While working on a commercial project, you typically have to write some code that isn't related directly to the core business. This code can be open sourced as a library.

That's great to hear. Thanks.

In the shared runner settings, I see this: "GitLab Runners do not offer secure isolation between projects that they do builds for. You are TRUSTING all GitLab users who can push co…

I remember taking AP Computer Science in high school and learning Pascal. Anyone else remember doing this? The AP Comp Sci exams were in Pascal until 1998.

Is there any reason why one can't be both a writer and engineer simultaneously?

I see, thanks. Makes sense. To be fair, it was misleading that the WSJ article said "Google is changing its search algorithm Tuesday to favor sites that look good on smartphones."

By hand meaning "pip install -r {file}" or more generally pip with any arguments typed directly at the command line. Automated meaning pip with any arguments run by another script.…

What would make more sense than blindly prioritizing mobile sites is this: 1) Desktop-friendly websites appear higher in the rankings for searches made from desktop computers 2) Mo…

I wish there was a way to tell which pip installs were done by humans vs. by automated tools. It would be interesting to track what people are doing by hand vs. what machines are d…

This survey was taken on CodeProject.com, a site which seems biased toward C#, C++, .NET, Java, and mobile devs. Perhaps it's just that sample of developers who skew toward INTJ, E…

I agree, the resulting images are beautiful. For some reason, it's surprisingly mesmerizing to drag the points around and see the colors change.

I like that tool very much, but it would be nice to see the generated CSS styles displayed separately from the HTML. By this, I mean generating the following individually: 1) the H…

That phrase is new to me. ikeboy, thanks for the tip.

I'd be interested to hear more stories like this about seeding sites successfully without appearing fake. I've seen a lot of startups seed their sites in ways that just look too ob…

wcaleb, this is great, thanks for both posts. It's also very inspiring to see your open notebook workflow and experiments.

Another huge reason to use plain text that he didn't mention is version control. With plain text, you can check the files into a git repo and diff any two commits. You then get all…

Fascinating. Curious what it would take to register, I found the Pyongyang Marathon signup form here: http://www.pyongyangmarathon.com Apparently they accept amateur runners and yo…

It's good that they're planning for their future storage needs to increase drastically. I suspect that 1.2 petabytes will seem like a gross underestimate in 2025, though :)
