I got the lowest of the low MacBooks on a black friday deal years ago for my wife that only had 8GB, thinking the same way. "It'll be fine for her needs." It was more than fine. It…

I think it's deeply disadvantageous and legally dubious to accept code for which you don't know its provenance.

I can support your assertion here with experience. This is as earnest as it gets.

You can in theory turn off gc but in practice no one does this because nearly everything is written with the assumption that allocations will be cleaned up by the gc. The compiler …

Some of the best technical documentation I’ve ever written has straight up lies in it. Granted they were placed there in the service of distilling the most germane portions of the …

All you really need is one alias. alias homegit="git --work-tree=$HOME --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles.git"

If only your wish and your lack of care were some how related, perhaps in a problem, solution kind of format.

MHRD is also great in this genre. I’ve played it multiple times. I’m happy to hear there are more like it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/576030/MHRD/

I was a paying GitHub customer, but they had such a crummy private repo policy at the time (I think only 5 private repos were allowed) it forced me to make poor technical decisions…

I use this style. It’s been very helpful. It feels like a nice scannable breadcrumb compared to my old commit titles. I did have trouble sometimes remembering the categories. Was i…

Microsoft’s .NET languages and the CLR do this. You can even use IronScheme so you’ll have a Lisp with a ton of libraries.

It's essentially for efficiency but not merely; it would be impractical to do with partial spends. Transactions are immutable and spend all of their inputs because it's easier to t…

Unfortunately if you know English, the doors to truly learning AppleScript are forever closed to you.

How to Become a 10x Boring Developer

I like the concept of freedom as an American, but as a cotton farmer not so much.

It sucks that GUI scripting is dying on the vine on Mac, but it still sucked even when Apple was trying to support it with AppleScript. It was always kludgey. BeOS seems like the o…

My god. It's full of ugly.

It's just the time complexity sucks.
