A lot of people will spend $30 at a coffee shop in a week. Maybe $150 in one month. I think $15 for a whole month of entertainment, tutorials, and useful content and to pay the peo…

It's not a directly mappable to a register-based microprocessor but it's directly mappable to a stack-based microprocessor. e.g. The PSC 1000 microprocessor (1994) could run Java d…

CSS has way more features today than 15 years ago but is easier to master in my opinion. Back then, CSS implementations had a lot more quirks and you had to keep all of this in you…

I couldn’t screenshot non-DRM videos on Windows XP either. It’s because the video is being rendered on a different framebuffer for performance reasons. Helpful for DRM too.

You’re way overthinking it. I go to a show. There’s maybe 50 people in a dark, dingy room. I want to support the band so I buy a shirt and a record from the merch table. Sometimes …

While it is, the same issue exists in Sublime, Vim, Emacs, Gedit, pico/nano[1], IntelliJ, Android Studio, Eclipse, and every editor. [1] https://threatpost.com/researchers-show-how…

Actually it goes the other way. Inflation erodes public debt [1][2]. It is, however, not necessarily good[3]. But at the end of the day, the causes of inflation are not cause and e…

At least in my area, we also don’t build new highways. We only widen existing ones. Right of way seems to be the biggest driver of cost and seems to be a major blocker for transpor…

Have been doing all my life and it has never backfired. It’s not about breaking rules. It’s that I already know what you want. If I buy you ice cream without asking you for the fla…

Force closing Google Maps on iOS also does it for me. Which means you cannot trust the My Maps feature if you are traveling anywhere with poor cell service. That’s how I know.

100% a generation thing. Been around long enough so I've written my own CSS framework, server-side framework, web browser, web server, sent bits over Ethernet, written assembler, p…

While it’s true we came close during Civil War, we still decided to keep the same system of government. In the end, while the Civil War did result in some constitutional crises, th…

Agree too. Just because you can get something to work doesn’t mean it’s supported. Using an Amazon S3 library on a non-Amazon service is “works but isn’t supported.” Stick to only …

I understand why some people vote for some parties and why they’re “voting on inflation” or “right to abortion” but I guess, for me, keeping checks and balances and democracy is th…

Look at AOL Instant Messenger in 1999 and this is how everyone in school wrote. Guess what… the people who used AIM in 1999 are now middle aged…

If someone has only used a handheld wood sander, they will be ecstatic when someone shows them a powered belt sander. But someone who has used a palm sander, orbital sander, belt s…

“Healthy” is meaningless. You should provide calorie counts and strive for nutritional balance. If I have a “healthy” 300 calorie salad before a 3 hour run, I will crash very hard.…
