Lobste.rs frankly. More programming oriented, less ego boosting.

More likely, it can actually render all of Markdown, which allows HTML within. For that you at least need some kind of HTML renderer.

It is certainly interesting. If you want to check out some free alternative, that are pretty neat for longer writing, I really like Quoll Writer. It does have few more useful featu…

Give Sumatra a chance. At least under Windows. It requires a bit of love in terms of changing default color (e.g. single value in config file, from bright yellow to something toned…

It was my first though as well. Idea of aliens, which can just "skip" the sight of humans is pretty cool. The same goes with concept of consciousness as a parasitic/optional part o…

Surgical high-proof mask doctors and nurses use are pretty good against viruses, combined with googles of course. For normal person? They are mostly useless. Only for people, who a…

Everything old is new again it seems. Anyone used Maxthon Browser before? It was multiengine browser, which used both Webkit and Trident under the hood. It has that feature for age…

I mean, significant mental investment sound like typing "sunk cost fallacy" to me. The whole Urbit system could be described in terms of linked-lists and S-Expressions. Even langua…

He did the same after terrorist attacks in Paris.

No it is not. "Rak" is both cancer and crayfish in Polish.

I think as far as other languages are concerned, the best JSON handling gives youn Serde in Rust and F#, from what I read. If only C++ metaprogramming was easier without crazy comp…

That is way I really think Svelte3 can shake webdev a bit. It generates small, plenty fast builds by default with easy syntax. Currently it is missing a bit in terms of tooling, bu…

You buy ten more before hand and have all of them running side by side, to retake workload on any outage. Replace raspberry pi with any local server configuration.

Just open the docs. Seriously, first link in Google/DDG/Bing on topic of " safety" will explain it to you. I am self-taught and I can see it. Seriously, just looking at function ar…

Not native speaker here, but I think, he just meant that, most programmers and drivers thinks they are better in respective things then, they really are. It is just like letting pr…

As far as I don't like the "Angry Lisp Drunk Haskell" version of TS e.g. loads of ` ' mixed with functional concepts from half of the Haskell, which makes understanding code harder…

It is heavily researched topic. You would need some way to microdose water and nutrients into plants. Forestry is science. There are loads of smart people working in this area curr…

Large part of Europe already did it. USA is backwater it seems...

It is basically in progress by largest forest owner in Poland - state company to be exact. It is called Carbon Forest Sylviculture (Leśne Gospodarstwo Węglowe). Over all it is more…

I am a forester and maybe I can chime in. From the point of view of CO2 assimilation the clear-cut or even better cut in small parts over the years forests are much better than tho…

One game which for me is closest to Dwarf Fortress and which for me, tend to beat it in few areas ( graphics, while still being text only, structure of the world ) is Ultima Ratio …
