Perhaps we should be trying to make the machines perform correctly, instead of saying that creating fabrications is OK for anyone or anything.

A potential concern is how close this looks to the pattern they're trying to override. db.execute(f"QUERY WHERE name = {name}") versus db.execute(t"QUERY WHERE name = {name}")

Using it in production for an SDK. It's working very well!

Yes. Thank you. His book Aurora does a much better job at steering us towards action while still showing consequences of environmental disaster and I highly recommend it.

One of the coolest things about plantuml is the generated PNG actually contains the source code for the image as metadata. If someone gives you an image, they don't also need to send you the source because you can extract it using the

It's not a brave face. The science tells us that we're on a better and improving track. It's not without hope. A decade ago we thought we were on track for 6C by the end of the century. That said, it's still going to be

Thanks, that looks like exactly what I was looking for.

Is there anything similar to this for Java/Kotlin/Gradle?

You're absolutely right. The "move fast and break things" position in society is just not good. It's fine if you're doing rapid prototyping on a product that can be easily discarded cheaply and at low cost to everyo

I started bullet journaling with pen and paper and it has changed my life. Intentionality -- that's exactly right. When I write I feel intentional. I've also dove into the world of nice paper and fountain pens. I've always ha

This is how I started getting into it, not really believing in my actions but doing something because I felt it was principally, morally right. Through CCL and their science-based approach and reliance on external studies, I've learned

This "we are doomed" attitude is unhelpful towards positive change. It forces us towards selfishness and away from empathy and mutual-support. In some ways, it is a self-fulfilling perception of the world. It is an excuse for pers

I know what I'm missing, and have experienced it. I see this as an environmentally friendly way to do something I love literally whenever I want, and it's wayyyyy cheaper to boot. And the racing quality (competition) is better tha

Assetto Corsa's complete edition often goes on sales for ~$5 and can be modded like crazy, and also has reasonable controller support. Wheel and pedals will always be better though.

One of my biggest hobbies is sim racing, and I can tell you that putting on the VR headset is akin to putting on a helmet and setting off on the track. The sweatiness and discomfort is nothing more than a real driver would experience, and t

This was my first thought as well. I use graphviz quite a lot for these sorts of diagrams, and I really like it. Their site, reference materials, etc. need updating though.

This is a good read. I did not know about typing.cast and was just putting # type: ignore on things. So far, we've had a pretty positive experience with mypy and it's helped prevent a few bugs. Do be prepared to find weird edges y

My favorite use for links (I use links not lynx, but they're basically the same tools from an efficiency standpoint) is on an airplane where I have terrible internet connection. Browsh is not killing _true_ CLI-based text-only browsers

When I read any article like this I always go back to Louis CK's "Everything's Amazing and Nobody's Happy" bit. Like, c'mon people, can't you just let someone happily experience the miracle of flight while

I've been telling friends and family this for years. It's by far my favorite thing to see in a new city in a region I've never been before. It's sort of like a modern anthropological exhibit in more ways than any other s

I think this is a bikeshedding criticism more than something that requires serious concern. Asciidoctor simply supports more out-of-the-box and officially than reStructuredText. Preferring reStructuredText to Asciidoctor this way is like co
