I think it’s also think it’s interesting to consider from the perspective of side-channel attacks/information leaks. For the most part, I think text notes are well just text. But I…

For a while, I was using PC-BASIC to generate audio files for the IBM PCjr cassette interface to do some more diagnostics, for a machine that I had that didn’t have a working disk …

I’d take it one step further: if `git log`—a hierarchical view of the connection of commits—is the only way you (and your team) interact with commit messages, then yea it’s probabl…

This is the epitome of the sentiment: those interested in the pursuit of “hard truths” are only extrinsically motivated to find fault in others and gleefully “correct” another’s “f…

Legit question: who, exactly, classifies as “the insane” in this statement?

For the latter I use often use `git stash` for that; stashing off the test case/data, then at each step of the bisect, you can do `git stash apply` (rather than `git stash pop`) to…

Something that took me an embarrassing long time to realize was that North American electrical outlet binding terminals are a combination slotted/Robertson screw head. The Robertso…

If I pay for grammarly, and it plagiarizes an existing work but represents it as an entirely new, independent work and I am unaware of the existing work that is being stolen, who i…

When, exactly, was this period of unbiased/opinion-free event coverage in UK journalism you apparently long for? You rail against “modern journalism” like it’s some kind of recent …

Just wanted to also drop a recommendation for soulver, but I have been split between it and Calca ( http://calca.io/ ) which I think is _also_ worth checking out, if you like this …

QB64: https://www.qb64.org/portal/ And Color Maximite 1/2: http://geoffg.net/maximite.html Are two interesting takes on modern BASIC

git bisect and got blame are underrated tools, that in my opinion get lost in the conversation about should-you-squash-or-not. They really have diminishing returns when you start s…

This one is interesting, because if I recall correctly, if you are using the single symbol they more or less mean the same thing. You can do ~~~ or ^^^ and get to the same spot The…

for people who haven’t gone to a top-tier college/university for computer science—especially self-taught developers—I would say that the corollary advice is also true: Don’t just b…

I thought for a second this was a post on Mirth Connect and I had flashbacks to doing hl7 integrations. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirth_Connect

I have no connection or affiliation with this product, but I enjoy a good ASCII/Unicode chart in code—a picture is worth a 1k words—and I've been leaning on https://monodraw.helfto…

I'm glad to see other people working on this kind of stuff. The old Descent games had a related—although more primitive—rendering engine that could be (ab)used to similar effect th…

I would also like to add x-com on Ironman. Losing a soldier because you got sloppy and arrogant; putting them in an indefensible position and watching them get slaughtered. Do that…

I agree with what you are saying, in regards to a healthy relationship… But, I'm nearly positive that's not the message that is being conveyed by the artist/photographer in this im…

I guess what I'm trying to say is which is more depressing or sad: a couple ignoring each other, or a guy watching a couple ignore each other, or even, if I were to turn the lens o…

I get, and appreciate, where I feel the artist is going with this: a reflection on the loneliness epidemic and our relationship to technology. BUT I think one layer of meta out is …
