I got the lowest of the low MacBooks on a black friday deal years ago for my wife that only had 8GB, thinking the same way. "It'll be fine for her needs." It was more than fine. It was good. Got myself one a month later. I do

I think it's deeply disadvantageous and legally dubious to accept code for which you don't know its provenance.

I can support your assertion here with experience. This is as earnest as it gets.

You can in theory turn off gc but in practice no one does this because nearly everything is written with the assumption that allocations will be cleaned up by the gc. The compiler has no switches to help you run in a non-gc’d state. At best

Some of the best technical documentation I’ve ever written has straight up lies in it. Granted they were placed there in the service of distilling the most germane portions of the API I was trying to explain. But it made a huge difference o

All you really need is one alias. alias homegit="git --work-tree=$HOME --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles.git"

If only your wish and your lack of care were some how related, perhaps in a problem, solution kind of format.

MHRD is also great in this genre. I’ve played it multiple times. I’m happy to hear there are more like it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/576030/MHRD/

I think the test is for this is whether the project is willing to break with the past to _keep_ the api simple, clean, and fast. You're right that is easier for new projects who have no backward compatibility to speak of. From what I&#

It's a prescient statement with regard to the cold war.

I’ve changed how I use Twitter. It’s now in readonly or reactive mode for me. I may comment and retweet but all new content is now being posted to mastodon. While this seemed hard to want to do at first, mastodon actually has a ton of quali

I believe the original phrase was, “The customer is always right in matters of taste.” It’s a shame that party got dropped.

I was a paying GitHub customer, but they had such a crummy private repo policy at the time (I think only 5 private repos were allowed) it forced me to make poor technical decisions: "I'll delete this github repo, keep my local cop

I use this style. It’s been very helpful. It feels like a nice scannable breadcrumb compared to my old commit titles. I did have trouble sometimes remembering the categories. Was it “doc” or “docs”? So I changed my git template to show this

Microsoft’s .NET languages and the CLR do this. You can even use IronScheme so you’ll have a Lisp with a ton of libraries.

It's essentially for efficiency but not merely; it would be impractical to do with partial spends. Transactions are immutable and spend all of their inputs because it's easier to track and verify no double spend has occurred. If y

I like the concept of freedom as an American, but as a cotton farmer not so much.

It sucks that GUI scripting is dying on the vine on Mac, but it still sucked even when Apple was trying to support it with AppleScript. It was always kludgey. BeOS seems like the only OS that made apps that were by default scriptable.

Excuse me, are you asking for data? for evidence? We're here to assert our opinions, speculate on what's best, and cite an anecdote—sadly.

Yeah, who needs entering code to be a challenging "mini-game" instead of an automatic, non-thinking skill of typing?

I fail to see how a program is not a mathematical algorithm.
