Same, I switched decades ago because of rsi. Now I always use the mouse on the left. I used to switch to the right only to do very fine “lasso” work in photoshop. But I do full time development only now.

My favourite times were playing Marathon and Quake during lunch at work. This was mid 90s. Marathon was a cutting edge Mac game made by Bungie. It was the first 3D shooter I played where you could look up and down.

Yikes! I started with Digital Darkroom which I think was a Photoshop precursor.

No one on this thread is talking about the simplest explanation: that unseen entities were communicating with this woman. Of course this explanation flies in the face of scientific naturalism. But it’s good to question beliefs based on new

Is it just me, but how can this be taken seriously when the author was trying to show no result. While I love self experimentation, publishing it as if it’s valid science is unfortunate.

Do they really save us time? What about if you used a mature back end framework such a Rails, Django or Laravel for 95% of your app. And then vue or react for the 5% that rally needs it? Would this be more or less productive?

What would that look like in practice. Would you write 95% of the basic crud stuff as server side rendered then just have the React or Vue component for the really complex UI stuff? Would there be downsides having the mix of languages (assu

Does this style of development have a name? Were there trade offs or limitations with those libraries?

Our team is solid with a good mix of back end and front end skills. We have a legacy web app we want to modernize. Many people on the team want a SPA but I’m just cautious about blindly following the hype (remember when SQL was un cool unti

Same experience. I thought this was a joke then looked closer and realized it is legit. And helpful also!

When you see his face in profile near the end, it's clearly not Willem Dafoe's head shape. And in the middle his ear lobes were jumbled. But other than that it's pretty creepy! But that's probably because of the scene th

We use this work flow and it works masterfully. I have no need to save all my small commit - partly because I commit often to run tests in parallel on a CI server. Does anyone know of a layer that you can use on top of git to make the occas

It is still relevant, They updated the copy in 1985 to keep it modern but also true to the original. The straightforward message of that book is as powerful as ever.

Exactly. Our brains evolved in a complex social environment where saying or doing the wrong thing could mean getting attacked or pushed out of a social group. But in modern society this is much less the case. And what would it be like if we

This is pretty amazing! Does anyone know of anything similar for PHP?

Thanks. I did a deep dive. Fascinating how brilliant people like Yarvin can miss the boat on basics like compassion and empathy for other beings.

This is a pretty strong statement. Can you provide details to back it up? I’m interested because Urbit seems at the edge of genius that is ahead of its time and obscure and inaccessible. The hoon programming language seem quite ambitious.

This book is dated but excellent. It basically teaches us to have empathy for our child’s state of mind and feelings. This empathy is hard to generate sometimes but I’ve found it to be the most effective way to parent. Ironically this is tr
