Wow, this is wildly refreshing. Definitely more interesting and fun than any crud bullshit I do every day.

The stream was lagging almost as much as Tyson's fighting.

I use scholar.google.com and search for topics I am interested in. If you have access to IEEE or ACM publications then even better. Or I download books as pdfs and read those inste…

I am taking a crack (again) at creating vim bindings in Javascript for HTML textarea inputs.

Please don't make me write uppercase keywords. They make my eyes bleed and hurt my hands. Why not let the syntax highlighter do the heavy lifting for you? Dress your keywords with …

CTEs would be such a blessing. I am stuck using mysql 5.6. So many queries would just get simpler.

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. - Matthew 6:34, KJV

Downloaded it this morning on my work machine and it worked like a dream. Multiline mode and vim bindings were the chefs kiss that brought it all together.

I touch type between 60-70 wpm. When I practice using source code it drops to 30. However, the most important thing I have done for my editing speed is learning vim. Vim is a cheat…

It's honestly relieving to read all these stories because I feel like I am in the middle of this right now. Our legacy product is a mishmash of perl and php that was probably start…

This is the exact boat I am in. I always say the best thing about our codebase is the worst thing: junior developers can do whatever they want.

I have come across several projects recently that have captured my attention. In particular, each project takes well-established technology/research and leverages its functionality…

tmux + ssh multiplexing has been a big time saver for me. I have a single script that I run when I open my terminal and I have an entire dashboard to manage my dev environment. Now…

These get better every time I read them.

I love Oklahoma. Wholesome, hardworking people in a beautiful state. My favorite drive is through Sand Springs to Cleveland and Skiatook. You wind through Keystone Lake and the Ark…

I left the trades for programming. Your body can't maintain that type of work unless you stay fit. Then there is the risk of injuries which is inevitable. Working on concrete is ha…

I am in a similar boat. Starting a masters in cs in the fall. What resources are you using to study? I have neem doing some refreshing on Khan Academy but looking for other options…

Definitely one of my favorites. It helped me level up when I was learning Javascript but also helped me understand how to be a better programmer.

They really have thought of everything! I wonder what it would be like to work on a codebase for 20+ years. Richard Hipp must be dreaming in C by now. I have listened to several in…

Such a fun way to introduce cryptography. My mind was blown this summer when I took a discrete math course this summer. Using math to encrypt and decrypt data is elegant and pure.

What a cool way to capture your interests! A small library of links to come back to and cherish. This is what makes the web great. You can just stand up your website and share and …
