I've always been a huge Gorillaz fan. Such a good name because a group of gorillas is called a band. They have made some really unique music that is almost a new genre.

I'm very interested in this tooling for one project in particular. However, I don't think you can assign global hotkeys or minimize things to the system tray. At least I haven't found a way through research yet. I have foll

We truly live in a boring dystopia. It is insane to think how much money and how many absolutely seething customers this will make and it happens again and again.

I have found soft deletes to be really helpful to preserve historical references and as a simple but reversible enable disable switch. Sometimes a really destructive delete isn't something you want to do by default. I have seen them ab

Imagine how many times this happened way back when. You had no real way to prove it easily. I'd say that was the culprit of many people blaming gremlins gnomes and the like.

Meant to say The Martian - Solid new hard sci-fi, very different from the movie.

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is a solid one. Heinlein is a classic.

If you have enough of a bond, I'd have a chat with him. I'd explain that as a smart person and valued member of the team his verbal output would really help. I'd say his perspective would be great to hear more as you know h

These kinds of features being so limited annoys me. Like GoPro can only auto clear a video from your sd card that has been uploaded on the newest model. There is no way that is limited to those devices. But, it probably isn't profita

I've used Replit for love coding interviews when we are talking with candidates. From what I have seen I don't think I would choose to switch to it for a large project. However, it is nice for quick examples of a way for someone

I'll be honest, while it probably didn't run the whole production system it probably did something important enough to at least get wired internet.

Search for videos tagged by listenable. They have a pretty good handle on what you can skip the video for. One great option is standup comedy, it really breaks up just standard music or podcasts/informational videos. I've known

There is something special about it. I remember seeing it for the first time and it seemed like a movie set because I had watched so many scenes in so many films that were shot there but, never actually laid eyes on it.

I really liked quite a bit of it. There are some points I wasn't too sure of however, it gives a great counterpoint to the endless conveniences that modern society provides. I would recommend it, I still run I to thi is that I end up

Anytime I hear about outdoor advertising I think of a quote I saw in the book Civilized to Death. A long time ago man saw Times Square and sat in silence. A few people asked him what he thought. He said this would be beautiful if I couldn

I'd say a hobby always does well to build up a group. I've had a great time meeting people riding dirt bikes and cycling. Gives you a good chance to do group rides and you'll be surprised how small of a world it is. It can

I would still recommend it. Well actually I would recommend Code Complete II as it is the be updated version. I met Steve McConnell in person and have read most of his books. I've found them to be gems. There is a lot of value in re

I wonder if they used ChatGPT to find and/or fix the bug.

Yeah it is funny what you will discover when you are forced to use something you can change. You also sadly realize how much software gets shipped that if the person who wrote it used it, would hate it. You have incredible leverage with

One recommendation I don't hear often is build something that will stick with you. Keeping with the apprenticeship/tooling idea, I would build something that you will use over time. You will be forced to keep backwards compatibil

Can you imagine the founder of White Castle being shown this in some quick burst of future vision? He would have to have his mind blown beyond belief. He was born in 1880. https://www.whitecastle.com/about-us/our-hist

Whenever I am on a project, I try to write any tooling (code generators, utils, scripts, etc) in the tech that it uses. This forces you to broaden your horizons in the tooling. I even have a toolbox git repo that has a bunch of different

Generally when this happens it is because of context. You are clearly setting out to have fun and searching for the joy you did find originally. Most of the time this context is either the problem space, team/political issues or the

One thing that is helpful to stay in shape is a hobby sport. I really enjoy riding dirt bikes, and bicycles. Even better if you can find a group or convince a group of your friends/family to go with you. It is surprising how good of

Thanks for the link. I'll give that a read. I don't daily driver a Mac but, this is good to keep in mind when I help someone else on their machine or testing in Safari. I'll say I have seen a few odd issues with only Safar

That is one of the amazing things about programming. Not only do you have massive leverage but, the fact that all software really comes down to tool building. It is amazing to see what a tool someone built has done. It is even more stagge

For me I can't imagine using a physical keyboard with no arrow keys. I do know some people that enjoy using the 60% boards but, I think I would be driven insane. I am so used to control + arrow that I have to force myself not to type

That sounds like a really cool set of tests, I'll have to check that link out. I have glued a few guitar headstocks after some nasty cracks. With only standard wood glue they would hold great. The strings apply a lot of pressure, an

I'm a fan of woodworking myself. A lot of people in my family have done it for years, so I've grown-up around it. I don't know of any books (I'll be watching this thread for recommendations myself.) As with many hobbi
