The benefit of naming things to explain them is to obviate the need for jump-to-declaration. Yes, any time I need to know what 5*6 is, I can walk into the other room and get my calculator -- but if I have that knowledge in my head, I don&

I used Triplebyte as part of my last job search in 2017, but ended up taking a job not from them. I'd recommend them highly, if only for these two things: 1. You actually get feedback from their interview. In an interview at a company,

I really like the overlapping underline. Well, really I like the non-broken underline, which happens to overlap with descenders. If the underline indicating a link breaks, it looks like there are two adjacent links. To check if this is the

Weirdly, the reddit Android app sent me a push notification this morning suggesting I subscribe to r/AmItheAsshole. I've never seen a push notification from the reddit app before.

I added EditorConfig to a project recently, and was super disappointed with the scarcity of things I could actually configure. I thought there would be many, many config settings. But I was wrong -- there are only eight ( https://

I imagine the idea is not to necessarily make these kids completely comfortable with doing improv, but use some of the improv skills in their daily life. So if they're able to do improv in front of a class, giving a speech might not fe
