A master volume control would be nice (only because my browser doesn't have per-tab controls).

My mental model of a website that replaces the content with some 'sign up now' stuff while I'm trying to read it is that it deserves to get closed and never looked-at again.

I have never really grokked Ruby on Rails and I passionately hate all the frameworks that try to adapt it to some other language. That said, I suspect that Ruby on Rails itself occupies kind of a special space where the magic is acceptable

I'd return my Framework laptop if that was still an option. First they sent me bad RAM, and left me on my own to sort it out with Crucial, which never went anywhere. The mainboard has some weird power issue that prevents the modular

An example of an OpenSCAD design written this way: https://github.com/TOGoS/OpenSCADDesigns/blob/master/2023/ex... I wrote about the approach a little bit in this Reddit post: https://www

`5.times` is not so outlandish, though it would seem better for that to be in a `Loop` library or something (`Loop.times(5) { do some stuff }`). The `5.days` example that was posted somewhere else in this thread might be a better example.

I had about as much luck trying to find a countersinking router bit for 5/16" holes on this site as I did elsewhere. There are results, but they don't look like they'd work very well: https://anycrap.shop&#x2

Same "easy to run" benefit, but Deno has the advantage that it caches everything and won't mess screw your computer unless you `--allow-write` or whatever.

Being a good programmer requires thinking about things that, whether you realize it or not, are math problems. Things like managing complexity, or analyzing a program to understand what it even does. You can get pretty far just with a str

As per the 'special parsing rules for script tags', browsers don't actually treat it as what you'd expect it means. <script>console.log("<![CDATA[Hello, this string content in a CDATA section!]]>&quo

There is a secret technique, called content-addressing[1], which elegantly solves both of them at once. A lot of people haven't caught on, and try to cache things using ambiguous names, hence the struggle to invalidate their caches whe
