I had a disc injury about two years ago, so this is fresh for me. I've always been pretty active and consider myself to be in really good shape, but I started running longer distan…

I use it only for cooking, but for cooking I absolutely love it. It generates surprisingly good recipes, and I don't have to read a 5000 word story on how someone found and fell in…

Looks like the study was performed on a liquid, so I guess definitely don't microwave soup. Wonder if the effect is the same with a food that doesn't have as much contact with the …

Yep, I've updated GitHub pages sites from my phone with the editor many times. Not ideal, but works in a pinch.

Absolutely! I have a Litespeed T1SL, and I'm very happy with it. I've heard great things about Moots bikes as well, but they're about twice the price and they don't make a rim brak…

I ride a titanium bike with rim brakes. It was custom made, and relatively expensive ($5,000 USD), but it is the only bike I ride, and it will last my entire lifetime, and more (it…

I was thinking the same thing. The repetition of the variations of the phrase "the creator economy...upper echelon of..." are painfully redundant.

https://oopsallmarquees.com for obvious reasons :)

That's a shame. I've landed two jobs on SO jobs and in my opinion it was extra motivation for maintaining a SO profile and being active in the community - a real one-stop-shop. Sad…

Atheist here. Yoga, running, and hiking do the trick for me.

I'm a cigar smoker as well and I think it's unfortunate that cigars are often lumped in with other tobacco products.

There has only been one UI change since Snow Leopard that I would consider to be an improvement, and that is the option to enable dark mode. Big Sur reminds me of Duplo Legos.

I did this with a ~2011 MacBook Air that came with a 60G hard drive. A couple of years ago I went to upgrade OSX and it turned out I didn't have enough disk space, even with minima…

Bingo. I'm not sure that her rendition of the Star Spangled Banner was taken into consideration by this site.

I don't understand how that's 'ethnically' wrong. Yes, all of FAANG companies are like this. In order to work for these companies you have to become comfortable with the idea of be…

So is it wrong to use a master branch now? If so, it'll be interesting to see how Git(*) responds to this.

I've seen job links in HTML comments, too. Imgur used to do it. They may still do it, but I'm too lazy to check :)

I've learned that small businesses generally have high expectations for relatively small amounts of money. As a result, I stopped doing freelance work unless there is a lot of mone…

Whether or not programming salaries will go up or down in the next x years is anyone's guess. Everyone should plan for lower pay, regardless of what their profession is. If you get…

Personally,PostgreSQL. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, but my standard arguments in favor of Postgres are that it: 1. Enforces data types natively. I've shot myself i…

I do the same. For me it's as simple as installing ~5 homebrew packages (I can get the same packages for my Linux machines), the Opera browser, and a copy of .bash_profile and .vim…

Gatsby + Github pages
