That's incredible! Does it work with any programming language?

I agree, and what's interesting about this technique is that you can guard against specific values instead of just types.

Any word on whether the purchasing company will continue to support existing Leap hardware/software at all, for those of us who own one? Leap Motion is great fun in maker circles.

Absolute dates are better for printing out on paper too.

Yeah I'm only just starting to absorb the background on this and that fact makes it even more fascinating!

Not being too familiar with Smart Contracts, it was nice to see the simple summary included. >A contract is a mutually agreeable arrangement of rules among mutually suspicious parties so they may cooperate with limited risks to each othe

I really like this style of "literate commits".

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you mean, but Ember.js has a concept called a "runloop" which batches different actions into queues, which does seem to help with rendering/reflows.

Svelte's philosophy on turning the virtual DOM concept inside out sounds like it has merit, and is very promising. But it's going to take a lot more than that, in my opinion, before a large number of people consider switching from

I tried it and only ran into a couple of issues: 1. I was using VCV Rack on Windows, but I think my friend was not, so you may need to tweak Git's line ending settings 2. Some changes you just don't want to merge. The other person

I think it makes a difference whether you're looking for ideas that will do well, vs just having an idea that you would go for as a pet project. I have one of those "just a pet project" ideas which I have been developing for

Since a lot of people here are technical, here's a fun tip: VCV Rack stores the rack as a (somewhat) human-readable JSON file. A couple of friends and I are experimenting with collaborating using Github and pull requests.

I like this! It's sort of like the piano rolls you see in DAW sequencers.

I've wondered the same thing. Guitar tablature is a more intuitive notation for me to understand than piano, by far, so I wonder if there is an alternative for piano that feels as simple. There are some[0], but not quite as radical as

Macros are expanded at compile-time, yes? If so, does that mean you can have obfuscation with zero runtime overhead?

So it works the same whether you have one or both eyes open? That's intriguing

I don't think there is an underlying principle of compilers and language design that strictly prevents that. Implementing a static type checker seems like more work on the language designer, but from the end user (programmer)'s pe

Orange safety classes (mine are called "computer glasses" but I suspect they are basically the same--they filter out blue light) can also help to prevent eye strain from extended computer screen time, and in my case at least, ocul

Everyone's different, but something that helps me is deliberately testing myself after reading a passage or chapter that taught me something I didn't already know. Literally take your eye gaze away from the page and try to recall,

Just tried CapRover this weekend for a hobby project and it was even easier to set up than Dokku. The NetData monitoring integration is great too, and just as painless to set up. For use cases where support plans and SLAs are not an issue (

Great, thank you! Do most people just follow the blog instead of checking the changelog?

Probably the longer I think about it the dumber and dumber things I will remember, but one that comes to mind is unintentionally configuring a test suite to use a live SMTP connection instead of a mock one. When the tests ran, thousands of

So it's a problem in ActionView, and fixed in 5.1.6.2...then why does the changelog for ActionView for 5.1.6.2 say "No changes"? https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/5-1-stable/actionview&#x

The section on "Minimize state in-flight" [1] has an example of an event with both an amount withdrawn and the new balance, and the author recommends sending only the amount instead. Wouldn't it be useful to send both, since

How is this possible? Honest question, I've never heard of this before.

I've had positive experiences with having my questions answered using chat widgets from Codeship, AppSignal, Intercom themselves (they are a chat widget provider), Datadog, Packet.net, and more. Maybe it's specific to the SaaS spa

This is a very useful tool and helped me understand Jump Point Search for a hobby project, which as it turns out is significantly faster than A* for certain use cases. Are there any path finding algorithms for orthogonal grids optimized for
