Custom furniture/cabinetry is already a pretty tough market, and woodworking is such a common programmer hobby that if a significant chunk of us decided to make a go of it the mark…

As I understand it, "to be trespassed" is a term of art that basically means "the cops were called, told that person was trespassing, the cops duly informed that person they are tr…

I also use pass. Any forge you feel like is fine (I use gitlab). I backup my gpg key with `gpg —export-owner-trust` and store that backup elsewhere. Pass has a pretty good ecosyste…

Not a blowout?

Stores, no, but there are meetups of keyboard nerds where people bring a bunch of them. There’s one in NYC run by a former coworker of mine: https://nyckeyboardmeetup.com/ . Schedu…

I'm with you, but I do think the situation can be characterized differently in a couple important ways: 1. IE was the default browser for many users (i.e. anybody using Windows who…

There is also a JS pkg with similar behavior: https://github.com/mattdiamond/fuckitjs

We’re in very nitpicky terminology weeds here (and I’m not the person you’re replying to), but my understanding is “commutative” is specifically about reordering operands of one bi…

If a therapist helped 99/100 patients but tacitly encouraged the 100th to commit suicide* they would still lose their license. * ignoring the case of ethical assisted suicide for r…

> Adding non-primitive props you get passed into your component to internal dependency arrays is rarely right, because this component has no control over the referential stability …

The “stolen” one is a 1991 model according to the article, so not that new (just kept in immaculate condition as the photos show, I was surprised when I saw it was a ‘91), and only…

I can think of multiple “corner stores” that are the only business within a single-family home residential area within a few minutes drive of the house I grew up in in suburban NY.…

Vlovich is describing the very last race only, where he did place the final bet. He takes her 4k and tells her he’s going to place the bet for her so how much she’ll win is a surpr…

Our Django app was still 1.x when I joined, I’ve gotten us up to 3.2 and hope to be on 4.0 in January. It looks like this was added in 4.1, so this’ll be a nice QOL improvement to …

I believe `makemigrations` builds up its conception of "what the schema is" from the `CreateModel`, `AddField`, `AlterField`, etc. ops in the migrations files. But it doesn't incor…

I prefer null as a clear “no value” marker to handle rather than special-casing handling of an empty string vs other strings, and if “empty string” isn’t considered valid that shou…
