We use seasoned cast iron for eggs with very few issues. We used to use butter which led to some sticking, however recently we've been using olive oil and it's much better, with li…

I think French people, especially younger ones, are much more open to the use of English than stereotypes suggest. My favorite example is the French name for the movie "The Hangove…

I got hired from a "Who's Hiring" post about 5 years ago and it's been an amazing experience. I've been able to work on interesting problems without having to deal with a bunch red…

> Is there a browser that has that feature yet? I spent a few hours trying to figure out if Firefox did. It did not appear to. I believe this will be supported by manifest v3 exten…

I used to have the same issue understanding the benefit. One simple example that helped it clicked for me was considering the `when` or `unless` macro. They're just very simple mac…

Reminds me of something I experienced on HN and Reddit, though my case was a far less significant level. I posted a comment on HN in response to some article about Emacs. Later tha…

Here's[1] the CSS I use on my blog to treat the table of contents differently depending on screen width. I'm probably also "unqualified to be touching" this stuff so take it with a…

You can navigate to files in Emacs using `find-file` (C-x C-f with standard key bindings). That should prompt you to enter a path, which, without any customization, should perform …
