The best programmers I know actually have zero editor loyalty. They've used vim/emacs, Visual Studio, VSCode, Atom, Sublime Text, etc. for significant periods of time. They're always willing to drop their current editor for

I ran across this a few years ago. I made the mistake of registering a .us domain with my home address. Found out the stupidity of that when my wife's ex, who has been out of her life for over 10 years at that point, sent us a weddin

I have an issue with most of the defenses of using a phone while driving, but are you saying we should not be able to use a dashboard mounted phone as a GPS unit? Should all dashboard mounted GPS units be illegal, or just phone as a GPS?

Since there's no standard, presumably different people use different methods, or sometimes none at all. Beyond that, people could still make a mistake and put something in code that belongs in an env file.

Yes, I'm always extremely wary of programmers who claim they advance so fast in the art that code they wrote in the last year or two is "garbage". It's more likely that they are just no longer familiar with that old cod

I looked at this because we've mostly given up folding clothes with our 3 kids. I watched a video of that machine and it seems to be more for people who hate the act of folding clothes instead of people who don't have the time to

We're dealing with this right now. Please, tell me how I can whitelist channels and/or individual videos on youtube for my kids. I'm not being sarcastic - I've done a lot of looking and can't seem to find out how.
