> Nicky (from the movie Casino): Where the f** do you get off talking to people about me behind my back going over my head? I'm guessing if he does a chargeback he gets banned from AirBnB.

Those large word decks can be useful though. Download deck, immediately suspend all cards, and then start un-suspending cards as you learn the words. I also add notes to the cards as I go. I have a similar strategy for the Ultimate Geograph

It shouldn't even be 1 million. What value could one person even hypothetically add, that would justify a multi-million dollar salary? Not even mentioning the fact that Firefox is losing market share.

The amount of time C#/.NET developers waste on abstracting away all kinds of shit, creating three different layers for "separation of concerns", having 10 projects in some basic web app solution.. my god, they truly are sucke

As a person who primarily uses Windows, I want my Mac's dock to be more like the taskbar. Not the other way round.

There's probably so many of us, who have just quietly moved to macs out of frustration. Two Windows laptops in a row over several years, I suffered with this sleep bullshit. Never again!

My old Lenovo X6 Carbon had support for S3 sleep. Maybe you could go to a store and check all the laptops until you find one that supports S3.

Limits it to the owners of the instances, who are just as (more) vulnerable to pressure from cancel campaigns. Remember when Gab tried to join the fediverse? A bunch of instance owners got together and agreed to betray the entire premise of

The old one was good for keeping your previously learned skills sharp, because you had to periodically revisit older lessons to keep the icon from showing as shattered. However, when all you’re doing is revisiting old lessons, you stop maki

Judging by the way "certain people" are responding to this, they must believe Elon personally sits in front of a computer overseeing all moderation decisions.

For all the pain one has to endure to implement event sourcing, one would sure hope it might have at least one or two benefits. Also, what happens if somebody nukes the event table? How is your precious event sourcing supposed to save you t

Occasionally I accidentally stumble on to Reels or YouTube Shorts, and it's amazing how addictive it is to keep scrolling through them. Surprises me that engagement isn't higher.

"The said we had a new client, they had a weird name." This is the material piece of information which lead to the fix. Your TDD simply made it faster to locate the offending line. Seems like a really poor justification for TDD im

Bank reconcilliation in Xero has no "auto match if reference and date are the same" option, so I (very crudely) scripted one. It'll run until it encounters a mismatch (which for the company I work for is basically never). Pas

A website design that perfectly captures how programmers feel about Java. Unremarkable, bland, corporate, boring. No passion, no feeling of progress. Just boring old Java being boring old Java. Microsoft's .NET site is far more appeali

At an old job we affectionately referred to the process of setting up the environment and getting started as "figging" (short for configuring). It's the worst part of any dev's job exactly because it's not programmi
