I've experienced both: One time two very competent guys shows up on site and let me reproduce the issue, agrees it is a serious bug and promises to take care of it. Next time I get connected with what seems to be two part time students

I'm fairly sure that according to even the old (by internet standards) American CAN-SPAM act, if you cannot easily unsubscribe then it is illegal. I might however have misremembered something so please if someone knows, feel free to fi

I being me, I settled for 7 minutes which even I think is a short interval but I think empty records were OK so I could just hit enter which would mean "still working on the last thing I wrote".

And with this, finally certain people can stop saying Safari is the new IE6 because it is lagging badly. Because that title is reserved for a certain behemoth that enjoys the same popularity as IE6 once had and which IMO is probably more da

You can always sync over local (or remote) ssh or fileshares or even zip up smaller repos, sneakernet them over to those who need them, unpack it there and pull from the unzipped folder. The pros who maintain git uses email(!), but I think

Correct. Annotations (like @Entity in JPA/Hibernate) and reflection is what I mean. Several Java libraries use annotations in a good way and also once one masters Java, they aren't too bad to make oneselves. Reflection is about ta

Cool! I used to have my own back in 2005/2006 I remember. Mine was written in AHK and worked by periodically asking me what I was doing. Since then I switched to Manic Time which just logs the open application and window title. (In the

Manic Time is one such tool and the free version is completely without distraction. When you want you open it and get a colored timeline that you can hover over to see what program was active and the title of the active window. I pay for pr

Interestingly, if you call you glue "reflection" and "annotations" or "attributes" and not "combinators" and use them in a modern language with good editor support, it becomes a reason to deride a lan

The amount of companies, including serious banks, that doesn't understand this is mind blowing. Just the other day I had to verify with a Norwegian bank that the KYC form (which IMNSHO was utter nonsense as usual) that they linked to w

I clearly didn't read your whole post. Have my upvote. That said I think my point still stands: If 1 Swede and 1 server can do a much better job than Google in significant niches such as history, Linux and Git, then maybe a hundred Swe

I have fought so much with Brother (multi purpose machines) back in the early 2000s that I can still get reminded about it by ex-colleagues or users I helped back then, so this is certainly a huge change, but I have seen the recommendations

Not spitting on the floor also is less important than a lot of other things. But it is so simple and considered baseline behavior so I would still support yelling at you if you spit at the floor even while the war is still ongoing an we hav

As a number of people have already pointed out, nostr is not "web3" (i.e. crypto grifting). I'd go even further and say nostr is closer to what web3 should have been: technological innovation to simplify the construction of n
