It is really astounding how much we can "see" what's going on out there by combining our models of the universe with our recordings of the electromagnetic waves arriving at earth.

It's true, the build quality is bad and my coworker has the same exact issues as mine (rubber coating came off the casing, volume up button stops clicking but can still be mushed down to use). The battery pack casing started to open up

The author says he tried the bose qc20 (in-ear headphones), but then goes onto describe the bose qc25 (over-ear headphones). I'd like to defend the honor of the bose qc20, which has superior noise canceling to the qc25. While it's

US doesn't have nearly the public transport infrastructure that the UK does, unfortunately. I think the issue here may be that cities aren't necessarily building infrastructure to compensate for their reductions of car access.

Biggest example is the terrible working conditions of games developers in industry. These are some of the brightest, most dedicated coders out there, but they accept less money and crazy long hours. It's the same thing with other profe

It really is just one of those things that works so well. I was traveling recently and met some folks at a hostel. At the end of the trip we wanted to share our photos and videos with each other. Our hostel's internet connection consis

I would love to find out why I am being downvoted but the parent isn't. My post is no more uncivil or substantive than by the one by "fwdpropaganda".

I think this is more like finding out that the republicans screwed over Donald Trump. There's a strong case to be made for Corbyn being in the mold of Trump, but from the left instead of the right.

wait, really? padding with zeros maps to a different IP address than the non-padded version? Is that because a leading zero causes it to be interpreted as an octal number?

This is by far my favorite feature of Coffeescript, and it makes me sad not to have it in other languages. There was an attempt at including it into EcmaScript, and an interesting discussion about the merits and the difficulties of implemen

This is such a fantastic question, and I applaud you for improving your craft like this. Hands-on material is the most unique thing that you can show them. Show them things that a textbook won't. Show them what it's like to tinker

I was just thinking about this today as I needed to conserve battery power on my xps 15 for an airplane trip. Thanks for reminding me to check out bumblebee.

I caught that, but it makes for a terrible post and so I’m downvoting it

That is sad. I really appreciated the way this sentence got at the essence of this tragic situation: “The internet can seem so intimate but ultimately it’s a thin view of an individual’s or company’s reality.“ of course that’s true, but the

I found that skimming the Test Driven Development sections helped cut down the amount of material I needed to get through. Already knowing web development is a good prerequisite as well, and Michael Hartl's Learn Enough series should b

This is one of the most astute criticisms that I've seen of coding style, along with your earlier post regarding locality of reference and duplication of statements vs duplication of intent. I think these are really great principles fo

In my opinion unnecessary abstractions -- especially splitting code up into different files -- is a tax on working memory and leads to difficulty achieving flow state. Every layer of indirection takes up residence in working memory and so i

I think that onyva might be referring to those situations where various plugins and emacs major modes require you to operate with emacs bindings, and are otherwise incompatible with vim bindings. It’s a bit rare but I’ve had to switch to em

If you don't mind expanding a bit, what would you say to a Spacemacs user to encourage that user to explore vanilla emacs?

I hope like hell that snips succeeds. This IoT stuff really needs to be open source. I don't want to fill my home with sensors that I don't control, and I'm technical enough to deploy some home brew stuff, but there's ju

oh wow, that is nice. I've been looking for something like dark night mode for a while now, glad you pointed it out

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for. I went to "Create New Style" and added the following and now I'm all set: html { filter: grayscale(100%) !important; }

I suspect that the more we learn about self control, the more it will come to resemble what we know about intelligence. It's heritable environmentally, genetically, and it's a learned habit. It's not evenly distributed among
