That’s silly. Cat will get on your keyboard anyway. The only real solution is to get heated floors. So my cat prefers sitting under my chair or desk and never gets on it.

Competing with each other would be trying to one-up each other feature-wise, whereas what I have witnessed was things like discussing trade-offs made in different languages and juggling around ideas on if some feature from language A would

I haven’t tried C3 myself, but I happened to interact a lot with Christopher Lerno, Ginger Bill and multiple Zig maintainers before. Was great to learn that C3, Odin and Zig weren’t competing with each other but instead learn from each othe

This is such a mediocre article. It provides plenty of valid reasons to consider avoiding UUID in databases, however, it doesn’t say what should be used should one want primary keys that are not easy to predict. The XOR alternative is too p

I switched to Helix a year ago and I’m very happy about it. I used to spend way too much of my free time configuring my editor and now that I can’t do that I use my free time to actually write some code!

All jokes aside, it's too big of a pain in the ass to have that stuff version controlled. Those file formats weren't meant to be version controlled. If there's persistent Ctrl-Z that's good enough and that's the onl

Video editing is not as portable as coding, there ain't no git. It doesn't surprise me that they have to do that, I imagine it's simply speedier and comfier to connect to a desktop that already has the work in progress in the

Will it lock the GIL if you use thread executor with asyncio for a native c / ffi extension? If that’s the case, that would also add to benefits of asyncio.

This was the best explanation. I forgot I used to be this awkward as well for many years and the autopilot/manual analogy is just great. I did get much better at this though through lots of practice and patiently wasting my mental ener

Do you think the future is behind depth analysis from 2D pictures rather than in lidar scanning? I know lidars are quite pricey, but I haven’t heard of regular camera breakthroughs in the domain.

How did Waymo do this? As far as I know, replacing drivers with an AI was the goal of ever-money-losing Uber and Lyft, however, Waymo managed to get to this much sooner while having less funds.

It’s really sad that antitez and other people involved with Redis have to deal with all that backlash and what’s even more sad is that people are going for Valkey now. All this breach of trust bullshit imo comes from blind purism that ignor

It doesn't necessarily mean that React does it right. When building React apps, developers spend too much time on designing architecture for many things that should have been taken care of by the tools they are using. The more I am in

Didn’t Python tackle a similar problem? I remember that dictionaries were known to be unsorted, however, when writing tests, I’ve noticed that the items were always in the same order. I don’t remember what was I looking up, but my manager a

There was another story from a guy who suffered a PTSD from coding too much, who would have literal panic attacks whenever he would work on something. If you remember it, could you please link the story?

You just don't like modal editing. Switching from emacs to ed due to emacs' slowness is by no means a reasonable choice considering being limited to line-by-line editing. Ed is bare-bones and over time you will realize that you ne
