A lot of people will spend $30 at a coffee shop in a week. Maybe $150 in one month. I think $15 for a whole month of entertainment, tutorials, and useful content and to pay the people who create the videos is worth it.

It's not a directly mappable to a register-based microprocessor but it's directly mappable to a stack-based microprocessor. e.g. The PSC 1000 microprocessor (1994) could run Java directly: https://en.wikipedia.org/

CSS has way more features today than 15 years ago but is easier to master in my opinion. Back then, CSS implementations had a lot more quirks and you had to keep all of this in your head. Just because one combination of CSS properties in Fi

I couldn’t screenshot non-DRM videos on Windows XP either. It’s because the video is being rendered on a different framebuffer for performance reasons. Helpful for DRM too.

You’re way overthinking it. I go to a show. There’s maybe 50 people in a dark, dingy room. I want to support the band so I buy a shirt and a record from the merch table. Sometimes I’m right by the record store so I stop and browse. I see an

While it is, the same issue exists in Sublime, Vim, Emacs, Gedit, pico/nano[1], IntelliJ, Android Studio, Eclipse, and every editor. [1] https://threatpost.com/researchers-show-how-popular-text-edi... I think Xcode may

Actually it goes the other way. Inflation erodes public debt [1][2]. It is, however, not necessarily good[3]. But at the end of the day, the causes of inflation are not cause and effect. You can print money to save an economy without causin

At least in my area, we also don’t build new highways. We only widen existing ones. Right of way seems to be the biggest driver of cost and seems to be a major blocker for transportation progress.

Have been doing all my life and it has never backfired. It’s not about breaking rules. It’s that I already know what you want. If I buy you ice cream without asking you for the flavor, it’s because I already know what you want because I pay

Force closing Google Maps on iOS also does it for me. Which means you cannot trust the My Maps feature if you are traveling anywhere with poor cell service. That’s how I know.

100% a generation thing. Been around long enough so I've written my own CSS framework, server-side framework, web browser, web server, sent bits over Ethernet, written assembler, programmed a FPGA, built circuits, AND have a electrical

While it’s true we came close during Civil War, we still decided to keep the same system of government. In the end, while the Civil War did result in some constitutional crises, the root of the problem was more that one half of the country

Agree too. Just because you can get something to work doesn’t mean it’s supported. Using an Amazon S3 library on a non-Amazon service is “works but isn’t supported.” Stick to only supported things if you want reliability.

If someone has only used a handheld wood sander, they will be ecstatic when someone shows them a powered belt sander. But someone who has used a palm sander, orbital sander, belt sander, disc sander, and so on will be able to see a new type

“Healthy” is meaningless. You should provide calorie counts and strive for nutritional balance. If I have a “healthy” 300 calorie salad before a 3 hour run, I will crash very hard. Instead I will eat a high sugar and high fat candy bar. If
