gitkraken also has an undo button

Your approach to pay is really refreshing and attractive as an engineer, and also seems like the exact type of thing most VC or larger tech firms would really hate. That alone feels like evidence of your conviction

If you're in this thread "I built a PC, all my stuff has RGB, it's fine but I don't get it", try setting them all to the same color - you might be surprised how nice it looks. I set everything to white, but my roommate has a nice shade of purple he uses for everything. My real golden rule is absolutely no motion. Can't stand cycling rainbows or whatever.

Yeah, why provide an API to disable the minimize button if they're going to reject your app for using it

That's so interesting! I think the fact that they nail the tech so well makes it intuitively surprising that it didn't come first. Not pixar but similarly, when I saw the siggraph talk where Disney Animation showed off how they do snow rendering in Frozen I wondered whether the tech came first

> I think the way a team/company handles an unusual high-stress situation is in many ways telling of the team/company dynamic in general

What sorts of signals do you look for in these answers?

New comment by chuckdries in "15 states are trying to make the electoral college obselete"

Right now it's the opposite

> People who want to get away from the ~big cities~ small towns and live a different kind of life with different priorities (and different legislative interests), shouldn't be totally shut out, should they? Even though I live in a ~giant urban area~ rural area, I wouldn't want to feel pressured to due so due to lack of political stake if I move elsewhere.

who's to say one direction is more important than the other? At least if we ditch the electoral college, individual voices always have the same volume

I don't agree with the assessment that betamax was superior. Sure it had more advanced technology, but it was too expensive and much more complicated - it fit the business requirements of a home video system poorly

I think reposting is fine, I just think it'd be nice to have a list of previous discussions because I like reading them

Honestly their toys always seemed really cool, but I'm surprised this didn't come sooner. They were _really_ expensive, which was justified by how advanced the tech was sure, but to a certain point most people just don't want to spend that much money on a toy

They say the registry info is available via API, so perhaps a simple bash script that calls curl would suffice

chuckdries — Mon, 04 Mar 2019 04:18:16 +0000

I think we have a ways to go. Typescript's type system is very feature complete (which is a good thing, but it also means there's a lot to learn, and I feel like I have to think about type definitions more than I ever did with other languages), but also, fantastic libraries like Ramda have a lot of trouble with expressing their types with Typescript. It's a tough problem to solve, and I still use both, but I'm just saying we're not there yet.

I prefer simple tools.

- Heroku is cheap for personal projects. - A single Digital Ocean droplet where you manage everything yourself, is cheap for personal projects. - If you're working in node, Glitch.com is literally free node hosting

My custom build shows the motherboard logo at the correct resolution immediately on POST and never has to mode switch even through grub. It flashes off and on to load the nvidia proprietary drivers, but never has to do so when I boot to windows.

Are you arguing that these companies have their monopolies because of regulation?

ZSH's z plugin does the same thing. Highly recommended for the ZSH users out there!
