Oh man, I would LOVE for all APIs to always return real HTTP response codes. It's crazy frustrating to get a 200 OK with an empty object or something instead of a payload with the expected/agreed-upon format. If someone can pars

That's how I feel about "performant". Unfortunately I'll never stop seeing such jargon every day or two, working in tech. It is what it is, I guess. :\

Nice, so many good photos in that post! Thanks for sharing :D

Just today I was thinking about XP and the phrase "Fisher-Price" came to mind. I liked XP's UI, even as whimsical and toy-like (and easy to make fun of) as it was. I'd prefer if computers and OSes retained the whimsy a

Oh, good find, thanks. I guess flagged/dead posts don't show in search results >_>

Did I miss something? The most recent post with the word "banned" in the title was apparently 5 days ago...

"This may take up to 40 days"??? what?! Permanent deletion of local files may take over a month?

Oh right! Nice. I've only played it once or twice, but now I'm kinda thinking I should give it another try -- forgot how good it looks. People at Cyan were playing this (and you joined up)?? That's awesome haha

I know what you mean and I've definitely thought the same. Wealthy people often have views of life and the world quite distinct from, well, not-so-wealthy/struggling people. That said, from my limited knowledge of the history of

Yeah I mean I've got light sunburns on completely cloudy days while hiking. UV goes through clouds no problem, much to the surprise of many.

"Stay honest, keep smiling and pay your own successes forward" Love this mentality. I've not seen such a concise phrase to describe such a positive perspective that truly embraces the "gift" of life. Like, be real

I've got all three books but only got the hardcover of the Book of Atrus (and a recent anniversary edition reprint of it, just for fun). Wish I got hardcovers of Ti'ana and D'ni!

open source FPS, maybe sauerbraten or openarena? or perhaps nexuiz… those three are the ones I've encountered the most - all fun!

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure your eBay and PayPal accounts will get banned if you chargeback a transaction.

Oh man, I was getting in on that Mastodon thread at the time (particularly scrutinizing the "receipt", like how it shows fresh creases/folds despite having supposedly been in a plastic sleeve and squished between pages in a b

Hilariously I've spent hours troubleshooting why my Pi running Pi-hole is intermittently inaccessible from my iPhone, despite being able to connect to the Pi from other machines. I still have no clue why. Last night I finally capture

right, if I can type into it, I expect to be able to paste into it, like every other text field in every OS GUI of the past, what, 40 years?

Nice, that's great! People who compose complex, lengthy pieces always impress me. It's such a cool skill, and there's something so transcendental about it, somehow.

Yeah, the entire sky and mountainside was bright pink, since the snow was reflecting the pink aurora. Very cool. Oh, here, I figured out there's an "archive" that can be browsed through. Here's the scene at the time I

It's usually my first thing to watch on a new monitor or projector or whatever device I might want to see how well it shows a film. Another typical "test watch" is Vampire Hunter D. That and GitS are amazing anime films, IM

Go take some photos with your camera -- it will pick up brilliant colours from what looks like super dim/grey "clouds/glow" to our eyes :)

by amatecha 2y ago
Yeah, camera sensors (depending on filtering) are far more sensitive to the dim light of the aurora than our eyes. Still means you can get utterly amazing photography there already! :)

Oh dang, I didn't know plastic keyboards can produce booming, auditorium-filling sound covering a broad spectrum of frequencies, somehow perfectly replicating the audio produced by striking padded hammers against carefully-tuned/t

No one's like crying out here or jumping off a bridge. People are just kinda ticked, or disappointed. There's no "cancel culture" happening here. Why such a reactionary interpretation of the ad's poor reception?

I recently got a new iPhone. I'm picturing Steve Jobs yelling at this thing nearly every day. It's mind-blowing how poor the user experience has become compared to early versions of iOS! :\

Logic was the absolute best for a while (IMO). Those were good times. Just don't update. I still have OS X 10.4 machines with expensive upgrades. If you're doing serious/pro-level music creation on Mac you're not ins

Yeah, a single piano is like a portal to another world manifested by beautiful, expressive music. Possibly a life-changing object for a person (or even a whole family) to receive one in their home. It's an insult to the arts to sugge

Today's "1984" ad would have to include someone throwing a sledgehammer through an iMac, and similarly destroying an iPhone. It wouldn't be an advertisement for any corporation though, because a truly game-changing act
