The main subject of the article, “Frank”, is already married. This is the part of the article that explains his motivation: > There were the kids at school who taunted him for his height; a longtime online fan of his artwork who remarked

In my experience the truth is somewhere in the middle. It's helpful to neither completely ignore nor ruminate over one's traits, but just _be aware_ of them. It's been very helpful for me to pay attention to and think about h

I agree with the author that this is a reasonable way to indicate their intent. But I've seen so many accidentally ineffectual code snippets that if I saw this code I'd be inclined to delete it unless there was also a comment expr

Certainly it might not make sense to build extensive public transit in or between every tiny town in Wyoming. But within individual cities, or areas like the Northeast Corridor, the density is comparable to areas of Europe with fantastic pu

As some other commenters have noted, in cities like Amsterdam and Tokyo there are enough nice safe public spaces that even young children are free to play outside on their own and there's much less planning required to go places sinc

There's no "cannot", it's a conscious choice - if you have more space than necessary that absolutely does not require that you expand to fill all of it. And in particular this has caused issues because American cities te

If you slow down the pace to help the "zero percenters" and only cover 80% of the material in the allotted time, the students who could have handled 100% of the material will be limited to 80%. And that slowdown still won't b

There isn't an assumption that all white men are racist here. Instead, I think the reasoning is that the vast majority of white men have benefited (probably unknowingly) from structural racism to the detriment of other groups. The trai

What's worse, the dropdown doesn't even work for me (on iOS Chrome). It's stuck on 1 month.

Know of any apps like this that are available for iOS? I loved the old wunderground app's graphs and have been trying to find a replacement for ages...

Not sure if this is trolling or what, but either way, can someone with more karma please flag this?

Out of curiosity, how did you get started with distributed systems side projects? Do you use e.g. a bunch of Docker containers or cloud VMs?

Having just spent several months preparing for FAANG interviews myself, I would say not - these go far beyond the data structures I'd expect an interview to cover at most tech companies.

It wasn't so obvious to plenty of smart and competent teachers and textbook writers, so if nothing else it's worth "rediscovering" to bring it to their attention. Not everyone has the time or energy to derive their every

I've seen several doctors who have confirmed that it's not a serious issue... All the treatments I've heard of have a higher likelihood of side effects than I'm willing to risk to fix something that's just an annoya

I developed eye floaters about a year ago that are annoyingly noticeable against any page with a white background. The Dark Reader extension ( https://darkreader.org/ ) has been a life saver for me, and I've found my eye

To be honest, I feel like Python's philosophy makes it easier to focus on the "craft" of programming; instead of worrying about small details like how to iterate through a collection, I'm able to just do it the boring-bu

I finished undergrad this year (small liberal arts college), and all my classes beyond the CS101 equivalent used git. But the deepest we got into git in lecture, even in a software engineering class, was add + commit + push and hence most o

+1 on the Kinvara. I'm a current college XC runner, and I've been running in the Kinvaras (many different versions) for 5 years now. I've found that the low weight makes a big difference, allowing you to run with a higher cad
