Stackoverflow seems interesting as an inclusion of that level. I've always used SO as a "read-only" source, and generally when I need an answer to a question not on there I ask on …

This is absolutely my favorite programming rant, of all time. It gets me through the day. When management asks something nonsensical, or I'm forced to push a hack to prod to fix th…

Unless torch drives are taken into consideration, like a NSWR thruster or black hole engine. http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/torchships.php Sci-Fi for now, though.

You can do this with Selenium pretty easily, and low level webdrivers support it too.

You're right obviously, but a Matrioshka Brain would put out such a small amount of radiation, it'd be invisible for all sensor technology outside of, say, black hole lenses.

Music is helpful in other ways that might overpower any negative effect. In my case, music helps me out with my tinitus, without it I'm in a lot of pain. And unlike, say, white noi…

I've never used this pattern in Javascript, but it's somewhat common in Python because of how handy the dictionary.get() method is. A few problems TFA solves in JS are much easier …

Depending on usecase, the JSON lines format can make this into a pretty simple task! Obviously has to fit in with one's data structure though.

This is awesome!!! Amazing work.

You can currently purchase redwood seeds online to grow yourself! Plant them in peat moss in large groups to be sure they survive, as most seeds are not viable. Keep them warm unti…

The term is probably not great for reasons mentioned here, but the concept is nifty. It makes tricks like React pages rendering without javascript possible, and works with pretty m…

Was just wondering this! That is great news and thank you for posting this here. Maybe it can get mentioned in the FAQ too?

Can also add the Trello "pattern" approach. A white dots pattern means you can be photographed, stripes means no.

I understand this is a manifesto, but really the dialogue around Facebook and social media has truly become unhinged. Facebook is just a symptom, it seems What is there to be _done…

CSS positioning woes are brutal- until you have the knowledge from previous struggles. Full disclosure, I am artistic, but imo css is a different skillset. You'll have knowledge on…

All of it, honestly, if that's what you want. There's no hard and fast rules on what makes an experience worth living. If automating and outsourcing everything makes you happy, do …

This is hilarious and amazing, I love it.

Honestly, if WINE containers offer around 85-90% performance of Windows Native, I'm totally down. And that's currently the case. I have been playing a little bit of No Man's Sky th…

I was super into tiling window managers for awhile, but now I'm firmly in the floating camp. My local optimum was reached when I started using virtual desktops, one for each window…

I use inkscape at work in part of a large-ish application. We chose to use inkscape for part of an image generation toolkit because of the great command line options and the easy t…

Omg! That's absolutely exactly what I need for all my sites. Thank you!

I might be wrong but aren't these called spikes? I do exploratory coding in a similar way, usually with a repl next to my text editor, and this first single file version is usually…

I'm pretty sure you could use Firefox with Selenium Webdriver for that script! Fresh containers in between sessions to prevent leakage. Might make it if I have time soon.

This is awesome! I used to start my repos on Gitlab in private mode before publishing them publicly on Github. A huge time saver here!

It really does just mean idiomatic python. The word itself is almost a mash up of those two. And I don't see how that's a problem? Every language has a subculture around it, langua…
