Also interesting is the Citigroup Center building in NYC that almost suffered a catastrophic failure after construction completed in 1977. > Due to material changes during construction, the building as initially completed was structurall

I've been watching all of Modern Vintage Gamer's content for about 9 months now. This guy puts out some really nice videos with high production quality. There was a great video about game disk copy-protection a few weeks back. Awe

Taking a left turn here, but how is it "easy" to setup solar? At the minimum you'll need a master electrician to sign-off on your install and might be hard to find after-the-fact.

Please forgive me, but how is this easier to use than make? I see a lot of these "reimplement tool X in language Y" projects, but what is the point if it's not actually solving the problem better. Just looking at the link it

I wouldn't touch this considering how quickly Google shuts things down. Maybe if it's still available in 5 to 10 years.

Or just use pip-tools to automatically update dependency versions.

Unfortunately you have not provided a lot of examples to go along with your major complaints. I feel like at some level, every language will have its idiosyncrasies that create annoyances and issues. From what I can tell, you are describing

"If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it." I would suggest starting by gathering data to show you CEO where you think you can make improvements. Sometimes just applying a standard processes is not enough to convince manageme

sponge is great when you want to read and write to the same file: cat file.txt | grep -v secret | sponge file.txt

For a language that assigns gender to articles (e.g. German) what do you do when you want to be more inclusive?

Yup, math checks out. 80k words a book, so say 120k words/week. If you read 200 wpm then this would take about 10 hours or 1.5h per day.

I think it would help if they placed more limits on how much one person can interact with the site at a time. If you are someone that sits on SO for 8 hours a day every day, then there is a high correlation you become one of the people that

Spot on regarding price comparisons between brands. The cost difference is really not significant over life of the device, and in historical context of computing power per $. I get that maybe the MBP is not bleeding tech right now, but fit

Can we talk about how terrible the config/ordering experience for an X1 is compared to Apple? Why does Lenovo (and Dell) make it so difficult to actually buy an X1 without being a product expert? The shop page has 6 or 7 base configura

The commenters on that post are very narrow-minded and should not be downvoting and making pointless comments. That said, I think for SO you should word the question so that it can have a specifically correct answer. The farther you stray f

pip-compile --upgrade pip-compile --upgrade-package are also necessary features to quickly track your dependencies (and transitive deps). pipenv uses pip-tools, but they haven't exposed these features as far as I can tell.

I think people forget what it was like before Slack. Sitting down to 30+ emails by 9:00AM and over 200 in a single day. It was death by email threads and following them was a horrible time suck. Worse off, email was treated like a real time

I'd love to hear a comparison to features provided by pip-tools. Managing the pyenv is nice, but not at the expense of giving up the ability to auto-update and remove stale dependencies from a requirements.txt file. Is this something p

Agreeing with other posts that this is mostly bullshit. Software is complex because every project is constrained by limited resources. There is no perfect language to develop in. There is no perfect framework or platform to create your app

I came here to say this! There is also a newer (cheaper) ERX, but some of the specs are not as good.

I don't fully grok this logic. So if Google adds a test assertion framework to the stdlib, then you would recommend using because it is now "Go approved"? In that event nothing has changed other than where the code is coming
