Maybe a dumb question, but why release them back? Why separate and raise sterile males when you could kill off both male and female and be done? Is the idea that introducing sterile males back into the population has a compounding effect?

I recommend watching "The AI Paradox" which speaks to this notion that knowledge comes from figuring things out. https://youtu.be/dcolM6W5Odc?si=W-OL-ek5scYSvz2C

FB Marketplace, but that's about it. Even that is a hot bed for people like bike thieves.

Maybe there are more modern, advanced data structures / techniques, but yes, my understanding is that this is a common trade off (having your data structure be more static, with offline updates).

I also find Succinct Data Structures fascinating. I own Navarro's text book, and it's one of my favorite books to take to the coffee shop and try to understand. I also have a copy of Jacobson's Thesis. Since information is

One thing that helps me write is to picture someone I know who I'm talking to. This helps me to include the appropriate level of context, and it also impacts the "voice" I will use. I think the author basically mentions this

I have noticed that when people are explaining the rules of a game, they tend leave out the goal of the game, or wait to mention it toward the end of the explanation. You gotta lead with what the goal of the game is.

Yeah, I probably should just get good at pour-over. The Moccamaster is great, but I have a pretty low bar coming from a MrCoffee.

I would like to know if the plastic used in my Moccamaster is subject to these hazards. I bought it specifically because they claim to use food-grade quality plastic that is supposed to be safe.

One other thing about Lael that I don't think the article mentioned is that on top of being an amazing ultra-endurance cyclist, she also has had to deal with lots of respiratory problems. I don't remember if it's Asthma or wh

Sadly, I have found this to be true for many things. Not dismissing any real, physical aspect, but there's always a psychological aspect that comes into play as well.

My view is that shell scripting feels like the wild-west, so I try to conform to POSIX to maintain some level of sanity, though it feels restrictive at times. I rely on ShellCheck to help me write shell scripts that are POSIX compliant.

The benefit of hjkl is that it keeps your fingers on home row. I see your point that it could be considered dogmatic, though. Personally, I'm a fan of hjkl.

I didn't get the impression that this post was trying to compare vim to anything (which is refreshing). Seems like this is simply demonstrating how to use vim, given a few real-world editing examples.

I'm surprised at the number of commenters here that are blind, or commenters who work with someone who is blind. Maybe this is more common than I thought, and that's awesome. Goes to show that we should try to make accessibility m

I am drawn to the idea of keeping todo lists, but it seems like whenever I start to do it, I begin to feel stressed out or overwhelmed. Not so much by the contents of the list, but by maintaining a list in and of itself. Kind of like an obs

I think that it would come down to personal/team preference. Maybe you need to create a library that can be used in both Erlang/Elixir, so it may make more sense to do it in Erlang. Everything in this article about OTP, Supervisio

Try to think of ways that coding may improve your current job and the day-to-day tasks involved. I strongly feel that when you are motivated by a thing you actually want or need, then it helps make learning go easier. For example, my brothe

That's interesting, I never noticed that subtlety. I think the docs for `for` kind of get at that: > Generators can also be used to filter as it removes any value that doesn't match the pattern on the left side of <-
