Honestly the fact that we're too scared or sensitive to flag anti-patterns like these, is a disservice to the evolution of the practice of software development. Most people would benefit from this feedback... maybe if it was not public

But what about LED? The point is whether you're saying the letter or a word that starts with the letter.

Probably depends on the kids' age/ability. The playdate sdk is Lua, which has fairly basic syntax. However, the playdate sdk is fairly low level, so early projects will inevitably be laborious with infrequent engaging feedback cyc

I've come to the opposite conclusion, that taking heavy industry off planet is a godsend, because it allows capitalism's stagnating growth curve, fuelled by resource extraction with no regard to externalities, to plausibly continu

Because it relegates your definition of a life purpose to society's value system. If your purpose in life is caring for the infirm or teaching, or doing dance performances, society will not compensate you meaningfully in response. What

Praying to a machine is silly. That is the least creative interpretation of what role technology can play in an individual's spiritual journey. Imagine this guy was born a hundred years from now. No way his judgment on the relationsh

Digital medium has a higher dynamic range and can be used for playback of completely uncompressed orchestral performances, but in practice it also can reliably play audio that is so compressed (maximising perceived volume) that vinyl playba

Another vote for Lelit, I have an Anna PL41TEM with the PID controller, have made 2-3 perfect espressos every day, 7 days a week, since 2017 like clockwork. That's >4,000 shots and counting... A very solid piece of kit.

I don't get it either. For a bill of £4.90, you were already owed £5.10 after giving the tenner... How does throwing another 20p into the mix simplify anything? Now they owe you £5.30

Lazy loading solutions doesn't work when there's no library of solutions to pull from. Humanity already tried thinking it was better than the selfless pursuit of knowledge, that path leads nowhere good.

The article explained it? Oxford scholars were literally above the law, and used their protected status to abuse and demean the townspeople, up to and including the mayor. After the riot, the king cracked down and reasserted the arrangement

Aren't all modern 12 inch semiconductor fabs fully (100%) automated? As in. The WIP is too delicate to be handled by humans, and humans are only required for machine maintenance? Raw materials go in, and printed wafers come out.
