I thought this might be an interesting read but was super put off to be greeted with a long screed moralizing over my choice of browser. I have 3 different browsers installed that …

Tools such as babel, webpack, esbuild, postcss, etc. are now considered a bit low-level, and usually do not need to be set up manually these days. Rather, one would opt for somethi…

Writing the GmailFS HOWTO, and fixing a bug in the process, was my first exposure to the power of OSS. Looking back, I'm pretty sure this is what led me to persue software engineer…

I setup a double entry bookkeeping solution for my LLC that uses Amazon QLDB as a block chain ledger. Not sure if this really counts, but it seemed like a good use case for the tec…

Haha, yup no problem. I saw someone do it once in a youtube video and was like WTH was even that!!?

CTRL+3 to bring up the command pallette. Cheers!

Hi Ted, for what it's worth, this is the first time I've heard of you all, and based on your responses here alone, you converted a sale away from Google Domains today. I look forwa…

TotalWar franchise works great in native Linux/Steam. I think I even got better performance than when I played the same (Shogun 2) in Windows on the same laptop. Kudos to CreativeA…

> on reading further on this, there seems to have been more outrage at the BBC reporting what was said, as they were asked to do, than at the near murder of the guy in an unprovoke…

I've been developing software professionally for a little over 12 years, and believe myself to be a fairly component. About a year ago I was flown in for an onsight interview for a…

FYI I would happily pay a modest yearly subscription fee to any service that would save as much time as yours potentially does. Keep up the great work!

Have you had a chance to check out the Screenplay Pattern at all? I have had great success using Cucumber to stitch together common abilities/actions/question types. My step defini…

This right here should be the headline selling point on Gemini existing as its own separate protocol segregated from standard HTTP. This thread is the first I've heard, and up unti…

Sorry to double post, but I'm amazed that I seem to be the only one here who knows of this gem. I mean, just look into the level of detail he puts into his writeup on the pathfindi…

I have gotten many years of enjoyment out of SC4 and the NAM Traffic Simulator [1] There is (or was, I suppose) a vibrant and diverse community of SC4 modders. Really cool stuff to…

> You don't want to start arguing that lacking a degree is not a big deal. True. What I usually do is point out the amount of hours it would take to get a PhD on average, and compa…

JWT tokens are irrevocable by design, or it would defeat the purpose. I would advise against issuing JWT token which are long-lived. Using "refresh tokens" are generally more prefe…

DevDocs is great for offline documentation, and is entirely a PWA. You just preload the doc sets you're interested while online, and they will always be there for you when you need…

Maybe it is because I can't seem to hold onto a device for more than a year or two before I lose it somewhere, but the idea of having all my important invoice data on a single devi…

Is cargo known for build problems? I've never used it before now and I took a shot in the dark with `sudo apt install cargo`, then `cargo install broot` went off without a hitch. I…

Not sure why the downvotes. Comradesmith's assessment of rot13 is absolutely correct. Clearly rot13 is more like PGP, in that you can recover the plain text from cypher text.

One day I was board in comp sci and decided to CD into drives a - z. Found a bunch of Novelle NetWare utils sitting on a hidden drive. One of them listed all the users on the syste…

I have a good friend who was diagnosed with schizophrenia before he graduated high school. It was very tragic to watch. Who was once such a bright and capable person, can no longer…

It can actually, although perhaps a little indirectly. Off the top of my head, the credit card balance is a direct I put to both the Debt to Income Ratio (small affect), and Percen…
