   I read so many docs when I was trying to implement OAuth and got more and more confused. This video was a huge help though for explaining all of the concepts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=996OiexHze0

   Oh, this segues nicely from my DST, my favorite bikeshedding topic into my second favorite one! Base 12 is better than decimal in every way. It divides cleanly by 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12. Compare that to decimal, where you have 1, 2, 5, 10. I

   Me too! I spent Christmas there many years ago, and every person I talked to asked: 1. Are you going back home for Christmas? 2. No? Oh are you going to get a Christmas cake from KFC? I was like, Christmas cake? And why KFC specifically? My

    I wish more companies had this, it's really useful. I looked into applying at Gitlab, but was able to easily find out their location adjustment and avoided wasting my time or theirs. Unfortunately they pay less in a high cost of livin

    Just wanted to thank you for this. When I was a lost and confused junior, I had no one more experienced around to ask for advice. I stumbled across this and it answered so many questions that I had, and it still very much applies many years

    Magnetic tape is still used in recording, but for the distortion it adds rather than concern about quantization. In fact, the audio is simply routed through the tape machine, then into a computer for storage. Distortion here means both extr

    From what I understand, shipping containers are sent out from Asia stuffed with goods, but there isn't nearly as much going in the other direction. The containers need to go back whether they're full or not, which is why it ends u

    You "make" a loop but "take" a bight, as unhelpful as that may be. A loop is a step in making a knot, where as a bight is just a handful of rope somewhere in the middle of it. You can tie a regular bowline, or a bowline

    I lived in Japan when I was 19, and I never once was asked for ID when buying alcohol, neither at a store nor a bar. It seemed to be largely the honor system, since you could buy alcohol from vending machines. Although when one bartender fo

    Five years ago, just before Christmas, everyone was taking about Amazon drone delivery. My hairdresser brought it up to me. My dad was talking about getting his guns out of storage so he could take a pot shot or two. A lot of people who had
