My desktop. Adobe Acrobat Reader DC is actually really nice for reading and annotating pdfs.

This title reeks of clickbait. Not to mention that it is posted by the creator...

Yeah, I guess I see what you are trying to say. I just want to clarify when I say predictable, I mean that given a set of operations. No matter the order they come in, the results will be the same. This makes OT powerful in that everyone ju

I would expect that if an editor makes a change, their change should be preserved. There is no general case where you can decide which edit to keep, because in some cases(like the one you presented) people are editing the exact same sentenc

This is cool! I've been working on something similar in Go, but I haven't spent much time on it recently. Is this a purely front-end application, or is there a server associated with it?

Regardless of whether or not they are legally in the right, this is a definite dark-pattern. Users should not exist on your site unless they signed up. Full stop. This shouldn't be a question of whether they should allow users to delet

At the last company I worked at, one of the first things they told us was,"you must take these certain breaks at approximately certain times in the day". The timing didn't have to be exact, but this approach allowed people to

The insert is still an N operation since N in this case is the number of nodes in the list. It would only be O(1) if the list was of constant size(and even that would be misleading). The worst case is still infinity, because you are concern

These queues are thread safe and lock-free, but they are far from efficient. My biggest issue here is that the runtime evaluations are wrong. The insert operation is definitely an average runtime of N (where N is the number of elements in t

I've never heard this, could you provide some sort of evidence of this? I was always under the impression that warranties were purely manufacturer defined and could be voided for any reason the manufacturer stated up front.

Look, I understand you may not understand what it is like having ADHD, but your post came off incredibly dismissive. Telling a person with ADHD to "just focus" can be like telling a person in a wheelchair to "go for a run&quo

I think you are being a bit dismissive of what is a widely accepted mental disability[1][2][3][4][5]. If you want to spout some nonsense about how you feel about the field, that's fine, but note that you are falling into the same cat

If you use vagrant heavily, you are almost forced to use packer at one point. There are certain things you simply have to put into a base image and packer is the best way to do that. However, I will say the support for vagrant seems fairly

The first few chapters have some really good lessons in them. It isn't really, in my opinion, a great book to read all the way through, but the little stories in the margins are well worth reading.

For programming, "Game Coding Complete" by Mike McShaffry and David Graham. The book gave a very nice intro to a number of design considerations and given that McShaffry did a decent amount of game programming in the early days of

They got SSH access? Steps I would take are: 1. Isolate the machine. 2. Rotate your keys. 3. Set up ssh via ssh keys and remove ssh passwords. 4. Now do whatever you want with the isolated machine. If you already are using ssh via ssh keys

At any responsible business with 100+ employees, third party software often passes through legal if it doesn't adhere to a pre-existing license(apache, mit, etc.). I think it wouldn't be correct to assume that there are only a few

The short answer: It depends. The long answer: It depends on what your biggest constraint is. If your biggest constraint is server cost, then I would suggest C++. C++ has come a long way in terms of web services, and if you are doing both i

I understand that there was a specific intention in using the term lightweight, but the proper term would have been small. This is a small language, but it is most certainly not lightweight. There really isn't such thing as a "lig

I think(hope) you just chose bad examples there(aside from that community leader one). I feel that the right reaction is to get as much information on what actually happened and act accordingly. If there is actual evidence that such allegat

I really like this because by default it gives all of the http headers and makes everything look really nice. Curl still has its place, and I wouldn't dream of replacing it, but I would definitely use this as a sort of command line sho

I don't think that rewriting LaTeX is the right route, but rather compiling something else into LaTeX or making a good LaTeX editor(one where you wouldn't actually be writing straight LaTeX). I think a sort of SASS or Coffeescript

Seriously though... The number of researchers who expect us to accept wild claims at face value without releasing data is unbelievable. It should be a prerequisite for most journals since it would help protect the journals from false experi

Ok, so this is "decentralized" in the sense that a communication from one client will be sent directly to another client, but you still have to have a centralized discovery method. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't We

One of the things that is weird to me is that Javascript is not necessarily the easiest language to learn. With the kind of odd function composition nature of Javascript, I think that Ruby and Python(or maybe Lua) are the much easier langua

OOP abstracts pieces of functionality into objects, which is closer to how we view the real world. It is often much easier to think about code that has been abstracted into objects, given that good abstractions have been made. This makes co

Look I get that many people like to make these broad statements about the quality of one model vs the other, when the reality is that they do better for different things. OOP works really well for abstracting and creating easy to read and w

Look, I understand that Thiel may have been on a kind of personal vendetta, but I can't really argue that what he has done is wrong. Gawker regularly does what a number of other journalistic outlets do as well, that being: printing the
