Uh, you kind of already do if you don't want to get the scary "unknown publisher" thing, which hides the "yes, I really want to install it" inside the "more info" box. Not even the decency of an "adv

I'm always disappointed that the geometric growth in spinning magnet disks slowed - if the growth curve from the '80s to 2010 had continued to today we'd have petabyte HDDs now.

Yes, things like that are common in Pratchett's writing. Death speaks in ALL CAPS. Death's bosses speak in italics. I. Gods speak in II. Commandments The character speaking in the above quote is Dorfl, a golem, who speaks in Title

I hope we'll see them set up as an Identity Provider for oAUTH/SAML/OpenID/whatever other stupid plethora of single-sign-on protocols there are. It's disappointing to always see Facebook and Google for single-sign-

That shouldn't even be web application you should have some kind of off-the-shelf CMS already in use that you can rely on for forms like that.

I can still run windows applications that are decades old. If you don't want to support legacy stuff, don't insinuate yourself into global standards. If this was just Android that would be an issue between Google and their develo

There's a perverse irony that Google is as responsible as anybody for cramming a crazy amount of new stuff into the HTML/CSS/browser spec that everybody else has to support forever. If they were one of the voices for "th

Actually while I use it heavily for shell scripting, it's also also my go-to for python-style scripting too. Mostly because it's the one I'm most familiar with because of professionally doing DevOps on an MS stack with a lot

I've pretty much embraced PowerShell for scripting. The language is warty as hell and seems to be entirely made of sharp edges but I've gotten used to it and it does have a lot of excellent ideas.

Python was established as a fun and sensible language that was usable and batteries-included at a time when everything else was either expensive or excruciating, and has been coasting in that success ever since. If you'd only coded in

My other big dream would be allowing multiple WHERE clauses that would be semantically ANDed together because that's what would happen if you filtered a result set twice.

SQL's shortcomings aren't just syntax and the convention of SCREAMING KEYWORDS. There's the lack of algebraic types (particularly galling given the bizarre three-value boolean algebra created by its strange null-handling), t

Anybody who replaces the hoary old albatross of SQL without throwing out the relational algebra baby with the bathwater gets my support. I hope this goes far.

It works for this context, which is about an experiment that is fundamentally a bit silly. 10 years ago this would've been all memes, and 20 years ago it would've been performatively elaborate insults. I'll definitely take

I'm tempted to make a keybind for this. Then I might actually start using snake_case instead of CamelCase, which on a certain level I know is better I just hate typing it.

Case insensitivity is so important. Underscore is just capital hyphen.

Is there any more agent-oriented approach where it just push/pulls a git repo like a normal person would, instead of running it on my machine? I'd like to keep it a bit more isolated and having it push/pull its own branches
