Somewhat in the same spirit, macOS (and Rosetta 2 for Linux) won’t boot without a secret haiku given as a key during the boot process which was designed to prevent you from installing the OS on a random Intel box. (ourhardworkbythesewordsgu

If it helps, it may have been for a good reason. Microsoft used to name the folder that stored user directories "Documents and Settings" so developers would be forced to make sure they could handle paths with spaces in them. Now,

Reminds me of that story someone (Forstall?) told about Steve at the apple cafeteria. He would go there every day for lunch and they had some program where they’d take your lunch out of your paycheck. Steve started laughing about it one day

I go to one about once a week to get out of the house (paying the ad-hoc rate), and they make it impossible to get a membership or even talk about how much a single person office would be (guessing out of my price range, but I actually have

…does Firefox have this? I use it because Edge’s dev tools lock up on my work machine, if it does it would help a lot.

Azure Repos feels like it's not getting a lot of updates anymore. They still only support ssh-rsa host keys for SSH Git, which seems like it would be something to fix after several years of OpenSSH having deprecated it. (But merge trai
