Oh man. Same here. It’s just such a social activity. I stopped smoking when I moved to the US since it’s just difficult to smoke here and nobody else smokes. However, whenever I go back to the Balkans I revert back to my old habits quickly.

The late game crisis is such a good idea to solve this problem. At that point you're strong enough that you can beat all the other empires but then an extra-dimensional invasion happens that's just so much stronger than anything e

This is incorrect. I'm a Type 1 Diabetic and in my opinion keto diet is probably the healthiest diet a diabetic can be on. Ketoacidosis is a result of extremely high blood sugar for a prolonged period of time combined with ketosis. The

This is correct. I grew up on a spectrum 48k and as a kid I remember often wasting time trying to find the longest keyword thinking that the lag was a function of the number of keywords in the buffer. I believe RANDOMIZE (T) was the longest

There are a lot of things that rails gives you out of the box automatically which require either a lot of additional code in Go’s ecosystem. CSP, csurf tokens, param parsing with array and hash map params, strong params, automatic response

This is really where it’s at. I’m not even close to retirement age, just about to hit 40, but I really think often of retiring and how I want to spend more time working with the nonprofit I volunteer for. Developing software that has real

I was really disappointed with the service area though. I was hoping it would be available as you say "in Phoenix", but it's only available in Chandler which is just one suburb south-east of Phoenix. Service has been this way

Thanks, that does answer the question I wrote, however my point was that I'm very uncomfortable with this environment where any innocent word could be interpreted as a dog-whistle, and was curious if any "notice" synonyms are

Interesting. Could you suggest how to rewrite that comment and express that a person noticed something (in the literal sense of the word) without using a dog whistle?

I’m curious about the example of unintentional complexity and type system lies in Rust? Or did you mean to say that oCaml, Rust, and Coq have intentional design complexity?

That’s a pretty interesting edge case. Now that you’ve said this I do remember Richard Dawkins making that argument. That’s pretty compelling.

Is it? I always thought that species is defined as a group that can have fertile offspring. Horse and donkey, for example are not the same species because their offspring, a mule, is not fertile.

Yeah that's a fair point that I didn't consider; you're probably right. Unfortunately, workers are still shooting themselves in the foot by doing this. Having emotional outbursts is always the wrong move and it's one tha

It's a library around Terraform that lets you write infra stuff in Python, JavaScript, Go, and maybe some other langs. For me the biggest benefit is the fact that I can write my infra with Types in TypeScript.

This looks great! I absolutely love that it assumes no knowledge of anything, including how the computer works. This is how all educational material should be written. I think that most knowledge gaps we all have are caused by a teacher
