Notepad++ has incredibly easy to use macros with the record/play buttons in the toolbar. It is my preferred tool for quickly munging text files especially ones where you want to change formatting through the file.

The way the author defines loops is so broad that every single 90s game I can think of has them.

I am seeing information about the attacker that show he was being influenced by Rationalist thinkers - he posted about “If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies” by Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares. This information of course might be false, so

I know what it means to be under material poverty in this hell of a country. Even so I think this is another poisoned chalice. We are where you export your garbage to, whether material or digital. I spit on your false charity.

I am a lower caste Indian one generation removed from being farmhands. I have seen my parents go without for decades until I became successful. I still think this is utter cruelty and another way the poor are taken advantage of. Mr Paternal

I have worked extensively on Elixir in the past and had a decent enough time, some warts aside. How different is programming in Gleam in the day-to-day apart from type safety?

Great article but I’d say you’re optimizing for the wrong metric here. For in game playthroughs, offense > defense and especially speedy offense beats anything else. I’d state it as, Given any type, we should be able to hit it for super-

Dictionaries are not specs for the English language, they are wikis. Twenty years later when “delulu” (a word popular enough that my 65 year old father regularly uses it) has fallen out of style, new readers would find it very useful to get

DBeaver is somewhat clunky, yes, but for me that's a minor downside since it acts as a Swiss army knife, regardless of what DB I'm trying to access. That saves cognitive load from having to learn multiple tools. Pretty much anythi

I managed to slowly claw it back by completely changing my reading method. I download ebooks on my phone and read in 5-10 min chunks throughout the day (where I’d normally be using social media or checking the news) followed by 1 hour at th

I’d personally go with a single function like “convert_object_type” and pattern match into different clauses such as “convert_object_type(obj, from: m, to: mm)” and so on.

At my firm we’ve standardized on import being used only for a short list of well known first/third party modules (e.g. Ecto.Query and Plug.Conn). Application modules can be aliased, but not library modules. This is so that we don’t nee

Sadly, this curse is nearly inescapable if you want to play modern online multiplayer or PVP games. MOBAs, MMOs, shooters, racing games, etc. are almost all like this now.

Yes. I'm Indian, lower-caste (not Dalit) with a surname that does not reveal it, working in India. One of my most vivid memories is hearing colleagues at my first job (a large multinational conglomerate) casually use caste slurs (ch*ma

The average size of an agricultural holding was 1.08 hectares (2.67 acres) in 2015-16 and declining over time [1]. A lot of Indian land is small farms with houses clustered among them. That’s not to say that India doesn’t produce a lot of w

It’s a reference to freebasing cocaine. Lil B’s detractors (apocryphally) used to call him based as an insult (analogous to crackhead) and he then started calling himself the Based God.

The production is why I listen. Take 03 Greedo's "Sweet Lady" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iE3v7nSnHN4 ), for instance - this flips a hip-hop convention on its head by mixing the vocals lower than the samp
