To offer a contrasting viewpoint, I don't have openwrt as my router, but only have openwrt APs, because it's the best and cheapest way to have VLAN support in my APs, keeping iot a…

The "fire upon the deep" series describes zones where the speed of light differs, causing deserts from which escape is difficult, did to the slow speed at which ships must travel.

Chrome is also adding bizarre ux choices on mobile. The tipping point for me was nested tabs (tab groups) with no way to disable them. I've been a happy Android Firefox user since …

I also want to be able to tell _why_ which is why I dislike working on codebases that squash commmits. Too many times I've done a blame to see why a change was made, and it's a gia…

I don't know about this project, but I have used tmate.io (self hosted ssh server) for almost seven years for remote pairing, using vim inside of tmate. Compared to vscode: when sh…

That's really neat! Is the source of the path generator available anywhere?

I have not! Thank you!

I love svelte on the personal/toy projects I've tried it on, but does someone have an example of a large-ish svelte codebase with an example of a testing pattern that they've found…

Very true and likely, also considering how short the terms are, but emacs is in clear decline. Perhaps it's just become so easy to use, no one needs to search for anything anymore?…

As an aside, I added vim and vi to the trends, which dwarf the others, but show a long and slow decline for `vi`, but a fairly steady state for `vim`. As a vim user that at times w…

The difference being having a more positive/helpful/constructive mindset. With "how might it work" you're proposing solutions to the potential "why will it fail" problems rather th…

User Mode Linux was a very old library for running virtual machine guests: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/User-mode_Linux

Agreed. I bought a Samsung (UN40JU6700) 4k60p curved monitor for ~$800 and it works reasonably well. There are some quirks using a TV as a monitor and I was a little nervous about …

I think the point of the post is valid: it can be hard to work with a schemaless datastore. I think Cassandra is the only one you listed that supports type enforcements.

If you're interested in a websql-like API, take a look at lovefield: https://github.com/google/lovefield -- it's a very websql-like api and looks pretty good.

Keep at it! Part of the problem is designing, part of the problem is printing. If there's a reprap group or a makerspace nearby where there are people with experience, that would h…

I am, unlike the author, not a mechanical engineer. However, I've been able to teach myself enough about designing and printing in 3d to make household-useful items with my 3d prin…

I would imagine/hope that it's more about integration with other code than using it solely as a BGP daemon. The repo seems to be related to http://osrg.github.io/ryu/ which is a "s…

REMOTE or onsite in San Francisco, CA Denver CO, New York, NY -- node.js developer at Shutterstock, Inc. What follows is what I'm personally looking for on my team, but there are o…

Your "See jobs" link on www.helloglance.com leads back to the hero image at the top. I'm sure it's a work in progress, but hopefully that helps.

Running against a local mysql instance running on a ramdisk and emptying the DB tables between tests yields "fast enough" performance while avoiding test pollution: ~300 full-stack…

Maybe there's a nuance between "possibly unhandled" and "unhandled" ? I was bitten by bluebird quietly eating exceptions on at least one codebase. I fixed it by re-throwing them vi…

openscad ( http://www.openscad.org ) which is mentioned elsewhere in this thread is a much more direct descendant of POV-ray.
