Lithium is everywhere, especially in salt lakes. A long time ago I met someone whose family ran a mineral extraction company, of which there are many around Salt Lake City. They take the lake water and evaporate it. The main non-water in

Don't replace the default logging mechanism. Your wrapper version with the fancy colors isn't better. Disagree pretty strongly with this one. Colors make changes in the data pop instantly. Colors are for humans. Logs are for

Materialists, physicalists, or naturalists[2] might scoff at such explanations (especially if they've never had strong psychedelic experiences, though sometimes even then), but I believe that it's likely that a great religious re

If a bridge collapses, we don't get upset that the police weren't forming ranks by the bridge to keep the water away. Software is more like bridges than stores. It's supporting infrastructure that needs to be able to withst

On average, I believe most users benefit from an automated check for updates. It should be possible to disable it, but we should first worry about keeping users safe. They should still ask first, at first run. I actually enable update ch

It would be nice if there were a way to automate the "remembering what that one function is called and what order the parameters are in" portion of my job. IME the best thing for this is looking at the method listing in the docs
