I use vscode because it's very flexible and does 99 percent of what a "full ide" does but at 10x the speed. I have a few thousand other developers who produce great extensions for me that do many things. I've also used j

I've got an SNES from when I was a kid in the 90s, but it's not in great shape I don't think. I'll dig it out and see if it works in two weeks (I'm moving) if you email me (in profile). If it does, I could part with

I've not used an iPhone for a while, but according to Google search: > The iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro will ditch 3D Touch in favor of "Haptic Touch," according to Apple's website. ... The new iPhones' Haptic Tou

They use them on ships in the navy, at least they did a decade ago. I would love to have them in my house, cartons are wasteful.

2 weeks of turning my screeps code from a simple script into a system where I had a CI/CD system (on a VPS I paid for in addition to the game!) compiling Purescript into screeps JS convinced me the same, lol. These are cool games for p

It was literally a screen mounted on a button, actually.

The whole screen was mounted on a big button, so touching it was hovering and you'd press the screen with a satisfying click to execute something. It wasn't the most reliable if you weren't careful, but why not do that with a

In vscode I press one set of keys and get fuzzy search access to every feature. I'd rather barely memorize the phrases to search with (several phrasing find the same settings for me) than to to memorize dozens of barely used hotkeys. M

see: the blackberry storm, which had hovering with a touch screen. I loved that phone.

The best world would be if every language had a decent formatter so everyone could view code as they wish and it was checked in at some standard width for a company. Or, a world where git didn't see a formatting change as a code change

One thing I hate is having like 20 different Python repos for one small company. At most places I've worked at, you have basically one thing you do business-wise, but it's split into what I believe are arbitrary repo delineations.

Try to find positions where they care more about your thought process and your past experience than in your ability to memorize facts about computers. I'm pretty good at my job and make pretty good software (I think), but I couldn&#x27

I still see my father in law and my step father dying (separately) very clearly, and wish I couldn't. I can see the life draining from my stepfathers half open eyes and his face as the nurse, thankfully, "made him more comfortable

It's in fish, so I can't use it myself (zsh), but I like this idea because where I live it's hot right up until about 45 minutes to sunset and everyone, including my family, goes out for a walk right at that "cool time o

There used to be someone on Reddit who knew every scene and episode of The Simpsons and would respond to every comment he was called into to regurgitate his knowledge, so while your comment might be a bit over the top, I'm sure it&#x27

I'm not very particular about reading so I'll just steam ahead on even the crappiest books. For nonfiction books I mostly put myself in the mindset of learning or conceptualizing the content in a more abstract way, like building a

Do you have a reference for this? Not that i don't believe you, but I recently moved away from California to my home state and I would love to know if this applies to my situation.

It's really magical for sure: It's one of the only chemicals which expands when frozen! I once read, not sure where, that many societies used to use water freezing to carve or break off materials such as a hard rock for constructi

I can definitely see things in great detail in my mind, I don't feel like it's too hard, is it really that uncommon? My wife always loses things, and when she is looking I just virtually walk around my house to figure out where it

I read The Phoenix Project a while ago, and it was pretty good to understand what DevSecOps is supposed to mean. It also convinced me that simpler processes are better and you add layers to those simple processes only if they are necessary.
