almost all 2-stroke engines have had plastic flapper valves and a plastic fuel pump for as long as I can remember.

Sounds like you are trying to tame your thoughts? It will not work, they just don't succumb to effort. Noticing them is all that is required and it's the only thing possible. Instead of a how-to course, I suggest you look for Dhar

phone calls and texts. It's not just metadata. You can switch to WhatsApp and Signal, but your whole Rolodex (remember them?) needs to switch too.

"...hard to imagine scenarios where [file-level compatibility] is useful" what am I missing? Surely dropping a more performant dbm into an existing project would be the application? No?

imho the vaunted readability of custom elements has long been available with haml, with added readability by virtue of the indentation rules replacing closing tags. Not sure why it didn't really gain much traction, maybe the pre-proces

beneath the fancy graphics there's zero explanation of how these are manufactured, how they're constructed, or the magnetic field patterns. No actual deployments or demonstrated applications, just graphics. It's a 3-person co

your rage suggests that you think ChatGPT is making value judgements about elegance or simplicity. You surely know where it picked up those concepts don't you?

"...but will constantly run in to situations where another gems code is using the method that just changed". I've worked with Rails for 20 years and haven't seen this. Have I just been really lucky? I'm sure your t

Try idealist.org But mostly there's not enough $ in non-profits to pay a s/w dev. Another approach is to work hard, retire early, and then do the work pro-bono. I have been doing s/w for non-profits since I retired at 51 20 y

The daily structure of work life allows one to avoid facing some questions that otherwise arise. Financial independence forces one to explore how one wishes to spend one's time when the work constraints are eliminated. This can be a ve

I got a lot out of Jennifer Widom's "Introduction to Databases" MOOC from Stanford. Particularly the normalization concepts. (Don't take them too far, though, as they say "Normalize until it hurts, denormalize until

Yes this is exactly what you need to do. And yes it takes some careful design to eliminate power supply noise. NeuG has some low quality sources of entropy, and also provides analog input for the user to supply with whatever they wish. It d

Is condensation a problem in a freezer? There is no moisture in the air b/c the temp is less than freezing, no? Condensation happens when moist air hits a cool surface, how much power is your circuit consuming? You may not have a probl

I too had poor experience with support and also weak documentation, but I pushed through it and I'm very happy with the product now that it's integrated with my app. They seem to practically 'own' the space and I have so

I have been writing software, pro-bono, for non-profits for over a decade now. I get most of my "work" through idealist.org, which is a trove of opportunities. You might have to monitor for a few months before you find just the ri

What problems do you see with yubikey? I just finished deploying an app with FIDO 2FA using yubikey and it went pretty well. Had to restrict users to Chrome, though, but in my scenario this wasn't a problem. My biggest problem was adap

Typically the error messages that I include for my "this is where I left off" or "still to do" tests are like "page not yet implemented" or "haven't figured out the bug". No definitely don't

Personally I use TDD (or more precisely BDD) for this purpose. If I leave the project overnight, or for a week or a month, I can come back to it, run the tests, and the failing and/or pending tests tell me what I was doing when I last

seems to me the risk of having the backdoor stolen is an overstated vulnerability. Isn't it the same risk as having the iphone source code stolen? Hasn't happened yet has it? If the source code were stolen, someone else could engi

Israel has as much as it needs of Syria... it occupies the Golan Heights. You can see Damascus from there on a clear day.

OK, let's try ternary. Oh, why not go to quaternary, or quinary (I mighta made that word up), and so on. Before you know it, we're back to analog!

well I for one am proud to have been an LSD user. It was amazing, but after about half a dozen trips I started to see "the dark side" and stopped doing it. I have no regrets, it's friggin awesome.

I switched to vim after seeing the astonishing speed possible in Gary Bernhardt's ruby screencasts. My vim chops just get better all the time, the depth and breadth seem limitless. It always gets faster and easier.

I just can't reconcile that a man of science (Brantly) credits magic ("God") for his recovery! Don't you get cognitive dissonance dude?

How about just re-using, by writing on the back, the reams of paper that is printed on one side, that your printer spits out, and much of which is discarded. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

DS1 clocks are not required to be synchronized, they are interleaved into DS3 with lossless bit-stuffing. When there is a loss of frame sync, signalling channels are inhibited. There's no transient synchronization recovery condition wh

I'm pretty sure the bytes are sequentially addressed, but the program (memory contents) may contain branching, conditionals etc to load the next address. Just like assembly language. If I recall correctly, the microprocessor logic on t
