One of those niche, (presumably?) widely-unknown bugs that is actually extremely relevant to subcommunities of people who play the game - in particular, any decent Minecraft speedr…

Definitely seems to be getting worse, outside of AWS itself, more websites seem to be having sporadic or serious issues. Concerning considering how long the outage has been going.

So for me, extremely anecdotally, I host a few fairly low-importance things on a home server (which is just an old desktop computer left sitting under a desk with Ubuntu slapped on…

> “How's that going to work when ten years in the future you have no one that has learned anything,” Pretty obvious conclusion that I think anyone who's thought seriously about thi…

That would definitely make the most sense. It’s also hydro in Quebec (hydro-Québec).

This one (among others) does really fascinate me. Maybe it’s due to spending a lot of time around diverse groups of people but I’ve never really seen a huge distinction between the…

I always assumed we just called it hydro in BC because so much of the power comes from hydroelectric, but then I moved and it seems we call it hydro everywhere no master source..?

That's very fair - at least with third party software, it can be nigh impossible to track down a problem. With third party libraries, I've too-often found myself reading the code t…

Fixing everything is impractical, but I'd say a safer rule of thumb would be to at least understand small strangenesses/errors. In the case of things that are hard to fix - e.g. de…

I use a Cepstrum (bought a kit + switches + keycaps and put it together; there's no soldering required, so it's quite easy). I never 3D printed tenting, so it's not quite perfect f…

Your book is legendary and I have recommended it to a good number of students/programmers-in-learning. Haven't ever made it through (no matter how good the textbook, I'm still not …

You're correct, there are a bunch of different ticket options. Not sure about how it's actually implemented, though. Slightly tangential, but when I was in Montreal, I was blown aw…

This is a super interesting anecdote, considering the name definitely confused me at the time - trying to learn web development with no context I did indeed think it was some kind …

Couldn't agree more. Learning bad things - not that TDD is bad, or anything, but over committing to it might be - is a huge part of understanding why certain approaches are better …

Yep, they've had that feature for quite a while, too. I've always had the impression that - although obviously there is pressure within the company to monetize - they seem to have …

My memory is really bad for this kind of thing, sorry. I think some of Keigo Higashino's recent translated works have this kind of physicality in their mysteries, but I'd have to r…

> I'm thinking: construct a visual scene, object A is on top of object B, etc., and then ask a question that would be obvious to someone actually seeing the scene, but very difficu…

> I wouldn’t be surprised if 99% of the discourse here is just miscommunication on what “picturing something in your head” means and 99% of people who think they are different are …

Conversations around this kind of thing are so fascinating to me, because they seem to present this fundamental breakdown in human communication - how impossible it is to convey wh…

This definitely isn't my experience, but I work in C++, where having a second eye to look over things is... valuable. That said, I think culture for this kind of thing varies wildl…

I _kind of_ understand in the sense that - it can feel bad/like wasted time to do code review when you don't leave a single comment. But of course, it's very very important to igno…

You're correct, it's a configurable feature (not paid, it's been openly available for 1-2 years). Discord also supports forums, but most server owners disable one or both as they c…

Same issue, I now lie on my couch and rest it on semi-folded legs to alleviate the weight. Works a lot better, but not as great for action games in my opinion.

I haven't used the OP's application, but I've used a variety of other WYSIWYG markdown editors. It's true that WYSIWYG is kind of pointless for READMEs or what have you, but for wr…
