Going snowboarding with the team if it’s a pow day.

I poke around in node_modules with some regularity (often in combination with the debugger) and it’s always nice to find actual source files, not just source maps.

Any recommendations for a pre-amp and DAC?

Roll 12 6-sided dice in turn, record the sequence. What are the chances that specific sequence should be rolled? Less than 1 in 2 billion. Anything remarkable about that? Clearly n…

Flights are within a geofence, overseen by flight crew who can take over remotely at any time. Still surprising no license is required.

The latter is roughly what we do on the project I work on: English string directly in the source, plus a human-readable identifier that helps translators understand the context of …

For anyone else wondering, Zildjian was founded in 1623 in Constantinople.

It doesn’t have to mean anything. Music is pure pleasure. Vibrations in the air that tickle our brains just so.

May I ask how you identified them as silicon bugs? And by silicon bugs do you mean random bit flips, or something else?

Looks really nice. One comment from a usability perspective: it would be nice if the center of rotation were a point on the trail, rather than a point somewhere underneath the land…

Very nice idea, and nicely implemented. One of those things that seems like it should already have existed, especially with how many headless CMSs there are out there, having a per…

One reason could be to enable novel fare systems, like London has with its Oyster network. You can travel around (scanning your contactless debit / credit card) without thinking ab…

If you start poking, you find those stories have more holes than a fishing net. Best to suspend disbelief. That said, I like your suggestions. There’s altogether too little introsp…

Can anyone else chip in with their post-acquisition Auth0 experiences? I’m genuinely concerned about its future. Been quite badly burned by another (totally unrelated) third-party …

At least it’s not ‘codes’. That one sets my teeth on edge.

It’s not going to be write-only for long: the Copilot Labs version of the VS Code extension introduces brushes, which (by analogy to Photoshop) can be used to retouch your code [1]…

To add to this: don’t touch your eyes when you’ve been in public places and touched unsanitary surfaces. Your eyes are a really easy path into the body for pathogens.

To save you a click: they’re not named in the article.

I have a suspicion you’re right about what ChatGPT could write about this scenario, but I wager we’re still a long way from an AI that could actually operationalize whatever sugges…

Cream and eggs really is the bee’s knees. I’m keen to try out Kenji’s method, but my approach yields pretty good results too, with perhaps less fuss (one pan, one fork, one spatula…

> Prion diseases are rare. About 300 cases are reported each year in the U.S. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseas... So, vanishingly rare. Enough to be an …
