Sorry but no! On my corner of the world it's not allowed but more importantly it's dangerous. When riding your bike you must have all your senses fully engaged. First day I got on …

Im not a big fan of Windows but copy pasting a file across 3 nested RDP sessions feels magical every time

I would assume it's grating for anybody to hear their mother tongue butchered. More so when both sides know they could just switch English and have an adult conversation instead of…

If it’s good enough it’s good enough, but just like there are many more options than going full blown LLM or just use a regex there are more options than transpile a massive Python…

Kids will randomly run into the road. They might run behind a ball or a dog so that it doesn’t end up on the other side or runned over or are simply too excited to remember your st…

The last and most important slide is missing. "Ignore all the advise above and do the right thing Subtext: This will take multiple lifetimes to accomplish" This is particularly imp…

That’s true! Sorry for not mentioning that.

This is great. If you enjoyed it you should check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IEGmD_aV3w . Next to that it’s child’s play. That’s a whole trasatlantic’s engine room from scrat…

They might have been using the fast multipole expansion method

I'm not a go developer and this kind of thing is far from my area of expertise. Do you mind giving some examples? As far as I can tell skimming the code, and as I said, without kno…

This is the stuff nightmares are made of. We already live in a you have nothing to hide society. Now imagine one where mega corps and the government have access to every thought yo…

Even better is to try to fetch all the env variables and then report on all of the missing ones.

Another good one is pgqueuer https://github.com/janbjorge/pgqueuer

I read this and of course couldn't believe it. Isn't 14.7B enough to be considered extremely rich these days[1]? In the the Forbes real-time billionaires list is quite easy to find…

At my current employer, Kuva Space, I'm among other things responsible for the commisioning and in orbit calibration of the payload. The Moon is a major calibration target for us, …

The Moon also plays currently a very special role in my life and my work days are dictated to a large extent by the current Moon phase :) It's not discussed in the article but we h…

This is not what I meant. What is being proved is: a^2-b^2 - (a+b)(a-b) = 0. If you swap a and b you end up with a sign switch on the lhs which is inconsequential.

Just rename a to b and b to a.

That's a gross underestimation. At current world population levels that comes out to be 8000 people. The QMK github repo alone has over 18k stars and almost 40k forks. So yeah very…

> is that you can swipe left and right on the space bar to quickly and accurately scroll left and right in a text field. I find this about as fast as tapping at a position in a tex…

You can flash your own firmware which you can inspect. QMK and ZMK are two very popular options.

Great example of a corporate blog! My immediate reaction is I want to work in this team.

Editors can highlight SQL queries embedded as strings. Neovim can do it, and I'm pretty confident it's not going to be alone in that respect. edit: Not the editor I use but thought…

Here is one piece of knowledge earned the hard way. Do not use the official python GDAL bindings (`pip install GDAL`) unless you really must. Go with rasterio and don't look back.

Famous guitarists mostly only play specific expensive brands because they are endorsed by them. Any professional musician can make the cheapest of instruments sound really good. Ma…
