> Truly understand your motivation Sad to say I've only recently come to this realization. It applies to pretty much anything, whether it's building a business or exercise or learn…

Agreed. This is my preferred setup, and over the years I've bought several of the MS ergonomic keyboards the GP mentioned. With the separate numpad you can position it just above t…

The sidebar link on the Minecraft wiki taught me about the extension "Indie Wiki Buddy," https://getindie.wiki/ which among other things prioritizes non-Fandom search results.

To me, it wasn't just moderating adult content, it was the way they went about it. They used an AI to review every existing post, which resulted in many false positives, and delete…

It seems weird to me that the article lists several gamified apps without mentioning advertising. It seems obvious to me that gamified apps like Duolingo are incentivesed to keep e…

Although I agree, most times where I mix any of these without parentheses I end up having to explain it either in code review or when somebody does a `git blame` a couple months la…

Agreed, with the caveat that you also need a policy/culture that the escape hatch should be avoided whenever possible and the low-code work should not be done by developers. Whenev…

This xkcd seems relevant also: https://xkcd.com/303/ One thing that jumps out at me is the assumption that compile time implies wasted time. The linked Martin Fowler article provid…

It's for this reason that I appreciate this article, even though it has a (playful, well-intentioned) negative tone toward Godot which is a project I donate to. This is wonderful c…

Back when I decided it was time to add a scripting language, Perl and Python seemed like the obvious choices, and in my mind were equally good options. I asked my best friend which…

This is how I met most of my current friends, as well. I was at a local bar one night on what turned out to be trivia night. There were a few of us who didn't know anybody well but…

Chromebooks that are a couple years old seem to run pretty cheap, especially refurbished. Installing Linux is simple enough, although some (all?) have non-standard key layouts whic…

I highly doubt the phone and PC markets will converge any time soon. Apple has made seemingly made the most progress toward this and it isn't hard to imagine someone plugging their…

Relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/2347 I was a little sad to read that Mills in fact lives in Delaware, not Nebraska. I always had a sneaking suspicion that this comic was NTP-relate…

As a fan of Lua, one complaint not mentioned in the article but that I think is relevant if you're starting to learn the language is that minor releases often contain breaking chan…

The friction in buying games these days is so low, I don't understand how this would result in more units shipped for any publisher that chooses to use this. If you're "pirating" a…

You obviously know this since you linked a Swift bindings project, but for others reading who may not be aware: Godot officially supports multiple languages ("GDScript, C#, VisualS…

I once had a "Lead Frontend Developer" who mostly did HTML and CSS (and was quite good at it) and could get by with jQuery to do various visual effects. We had a large contract to …

Yep, it sounds like a (semi?)unique structure is required for each target virus. > A specific combination of nucleotides is first modeled in simulation to be the correct size to ha…

I've tried a similar setup with a Novation Launchpad that I had bought to function as a sort of Stream Deck before this product existed (but without the little displays of course.)…

Thank you for the recommendation. I didn’t really understand why I should care about the game from videos/screenshots/marketing text, but after reading this description it was an i…

While I enjoyed what I've read of the series so far, I think it's a valid criticism that some books read more like a love letter from a fan than a history or notes from the develop…

A true classic, thanks for reminding me of this article. If I remember correctly, the "hacking manuals" section is what inspired my reading for much of middle school. I wonder how …

For anyone seeing the copyright claim and wondering what this was, it seems to be a BBC documentary called Can You Feel It - How Dance Music Conquered the World. https://www.imdb.c…
