Iterator invalidation as a purportedly large error class avoided by immutable code. But it has never happened around me (though I've been immutable for most of my career). In what domains does iterator invalidation occur?

Excellent discussion of WordPress pitfalls and why one dev chose #Clojure. In short, getting targeted and breaking updates all over the place.

Excellent indeed. But how to use it? Policy code is where the huge number of exceptions-to-the-rule live, but can't be avoided in real context

I grew up hearing about the legendary "bad hair day" that was a terminally serious ordeal for the big-hair girls of the 80s and early 90s. I am having my equivalent today: "bad tech day." Chargers aren't working as expected, I can't get mobile data to work on Verizon, and I couldn't even get the radio to turn on in the car for a while. It's one of those days...

Wait... am I doing this right? I'll just go back to RPN and lisp...

Thanks for the help on order of operations, geeks. Here's a handy guide I made that may help you

I learned that HDMI cables require more power than VGA cables. Today I learned that some USBC cables can throughput less power than others; phones cords typically max out at 18w, while my dock really wants 100w. My friends, I would much rather stick to trying to debug my project's transitive dependency version conflicts. I hate hardware.

A handy thread to help break the div habit. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1501506685155696640.html

Handy. I need to remember these.

I usually do my CSS (WordPress) webdev in FireFox, but check it in chrome sometimes. I just found that some CSS selectors work in FireFox but fail in Chrome, and the same for adding ":hover" attribute. Anyone else seen Chrome playing by different CSS rules than others?

I just experienced #emacs rectangle-mark-mode for the first time, though I've been using rectangles for a long time. This allows me to make a rectangle easily even when neither first nor the last line are the longest. Nice!

Now trying to figure out: how do I change my mouse sensitivity from the command line? #linux

PHP 7 created breaking changes from PHP 5. This is where having a disconnect between our server admin (with good security concerns) and our client's [lack of] developers on a 6+ year old webapp really bites.

These Superscripts are gonna kill me. I wish they showed up in the copy-paste...
