Honestly, the new professor wasn't too far off. I've often referred to "The Little Schemer" as "the best javascript book that isn't about javascript."
It's almost certainly related. I wouldn't be surprised if the sleeper hit podcast of the same name[1] that was released last year played a role in resurfacing the issue, too. [1]…
What a lovely, sumptuously-written piece. Thank you for sharing!
For me, this pattern is just common sense. I’ve had no more than one subscription active at a time for over two years. I keep a list of things that sound interesting, and when it gets to be more than a couple for a…
> I don't know why. 'Whet' means to sharpen (whetstones are used to sharpen knives, for example), so whetting one's appetite means to sharpen appetite, or to make one hungrier (for knowledge, food, whatever).
Sitting on a call right now where a guy is going on about how excited he is to mock out the entirety of a large e-commerce vendor's platform. It's maddening.
Severance had stronger Philip K Dick vibes than other shows that were actually based on his work.
And the people who are more muscular _know_ that BMI isn't going to be accurate for them. The complaints seem to be somewhat bad faith arguments from the population for whom it is accurate, but wishes it weren't.

As someone who also loves Bandcamp, I can't help but assume that enshittification is nigh.
Schwalbes are absolutely excellent (I've used the, regrettably discontinued, Marathon Supreme on my commuter for years), but they're still subject to pinch flats if you're using tubes.
I don't think you're being overly critical, especially since both user accounts seem to exist for the sole purpose of promoting the project.
You're generally correct about TNG, but I think that Worf's development and the machinations within the Klingon High Council roughly constitute a story arc that ran through the series.
SBF is more like the reverse Neumann. Neumann went into WeWork's endgame looking like a fool, and emerged from it a rich wizard.
Bottom bracket, the part that holds the axle to which the cranks attach.
Karabiner Elements[1] should let you remap the Esc key. And, while I don't have personal experience with it, it does seem like it may allow you to set up locale-based shortcuts, as well[2]. [1]…
I've used Capital One's virtual card service many times to close a card associated with a service that would've otherwise required me to chat or call someone to cancel. It's worked extremely well.
There was also an infomercial[1] for a product called "AirCore" in the US a couple decades ago for something similar. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIIWBvgyvmI
And _currently_ involves hiring consultants to force employees to sit through hours of anti-union fear mongering the second management smells a whiff of pro-union organizing sentiment. The 'American Factory' documentary…

The ability to simply cancel any subscription without clicking through increasingly desperate "Don't go!!!" nag screens is easily worth an extra 30% for me, too.
Consensus may take time, but when you're pouring gas onto a fire, arguing that you need to dump out most of the can before you can be sure you know what you're doing isn't a defensible position.
They are likely referring to developer productivity and perceived code quality, not user satisfaction.
They've been my main bank for a number of years, and I second this. The APR on their savings account is generally either the best or among the best available, and the small handful of times I've had to call their…
