Lawnmower is gonna lawn mow

Im curious as to why they picked the commit cadence they did. Why do this over the course of two years and not, say 8 months or 15 months? After committing the first patch, why did…

When I worked at Qualcomm the inside joke was that Qualcomm is really a law firm that also employs several thousand engineers.

Thank you for the Disc Brick recommendation. A no bullshit brick-breaker type game was literally what I was looking for.

My favorite is Fark's word-changing filters and their unintended side effects. The no-no words are scanned across whitespace and reversed, and any hits get translated to the approv…

I paid ~$2k (with insurance) for 8 weeks of therapy, with one 45 minute session every weekday.

I have ADHD, major depression, and I did 8 weeks of TMS therapy last year. In the end it did help my depression some, but it isn't a night-and-day difference. It did, however, comp…

My only quibble with Zero to Production in Rust is that I assumed the title meant "this is a good book for someone who has zero knowledge of Rust". The Amazon page for it also says…

Incase anyone else was curious why this went to arbitration [0]: "Disputes relating top-level domain name names may be settled outside of court under the Uniform Domain Name Disput…

The way the original try/except was structured meant the close() for the socket would never get called, so py-amqp holds onto the reference indefinitely, preventing the garbage col…

To your point, even if the theoretical drive is feasible but limited to sub C speeds, a drive that requires zero propulsion mass and where the contents of the bubble don't feel any…

Given I don't have much experience with the Google ecosystem, how does one know which photos were accessed? (Not calling her account into question, just curious)

IIRC, ITER wont be fully operational until 2035, and will only ever be a research reactor. Even if it can produce net energy (I'm skeptical), it's cost and size are way up there. E…

Depending on how often you need to write, you could use a CI pipeline on a cron to collect your updates, add them to a the sqlite file and commit the changes.

This is really cool, and I can really relate to being in a rut. Thank you so much for sharing.

12 years on, does she still have reactions if she eats beef? Does she (or maybe did she) have any reactions to other mammal proteins (milk, pork, etc)?
