Nothing stopping you using a private repo. I use Netlify to host and have it automatically deploy when I merge to main, but my repo is private. I write my drafts in a branch and me…

I've hit this exact same problem loading YAML in Ruby. Luckily caught it before it hit prod, but still, it made me go argh for a while.

Bugs make it to production no matter how careful you are. What matters is how you deal with incidents as an organisation, not that you should never release a bug.

Not Tmux, but one of my favourite things about iTerm2 is the search/copy functionality from the keyboard. I often find myself reaching for it, for example git log - see a commitish…

I only let my password manager fill in passwords. It’s less efficient for sure but my cc details are in muscle memory and filling out my name and address doesn’t really bother me t…

Someone already mentioned the official docs. They’re good. I also enjoyed https://jvns.ca/blog/2017/04/23/the-fish-shell-is-awesome/ which is a nice read though not a tutorial.

Pascal was the first language I learned. I don’t remember my ch of it but I always liked := for variable assignment

I think the hype works though. I don’t have a clubhouse account and I can sort of imagine the plethora of hustlers and the time I would waste if I did have an account. But like the…

I think they might. And we might be in a hacker news bubble with our wish to stay remote. Overwhelmingly the developers in my organisation are happy to work remote forever. Deliver…

The company still holds the power though. Your current contract is unlikely stipulate that you can work full time remote. I suspect that until there are enough options in the hirin…

How dreary to be somebody! How public like a frog...

The question is, do any of us actually need the flagship devices? The android phones I’ve bought for family members on the budget end of the spectrum seem to last just as long as t…

Maybe people lint their docs or README with something like vale.

Many people find working in a busy office overstimulating And filled with far too much activity and noise and it fills them with anxiety. In an ideal world, workplaces would strike…

One reason I can think of is, certainly early in the Ruby/rails days it was quite difficult to support/install ruby on Windows. Python was much easier to install and get going with…

I’ve tried this with my dad. The problem is, he never boots up the bum to have a go. He doesn’t really get how there can be more than one OS on his physical machine. So basically w…

The amount of time to develop a feature makes no difference if the client didn’t want to pay for the time it would take to develop it.

> assumes the student has already taken high school math and physics, including algebra, geometry, and pre-calculus Does anyone have good resources for someone who would like to br…

I switched from .NET to rails. agree with the other comments about rails tutorial. It is excellent but don’t forget the rails guides (guides.rubyonrails.org). If you already unders…

There’s also something to be said, from a recruitment point of view, to having everyone’s site look the same. It eliminates one bit of unconscious bias. In a way, it can help anony…

I think they tend to be anomalies. Mostly ICs don’t have as much power/authority/autonomy as people in managerial positions.

As someone pretty comfortable with got on the command line, what advantages would a GUI give me? I’m not trolling, it’s an honest question. Anyone with good got command line skills…

My child learned to read using phonics. We didn’t use this book though. At some point she asked us what the squiggly black “pictures” in her book were. Once she figured out that we…
