The "fire upon the deep" series describes zones where the speed of light differs, causing deserts from which escape is difficult, did to the slow speed at which ships must travel.

Chrome is also adding bizarre ux choices on mobile. The tipping point for me was nested tabs (tab groups) with no way to disable them. I've been a happy Android Firefox user since then.

I also want to be able to tell _why_ which is why I dislike working on codebases that squash commmits. Too many times I've done a blame to see why a change was made, and it's a giant (> 10) list of commit messages. Oftentimes,

I don't know about this project, but I have used tmate.io (self hosted ssh server) for almost seven years for remote pairing, using vim inside of tmate. Compared to vscode: when sharing the terminal, you don't need to worry about

I love svelte on the personal/toy projects I've tried it on, but does someone have an example of a large-ish svelte codebase with an example of a testing pattern that they've found works? Using mithril/vue/react, th

Very true and likely, also considering how short the terms are, but emacs is in clear decline. Perhaps it's just become so easy to use, no one needs to search for anything anymore?

As an aside, I added vim and vi to the trends, which dwarf the others, but show a long and slow decline for `vi`, but a fairly steady state for `vim`. As a vim user that at times wishes he learned emacs instead of vim, emacs is an interesti

The difference being having a more positive/helpful/constructive mindset. With "how might it work" you're proposing solutions to the potential "why will it fail" problems rather than dumping more obstacles

Agreed. I bought a Samsung (UN40JU6700) 4k60p curved monitor for ~$800 and it works reasonably well. There are some quirks using a TV as a monitor and I was a little nervous about the screen quality, but it's worked well so far. Also,

I think the point of the post is valid: it can be hard to work with a schemaless datastore. I think Cassandra is the only one you listed that supports type enforcements.

If you're interested in a websql-like API, take a look at lovefield: https://github.com/google/lovefield -- it's a very websql-like api and looks pretty good.

Keep at it! Part of the problem is designing, part of the problem is printing. If there's a reprap group or a makerspace nearby where there are people with experience, that would help you a lot. I've tried to keep my designs as

I am, unlike the author, not a mechanical engineer. However, I've been able to teach myself enough about designing and printing in 3d to make household-useful items with my 3d printer. The interesting thing is that my wife and I now

Running against a local mysql instance running on a ramdisk and emptying the DB tables between tests yields "fast enough" performance while avoiding test pollution: ~300 full-stack scenarios in ~5sec start to finish.
