awestroke··on Sucking carbon dioxide out of the sky is moving from science fiction to reality
How about just reinstating the protections for the wetlands?
awestroke··on LogoScale – A method for vectorizing small, crappy logos
That's a weird way of asking for source
awestroke··on Geo Guesser identifies the location and seat number from an aerial shot
Something I never see mentioned about these Geoguesser streamers: what if they are cheating? It would be trivial to set up location extraction the Street View http requests and show it on another monitor (or even overlay window hidden from stream capture) that the streamer can glance at.

cord wrapped around the neck can potentially block blood flow to the brain, causing brain damage
awestroke··on Infrequently Asked Questions in Comp.lang.c (1999)
After reading through this, I'm not sure if it's a list of jokes or real information? For example:

> long ints can be entered using hexadecimal notation; for instance,

> long int foo = 07;

How is this a good example of hexadecimal input?

awestroke··on Fusion Foolery
Ecosystem damage from hydro is local, ecosystem from fossil fuel is global. We are heading for extinction as a species, and under such circumstances it makes sense to cause local ecosystem damage in the form of flooding.

Unlike oil and coal which are very ecologically beneficial?
awestroke··on How to Produce Green Hydrogen for $1/Kg
Hydrogen storage is hard to do cheaply
awestroke··on Things you forgot (or never knew) because of React
I think the people expressing negativity about hooks are a small minority. Hooks are a massive step up from class component lifetime methods, and the composability of hooks can lead to some very clean and powerful code if you know what you're doing. We're using hooks at work, with rules-of-hooks linting, and I can't remember the last time we had an issue or bug because of hook semantics

"working copy is automatically committed" seems like a good idea at first glance, but there are many situations where this is not a good idea:

- when new artefact files are added and you have not yet added them to .gitignore, they'll be automatically committed

- when you have added ignored files in one branch and switch to another branch, the files will still be in your working copy but not listed in your .gitignore file, and would then be automatically committed

- staging only some files and comitting is much easier than splitting a commit after the fact
