They don't support port forwarding anymore though.

I love Vim and use Vim bindings everywhere I can (Emacs, Firefox, Intellij etc.). But I don't think it is actually more efficient than traditional editing, but rather just a differ…

Not sure if those are the same though? Async, await, iterators, futures etc. are pretty much standard constructs in almost all programming languages / concurrency frameworks. Where…

Could you please share what other learning materials you used?

Gene Wolfe. The whole Solar Cycle (The Book of the New Sun, Urth of The New Sun, The Book of The Long Sun, The Book of The Short Sun), Fifth Head of Cerberus, Peace, There Are Door…

Really? I have the opposite experience. I _want_ to love CL but Clojure wins when it comes to IDE support and libs and documentation. Maybe it's just me but I find (SB)CL tooling t…

How did this pass code review though?

Same popups for all apps (at least for me).

Because principle of least surprise is a good thing for almost any application?

How come SIP didn't catch it? Is Chrome asking for a root access during installation?

Where can I find a manual on how to uninstall Keystone, Chrome etc. on Mac properly? Has anyone done it?

Yep, gravity is 39 orders of magnitude weaker than electromagnetic force. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchy_problem

I was always wondering about MWI and couldn't find the answer to one question. AFAIK Everett never mentioned Many Worlds in his paper. What he was talking about was a Universal Wav…

But mass decreases which implies that event horizon shrinks, right? Also, I thought never-increasing entropy was only applicable to closed systems. In that sense, when particles le…

> Stephen Hawking proved that the area of a black hole’s event horizon — the surface that marks its boundary — cannot decrease. I thought he proved the opposite: that black holes (…

Not OP, but I am currently on Reaper's Gale. Malazan quickly became my favourite book series (and I am not even a fan of fantasy). It was hard initially. But it gets better. Howeve…

Why no coffee?

Isn't it like a standard practice? Hire an expensive professional first that will do all the heavy-lifting, then outsource bugfixing and maintenance somewhere else where it is chea…

My guess: it is all about culture. I guess asian people are more likely to choose 8 (lucky number) and avoid 4 (unlucky number).

Yes. Nowadays it is mostly about tools/frameworks. You don't even need to master the programming language that you are using. I work mainly with Java stack and see so many devs wit…

My wife and I are doing IF (OMAD - One Meal A Day). And obviously don't eat junk food, sugar etc. For me the biggest surprise was how little food we actually need. I remember mysel…

`tokenize` function looks weird. Why use replace and then split? How would you extend this to stirngs (which might contain "()" chars)? It might be OK in a toy example, but it woul…

In the 'Glimpse of Muon' example, how does the Map::getOrDefault() function work? Shouldn't it accept 2 args: a key and a default value (if the value associated with the given key …

Agree. People often 'mispronounce' my first name (can't even pronounce last name). Honestly, I don't care. I don't blame them because they pronounce it from English point of view w…
