Did you disable kernel security to inject the window server extensions? I don’t understand the repercussions so I’m a little reluctant to.

Agreed. I can't anything cognitively difficult when I am any kind of intoxicated.

I can't even focus/code after 1 beer. I can't imagine what cannabis would do.

Yeah, I could never get into those games 'cause they felt too much like work. Instead of factorio I'd rather write some fun code. Instead of WoW, I'd rather go exploring the woods. But you do need recreation. Games could be f

What do you like in terms of "interactive media"? Are you talking strictly games or something? When you said "interactive media", my mind immediately went to tell tale games, "Wolf Among Us" [0]. It's more

Interesting article, but I don't see how the increase in number of arguments invalidates the "do one thing well". Sure ls has a 58 (!) arguments but it's still a tool to list files ultimately. > I've heard people

Can you share hackernews feeds? I wasn't aware there were any available.

#3 - that's the attractiveness of RSS feeds, nobody prioritizes them but me. I read what I want in the order that I want it in. I use Feedly as an aggregator and mostly read on my iPhone with Reeder.

Software engineering is so much more than web dev. Off the top of my head: - devops - security - mobile apps - desktop apps

This is why I love using emacs. The extensibility is endless, which is of course both a benefit and a liability sometimes. I've tinkered with my own customizations of course, but can someone recommend a good methodical approach for lea

Yeah, I have/had the same problem. I've started using spaced repetition to retain what I've done. Check this out, spaced repetition for learning how to code: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kshXDo8psj8 Essent

Don't forget the investment in learning. Maybe next time a similar task will take much less time. The first time I used awk I struggled and probably took way longer than necessary, but the second time a similar task (process a bunch of

They probably have a laundry list of requirements (like nuclear containment?) before they even get to software. I've been in many a design meeting where a "must have" was pushed out to the next version because "the user

Fair enough, I suppose. The article author was comparing submarine nav software to phone nav software though and google says there are 5+ billion mobile users. That's another couple of order of magnitude more. That'd explain why m

Remind me when USS McCain collided with another ship in a busy channel [0]. Because of a UI issue, they couldn't figure out where throttle control was and ran into someone. Which is crazy to me. I was going to say, that there probably

A bit of an aside, a fascinating video [0] that reviews a recent metastudy: "how many steps per day does it take to reduce all cause mortality". Turns out the answer is between 3000 and 7000 steps a day. This is a sample of 30,000

I got an under desk treadmill. It's flat -- doesn't have the bar that standard treadmills have. It only goes up to 6km/h; but I typically run it around 2km/h anyway. At this speed I can do most things - email, coding, et

Don't mean to be flippant, but maybe something completely unrelated to tech? I find that when I disconnect/disengage from my tech, I come back refreshed and enthusiastic. Anyway, I would recommend a small toolkit (or a big one) &#

Right? I've been emacsing for a couple of years now but I haven't reached the critical mass yet; where I can sit down and just code something up like this. Anyway, M-x-helm is pretty critical to my workflow; half forgotten (or gue

Yeah I’m surprised nobody mentioned emacs. The only thing missing is auto complete not just on command names but the descriptions also.
