Cities on the water make fun shapes for obvious reasons. Atlantic City, Seattle, Chicago, Galveston, New Orleans. The slices can go very far or even be omitted due to not hitting t…

> I'm sure the record standing so long is partially down to the fact the mile isn't run at major championships I'm not so sure about that. The 1500 is the equivalent race run at ma…

I'd add rms/Richard Stallman to that list of famous emacs users. He's famous for way more than just gnu emacs, so it's not quite cheating.

Many OSS licenses are also free software licenses, even if they are not viral and don't impose severe restrictions on the licensee in the way the GPL does. The MIT license, for exa…

Longer than that, even. A similar requirement for iOS apps was in the cards 10 years ago . https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=12212016b (Yes, this article is about an extension o…

Truer than you'd think just from the information I provided. He has two world championship silver medals over 10,000m.

What does 'harder to recruit' mean though?

It's his first marathon ever, but he's a very experienced runner. It would be hard to find a better prospect for a good first marathon. He's a multiple (former) world record holder…

I've read that even if you absorb it all, there's some question about whether it's useful. This Alex Hutchinson article suggests, among other things, that it may spare your fat sto…

That would not fit as well.

What is wrong in that quoted sentence? Do you mean "articulacy" should instead be "articulateness"? "Articulacy" is also a word, and correct in this context.

These days node supports the fetch API, which is much simpler. (It wasn't there in 2020, it seems to have been added around 2022-2023.)

But there are no citations on any of the edits claiming this, and there were two incompatible dates claimed (March 5, March 8).

[4] looks like it's only a runner for the actual testing, which is a separate crate: https://github.com/mozilla/memtest (see: https://github.com/mozilla-firefox/firefox/blob/main/t…

Regarding the noise you mention, I wonder if memento's use of the git 'notes' feature is an acceptable way to contain or quarantine that noise. It might still not add much value, b…

One nice way to do things, if you can get away with it, is to model the actions your application takes explicitly, and pass them to a central thing that actually handles them. Then…

There is some prior work on mitigating the performance cost of immutability that you might be interested in. For example, Clojure's persistent vectors allow fast modifications with…

It's certainly possible that what I encountered, labeled as an 'icicle graph', is a nonstandard usage of the term. But if so, that's a shame. I don't think inverting the y-axis is …

I also like icicle graphs for this. They're flamegraphs, but aggregated in the reverse order. (I.e. if you have calls A->B->C and D->E->C, then both calls to C are aggregated toget…
