It works for me, thanks!

I look at these while I'm daydreaming of building a cabin during work. https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/extension-aben/buildingplans/housing

Awesome, thanks for the links. I also tend to believe that it is a process over tooling question; you could even accomplish this with a text document and some checklists.

Hi HN, I'm curious what tools your team is using to maintain a database of requirements that are linked to test cases and test case results. I'm personally looking for something li…

When I gave up social media sites, I created a little site that has some blogs and sites that are interesting to look at, and my new tab page is set to that. Yahoo initially began …

I'll preface this by saying this is all anecdotal evidence based on my personal observations, so it may not apply to everyone. I often feel the same way, especially with tech. For …

How does Nix compare to Environment Modules: https://modules.sourceforge.net/ Am I correct in understanding they are similar, except Nix has the "pure" package building?

This reminds me of a technique I learned from this StackOverflow answer [1] that is about creating structs/records with TCL lists and dicts. It apparently comes from LISP philosoph…

I'm a new professor that was a devops engineer in the field until a year and a half ago. I understand that out in the field, we think professors are all just lazy out of touch acad…

My senior project in college was "Trombone Hero", which was a game based on guitar hero. I had an old trombone, and I took apart a cheap gamepad and put the sensors along a custom …

Frogatto and Friends is a good platformer not mentioned yet. Open source engine, not open source content. https://frogatto.com/

I'm a new computer science professor coming from "industry" (as the academics call it) and can confirm that cheating is rampant. I've also noticed that it is an arms race you'll ne…

No one has mentioned Linode yet, I had a good experience with them around 10 years ago, seems like they have more cloud product offerings now.

Makes sense. Maybe if you ask yourself why those with the existing infrastructure dont already have a version of your idea implemented, it can help you identify the important parts…

The conventional wisdom here is that ideas are sellable because they are uniquely executed in a way that is both practical, cost effective, and solves a real problem. Or, conversel…

What I always liked about SO jobs was it was tech centric, so you could filter on language or tool. It also seemed to have more "transparent" posts in terms of salary, benefits, an…

I had a Blackberry classic until a month ago when AT&T sent me a new phone in the mail with a letter saying they would deactivate my Blackberry automatically due to 5g. I hate my n…

I learned about it reading the quake 2 sourcecode. In school or tutorial articles, they always teach the first technique, I find. "Delta timing" is what I knew it as.

Was the documentary "Tapped" by chance? I saw that one around that same timeframe you mentioned and it inspired me to get a reusable bottle I still use to this day.

Seems like it fails the Occam's Razor test, but I guess it isn't impossible.

I've read this before, and while I agree that there are tropes, like the techbabble mentioned in the article as well as creating suspense with arbitrary timelines ("we have a routi…

Thanks for this tip, I need to do some updating.
