Libraries find their roots in academic institutions, a context in which they are absolutely intended to be a place of study, not just a repository of books.

I disagree... 1000s of tutorials explaining how to do things incorrectly just leads to thousands of crappy productions deployments. I’d rather say, “no tutorial? Ok, to the docs li…

Yeah it's definitely odd, and rationally makes zero sense as you've pointed out, but feelings are weird, especially feelings of nostalgia and tradition.

No opportunities for US based footie fans?

Does Discord have any remote software engineering opportunities, or is everything on-site?

Any idea how they did it? Stenography or just catting things together like this example?

Care to elaborate? Edit: Cuz steaming? lol

Bagel, lox, cucumber and cream cheese has become my new favorite thing lately (bonus points for a squeeze of lemon, capers or some red onion if those things are to be found). Howev…

I get the impression Go runs the microservice space. It's built for it and is incredibly fast despite the GC. I don't see Rust claiming that position anytime soon.

Why anyone would name anything "clippy" again is beyond me.

Or they're hiring them all so they all have conflicts of interest when the antitrust shit hits the fan and they end up in court.

Really? Interesting... can you elaborate/provide some reading? I'm a software engineer with a smidge of basic networking experience so not completely clueless, but definitely inexp…

Out of curiosity, why is an AJAX post of JSON with credentials embedded bad practice?

This is one of two honest answers to this question, thank you. (The other is "I'm old enough to have been using text email since before graphical email clients were a thing and don…

hehe my monitor is totally a reason I go into the office

should've used version control \s (truly sorry for your loss!)

Out of curiosity, what was the reason for the partial fast? And how did it affect you? +1 on the giant salad for minimal calories! If you don't use traditional, calorie packed dres…

> You’re lucky I wrote it. I read this, and was like "screw that, I'm not going to read it," and then was like, well let's see, and after reading, wish I had stuck with my initial …

I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and am coming to the conclusion that it's similar to dead-weight loss in a taxation scenario. As a society we've accepted the "lower eff…

That and economies of scale forcing the small farm's prices higher. I do wonder how often small farms hide price discrimination behind "economies of scale" though.

I was at ng-conf a couple weeks ago. Talking to the Firebase guy at their booth, he goes "You should talk to the RethinkDB guys, it's the same thing but open source." I got a kick …

Interesting! As an American I'd never heard that name for it. Usually it's called Collatz conjecture or the hailstone numbers in my experience. All those names and more are include…

Yes! Agile with a small 'a' is something I talk about at work too often. I don't want to be "Agile" but rather "agile" as in the definition of the word, "able to move quickly and e…
