Whenever I read, see or, especially, visit such enormous abandoned man-made objects I have very specific feeling which is hard to put in words. Some wild yet soothing blend of awe and fear. Does anyone else experience it? Is there a name fo

I can agree if there are not so many abbreviations, but when almost every single line is full of them, that is what makes code incomprehensible.

This is an example of what is making ML so hard for uninitiated. 160 characters per line, avoidance of using spaces, abbreviations everywhere which are not explained anywhere, lack of autoformatter. This looks like a recipe for write-only c

I'm wondering about how common this knowledge nowadays? What is the chance that if you take average Joe and put him into forest without any specific tools, what is the chance that he will be able to start fire? That's what feels i

Interestingly, my cat started to bring pieces of her food to me so I can throw it and she can pretend it's live pray she is catching. This behavior emerged suddenly out of nowhere without prior training. I bet many pet owners can share

For the last years I was working on several startups as a contractor. I always put my very soul to the success of the project, tried to be friend for everyone on the team, committed for 40-50 hours per week. When projects demanded non-profi

Kind of obvious one, but I wish more people knew that — critical thinking. On the one side it helps to avoid bad/stupid things in life: quackery medicine, scammers, bad investments, etc. On the other side it allows to peep deeper into

May you reconsider changing your title screenshot [1]? Now it contains chat references to porn & other 18+ channel with obscene language (in Russian). Not exactly thing that you want to send to your colleagues. [1]: https://g

IMO shell which require developers to write code like this [1] to implement mere syntax highlighting for command you're entering has bad design. I don't know which level of intellect is required here for a newcomer to fix a bug. [

Sorry, but I find this to be very bad design. Check this out [1]: kak script evaluating sh script which in turn call perl which constructs kak script commands and output them to stdout to be evaluated by kak. Or this one [2]: same, as befor

Because of this we've implemented a tool called `mark` [1], which allows to write articles in markdown and render them as native Confluence pages. If you're interested in having self-hosted service for that, just drop us an e-mail

I have exactly the same problem as you. I'm looking for a solution too and it seems that deep sleep length/continuity might be linked with serotonin levels. Did you take a blood test on serotonin?

Most often case is when you forget to type sudo before command. This implementation propose to re-type executable name in all-caps (or type it in all-caps beforehand). More efficient approach is to use keybinding like Ctrl+T to prepend sudo

This is perfect example of a insight which leads to a rabbit hole of intertwined complexity of our concepts when you try to understand why regexp for validating regexp is actually much simpler than regexp for validating email address.
