    I recommend watching "The AI Paradox" which speaks to this notion that knowledge comes from figuring things out. https://youtu.be/dcolM6W5Odc?si=W-OL-ek5scYSvz2C

    FB Marketplace, but that's about it. Even that is a hot bed for people like bike thieves.

    Maybe there are more modern, advanced data structures / techniques, but yes, my understanding is that this is a common trade off (having your data structure be more static, with of…

    I also find Succinct Data Structures fascinating. I own Navarro's text book, and it's one of my favorite books to take to the coffee shop and try to understand. I also have a copy …

    One thing that helps me write is to picture someone I know who I'm talking to. This helps me to include the appropriate level of context, and it also impacts the "voice" I will use…

    Yeah, I probably should just get good at pour-over. The Moccamaster is great, but I have a pretty low bar coming from a MrCoffee.

    I would like to know if the plastic used in my Moccamaster is subject to these hazards. I bought it specifically because they claim to use food-grade quality plastic that is suppos…

    One other thing about Lael that I don't think the article mentioned is that on top of being an amazing ultra-endurance cyclist, she also has had to deal with lots of respiratory pr…

    I'd add that if you're going to use color, then you should do the appropriate checks for determining if STDOUT isatty

    Sadly, I have found this to be true for many things. Not dismissing any real, physical aspect, but there's always a psychological aspect that comes into play as well.

    Got distracted (in a good way) by this website. It's fun and inspiring.

    My view is that shell scripting feels like the wild-west, so I try to conform to POSIX to maintain some level of sanity, though it feels restrictive at times. I rely on ShellCheck …

    I didn't get the impression that this post was trying to compare vim to anything (which is refreshing). Seems like this is simply demonstrating how to use vim, given a few real-wor…

    I'm surprised at the number of commenters here that are blind, or commenters who work with someone who is blind. Maybe this is more common than I thought, and that's awesome. Goes …

    I am drawn to the idea of keeping todo lists, but it seems like whenever I start to do it, I begin to feel stressed out or overwhelmed. Not so much by the contents of the list, but…
