I've seasoned my cast iron pan many times. I don't think it ever beats teflon, though it gets to a point where things wash off of it pretty easy with just water and a chainmail rin…

I have to add Outer Wilds. Never been so wow'd by a space exploration game.

As others have mentioned, there are a ton of off-the-shelf solutions that would have been more than adequate for this. My question is, why didn't he go for any of the existing solu…

I'm not a business guy, but if Apple's going all-in on ARM processors, and then they expand into the server market (which the article speculates on), could we potentially see Apple…

I've been using Invision's Freehand tool [0] for whiteboarding in online meetings (also it's free). It's mostly worked about as well as a virtual whiteboard could be. It also allow…

The issue with that though is that if someone could read/write code, they would probably choose to be a SWE instead of a tech writer. I'm not sure why this is, but I suspect that i…

I chuckled at their README: > Q2: "Abscissa" is a hard name to remember! Got any tips? > A2: Imagine you're A-B testing a couple of scissors... with attitude.

FWIW, The ReasonML, Rust, and Elixir language all have active communities on Discord. It really is pretty good for the use case.

Coming from mostly a web programming background, it certainly feels more low-level than PHP/JavaScript, but not by much , at least for web/backend work. You can still code without …

There's actually already a library that does what the author is talking about: https://github.com/nrc/libhoare They call it "design by contract" rather than "deductive verification…

FFIV, VI, VII, Chrono Trigger, and Zelda (not JRPG I know) music routinely gets stuck in my head. EVERY DAY. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xsj5xjoLXtE

Firebug was awesome, then 2011 happened and Firebug’s lead dev joined the Google Chrome team to work on their dev tools [1]. [1] https://news.softpedia.com/news/Lead-Firebug-Develo…

That didn't happen under Steve though... that happened under Tim Cook.

Doubtful. It's less about verbatim translation of text from one language to another, and more about changing your product's design + data architecture to accomodate the possibility…
