I agree with the spirit of this piece, but I think Wordle is a weird choice to try to highlight the point. I enjoy Wordle, but I'm certainly not going to die without it. Not to downplay Wardle, but, as xeromal pointed out, it's p

I used to use Fira Code. Then I played this font game and I switched to JetBrains Mono. https://www.codingfont.com/

Tangential thought: if you're using a passphrase you're not going to ever type manually, for example something you're going to generate once and stick in a secret management system, why not build the passphrase using all poss

That's the exact sentence that made me give up on this... blog entry? Whatever this thing is?

Me, too. And I even want to quit my job. But this did not inspire me to do so.

For people like me who don't have time to watch the talk, what's the answer to the question posed on the blog post? "Why aren’t we using the Language Server Protocol (LSP) or Language Server Index Format (LSIF)?"

They'll get a rude awakening and realize OP is being nice and that's not standard operating procedure.

I love it. Honestly, it could be less professional.

It's a personal choice. I respect their choice.

Meh. I am a tech people, and I'd gladly go to prison if all the other tech people had to go, too.

I like this idea a lot, but I don't trust it to stick around. Mozilla is going to pull a Google and this will be a very painful thing to undo.

Aw, they couldn't stuff one more in there to get a power of two? (I know it doesn't really matter for qubits, but still.)

The real story here is not about the code. When it's your own personal project and you can be your own little tyrant, do whatever you want. Be as "clean" as you need to be. But this was at work, and Dan was being a bad cowo

Not quite "bans". They could face fines, which means it's legal for a price.

There's gotta be some way to programmatically determine it, right? It may not be portable. It may require some system calls or something, but there's gotta be a way, right?

Treat it as a hobby, not a means to a payday. It's your free time. If you're not having fun, why do it?

I remember that! I loved using an avatar that looked like a bush and then hiding in plain sight.

I think they know how much money they've sunk into their Oculus property and they want to see more return on that investment.

You're preaching to the choir. This is why I'd always rather read an article or a book than watch a video if I'm trying to learn something. I'll watch TV or a movie if I'm only aiming to be entertained. But for s

If the web was created today, it would not be a set of open protocols, markup languages, etc. It would be a product. That's the world we live in, so that's why journalists and companies chase that vision. There's obviously

I use Github Actions mostly for automatically publishing my website when I change its content. But I haven't fully set up my build pipeline to my liking. And getting logs and stuff when the pipeline goes sideways isn't very easy

I'm glad it's sold out. I was tempted to buy it even though I know I'd screw it up doing the bending and separating myself. I'm so bad at DIY. I know to buy extras and backups for everything because of how often I scr
