I had the pleasure of working with Jeff in ... I want to say 2012 - he taught me so much, is a fabulous developer and teammate, and we had some great times together. Edit: mise rocks.

But why? The best thing about vim is normal mode. Emacs with evil-mode is so cool.

I love this take. I was a die-hard Vim/Neovim zealot... but these days I absolutely love the ecosystem of tools that support normal mode. For so long hand-cramping emacs keybindings were sort-of-standard-in-a-few-places. If you're

You can mock the RNG. You don’t need to test/prove it’s random, you need to test your code which is not random.

You'd have a lot more time to find and boot them prior to running the lottery. Assuming you didn't/couldn't detect them, at least you spare your users the anxiety and inconvenience of the on-sale while they get screwed.

I don't understand what's so hard about this problem - if you have a platform that's impacted by bots and scalpers, and if you want to do the right thing, or give the appearance of doing the right thing with almost no cost to

You can build very fast reloading yourself, easily. If I'm smart with persisting state on the client, I find I don't really miss "hot" reloading.

Or easily write your own dev server. Once you use the API instead of the CLI, if you have any experience with Express or Connect it's trivial.

I'm trying to improve discourse by fighting against the downvote. It's my opinion it harms discourse significantly. It's low signal, and not constructive. It has an obvious chilling effect on dissent. Nothing upholds echo cha

You could try. I'd assume it was downvoted by folks who perpetuate said double-talk. If there was a defense, they'd have articulated it. But, since anonymous downvoting is easier and less risky, that's what happens. Silencing

Management often already got a deal or has worked their tech choice into a financial projection. Sometimes, they are even right. And "I told you so" rolls downhill.

Screw the site guidelines - drive-by downvoting this comment is highly suspicious, and cowardly.

I think you're in a tiny minority but I'd love to hear more about how it impedes you.

Just to add on to this - remember the first time you saw syntax highlighting? And before that, the code was all in one color? You didn't know you needed it before, but you didn't go back, did you?

I started smoking for this reason and considered it a benefit at the time. But after quitting you come to realize that the camaraderie is covering up the fact that you're all out there killing yourselves instead of doing something bett

I don't agree that society functions well, and I see people mess with each other almost constantly. Your reality seems nice.

Yes. I'm not saying we choose to be bad. I'm saying we sort of have to, and billionaires get the choice, and still choose to generally do more damage than than any of us will ever have the opportunity to attempt.

This is false, too. Those bowls were always empty by the time I got to them. Edit: ever been at a long line for the bathroom at a big concert or sporting event? Or driven on the roads? There's always someone cheating, often making it

Don't forget the police playing copyrighted music while they abuse you to stop you from filming them. When the police are ahead of the tech, you know the People are f'd.

Branson is entering eccentric-pathetic territory. All the other billionaires, evil or otherwise, tend to demonstrate a high level of confidence. Sir Richard is spending his money to s*k his own d*k and he's going to kill people to (ult

This is false. Most people will take advantage of any situation where they detect a low enough chance of consequences, regardleas of who is hurt. We act good because we don't want to be caught, embarrassed, or convicted and condemned.

Many TV and radio commercials still say "backslash" in URLs. They're just wrong, it's never been a backslash. I was being mean.

I have a 90s pickup, manual, no tach. I use it to plow snow on my steep, long driveway. It has "shift up" light, but it's always wrong. Without the windows open I have no idea when to shift.

> The first and second half of the framebuffer are identical, so we can cut it in half to get our screen contents. I don't know why this happens, but we can easily make our display driver duplicate pixels to both halves of the frame

And everyone saying "backslash" is on the inside of an awesome joke too.
