Science is the difference between "everyone kind of already knows" and proven facts. Don't confuse a hundred years of Martian sci-fi with actual scientific discoveries about Mars.

Just thinking out loud. Github is great. It is also a proprietary, centralized, Microsoft owned service. The "problem" with Github and the enormous popularity of Github is that by not using it, an open source project is perceived

It's unreadable for me at the scale where the entire width of text fits. Proper responsive design is an accessibility feature. It is a big deal.

That's a problem with using Github, not a problem with Emacs development.

There's only one problem with that comparison: web development and game development aren't exclusive to each other. Those days are long gone, thanks to WASM and WebGL. For a game developer, the modern web browser is just another p

A little off topic, because I can't think of any ways in which programming is harder now. IMO getting into programming is easier than ever. The most popular language in the world (Javascript) is installed on nearly every computer and y

As a vegetarian of eight years, I can say that a meatless diet did not have any effect on my depressive episodes. I had them before I stopped eating meat, and I had them after. So based on my one person anecdata this is correlation (maybe a

This isn't a new phenomenon. This strategy is proven to work largely because of people like you who put in time and effort to answer those types of questions with quality information. Stack Overflow was literally built on this very pre

Open world games generally let the players enact their own stories. That's kind of their main draw.

I also take issue with the headline. "Tyranny" is when you have no choice. That is not the case with Twitter. First of all, there is the choice of using Twitter. Secondly, there is the choice of who to follow on Twitter. I would h

Seeing how my wooden signs and item names containing perfectly safe Latvian words have been brutally disappeared and censored in Minecraft Bedrock, this seems like global disaster about to happen. In my experience, Microsoft is incompetent

What should be illegal is companies accepting an email address without verification. My email is my identity. It should be impossible to sign up with an email that you don't have access to.

Oh, Samsung. I just went through the most insane account recovery process I've ever seen. Tried to register a Samsung account, but my email was already taken. Guess I must have had an account at some point. If you forget your password,

Just spent three hours debugging a thing that turned out to be a cache issue. I think a big part of the problem is that it's not always obvious that the resource is coming from a cache. Some proxy somewhere is serving old data, but you

Don't track your home directory with Git if you have a habit of using git clean -xdf. Speaking from a bad experience.
