thank you for digging up the link, it was everything I hoped it would be. that one's going in my bookmarks. obviously a second server and a reverse proxy or something would be less jank, but your idea definitely has merit. it's ki

programmers ("developers," if you prefer) have trouble with "second order" thinking. we integrate X technology in Y way, maybe with some Z optimization, and that'll solve the problem. okay, but, like... will it? is

Apparently it relies on ECN, so that makes sense: > It uses the Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) protocol... Because ECN support is essential for L4S, senders use the ECN field as the protocol that allows the network to identify wh

The airspace they fly through isn't a very nice place to be, so actually getting three of them to hit the tank may take more than three, or maybe three plus various systems to counter various other systems operated by the tank's

I mean, some of those personal interests were long term too. "Peasants need food within the next few days or they'll die": short term interests of the people. "I need aristocrats to take everyone's grain so I can ma

There's definitely a lot of C, so it's not unlikely that any given ordinary problem might appear in a codebase that happens to be C. It's also possible some issues are specific to C and they're only common because becaus

It sounds like you don't work like that, you talk to other humans at occasional meetings. I do mostly "just sit down and code" and it's a problem. Your situation sounds healthy and productive to me, I want to be more l

> I really think git made a mistake in conflating the immutable log of what was changed with the (ideally mutable) story of what got merged in. So you see people arguing over squashing commits vs rebasing vs merging. Every team I've

They might regulate the number that's okay for the person serving me, but they definitely don't regulate the amount I'm personally okay with. I'm a little curious which is lower. But only a little.

Firearm auctions are pretty common. High bids are definitely often about person/legend/myth, like being at a famous battle, but many others are pretty much just the gun. I think that's because they're relatively common,

Mathematical notation is a language, but actual math isn't. For example, the concept of there being one of something is an inherent feature of our reality, but drawing short vertical lines for them is a thing we do. Similarly, we did

yeah, this guy gets it. idiomatic-ness is based on p̵o̵p̵u̵l̵a̵r̵i̵t̵y̵ consensus and only indirectly by technical merit. if someone throws shade at code for being nonpythonic, the code probably isn't bad. if it was they'd have fo

Yeah, but devices aren't very useful for education if the students can't type on them.
