Interesting - I never knew that was the purpose of Reddit gold. I feel like a donation drive with direct acknowledgement that it would keep the site private and free of external financial interests would have provoked me to donate. I though

I can’t help but think this is the end for that site. It started off with a very old school minimalist designed forum vibe and has been devolving into dark patterns and advertisements as of late. I guess good things can’t stay free forever

I often tell people that muscle is built in the kitchen, not in the gym. Stick to compound exercises and consume a high protein caloric surplus diet.

It's true - China's numbers, unsurprisingly, really don't give light to how badly they were impacted. I remember reading about how they were building brand new hospitals to cope. Literally building a brand new hospital. http

Has anyone taken this course (or a similar one provided by Mark and Jess) before? I'm interested to hear your thoughts on it.

> How about a joke in the context of saving money that said "Must've been done by a Jew" That's not really the same at all. The difference being one is a self-deprecating joke while the other is not. To your second po

Seems like a poorly misinterpreted joke about how people will often mention a younger age for their birthday when they’re getting into their older ages? Is that the joke? If this joke is told by women more often than men (in my experience i

The best managers I have had were ones who had previously worked as developers. While the most clueless ones had zero programming background. I tend to encounter the latter in smaller companies that have revenue pipelines outside of tech an

I wonder if this could be considered as a pseudo index fund of the general tech sector as they essentially exist to serve tech-oriented companies.

I'm inclined to agree - I use breakpoints all the time when I'm debugging JS code and it is most definitely an invaluable tool. It can be a bit cumbersome to setup and it can be a little buggy especially when you're working w

This isn't just specific to operations, I experience this amongst other developer teams as well. I've had previous coworkers approach me about API "bugs" because they didn't bother to troubleshoot their app code and

I'm surprised this type of development hasn't been driven underground/anonymous into the warez scene.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but sounds like bad gas released from the ground caused the oceans to acidify, destroying most species, this in turn caused land animals to follow suit.

This makes you wonder - did the whole save the trees movement give rise to a far dangerous alternative, the mass usage of plastics?

This happened to us on an update submission we made. We hadn’t changed anything with the sign in screen and they suddenly rejected us for it. Turned out they were just being more strict about the actual styling of the Apple sign in button a

They had only just introduced plugins when I used it so I guess they weren’t as advanced back then. I can see they’ve added in many new features since. Can’t say I’ll use it again but good on them for continuing to improve it.

I had to use this for a client project once (per their request) a few years ago and as a developer it was an absolute nightmare. But I guess it's not meant for developers... There were so many quirks and limitations that I wouldn'

I went to my first live orchestra concert with solos by a violinist and a pianist just before the pandemic started and I have to say it's really something everyone should try at least once in their life. I found the whole experience ve

I don't think it's fair to compare the users of Twitter's service with Google as a company. Those are two very different groups of people. One are users, one are employees. I feel it's also worth mentioning, focusing onl

I wonder if Microsoft would ever release a flavor of Windows targeted at the user who wants a minimalist but equally powerful OS which gives the user absolute control. Someone who wants local only accounts, bare-bones UI, no tablet or touch

> This flow was designed to take advantage of the S3 trigger system and break each action into a small Lambda. The email flows from S3 => Lambda => SES so the underlying design seems to prohibit sending of emails directly from SES.

Am I reading this correctly, you have to upload a JSON file to an S3 bucket to send an email? That’s not really email then, is it?

Glad to see others feel this way - I swear often enough myself but I find this type of writing very unattractive despite it being a joke. I had to stop reading. I was wondering if I'm just getting old or if it's actually a bit tir

Yeah I had installed Windows 3.1 and tried IE and Netscape Navigator Gold. Linux might be a whole other battle to get working but might be a fun project to attempt.

Viewing the source of that webpage really takes you back. Plain old HTML. It's nostalgic beauty. I recently fixed up an old 486 I purchased off eBay but it was bittersweet when I managed to get it connected to the 'net. Most websi
