Also thankful. For so many years I used Gnome and KDE apps exclusively because I wanted a uniform look. Only now, after many years of tolerating web-based UIs, and switching to i3 am I appreciating the KDE ecosystem. Generally every time I’

They have that if you’re SMTS (L7) and above. You can actually use it, but you have to have a good manager and advocate for yourself to take the benefit that is in your job description, otherwise it’s just a nice benefit on paper and probab

There are definitely people there who are relishing in this change. Such a sad mentality, but I remember reading plenty of whine posts about why it’s unfair for Heroku to not use GUS or, why does X acquisition still get to have free lunch.

I worked at a large company as it was implementing GDPR compliance, and I can attest that it was a nightmare of drudgery. I think it's interesting that our entire tech stack is designed to assume the business has a right to keep user d

Probably means browsing within the app. Although the fyp is the meat of it, you can also browse topics and hashtags.

So, they're just fleecing right-wingers by marketing them anything that's opposite to "the liberals"? I can't imagine making my coffee, beverage, or food preferences based on political affiliation.

Italians drink espresso, and I don't know about Austria, but Turkey, Cuba and Vietnam drink heavily sweetened coffee. The coffee from those places are delicious in their own right, but don't exactly compare to light roast drip cof

Given the choice, I'll actually get a small cup of black coffee from McD's anytime. At least it's only a couple dollars.

If you went into a wood oven Neapolitan pizza place, huffed over the menu when you couldn't find "meat lovers" and then finally said "I want, like, normal, I don't know, East Coast pizza" you'd probably ge

There's always a more ignorant user. I don't find this argument persuasive. The non-filesystem-centric data storage systems I'm familiar with are far worse. Instead of portable files which you can do with as you please, you&#

This is interesting to see, and reminds me that I really have no idea how to sell myself. I spent 7 years on this exact thing--a project to archive a community Slack server to a crawlable website, even with full-text search that (IMO) worke

Of course, so get the best night’s sleep that you can, but don’t be distressed about the irreversible brain damage you suffered staying up late as a college student.

Oxygen is also a poisonous gas that is slowly oxidizing your body, but as far as we know, humans have been exposed to it constantly since prehistory. I'm sure the same could be said for sleep loss, whether because they are stressed abo

Email marketing in general blows my mind. Marketers typically have absolutely no respect for consent, and the costs are completely borne by the recipient. The whole industry depends on dark patterns, shady list sharing, and scraping your em

Griffith is an American citizen and he spoke at a crypto conference in Pyongyang. That’s a little more nuanced than the “US imprisoned an Ethereum developer.” You’d probably be guilty of evading sanctions if you participated commercially in

My personal hunch is that the only gap is a developer training gap. Since ~2014 there were a bunch of copy-pasted bootcamps selling "MEAN stack" or "JAM stack" or whatever, but all of them centered around JavaScript. It

Some of my favorite websites about cycling were created by now deceased webmasters. Luckily they are mirrored, but I’m very thankful that they used regular old HTML and images and aren’t rotting after a mere 11 years.

This is both a flippant hot take and, and weirdly rings true to me. The wifi password was the bottom of Maslows pyramid for me throughout my teens and twenties. It's easy to think that there's the world of stuff and interests, and

I agree, and I'm surprised to see so much positive feedback in the comments here. Being disinterested in 99.9% of what other people care about isn't special or interesting. It's just refusing to meet people where they are. If

I can’t say I remember the terms saying anything to the effect of granting Microsoft a perpetual unlimited license in addition to whatever license I package with the code when I signed up. Not doubting it, but I would have expected that to

I feel scammed too. At this point it should be obvious, but I’m finally savvy to the fact that every tech company that offers anything free, and you use it to create “your” content, is not your friend and you don’t even own the works you ho

Classic maladaptive behavior. Being prickly with people who are curious about me because it was a self-protective behavior I learned as a kid when someone started quizzing me is one of mine. I second your assertion that one of life’s highes

There isn't, except that it makes it possible to selectively enable them on certain sites. They don't bother me for things that I use regularly and already have them cached, like my bank. In fact, without them a lot of UI elements

I disabled web fonts by default in uBlock Origin. The internet is so much better without them. I selectively enable them for sites I use frequently that have special icon fonts that mess up the interface if they can't load.
