"Treadmill is bad because it was invented as a torture device and one famous person died three years after doing it excessively. It is like running without any of the good stuff". This is an actual argument from the article.

I have one of the offline models which seems to randomly crash around and it really is good enough. I wonder if mapping significantly improves anything to justify paying so much more (and apparently having to share the generated map with th

When that "Get Office" thing first popped-up, I was sure my PC was infected with malware and came to the brink of formatting my hard drive. Later came the random console pop-up from the automatic WSL updates [1] and then I did pan

Anecdotal evidence (myself) suggests that those effects, if there is any at all, would not be significant :) I do wonder though, how do you scientifically analyse that? Ask people if they were exposed to porn as a kid to pick your evaluatio

If someone finds some protected data as controversial as AACS encryption key[2] and creates a "fork" of HIV which contains that information, I'm optimistic that we will get a cure for it in a few years. On a more serious note

Well, an admittedly silly poll[1] from nearly 4 years ago showed JS to be the 6th most loved, if you subtracted dislikes from likes: Python 2093, C 1630, Go 766, SQL 706, Haskell 691, JavaScript 683, C# 666 I know it doesn't mean anyth

"Standard" (the name is very hard to tolerate) not being configurable with questionable defaults (no semicolons!) and being JS-only (no TS or CSS support) makes Prettier[1] a better option. It has a VS Code extension which works

Thanks for making this open-source. It seems to use Homestead for deployments and Homestead apparently needs a VM. Is there a way to make this work without a VM or have a docker file maybe?
