I always wondered about those crypto ads for shit coins. I was walking through Dubai airport back in November/December last year and I saw "Floki Inu" on pretty much every screen, they looked like this [0]. I assumed it was s

Yeah, when they did the big performance rewrite(quantum?) and killed pentadactyl (vim mode), I was really upset. I remember using Firefox 52-esr for as long as I could to keep my workflow the same. In my mind, that was peak Firefox. Yes per

Is this an American thing? Many of my friends now days were previous colleagues but I see your opinion a lot. "People at work aren't your friends" etc. I wonder if this is because everyone drives to work in the US, so drinkin

I put as little as humanly possible on my CV to reduce the chance of getting asked about stuff I have pretty much completely forgotten about. I hate preparing for interviews and don't want to brush on my past. For example, I spent a ye

Argh! Sorry about that! Our CEO likes to mess around with the landing page as we're still experimenting with our messaging. We're struggling to consciously describe how we are different. We keep him away from actual product code ;

I primarily use Firefox, but I usually have 3 browsers open: Chrome/Firefox/Epiphany to try and make sure stuff works correctly across all 3 major engines. Unfortunately stuff still slips through into Safari land. I am not a langu

During the very early days of Android (2010, I think ) I made some terrible arcade games. They made about 100$ a month from ads and I sold the rights for distribution in Korea for 600$ a game to a company that no longer exists (ubi-nuri).

A lot of work on Wine was done by Codeweavers and as far as I know, Valve subcontracted Proton development to them. Both wine and proton are open source and patches flow both ways with a lot of the same people working on both. I'm not

That's fair. My parents left the collapsing USSR with nothing and ended up in Australia. Materially poor with no support network or generational wealth, but well educated and with a clear path to the middle class. I still think I/

FWIW, I agree with timmytokyo's assessment of 'heavy process'. I actually worked in a place where PR's need to be tied to tickets and updating documentation is the perfect example of where it sucks. Imagine you're t
