Also interesting is the Citigroup Center building in NYC that almost suffered a catastrophic failure after construction completed in 1977. > Due to material changes during construc…

I've been watching all of Modern Vintage Gamer's content for about 9 months now. This guy puts out some really nice videos with high production quality. There was a great video abo…

Taking a left turn here, but how is it "easy" to setup solar? At the minimum you'll need a master electrician to sign-off on your install and might be hard to find after-the-fact.

I have a Rock64 NAS box running an RK3328 chip.

Please forgive me, but how is this easier to use than make? I see a lot of these "reimplement tool X in language Y" projects, but what is the point if it's not actually solving the…

I wouldn't touch this considering how quickly Google shuts things down. Maybe if it's still available in 5 to 10 years.

Or just use pip-tools to automatically update dependency versions.

Unfortunately you have not provided a lot of examples to go along with your major complaints. I feel like at some level, every language will have its idiosyncrasies that create ann…

"If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it." I would suggest starting by gathering data to show you CEO where you think you can make improvements. Sometimes just applying a sta…

I think it would help if they placed more limits on how much one person can interact with the site at a time. If you are someone that sits on SO for 8 hours a day every day, then t…

Spot on regarding price comparisons between brands. The cost difference is really not significant over life of the device, and in historical context of computing power per $. I get…

Can we talk about how terrible the config/ordering experience for an X1 is compared to Apple? Why does Lenovo (and Dell) make it so difficult to actually buy an X1 without being a …

When did people stop using RSS? After Google Reader was available, I've never looked back.

One word. NIMBY

The commenters on that post are very narrow-minded and should not be downvoting and making pointless comments. That said, I think for SO you should word the question so that it can…

I usually create reminders from my desktop but I want to READ, DISMISS, SNOOZE and RESCHEDULE them on my phone. This led me to combine two usefull apps. 1) Remind Me Later ( https:…

pip-compile --upgrade pip-compile --upgrade-package are also necessary features to quickly track your dependencies (and transitive deps). pipenv uses pip-tools, but they haven't ex…
