    I'm all for "learning for the sake of learning", but the federal government doesn't need to subsidize it. Losing federal aid is not the same as not permitting colleges to run the p…

    > Save a vibe today and send an IM instead of an email thread. I would rather the email honestly. IMs usually have the expectation that I'm going to respond to you "soon", which is…

    Too much domain knowledge for an IDE to catch. I'm self taught as well, and it comes down to spending more time thinking about the code than writing the code. It's a fairly simple …

    This is a plague on both houses. People want stability and reliability, not drama. And what they're getting feels and awful lot like drama.

    This makes me _not_ want to get a Tesla, just to avoid the inconvenience of getting my car towed because of what it _might_ have inside of it. And the opposite, doing what Ring is …

    This seems to be a fancy App/API surrounding Stoplight's Spectral library ( https://docs.stoplight.io/docs/spectral/674b27b261c3c-overvi... ), which is heavily relied upon ( https:…

    I agree - they are exercising the principle of opportunity cost. While most parents probably would make more than the $700 / month, the value might simply not be worth it. I rememb…

    Was also looking for a color legend. I can generally understand the different colors/layers, but was initially confused. Text that explains exactly what each color refers to would …

    Being pro-Small Business doesn’t meant you have to be pro-Advertising. Facebook makes a killing taking money from small businesses through advertising, yet it is consistently one o…

    Many homes have wall hangings with scripture that the owner has never read in the bible. People quote literature they haven't read all over the place[1]. Implying its unique to the…

    In practice, it is far more common to see the Bible quoted as a small snippet meant to re-enforce some other point. Any seriously complex work is very often quoted/cited as a small…

    I find it impressive that the last recorded entry was in 2017. Over 3 years, and given the security-centric nature of the audience, I'd imagine if there were more flaws we'd see th…

    Fantastic. I was just telling the commentor before you that I do not have a military background. I'm glad you could weigh in. That makes complete sense.

    Comment #23375403

    That is absolutely a fair point. Speaking as someone who does not have military experience, I can't speak to it. But it would make sense that if you have the time to wait for them …

    My favorite part of this article is the reason for saying "SAY AGAIN" instead of "REPEAT". The word "REPEAT" should not be used in place of "SAY AGAIN", especially in the vicinity …

    Fortunately, Github is built on a distributed system that doesn't require us to stop coding just because we can't access a central server. Distributed systems for the win!

    I'd rather just have my life together for a couple centuries and not have the pressure of having to get it together later. Plus, can you imagine the compound interest? :)

    Everyone who uses Git is using the distributed features. It is not possible to use Git without the distributed features, because every time you do a commit or a merge or a push, yo…

    Because of how Git is a distributed model, hosting your project on Github shouldn't be a big deal. You could host your project privately and then just have Github mirror that priva…
