Sorry to hear for their loss. It's tough losing coworkers. Feels like we've lost more than our fair share over the past several years. My old boss died suddenly in an accident a number of years ago. Well-liked guy, been there for

What's going on with the title? Looks like a mix of Japanese and Chinese but with some weird formatting errors... could just be gibberish?

My company used to use National. It was so nice. You could just walk into the garage, get into a car, and leave. I used the National Emerald Aisle for years, domestic and overseas, and also was able to use it for personal travel (on my own

I definitely agree that not being able to capture "UI/UX shouldn't suck" in a formal requirement is a problem. Developers have to be vigilant, or get a lot of help from QA (typically the latter). In my experience, though

This is only somewhat related, but a couple years ago somebody at my company who many people had worked with and liked (he'd been around for a long time) died unexpectedly over a holiday weekend. Our management decided the best way to

I still use the Zojirushi rice cooker I grew up with after my parents bequeathed it to me. We probably got it around 2000 give or take a few years. So definitely bumping on 20 years.

I remember I used to use a kanji memorization app on Facebook in the 2000s. It was pretty neat. Too bad stuff like that is gone now.

I had a coworker bring a durian shake or something like that to work. This was probably a month or so after he started. I don't think anybody ever really forgave him.

Not religious, but young enough that I still worried about using swears. But yes, US. I generally thought "hell" was considered a low-grade swear everywhere in US but could be wrong.

I remember being 10 and writing in to complain about the term "hell" from the DK Rap. Pretty sure I got a response apologizing for the language, and indeed "Hell" was replaced with "Heck" in later renditions (e

You can get into a similar state on MacOS by pressing a key multiple times in a row (option I think). It just quietly disables a large number of keys. I figured it out by accident one day because I assigned the key as my "push to talk&

We started using Teams at work and its UI is awful compared to Discord. The worst thing is notifications -- by default you get a popup for every single message that somebody sends. So then you change the settings to only pop up when someb

I was mad when I upgraded Firefox and suddenly I couldn't see the boundaries between my tabs anymore. I have a lot of tabs. Glad to see that there is a trick in Firefox 91 to restore the old style, otherwise I would have just stayed on
