Does he know that's why I'm coming in 5 minutes late? Maybe he just thinks I'm a slacker who doesn't want to get out of the bed in the morning. I think I'd rather try and explain t…

By left, I assume you mean left the job completely? As interesting as a story this is, is it really the only reason you chose to leave? Did you enjoy the work and did you try and n…

The new reader modes that browsers are adding let you kinda do this.

I recommend f.lux too. The only problems I've encountered with it are: - doesn't take into account wacky sun hours in nordic countries during winter, I get around this by setting m…

If you like BeOS, you should check out Haiku which is an open-source OS inspired by BeOS [0]. [0] https://www.haiku-os.org/

Might have something to do with the scrolling: the video at the top autoplays if it's visible and pauses if you scroll past it. If you've already paused it and you scroll past it m…

Probably because Github is hosting code they don't like (e.g. code used to bypass censorship).

As someone who thinks Lisp is pretty cool and uses Emacs to study it and is about 100 pages into SICP: I still don't get it. Common Lisp macros went entirely over my head too. A pr…

Funny I should see this. Just today I finished section 1-3-3 in the Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP) which dealt with continued fractions. I threw my answer…

If he knew he would have probably mentioned it.

I have to agree, the first thing I did was roll my eyes at the choice of name. "Screencoatening?"

>Emojis with skin tones, something every human can use, that have arrived before a character that only Bengalis use is taken as an "outright insult"? Who cares if emojis can be use…

This article strikes so many right notes for me and I can easily come up with even more examples of it in action, like systemd. I'm sure there exist valid criticisms but there's al…

>Logitech discontinued their best cable based mices, MX500 and MX518 too. The MX518 for me at least lives on as the G400s. I used to own an MX518 and got the G400s recently and it'…

>Just like I wouldn't listen to Usain Bolt if he were trying to teach me the biological mechanisms behind doping, I can't see why Stallman's opinion is considered so correct in the…

In my experience I cut out a lot of candy, sugars, and sweets from my diet at a very young age and haven't looked back, so I don't have that much experience with the "cravings" or …

>As an aside, the hilariously long user-agent string is perhaps the best evidence that string-based browser detection is something that web devs should avoid at all costs. It manag…

>distros ship with horrible defaults. I guess you haven't used Ubuntu lately, which ships with better fonts than my Windows machine.

Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer.

China?

I still prefer LibreOffice to cloud document editors because it has better support for writing in Finnish through plugins like Voikko (for proofreading and the like). I would assum…
