Whoa, this post is actually really inspiring! It gives me a better understanding for why Echo Chess has more replayability than other lil' games I've toyed with. It makes me want t…

All these comments saying merely "S3 has no concept of directories" without an explanation (or at least a link to an explanation) are pretty unhelpful, IMO. I dismissed your commen…

This is great! It's definitely more Rubik's than crossword, though. Those Rubik's tricks are coming in handy.

> Squashing makes the diffs much more painful, such as by burying an important change in a sea of mechanical ones when they were originally in separate commits. Can you give an exa…

Regarding Python: Really? Obviously v2-to-v3 was an absolute fiasco, but since then, it's been great in my personal experience. Don't get me wrong: Python hasn't overcome its tooli…

> So many companies no longer pay dividends. So many classes of stock are now non-voting shares. This seems normal to me. (I'm in my late 30s) Dividends aside, you're saying you us…

> What else would you do? Play video games, watch tv, “party”? Sorry, but this is such a sad statement to me. I mean, unless you absolutely love the field you work in, in which cas…

DFM? Google searches for it aren't turning up anything relevant.

Err, what? You're not aware that we're destroying the planet? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocene_extinction

Maybe you're really good at working with uncertainty? This article focuses on the number of new things overwhelming our working memory, but I'd argue another big problem is the dif…

Love it! I refer to these kinds of puzzles as "state mazes", but maybe that's not quite the right term. Many variations are explored in "logic maze" books like Mad Mazes ( https://…

I agree, but it can also be true that there are so many things wrong with the points being made that it's hard to construct a response.

Nice! I was having fun with it, but then I got to "divide the segment in half". It's super easy, but it's too zoomed in for me to click on the snaps I want, and I can't find a way …

[Original comment removed by author 'cuz it's now moot] Edit: My bad, I missed a legit link in parent comment. That said, that link should have been front & center. (Edit 2: it now…

That's certainly important, but again, there's just so many pieces to cooking that experienced cooks don't even think about anymore, but are still uncertain & awkward to noobs. Btw…

I think the language analogy is apt. Your statement that "cooking isn't that hard!" is similar to someone who speaks English fluently saying English isn't that hard. I fully defend…

No? I'm clearly the prime demographic for this app because your comment makes no sense to me. Most recipe videos skip the tedious (but important) bits, and many ALSO don't give not…

100%! My company ineptly stumbled into a scenario like this, so to speak, and the result was as you described. After witnessing how that played out, I would expect a similar outcom…

Is this the equivalent of Poetry's `poetry show --tree`?

I like what you tried to do here, but then you got to #3. It's bizarre to me that you feel this process of Apple's constitutes "no artificial obstacles". Phone & laptop batteries u…

I'm still pretty new to dev, but what's wrong with ORMs? And, importantly, what would you recommend instead?

I'm glad to see I'm not the only internet user who wonders "will this fail?" to the point that they try the problematic action before their original, intended action. It's this kin…

Whoa, this channel looks great! Thanks so much for the rec!

If you're using Duolingo, make sure to do all the stories! They are much more conversational than the lessons.

Not sure where you're coming from here, but this 1-sentence comment sounds like something a serial killer would say. If someone murders your dog, no big deal to you? And sure, this…
