Most developers have experience using GitHub. The UI and concepts are familiar. The friction for adopting features like Actions is relatively low.

I honestly can’t believe how poorly JetBrains has done. I used to love PyCharm but now it’s so far behind. I still use DataGrip but it is absolute dogshit when it comes to agentic …

It's called the nondelegation doctrine, which forbids one branch of government from authorizing another branch of government to exercise its functions. Because Article One vests "a…

About 10 years ago I remember seeing a number of posts saying "don't use int for ids!". Typically the reasons were things like "the id exposes the number of things in the database"…

also barely readable with dark mode

I wish devs would normalize their data rather than shove everything into a JSON(B) column, especially when there is a consistent schema across records. It's much harder to setup pr…

These types of books are always interesting to me because they tackle so many different things. They cover a range of topics at a high level (data manipulation, visualization, mach…

I never liked the global leaderboard since I was usually asleep when the puzzles were released. I likely never would have had a competitive time anyway.

With property graphs being adopting in the SQL standard, this isn’t surprising.

MoCA is how I get Ethernet upstairs. Works great.

Plants look very portable

I also mistook it to be about LoRa and not about LoRA

Indiana Dunes National Park is weird and only became a national park because Pence was VP.

This is good to know! I might use these in my basement remodel since I can easily install deeper boxes. A right angle connector cable would also solve the issue of the port directi…

The IKEA SJÖSS has ports on the front face rather than down or side.

I wish they'd discount their 35W dual port chargers or that I could find a similar 3rd party charger. My main criteria are (1) dual USB-C ports to charge multiple devices in one lo…

This is also explained as a genetic factor as chromosomal abnormalities and replication errors are more frequent although cumulative environmental exposures may also play a role.

Admittedly I haven't read the whole study. But how do they account for the confirmation bias in their review – the fact that null results typically aren't published. Studies that l…

It's important to note our understanding is far from complete. There may be more genes associated with autism than we currently know. So 30% of cases may have a known genetic facto…
