This is one of those things that seems true, but is it? They’ve presented no evidence whatsoever. Even the question itself carries with it an assumption. Does time seem to pass faster as we age? I bet you could find some people for whom it

In the past there was a thing called company scrip. It was a big problem. State issued money sure as been a lot better. That said, states do not have a monopoly on money. Ever heard of Robux? Gift cards? Airline miles? Arcade tokens? Credit

There are a lot of categories of posts on here that I would love to block. I hate the customer service ones also. Especially where people complain about their account being banned and whatnot. But the effort required to shift the opinion of

I agree with this. The only person who is paying money for a blog platform is someone who is making money from that blog. A blog that makes money needs tons of features for analytics, monetization, SEO, etc. i.e.: Not a clean and simple one

Once I went on vacation to a tropical island. I went to a grocery store on the island. I didn't bring a bag because I was a doofus who had not previously lived or traveled to a tropical island. There were no plastic bags. There were no

Most people using machine learning to make search engines are replacing the search paradigm with a prompt + answer format. I think there’s an easier way. Train an ML model to be able to tell apart legit web sites from garbage ones. It’ s ju

FROM is not a command, it's a parameter, and an optional one at that. This is valid SQL. SELECT 1; The SQL commands are SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, etc. Therefore, those commands should be the first thing in an instruction. If you

Does that mean I have to wait 20 more years for this one to be fixed? https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1806237

I think the problem is not just eyesight. I think it's that for a lot of people now their phone is their primary, and often only, computing device. Being a computer person I have many devices. My phone is only used when I'm out an

Uh, actually no. That's not what happened at all. Apple was all about making things smaller and thinner. It was the non-Apple phones that started the trend of bigness. In part it was because they weren't advanced enough to be able

They didn't sell well enough. Simple as that. I'm sticking with this iPhone mini until they no longer support it with iOS updates.

While the industry as a whole makes a lot, the majority of individual anime and manga make next to nothing. It’s a few very popular properties that make all the dough. If people were paid fairly, most productions would be untenable. There w

The only thing I would have done differently is change jobs more frequently and been less afraid to negotiate harder. I stayed in one place too long.

Sometimes software bloat is what it is. Poorly written and unoptimized. Other times, that performance loss was actually an intentional trade-off for accessibility, security, reliability, or other tangible benefits. I'm sure not everyon

Thank you. This is terrific. Wish I knew about it earlier. So much better than using web search engines when I know I'm only looking for results from official documentation. Also so much faster. I think I'll get a copy and run&#x2

Setup a competitor to Cloudflare tunnel. People want to host Internet services from their homes. They don't have static IPs, and/or they don't want to open their home IP address directly to the public, for good reason. You ca

The same thing that always drives layoffs. You are a company. The system we have demands growth. Even very stable and reliable profits are seen as failure. There must be growth. The people who run a company can not press a magic button to i

Raise your hand if you always come up with the perfect API on the first try. If you demand no breaking changes ever, that means you are insisting on staying with an imperfect API forever. Isn’t it better to iterate towards something better?

I grew up before SUV existed. I had siblings. Somehow we survived. Many countries around the world don't have an SUV epidemic. Somehow families there make it work with smaller cars, even today. Many people around the world have large

I love the aesthetic of Borland Turbo TUIs. I went back and tried to use TurboVision some time last year. It was not good, to say the least. Would be pretty cool if VSCode were themable to the extent that WinAmp was, so we could reclaim tha

My question is, what do you count as "doing"? Imagine I win the lottery and hire really smart architects and tell them to make a revolutionary new building. They go on to make some amazing building that gets all sorts of awards an

The podcast boom is only over if you consider the boom to be the money in podcasting. Of course investors aren’t too keen on podcasts seeing how many attempts have failed. Of course advertisers don’t want to pay to put their ads in podcasts

I think we never knew. There was just an illsuion of knowing with trending tags and such. You could maybe know what some subset of people were doing in a particular community. But there are just so many communities, platforms, and languages

A lot of people these days have just been thrown into the fire with Git as the first and only VCS they’ve ever seen. I’m not that old, but I’m old enough to have used RCS, CVS, SVN, then finally Git. I started using Git super early, before
