    > Thing is, it's not even "too much theory". I would agree with you. I feel like watching videos where someone goes "hey, so here's this pattern that completely unlocks the neck fo…

    This is why learning guitar when I was younger was so difficult to me; people just presented things like "you have to learn these 5 scale patterns" but they didn't really go into w…

    Maybe a bit of a stretch as a game, but Townscaper is absolutely gorgeous: https://oskarstalberg.com/Townscaper/

    Yeah, it was happening on Super Mario Kart. I just tried Super Mario RPG and didn't have any issues. Let me know if I can get you more info or help with a repro.

    This looks super awesome! I just tried it in Chrome however, and after a minute of playing the game it just drops me back to the game library screen. Love the idea though!

    This. Interviewing is a COMPLETELY different game in the tech industry. Some people spend a lot of time and are very good at this game. Also my naïve impression is that the market …

    I think Dell has pretty good support for this, I had a pretty old Dell model before my current monitor and ddc worked fine with it. I now have an AORUS FO48U and it also supports i…

    Yeah, this. I don't have any data to support this, but when I was in school, MOST people didn't have close to full-time jobs. I had a job where I probably worked 10 hours during th…

    Well good luck then, in my experience the most free time I've ever had in my life was during college. I squandered massive amounts of that time doing things completely unrelated to…

    This is pretty much exactly what I do now, but since I'm unfamiliar with the codebase I often find myself thinking "where was that spot where this particular data came from?" or "w…

    I just discovered this feature so I haven't played with it enough yet but it seems to tick all my boxes. One thing that I found confusing about the UX though was that I didn't real…

    Ha, that's kind of where I'm leaning now, I thought of the same thing in another response in this thread. It seems like it's lightweight enough to stay out of my way but flexible e…

    Yeah, I also don't really like splits, they just don't feel very scalable. If I just need to open one or two other files they're fine temporarily, but more than that and everything…

    I use these as well, but maybe something I didn't articulate well is that it's often useful to remember where I've been. One thing that I haven't played with in VS Code but that bi…

    Ask HN: How Do You Navigate Code?

    I've been working in a new codebase recently, and I've been struggling to navigate code. I don't think this code is organized particularly poorly, but I still find myself jumping a…

    I definitely remember Hotline! Got me into trouble in college...a friend and I opened up Hotline servers on our machines and threw a piece of software on there (probably a cracked …

    So just today I was wondering if there was a cli tool (or maybe a clever use of existing tools...) that could watch the output of one command for a certain string, parse bits of th…

    So, maybe? But these products already exist. Your company doesn't need to pay Microsoft to get that data, they can install stuff on your work machine and get all that info right no…

    I've had similar really good experiences, but it's probably just luck. The last place I went to they used https://pos.toasttab.com/ . It was quick, easy, everyone at the table was …

    This is admittedly nit-picky, but you're not managing 60k DOM nodes if you're using a virtual list, that's the whole point of virtualization. You might have 60k items in your list …
