I nearly ran around on this. Barrelling towards it in my gaff cutter because my crew read the depth above chart datum as the depth below. Turned aside at the last minute when the w…

I've read a bunch of tutorials promoting env vars to avoid secrets being accidentally checked into git. Step 1 is usually to create a .env file and add it to your gitignore.

I made a 14ft oar to scull my sailing boat, a 9ton gaff cutter. Worked surprisingly well.

I feel that your last point is underappreciated. I enjoy my work more if I enjoy using my tools, and I enjoy using vim.

At a pinch, drilling a hole the external diameter of the plug cutter and clamping that to the board you are getting the plug out of can act as a guide so the plug cutter doesn’t sp…

A really fun feature of herbstluftwm that I’ve not seen replicated is that monitors are virtual and can be reconfigured on the fly, so you can have e.g. a monitor that is bigger th…

I mostly work with python and drop pdb into my code if I want to step through and see what’s going on. I run tests with the make command so I can use the quickfix list to skip betw…

> multi-file find/replace This is something I’ve found very easy in vim with bufdo , windo, or populating the quickfix list (or args list) and using cfdo/cdo or argdo to be really …

Too dangerous compared to what? Cars? If we replaced all the cars with bikes would you expect injuries/deaths to increase or decrease?

I find it mildly uncomfortable to hold shift while typing. And as there is a key for that purpose, which is in the same place on all keyboards, it seems more straightforward for me…

‘Cattle’ always seems to imply spreading your infrastructure across multiple cloud services, and having infrastructure management tools etc. I sometimes wonder whether we need anot…

For a business account, Metro bank has no monthly charge if your balance stays above £6000, and only charges for some types of transactions (none of which I've used in the 6 years …

I don’t think you can have the same desktop on both screens, but otherwise herbstluftwm allows this. Also monitors are virtual so you can have multiple virtual monitors on one phys…

> It’s unfathomable to think of a company having 3-4 woodworking teams each with different shops, tools, jigs etc. Not really, depending on the company. Building something complex,…

I don’t know why, but I love this and was delighted to find our local redwood.

Iirc you can edit the patch in git add -p. So fine editing is possible.

And it’s not just about the people’s preference. An office could be the google campus or it could be a crappy cubicle farm. Similarly, wfh could be a studio flat where your workspa…

You also get to write a nice detailed commit message for the merge commit explaining the purpose of the branch being merged, which may not be apparent from the individual commits. …

I agree, but there can be some exceptions. I got auto-rejected when applying for a law conversion course because of my A Level grades. I have a first class degree, a master’s degre…

> If the article said it’s only hard for moms, then I’d disagree with it... but it doesn’t. I took the authors claim that dads were less interested in spending time with their chil…

The data could also be misleading. You could look at the numbers of women in the workplace in the 50s and conclude that women generally aren’t interested in the world of work. But …

Indeed. I don’t think it really helps women in the workplace if we just go along with the assumption that men are more work focussed and women more family focussed.

I noted the article unquestioningly accepted the stereotype that men have less interest in spending time with their children than women. It strikes me that questioning this assumpt…

It is worth noting that responsive design is required for accessibility. The list of devices offered in the article omits, for example, ‘visually impaired users with zoom set to 40…

I suspect that one cause of this is the fact that these contracts need to be rendered for, which means stipulating the requirements at the beginning so bids can be produced. So a c…
