In case you're interested, word creation is a pretty interesting topic in linguistics. The wikipedia page on this -- they call it "conversion" [1] -- seems like a good starting off…

I'm sure this is going to increase the competition for these roles, but heads up that the `icims.com` links weren't working for me, so you may need to use https://careers.microsoft…

Aah, thanks for the clarification :) the top voted comments on this article now indicate that as well, so hopefully no one else will have the same confusion.

This looks like Azure Container Instances [1], but on GCP. Does that sound about right? [1]: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-ca/services/container-instanc...

There's a golang wrapper for libui written by the same author [1], if that's of interest. Same standard of documentation, though. [1]: https://github.com/andlabs/ui

Aah, makes. I'm not a huge fan of it for similar reasons, but the appeal of a language that's quick, dirty, and relatively acceptable by coworkers is strong.

Re. a recommended alternative to quick and dirty bash scripts, do you think golang would do? I've barely dabbled with the language, but its default packaging (a single, static bina…

Looks like you can set the cursor [1] property on some root element and it replaces the cursor with a custom image. [1]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/cursor

May I ask where you invested your time in learning Scala (e.g. reading the red book, studying type theory, syntax + stdlib + collections, etc.)? I found I could read simple Kotlin …

AFAIK, it's popular on Android because it provides e.g. Java 8 stream-like functionality without needing support for that baked into ART, which is something. Additionally, it suppo…

shrug I was just cracking wise, but maybe? I've had the stock market on my mind a lot recently, hence the bad joke.

Sway [1] is a tiling Wayland [2] compositor [3], in case anyone was lacking context. [1]: http://swaywm.org/ [2]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayland_(display_server_protoc... [3…

This [1] is the article they're citing. Note that a cursory search turns up similar claims from back in 2013; it might be worth waiting for someone with more experience and less bi…

To quote the page (emphasis is theirs): "COMPATIBILITY MacBook Google Chromebook Pixel MacBook Pro (2016) Dell XPS 13” So those devices work and everything else is a bonus, I guess…

Google's cache of the page [1] seems to work. [1]: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:wP7nTG...

Not sure if it bothered anyone else enough to look, but I tracked down the missing source for the header image [1]. The U.S. Declaration of Independence [2] is another nice example…

On the flip side, I lose coverage incredibly often with Freedom Mobile. Basements, but also random parts of ground-level buildings, are off-limits. To be fair, their coverage map d…

You might consider using Opera Mini [1] and turning off photos -- worked fine on a 100mb plan. [1]: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opera.mini...

They 'closed' the Google referer header loophole by switching to Facebook and Twitter headers. That is a shortened Twitter link, thus you see the full article.

Edit: You don't really need monads any more than you need classes, interfaces, functions, procedures (just use goto!), etc. they just help bring a bunch of seemingly disparate func…

My workplace uses a rubric for determining when a developer qualifies for a promotion (+raise), which seems very similar to this. I'm not sure why both spur an immediate sense of r…

shrug I wouldn't know, but as I understand it, people will sometimes spend a lot of money on hobbies. Also, I'd hope that most software developers don't need the best-of-the-best l…

Wikipedia says that Embedded Controllers [1] are microcontrollers (like an Arduino!) that control everything the OS doesn't. It looks like these slides describe how to program said…

Just pointing out that that's quite an amusing way to defeat spam bots, though I'd imagine some of the automated job scrapers will also miss your address :)
