On the flip side, what percent of RSS feed generators actually support conditional requests? I've written many over the last twenty years and I can tell you plainly, none of the ones I wrote have. I never even considered the option o

I do run a popular blog, and a $5 a month Digital Ocean droplet handles millions of requests per month without breaking a sweat.

About a year ago I got an email from an actual Coinbase email address telling me that my account had been compromised. It included a case number. Trying to log in with my username and password did not work. Moments later I get a phone call,

This seems like vastly unnecessary legislation to me. There are far more important issues to worry over, but some politician failed to get a reservation and decided "there aught to be a law".

I have a cli tool I maintain that finds visually similar images. As a fun experiment several years ago I extracted all the frames of Skyfall and all the frames of the first Harry Potter movie. I then reconstructed Harry Potter frame by fram

I see nothing wrong with that syntax? Just avoid the extensions. All you really need to do is get text from A to B and it's great for that.

Good little write up. I was a little confused at first because the link is anchored to the bottom of the page, I presume accidentally.

That's sort of my hesitation with the idea > One hundred forty attempters (35.6%) were classified as wishing they had not made the attempt and being glad to be alive, 168 (42.7%) were classified as ambivalent, and 85 (21.6%) were cl

I don't think much of that matters in the day to day. What we do have is food, clean water, climate controlled housing, and sanitation - all better than the richest royalty of the time. In revolutionary France one particular cold snap

About ten years ago I gave up sugary sodas "for my health" at the behest of my doctor. Almost immediately, I gained a pretty significant amount of weight, rather than losing any. The opposite of what I was told would happen. I am

Cooking food on par with a restaurant can take literal hours. Turning on a TV/Home console takes seconds. The convenience factor is not there.

Maybe be should have been though. Files shouldn't be labeled as compliant with a standard and then not be. Full stop. The standard that is JSON does not support comments. Don't call something JSON that isn't. Use one of the m

JSON5 would be ok if that's all it did. They added so much additional unnecessary complication that it undermines the simplicity of JSON that makes it good.

No lol. Not "The" Overwatch League. I should have maybe chosen my words more wisely, though I'm pretty sure they referred to themselves as a "league" though. My wife is asleep, otherwise I would ask her the correct

Don't forget their handling of Overwatch. Overwatch launched, for pay, I believe at $39.99 USD. It was very fun very micro-transactions are optional and purely cosmetic game. I bought it day one. Then they saw the success of PUBG and

The amount of neat things my synth friends do, including controlling lighting, with control voltage has me dreaming of a world where knobs and levers and UIs generally were way more customizable than we have now.

I recently had the following song enter the rotation of my automatic playlist. I am nearly 40 and I am pretty sure it falls firmly into "Gen-Z music" but it is without a doubt the most fascinating thing I have heard in maybe a dec

I don't think the problem is lack of funds. I live in the same district I attended thirty years ago, and my daughter will soon attend. It's a very well-to-do district, and funding per student is comparatively through the roof. Eve

I have talked about it here a couple times before but my last couple doctors have generally spent more time typing than talking to me. They've become more stenographer than physician. I have lamented how the need for record keeping has

This is all within a relatively small single team. As I said however, I could require review from specific people I know review but they're already at their wits end. Also having to explain why certain devs are required without it smel

My team has a bike shedding sort of problem where a 100 loc PR will sometimes get scrutinized to hell, but a 3,000 loc PR will get LGTM'd by enough of the team to be merged before anyone that actually cares gets a chance to look at it.

I've got a more limited and performant library I maintain. It frequently comes in first in speed comparisons. It can only tell you things actually included in the UA string itself as it's just be a parser and not a "knowledge

I am going to call it, Microsoft has not been particularly good stewards of GitHub. They have over complicated so much of it to please corporate customers that it has really lost what made it great to begin with. It used to make everything

I'm giggling at the idea you'd need Kubernetes for a mere two servers. We don't run any application with less than two instances for redundancy. We've just never seen the need for Kubernetes. We're not against it

Even in small tech. I worked for an agency in the aughts and we would put up websites at roughly the pace of 1 a week. In my time there I'd guess I'd personally built a little over 100 websites and developed our internal framework
