I have mixed feelings about it. Do I think I got more done in the office? Undoubtably. Do I cherish the fact that I have been able to be home with my young children? More than anything. I did not have children pre-pandemic, and was anxious

Vines were limited to six seconds, so the medium was a little different. That seems easy enough to change however.

I'm skeptical that the algorithm is actually "better" and it's not just that the end users have fed TikTok a ton more data points about their personal likes and dislikes. Of course an app you have used for thousands of h

It doesn't need to be better than TikTok though, just better than xiaohongshu

If X ne Twitter knew what they were doing, now would have been the obvious moment to relaunch Vine.

As a casual observer, I don't understand why YouTube Shorts isn't the obvious successor? The UI is better than TikTok ever was and a lot of the most popular creators are already mirroring their content there?

I learned with a single training wheel on my bike. If I recall my sister had broken the other, and my dad was like "eh, good enough". Obviously I was very young at the time, but I basically remember I'd initially be balanced

> the MrBeast with two backs > haha just kidding. MrBeast does not have sex. YouTube doesn’t allow pornography, so what would be the point? Why was this included in the post? What does it add? It seems … just sort of mean spirited and

They seem pretty generic, like spray and pray. I am sure they just scrape all the developers details from the Chrome Store and bug them all. I don't seem to have saved any of them but I do recall one offering me $6,400 for my extension

I have two Chrome extensions in the store. They're not very popular and are really just features I wanted for my own use. I think I have less than 100 users total. At least once a week I get emails from people - offering money to add t

In Python, default arguments are mutable. That's the ultimate WTF and footgun.

Exactly. Bonus points if the person who started the project moved on and you have to be the one to build and maintain it.

If I had a nickel for every time I have seen a Makefile straight up copied from other projects and modified to "work" while leaving completely unrelated unnecessary build steps and targets in place. It's a major pet peeve of

As someone with a lazy eye it's kind of hilarious to me that this isn't common knowledge.

Sure but what do you actually use office for in your day to day home life? I stopped paying for it in like 2010. I haven't needed to make a formatted document since college, and I graduated in 2006. Google sheets is quite good enough f

by donatj 2y ago
I don't know any individual that pay for office. Google Docs is good enough for 90% of things and free.

Literally. I wrote a fair number of Konfabulator widgets in the early aughts this way. I did a bit of Adobe Air like this as well, everyone insisted it was THE FUTURE, it wasn't.

I am very unclear reading the documentation and clicking around, how do you actually implement the logic? Some sort of JavaScript runtime?

My biggest use for Yahoo Pipes was filtering podcast feeds - namely, filtering out episodes I don't care about. For instance, a podcast I listen to has episodes where they just talk shop and others where they play Dungeons & Dragon

A fair number of years ago now, I had a business idea and bought a domain. Within a couple hours I had a person email me offering me $250 for the domain. I countered with $2,000 saying I would have to rebrand. I'd really done literally

Even older browsers that support SSL often lack up-to-date root certificates, which prevents them from establishing trust with modern SSL/TLS certificates.

I was expecting something about the dog from Microsoft Bob, like a war story from an MS veteran about making the characters work on Windows 3.1

A frustration I have about the current crop of shows and movies generally, but with exceptions, is that so often things seem to just largely happen for no reason other than the writer thought it would be fun/interesting. They lack caus

Recently saw an AS/400 on Facebook Marketplace. I was very tempted to pick it up, but I am trying to reduce AND knew dang well I would have no idea how to interact with the thing. I recall in about 2009 working on a project where the c

The level to which Crypto has complicated my taxes in previous years has largely sucked the fun out of the concept. I just sit on my existing hoard like some sort of digital dragon. A younger, more idealistic me thought some day it would re

We're well into that territory already. Go on Marketplace and try to find a decent Trinitron for less than $200

If you watch the footage, MANY of them appear to full on propel themselves at the ground, not just fall. Something went very wrong. https://www.wesh.com/article/mom-speaks-out-after-son-was-hi...

30 * 500 * 36mb = 560gb and I have 1tb a month on my apparently $6 droplet Correction - from my billing page it's $4.50 a month, from the resize page it is $6 so I'm guessing I am grandfathered in to some older pricing
