I think it’s also think it’s interesting to consider from the perspective of side-channel attacks/information leaks. For the most part, I think text notes are well just text. But I shutter to think what other metadata, fingerprinting,

For a while, I was using PC-BASIC to generate audio files for the IBM PCjr cassette interface to do some more diagnostics, for a machine that I had that didn’t have a working disk drive. I don’t even know if there is anything else out there

I’d take it one step further: if `git log`—a hierarchical view of the connection of commits—is the only way you (and your team) interact with commit messages, then yea it’s probably fine. But, I think the value of commit messages become rea

This is the epitome of the sentiment: those interested in the pursuit of “hard truths” are only extrinsically motivated to find fault in others and gleefully “correct” another’s “faulty” self perception. Never intrinsically motivated to bet

Legit question: who, exactly, classifies as “the insane” in this statement?

For the latter I use often use `git stash` for that; stashing off the test case/data, then at each step of the bisect, you can do `git stash apply` (rather than `git stash pop`) to reapply the same changes multiple times. Before moving

Something that took me an embarrassing long time to realize was that North American electrical outlet binding terminals are a combination slotted/Robertson screw head. The Robertson is great. Klein tools makes combination head tools th

If I pay for grammarly, and it plagiarizes an existing work but represents it as an entirely new, independent work and I am unaware of the existing work that is being stolen, who is doing the stealing?

When, exactly, was this period of unbiased/opinion-free event coverage in UK journalism you apparently long for? You rail against “modern journalism” like it’s some kind of recent downhill slide, a by-product of modern political biases

Just wanted to also drop a recommendation for soulver, but I have been split between it and Calca ( http://calca.io/ ) which I think is _also_ worth checking out, if you like this kind of hybrid notes/calculator like int

git bisect and got blame are underrated tools, that in my opinion get lost in the conversation about should-you-squash-or-not. They really have diminishing returns when you start squashing huge feature branches into a single commit.

This one is interesting, because if I recall correctly, if you are using the single symbol they more or less mean the same thing. You can do ~~~ or ^^^ and get to the same spot The difference is in their numerical notion. ~N means go to my

for people who haven’t gone to a top-tier college/university for computer science—especially self-taught developers—I would say that the corollary advice is also true: Don’t just build stuff—study stuff!

I have no connection or affiliation with this product, but I enjoy a good ASCII/Unicode chart in code—a picture is worth a 1k words—and I've been leaning on https://monodraw.helftone.com/ lately for my text drawin

I'm glad to see other people working on this kind of stuff. The old Descent games had a related—although more primitive—rendering engine that could be (ab)used to similar effect that was a lot of fun back in the mid-90's. Some of

I would also like to add x-com on Ironman. Losing a soldier because you got sloppy and arrogant; putting them in an indefensible position and watching them get slaughtered. Do that enough times and you literally cannot win with just rookie

I agree with what you are saying, in regards to a healthy relationship… But, I'm nearly positive that's not the message that is being conveyed by the artist/photographer in this image/collection of images. So, I'm

I guess what I'm trying to say is which is more depressing or sad: a couple ignoring each other, or a guy watching a couple ignore each other, or even, if I were to turn the lens on myself, a guy watching another guy watching a couple

I get, and appreciate, where I feel the artist is going with this: a reflection on the loneliness epidemic and our relationship to technology. BUT I think one layer of meta out is just as creepy and weirdly out of context once you start e

One of the first games I played as a kid was the DOS port of infocoms Deadline (1982) — a police/detective mystery. Easily one of my favorite adventure games of all time. It had a branching story line, multiple endings, a real-time-ish

I find stuff like this fascinating; I'm old enough to remember computers from this era, and—at least for me—I have a certain nostalgia for them. The first computer I was exposed to was an IBM PCjr, so seeing stuff like this 35 years af

I’ve been thinking about this topic a lot, myself. Growing up, I never had access to a c64—we had a pcjr at home and apple 2e at elementary school—but I am, now as an adult, really interested in these types of projects and could easily see

I'm not sure I agree with this definition of a "toy"; to me is an item used primarily for "play" (or not exclusively for "work"/"productivity"). Play is most definitely not restricted to chi
