People don't _require_ furniture or a haircut (i.e. you can survive without them). Everyone _needs_ to eat. Opting out of knowing how to take care of your own basic needs just because you can currently pay someone else to do it seems v

I understand why one wouldn't necessarily target users who just need a contact form for noncommercial use. However, you could have a business product that allows for team access to forms + support that offsets the cost of the super low

A forms service is not just useful to businesses. I'd love to have a real contact form on my website, but it's all static and I don't really want to run the infrastructure myself. $100/year is _way_ too much for that cas

It's still completely stateless from the dev standpoint (even if it's not truly stateless under the hood). It's more like a caches connection if that makes sense.

You can do that in PHP. The PHP database library has a persistent mode that you can use. See the last paragraph of example 3 + example 4 here: https://www.php.net/manual/en/pdo.connections.php

I've been using that exact adapter for several months now and I'm pretty happy with it. Carries power and data for my home setup + I have a separate one just for power for my mobile setup. What were your coworkers' complaints

I recommend using yadm. It's basically just git under the hood, but it has some nice features that allow you to e.g. encrypt sensitive files, use different files depending on the OS/host, etc.

University of the People has a free-ish CS program. You might look into that. It's zero tuition, but you have to pay $100/exam (or at least that's what it was when I was looking at it).

I got an el-cheapo one from Staples. Same idea, same shape, etc. It helps a lot, but it takes some fiddling to dial in the right amount of tension pulling your shoulders back.

I played through Epistory (find it on Steam) a couple of times and my typing speed improved. I didn't really have to try that hard and playing the game is pretty enjoyable. The same studio has another one that's a similar style (

FYI something is wrong with the text on this page. The name of each product shows up initially, and then fades out so that the page looks like this: https://monosnap.com/file/thwN7af0skMGrGn73arhYOF2GoDU1t

I used mercurial quite a bit back in 2010. It's nice, but I don't see the value in sinking a bunch of time into it these days. Every one of the projects that I interact with regularly are in a Git repo on some kind of Git hosting

brew install github/gh/gh is a shortcut for brew tap github/gh && brew install gh It has worked for several years now, but I'm not sure if it's documented anywhere.

shrug I'm probably never going to work at either of those places. For pretty much everywhere else, Git works just fine. Maybe if I play my cards right, I'll use git for the rest of my career. If not, maybe there will be somethin

That's a really great point: I'd love the infotainment system in my car to boot faster. But that is also not "the single top-priority software engineering problem" for me, either.

I just picked up a kneeling chair and it's been an adjustment. It's nice though -- it sort of forces you to keep your spine and neck in a good position. This is the one I got: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product

I haven't used it yet, actually. I'm hoping that it's good enough for what I'm doing (which is more or less just a fancy CRUD app), but if it's not, then I can always wait on the web app until it's ready.

Do you sleep enough? Are you sure? Do you sleep well? Are you sure? Do you have a sleep disorder? Are you sure? For me, answering "are you sure?" on all of those questions involved talking to a sleep specialist and the answer was

Potentially. They're both marketed to the same audience and they're often sold as no upfront cost, which can be really appealing. It's completely anecdotal, but I know several people that have chosen bootcamps over books and

Zed Shaw writes books targeted at new programmers. From my standpoint, he has a financial incentive to not appreciate bootcamps, especially those with ISAs and similar that don't require up front investment from students because they a
