Back when most of the population didn't have access to books, you'd only have to make a choice if you wanted to learn from your dad or your mum or some other relative. Once libraries became a thing, now you had to choose from doze

At the time when I was learning go (about 5-6 years ago), this document was a truly effective guide which would have probably wasted my time by a factor of 100 had it been a published book on the subject with hundreds of pages of fluff (jus

Creating a repository on the official account of your employer is not an innocent joke. Media will pick up on it expecting content and when it doesn’t show up/gets removed, you’ll have a whole bunch of loser journalists writing news st

Trolling your new boss is a sure way to get your ass fired. EDIT: in case you're not aware, Musk has stated that one of the first things he'll be doing after taking Twitter private is to open source its algorithm.

Musk has repeatedly talked about "open sourcing" twitter's algorithm. Given Musk is (understandably) super impatient, this repo may be his first move. I expect this to start with bunch of readme and other high level docs and

Very interesting aspect of color management which I never paid attention to. I wrote a simple primer on color profiles [1] a while back which makes mention of state of custom color profiles on the web. I do wonder what result you'd get

I really dig the GTK's thick header bars and the widgets you can put there. Pretty sure Apple was the inspiration but it's a very elegant use of otherwise wasted space. I recently made a simple app in Go with GTK and it was quite
