    I do as well and I also cherry pick a lot specifically with —no-commit to pull together disparate ideas from various sources. I am always fascinated when git usage comes up in thre…

    I can confirm it is not just you. I’ve had similar experiences in other subreddits. Eventually I just stopped trying because it’s super demoralizing trying to navigate the myriad o…

    IIRC the mascot is a lizard so here the comment is portraying a Zig enthusiast keen on promoting the ease of learning Zig as a lizard. That was my take.

    This is great advice. I also try to make incremental gains in projects as it is the one way I’ve experienced consistent progress. This includes things like learning handstands as a…

    Thanks for sharing this perspective. We have a 9yo and it's already the case some of her classmates have devices that are connected to social media. Very handy advice!

    Is it me or does this article seem “off”. The verbatim repetition of the thesis multiple times makes me think this wasn’t written by a person.

    I wish I could upvote more than once. Thanks for this perspective!

    Seconding Sublime Merge. I've been using it since it was launched and it has been a solid tool.

    I second this. I would include The Go Programming Language as well. I will buy any book the Kernighan has had a hand in writing.

    If for no other reason than simplified debugging I find there is value. Maybe I’m old but if you have more than one UUID involved in the debugging I’m more likely to trip up than j…

    Just seconding this as a sane way to use UUIDs IME. Basically the sequential integer PK is the “internal ID”. IIRC in SQLite regardless of type or existence of PK there is a privat…

    Seconding this recommendation. Bob (author) did such an amazing job of that book. I proudly display it in my office. The illustrations alone are worth the cost.

    I second your opinion that learning to write an interpreter is a great idea at some point in a career. It definitely helped me gain a new level of understanding and, well, confiden…

    I second this. It is amazing the level of thought that went into the game design.

    I agree on this approach. It's essentially the same strategy that was touted for scoring high on the LSAT back when I took. The key was being able to identify the solution strategy…

    I also struggle to find just the right light theme. I really enjoy the subtle colors in yours. Often I find accents and somtiemes primary color choices to be too intense against a …

    My memory isn’t what it used to be but I recall that the Bond Spacesuit character did have the ability to jump. I have the original cartridge and a somewhat functional N64. I’ll ri…

    Thanks for sharing! This is an awesome tool. I also like seeing it is written in Ada. I don’t often find open source tools I like to use written in Ada. Super well organized, too!

    We pay 180 USD a month for a phone line and DSL from Century Link. This connection is 1.5 mbps down and 500 kbps up in practice (advertised speeds are higher). Starlink has been a …

    I completely agree with the sentiment but also feel like it is just my bias because I enjoy writing compilers.

    I also have both and prefer the Moonlander. I like the adjustable thumb keys, integrated wrist supports, and smaller size compared to the Ez. That said, the Ez is a GREAT keyboard.…

    For sure there are alot of things missing like you mention. Another I find personally frustrating is so many libraries assume you are using the Material stack. RE: JSON--I have use…

    I would definitely recommend the author look at Flutter again now. The comment there was back in July. The desktop experience has greatly improved. I have been building out a deskt…
