I like to say that I don't care if it's inaccurate, as long as it's precise.

I also think we should be thinking more long-term. How understandable is the history when you're trying to figure out why something changed? I usually try to tell the story of what changes are being made rather than…
+1 for SmartGit. It's much more intuitive and flexible than the JetBrains UI, which still inherits so much terminology and behavior from its "unified" view that includes being able to handle Perforce changelists. It's a…
I would imagine that you could use it to write automated tests for Canvas code (maybe charts?) running in Node, e.g., jest with snapshots.
Thank you for summarizing this so well.
For me it was Termination Shock that finally convinced me to stop reading his books. He just likes to write really long, repetitive and wildly overly detailed books. I was entertained by SevenEves and Reamde but I'm…
I'm using the [Bypass Paywalls](https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome/blob/ma...) extension but it looks like that's been DMCA-ed in the interim.
It's not just you. My reading is that the flaw was toxic Java users made the developers feel so bad about the feature that they canceled it out of spite. I'm almost certain that's not what it was but that's the only…
I think that there's something up with that page. There may be a pathological path when suitable GPU support is not available. My machine slowed down tremendously, with a YouTube video in another tab pausing entirely…
I think the morality he's speaking to is the scalability of using that strategy. If everyone does it, then the system overloads and breaks. If only a few individuals do it, then those individuals willing to arrogate…
A "row-less" grid fits very well in the current CSS Grid specification, in that it can reuse the very powerful column-definition property as well as sub-grids. Their examples very convincingly show how orthogonal these…

I honestly hadn't considered that when I asked someone to use Signal or Threema instead of Facebook Messenger that they would think I was a pedophile or drug addict. Food for thought.
I didn't read the article. Does this include money lost on NFTs and crpyto? ducks
> Azure is the worst of the 3 cloud providers. Horrible developer experience and documentation and reliability. Really? I find Microsoft's documentation for Azure (in English) to be quite thorough and helpful. Their…
Agreed, it requires user-participation. However, LastPass could be proactive about this, perhaps including the number of rounds in its security check. It could tell you that your legacy account should be updated and…
I was a longtime user of TimeSnapper, but stopped tracking time entirely for a while. I've recently started with ManicTime and am very happy with the UI and features. It takes very little time to track, even when you…
Documentation for internal consumption often makes assumptions that no longer hold outside of the company. It might reference internal machines or drives that will not be available. It might take shortcuts that will be…
Also worth nothing, if you have multiple machines: the cloud-sync works flawlessly. Just boring.
Ah, the Strugatskys! Absolutely highly recommended. That was my favorite book of theirs as well.
Summa Technologiae (Electronic Mediations) by Stanisław Lem (1966) From my notes: "This is a non-fiction work translated from the original Polish. It is not a light work: it encompasses Lem’s complex and intricate…

Honestly, Azure DevOps is a solid replacement. The integration is really good and the "Boards" software really feels like they're eating their own dog food. Their Wiki software is Markdown stored in a Git repo (unlike…
