you didn't read the books.

Unfortunately fluoxetine would have been an easy one for me. I got the word korfball (Dutch sport similar to basketball), which is interesting because I marked that I spoke dutch as a second language. I wonder if that was thrown in to dete

Kind of confusing how they call anonymous functions "pure functions". Having function literals is great, but calling them pure functions is going to be frustrating for anyone coming from a background in FP.

Here's a great talk[1] about all the clever bike infrastructure in the Netherlands, and how it can be adapted to work in Seattle specifically. It's a great in depth look for anyone interested in this stuff, basically a tech talk

The theater I used to work at was never that strict about bringing in food. If you made it obvious you were bringing in food we would ask you to throw it away, or finish it before entering. We would never search someones bag, or throw someo

Nope, the prices are going up because the studios are charging the theaters more. Our theater was even taking a small loss for each ticket for a while in order to keep people happy. All of theater profits come from sales at the concession s

But if you're using two finger scrolling this doesn't work so well. Also, while I can use my thumbs they aren't long enough for me to easily be able to access all corners of the trackpad with one thumb.

I hate the fact that it is possible to push yourself 80 hours a week and get ahead. That kind of work pace is possible, but hardly healthy, and in my experience tends to produce outbreaks of mental illness.But if it is possible to push your

I really appreciate Clojure's syntactic heaviness when compared to other LISPs. Just by using braces for associative data structures, and brackets for array's makes scanning through Clojure code much nicer because of the added vis
