   Write unit tests, document code, optimize code, explain code. I've tried Python functions and React code. It even converted a class based React component to a functional style component!

   I'm using a ThinkPad E480, with 2 monitors attached. Lubuntu 19.10. It's my main dev machine running Postgres, VirtualBox, Elixir, Node, etc. Battery is still amazing after 4 months. I've always wanted to buy a MacBook Pro, m

    I'm currently reading Statistics for Dummies, and these kind of techniques used i.e. wrong scale, incorrect starting point, etc is explained very well. Highly recommended.

    This is nice. But she is still using images right? It's the same. Choose a great texture, apply it to objects.

    Wordpress is great. I've signed up for a yearly plan, I get to use my own domain. And their editor is really great.

    I use Ansible via the API. I want to do it Python 3. I moved the ansible directory from /usr/local/python2 ... to /usr/local/python3 and then squashed out any bugs by hand. It works! I'm using Ansible vi

    I used Arch Linux around 4 years back. I did a routine upgrade and it broke my system. What is this rolling release fiasco? Even Ubuntu, which I use now has a "release" (technically an pt-get upgrade), almost every other day. But

    Yes, Audio does work. But the Web Audio API has some things more to offer for the simpler stuff. Simple games, timing, effects, detune, etc.

    The Web Audio API is designed for web developers who would want to integrate sound into their web apps. Notifications, etc. That pre-browser era where we would have sounds for everything. Minimize window, user logged in, logged out, all tha

    I realise that I might be off an a tangent but this is a not a good analogy. If I were an alcoholic, I would rush off to the nearest drug store and get a fuckin' beer. I would not even own a fridge. :) A book that has personally helped

    I'm not sure what this has to do with Aadhaar, although the initial petition mentions it I think. Aadhaar is setup as a way of proof of identity and not proof of citizenship. I for one did not get an Aadhaar until a week ago! The only

    I dread the day when the average Internet user can do such things. Or even _want_ to do such things. Please hire a good developer to do this and pay good money :) I recollect a conversation I had with a recruiter around 12 years back. He wa
