Writing maintainable, comprehensible code is truly the greatest challenge when creating software.

This is the definition of a gimmick. How is this superior to the various existing bluetooth-based solutions. Need to navigate without looking at a screen? Bluetooth headphones or a…

Particularly the question(s?) about list mutability. That is such a language specific property.

They also just released "Getting work done" for vim

And see here I was about to go and change all my passwords...

The TSA is just an expensive, time consuming infringement on civil liberties.

I honestly like the sites that block adblock. I only use adblock because it is so easy and has such massive benefits, but I still feel guilty than I am not supporting content creat…

Stuff like this often makes me question using any DRM or platform-locked services, particularly steam. If valve decided to make a shady decision there is very little that its users…

Isn't this already how much documentation is structured implicitly? For example if you have a technical article which references some concept there will likely be a link to another…

Ah yes the multitude of people who have lyft on one phone, and uber on another. And then of course they have their twitter phone, and their facebook phone and...

There will always be an audience for clickbait. There must be other factors at play.

An experiment? Hardly. At least certainly not any more. They use data to deliver their cancerous content, just in the same way coke uses AB flavor testing to determine what the mos…

After dicking around with the API for a while I found that that you can highlight/dim tabs using chrome.tabs.highlight running in a background script of an extension. Maybe I'll sp…

Well he commented that it was made with chromium, which I think probably sorts out the three issues that I mentioned. I would install it, but I am on my windows partition.

Serious props to you for making a web browser. That is legitimately impressive. However I feel like most people won't be willing to sacrifice the feature support, stability and sec…

I mean medium no worse than any other blogging platform. Who cares if there is crap content on there? The internet is a sea of crap. You just use your brain when reading to see if …
