Interesting to see this as I’ve never heard returning to adolescent interests being common but that’s exactly the path I followed after leaving tech. I tried getting into sound eng…

This is specifically allowed in the Linux kernel coding style guidelines as well FWIW: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.10/process/coding-style.h...

I made the jump to a System76 Adder WS laptop and pop!os for development after buying the lemon first gen MBP with the terrible keyboard. It was my seventh and possibly last MBP (i…

I’ve seen this referred to as “satisfying your inner Linnaeus“ and have spent way too much time in that weird place myself.

I’ve been thinking about bike vs scooter a lot lately too. Austin is overrun with scooters and I used them for a little while before finding the electric Uber Jump bikes. They seem…

I’ve used a chemex + quality grinder for a long time and haven’t found anything better so not much to add there. I’ve started experimenting with roasting at home, though, and am su…

https://auth0.com I've just started dabbling on a small project and would be interested to understand how features overlap and differences in license/distribution model.

I've always loved this idea. Fun fact: a blame-based suggested reviewers UI was included in the original Pull Request design mockups. We shipped with a much weaker list of everyone…

I'm as keen to see memory safe systems languages become commonplace as anyone but some 90% of our stack is C - Linux, MySQL, Git, MRI, nginx, haproxy, memcached, redis, and many ot…

"Unfortunately, your request for a 5% raise was rejected. We're sorry to see you go. Can you help hire a replacement? Just write up a quick job posting w/ your basic work experienc…

We thought the Downloads feature was doing more harm than good in its previous form. Quality-wise it just wasn't up to snuff (failed frequently, flash, lack of design). Bad experie…

We don't talk about unshipped features as a rule. It's hard to do so in a way that doesn't imply promises or timeframes.

Ouch. Sorry about that. Opening an issue now.

I'm looking into why those are showing up in the issues list. Likely a bug. The user has been marked as spammy for over a month, though, which means notifications (email or web) ar…

Your commits will count for the day they were committed once they're merged to master. i.e., It's the date on the commit that matters, not the date it's eventually pushed to master…

These buttons are only displayed for users who have installed those tools. We're not using it as advertisement, we're making it convenient for people who have already installed the…

We actually don't care about rate limits with this type of raw request. The limits are in place because people (usually porn sites) hot link js/css/image assets which can lead quic…

I couldn't agree more. There are also many practical issues that I rarely see touched on in these yay SOA articles, like: Scaling down for development. If you need to start N separ…

No. There's simple conventions for adding feature flags (user.some_feature_enabled?). Features are enabled and disabled by changing the code and deploying. This works because deplo…

Wow, really? Really sorry to hear that. Moving through trees is one of the fastest page level operations on the site as far as perceived performance. We'd like to make it faster bu…

I'm a developer at GitHub. This is a really good writeup and touches on many of the frontend issues we've had our eye on for a while. In fact, the related bits are already dated. W…

Yeah. I mean 4,517 seems like a big number to humans but meh. You're talking about a highly optimized parser. It's likely going to rip through those quotes in about the same time i…
