The trick to this is to attach a handle to the back of it. I'm using one that telescopes from the "popsockets" brand (I'm unaffiliated and have no idea how it compares with other b…

Are there any guidelines for what exactly this would entail? My short term memory is falling off a cliff. What do I need to do to prevent that from getting worse? Are there any oth…

You can premove as many moves as you want in a lichess correspondence game. I feel like you can even premove to whatever depth you want, but it has been a while since I've played.

I think this Rust complaint is just inexperience. You wanted a Map , and that's exactly what you should have made. A String is a convenience wrapper for storing a &str on the heap,…

Lisp always sounds cool to me until someone starts talking about macros. What's it like inheriting a lisp code base, finding out its full of homemade macros like list comprehension…

You do realize that "vast selection of easy-to-use libraries" is the most important feature of a programming language. Right? It's up there with, "it's not hard to hire programmers…

Personally, I would love to ditch python for a language with strong types and type inference, but what is the replacement for django? Where do I find a well-designed, well-document…

I'm with you. Haskell's Yesod framework is pretty feature competitive with rails/django, but it doesn't have 1/10th of the community. I'd love to see Haskell gain wide popularity, …

I'm not as skeptical of prolotherapy. The idea is that it acts as an irritant which increases blood flow and other healing responses to that area. Tendons in particular are thought…

Find a newbie, stand behind them, and watch them struggle to use your program. Don't help them at all.

From a web dev perspective, I've heard a lot about React lately, so I learned it. I'm not saying it's bad, but I expected it to do a lot more.

Why did you do that, and what did you replace stock django with?

Would you be more specific as to why you prefer flask to django? I looked at flask, and the code for views doesn't look much different. It does look like it's missing form and mode…

As a working programmer that is curious about category theory, I feel like this misses the mark completely. I watched this yesterday, and this is what I remember: 1) I will tell yo…

Web development has the most innovation because it is the least entrenched. It is not hard to write a bare-bones web application that produces output that can be read on browsers e…

Is damaging the drum dangerous, or is it a profit scheme?

How does one find a good psychiatrist?

Lucky Charms has 110 calories per 3/4ths a cup. Honey Nut Cheerios has 110 calories per 3/4ths a cup. They both have 22g of carbs of which Lucky Charms has 10g of sugar while Cheer…

If I could take over as the CEO of Google on Monday, I would do it in a heart beat. Whether my skills fit the job is irrelevant. You're wrongly assuming that I expect to be great a…

This argument assumes we can trust the auctioneer to only increase our bids fairly instead of gaming the system to maximize their profit (or at least short term profit). I don't th…

I've been using Haskell for a few months now, and quicksort has become trivial to read. Although, I agree that knowledge of other programming languages barely transfers to Haskell.…

Your speculation is mostly right. Our brains are pretty good at automating repetitive tasks such as driving, so most drivers regularly don't pay complete attention. The trouble is …

Most people have difficulty with it initially, but it's not difficult to make it harder. Try doing all that while rotating one leg clockwise.

I hate to see products like these promoted because the creators are making bloodmoney. Cell phones are not dangerous because the driver was looking at his phone or playing with the…

Don't overthink it. Most likely, they said the same thing to all the candidates they didn't hire.
