Over an hour of over the shoulder view of someone running their development environment, with mild jazz for audio. Screen is too small and changing to fast to really inform. Maybe stay for the jazz.

I used to get hiccups often, but acquired the ability to will them to stop in my teen years. Since then it's become an automatic reflex that when something triggers that first hiccup, I "do the thing", and there's never

I scrolled the whole list looking to see if there was anything about being able to stop hiccups by conscious effort alone. Suspect that there would be some overlap between voluntary tube openers and hiccup stoppers, as the internal sensatio

Someone should step up and rectify that, there's a lot of potential for confusion.

Just as it's not immediately obvious when looking at a mile of assembly code what particular algorithm is represented, it's similarly difficult to figure out "what's going on" when presented with a pile of C++ For a

Exactly this. You always have to choose what to leave in, what to take out. "Ways to do it" suggest themselves, and you weigh them, "is it the best fit for this project". A lot of what's left out evaporates into t

3/4 of the way into that, they casually let drop that the lead developer was a teenager ? Seems like that might be the most interesting aspect of this

That means something, that is important.

Pretty sure the big A had a problem with older versions of the OS. I'll climb way out on a limb and guess that the API for the apps didn't support embedding control codes in the stream to disable various user controls at points of

Apparently leading up to Amazon prime video inflicting ads where no ads had gone before, they put out a requirement to streaming device manufacturers that said devices needed to support the ability of the source to disable certain buttons.

When roku decided that Amazon was the rightful owner of my fastforward button about a year and a half ago, that nearly got it tossed, but since Netflix was still behaving, I still have my roku. But if (as I suspect) we're about to beho

Right? My inner 17 year old wonders where that magic was, back in the day.

After the first cord or two, the ground around the block should be covered in chips and splinters. That might be easy to add to the sim. Otoh, it's a fun little sim as is.

Not to mention a cooler stack temperature and the increased creosote condensation that brings. Or that it's just pain heavier to lug into the house.

Well, what about when you get into a piece of apple wood, and as soon as you hit it, carpenter ants boil out of it, all over your chopping block, up the handle of your axe, and you don't even realize 3 or 4 of them got up your pant-leg

Sometimes I actually want objects that are transparent, fully public, and 'struct' is perfect for that. But if I then go and put methods into those structs, does that make me unorthodox?

IMO it renders them kind of pointless, as you can then just leave out the field names (keywords, in pythonese) and get the same effect. It's very disappointing that they're naught but comments without the punctuation.

Greek 'anameixi' loosely means a mixture or a blending. The special states could be called 'anameixic', the property could be called 'anameixicity'. Why am I trying to find a name for this? Otoh, why are so m

Calling something 'magic' is like an admission that you have no clue about what is going on. Seems to me, they do have some clue, namely that instead of codes with perfect isolation, there might be some advantage to studying ones

If they had just raised the rate and left the service as it was, I'd only have been slightly annoyed at them. But to alter what I had, and then ask that same amount to put things back the way they were? That was a slap in the face.

Maybe it's the very molecules that the live cells were using, just doing their thing without the cells. Cells concentrate things by confining them in a small volume, but otoh, if you have damp particles, the thin water layer on the par
