I ran a web dev agency back in 2012 building websites for restaurants and SMEs. One of my partners was insistent that we had to support IE6 and also avoid using CSS3 and HTML5. Despite our own analytics showing less than 3% usage. It was th

If you’re doing the nakasendo then just skip Kyoto and stick around in Matsumoto. Head north to Azumino/Tateshina or south to Suwa. https://www.go-nagano.net/en/trip-idea/id16492 Forgot to mention, the unchar

I stopped riding in my late 30s when I borrowed a friend's 50cc scooter and realised it scared the shit out of me. Still can't stop turning my head whenever a StreetFighter or 1099 or something passes by.

This thread reminds me of a friend that was dismissive of anything Apple does. “They didn’t invent it”, “they rebranded someone else’s invention”, “maybe they invented it but all those features are just marketing”. No, he has never used own

I gain around 5kgs each time I’m in Singapore, even just for a week. Singaporean food is incredibly unhealthy. Slurp down that laksa yo.

I had a similar experience in Monza, Italy. Was taking a walk around some old church and a guy was giving an explanation in English so I stopped to listen. They started ushering the entire group into the crypts underground so I just went wi

I disagree with your disagreement. I started off by memorising the hiragana table, then went hardcore. Got a simple manga (Hikaru no go) and a Japanese to English dictionary and just winged it. Initially it took me a month to read an entire

My wife downloads plugins for every little thing. One to hide hide the title from a page, another to display a gallery of images. Often she’ll forget and download a similar one again and they all break. Also instead of making multiple posts

I've only just realised people mean UTC0 when they say store/use dates in UTC. For some reason, I've always thought it meant storing it in the ISO format. YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss.sssZ which I've always done.

I've used the default Calendar app on my iDevices since forever and it has always done the timezone conversions auto-magically for me. The only extra bit of work I have to do is convert the date to my local time zone during input.

Author here. As mentioned elsewhere, Japanese SaaS rarely ever deal with timezones because there's only 1 timezone. And I think this was originally built this way (using YYYY-MM-DD for filtering) to avoid having to think about time zon

I have been in projects where I am the sole dev, and I still create PRs and self review them before merging. I do this because I am human and make mistakes.

Yes. You were stubborn for applying for jobs beyond you. Your persistence led you to finding that amazing job.

It depends. Basecamp 1 was nice to use compared to Redmine or excel sheets. It stood out during that era because everything else on the market was terrible. Around Basecamp 2, competition starting catching up. It still was better than Jira
