Fresh pasta is an entirely different beast from dried pasta, so the two are hard to compare. I never made dried pasta at home, but I find it impossible (even in Italy) to buy fresh gnocchi that are as good as the ones that you can make at h

I am all for improving the conditions so that signs can be removed (and this is valid with code too, e.g. a strong type system removes the need for a lot of documentation), but again we should not advocate for not documenting things, that&#

Sure, but then the advice we should give is "please please document the WHY", rather than "stop commenting" In any case, I personally find it very useful when I come to a new piece of code to find comments that summarise

"Remove half of the signs, they become outdated whenever we change the roads" Software is written by humans for humans, and documentation is a fundamental part of it, and needs maintenance just like the rest. It is beyond me why o

In all the Haskell teams I worked in, the candidate knowing Haskell was rarely a significant advantage (except for cases where the most experienced Haskeller leaves, and then you need to hire someone to direct your GHC-internals questions t

This game is very good, congrats! I would like to play more, but the games seem to be unreliable - the moves from my opponents stop getting through at some point, typically after a few moves.

I've been fighting with the automatic accumulation of downloads for years now - it really makes it impossible to figure out if whatever I downloaded can safely be deleted - so my current system is similar to the OP's one, but a li

I've been looking into this (thanks for the pointer to Sensitronics!), do you have any pointers to a manufacturer of squishy material pads? (silicone I guess)

There's also the thing that while modern keeled sailboats are able to sail well upwind, that is not the case for these classic vessels which have a much smaller/shallower keel, and have a lot of trouble upwind. So if the wind is n

Sailor here - an 8 meters boat is in that awkward spot where it's big/heavy enough that it can do damage if incontrollably drifting against something (e.g. the wooden vessel itself) but light enough that you can literally just pus

The most impressive thing about this is not the overtone singing - one can learn that given some practice time - but to me it's how LOUD the quartet sounds. I'd recommend being in the same room with them if you can, the feeling is

Companies don't do this because they can get away with it. Unions are usually the most effective countermeasure to these kind of things. Here in Finland the tech-sector union just agreed to a 2% salary increase (inflation is at 2.5% th

I 100% relate to this, so the smartwatch bit is very interesting as I didn't think of using it for this - what's your workflow like? Do you just have calendar events on your wrist, or a more custom solution?
