I'm a big fan of videos like this[1]. Feels like guitar tab for piano. [1] - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3FYU72jwEA

3mg/kg for an average weight man is about 3 cups of coffee.

Peroxide eats away at the enamel layer. It's not good for your teeth. You might want to combine sensodyne or similar toothpaste with your treatment.

When I was a kid I discovered I could make brain freeze stop by flexing my jaw muscle and holding it tense for a few seconds.

When you are dying of stage 4 cancer like my mother was there should be an option. Instead she received a six month prescription for liquid morphine, and they were kind enough to give her the entire bottle without requiring her to get refi

I've yet to be on a software team where there wasn't at least one dev that always wanted to make video games.

You should change your tax deduction. There is no penalty for overpaying, and it's much nicer to receive a bunch of money every year than to possibly owe it. You won't miss it on your paycheck.

There is plenty of software that is needed or could use improvement. Anything from plasma simulation software to embedded firmware used in the solar industry.

I recall reading somewhere a gas powered leaf blower emits as much CO pollution in 15 minutes as a full sized SUV does over a 1000 mile cross country trip. They are insanely dirty in comparison.

In the short term. At some point you annoy your customers so much they get a Mac and never buy your software again. Compared to PCs, Macs are highly polished and just work (even if that's not entirely true today). Apple's succe

Very true, and the guy paying the salaries is wrong. The customers want the polish without knowing that's what they want. Customers want good software without knowing how to quantify good in software terms.

It makes binaries that can run anywhere by shimming(?) libc functions and values with a custom loader/linker.

No luck for me on win10. I can open the archive but get errors trying to add to it. 7zip and win explorer zip both fail with either unsupported or corrupted archive errors. Since it's a .com file, after downloading, win 10 also claim

What's not strong about them? Not everybody needs or wants AWS's 1000+ service offerings. Managed k8s and databases are all most people want.

I was hoping there was a rpi port. It seems this is x86 only.

I always have mixed feelings about using plurals for naming. Pluralization in English is extremely inconsistent. cat -> cats, dog -> dogs, child -> children, person -> people, etc. It makes my code feel inconsistent too. Somet

It seems really dumb that they are stackless. If you are saving/restoring the stack pointer anyway in your yield routine it's trivial to set it to a block of memory you allocated in the initial coroutine creation. Is there no set

It hasn't been a problem for Go. Having multiple implementations didn't seem to help D either. It might be a lock-in but fragmentation is bad too.

If I have to be careful with 20kv discharges generating x-rays, certainly it's within the realm of possibility that lighting bolts are generating y-rays, no?

We will get the money back. It won't have the same value though. 100% of work results in 356% money = inflation.

A terminal is a device. It can be physical like the console or a vt100 or similar, or virtual. It represents an input an display. A shell is a program that opens this device and performs IO with it.

Sadly I've had to fix this at more than one company. It's a bit of cognitive dissonance having to explain why downloading random shit from the internet during the build is a bad idea, yet here we are.

The irony is we place a lot of value on energy. The current economic system reflects this with oil being a proxy for energy.
