We definitely had different experiences, then! I would say most forums, even a lot of the mainstream ones, tolerated some level of 4channess. Facepunch forums ~2009 was the first time I thought "wait, are these guys actually Nazis

It really is interesting that our anecdotes can be so different. I'm assuming you're older than me (25) since you mention the pre-web internet, so I'd also guess that by the time you were on the web/pre-web internet you

When reporters on Twitter freak out about the trolls on 4chan like it's some disease infecting our precious wholesome web, I can't help but remember (through my biased lenses of course) when most of the web (that I visited) looked

I used to manage a small IT department. I used LastPass as my personal password manager and purchased licenses for my team. It worked so well that we rolled it out to (most of) the rest of the organization. It made credential sharing (which

Yeah, it popped up for me as it was rising (I couldn't tell you how many likes it had). I thought "wow, I didn't expect Bernie to address this issue in that way." Then I saw the username, felt a little duped but hey, thi

The most egregious example of this that I have seen was this tweet, just the other day https://twitter.com/BernieeSanderrs/status/12197474935308328... I'm not following this account. Nobody I follow is, and n

I recommend the podcast "By The Book" if you're fascinated by/interested in the self-help book genre. The hosts select a self-help book, try to live it to the letter, and report their findings.

I'll let you know when I no longer feel like the chaff! It'd probably be similar to beefield's. Present a problem with a clear success condition and see how resourceful they are in solving it. A failure would be solving the w

Probably learning to use a debugger and decreasing my reliance on print() statements. It's a nonzero initial investment but saves time in the long run. At the team level, probably CI/CD. It forces us to break the monolith into dig

Agreed! I've avoided using 3rd party budgeting apps because I can't bring myself to give them my banking credentials. This would be a much more secure solution. I'm hoping this ships with an API available to customers. I woul

I'd also recommend checking out https://www.ke6mt.us/ This blog was my introduction to Summits on the Air (SOTA), in which operators broadcast from mountain summits.

It can lead to cringe moments as an adult, but more crucially I think it leads to fear of cringe moments, so you never really get the chance to fail, look like a goober, and reorient and try again. It also makes it easier to constantly judg

You're absolutely right. I was homeschooled K-12 and grew up hearing praise because I was good at "carrying myself like an adult" and socializing with adults, but I had no idea how to make friends or socialize with PEERS. Hom

Not everyone can or should homeschool. My wife and I were both homeschooled our entire lives, and we are absolutely not going to homeschool our child. I think many homeschool parents vastly overestimate their ability to educate a child. I k

No kidding! I envy people who can pop off their headphones, talk for a few minutes, and (seemingly) get right back into the groove.

Turn off my phone completely. Put it in a desk drawer. Clean my desk completely. Flip my notebook to a new page. Close all chat/email apps. Open my IDE. Write down the most important thing to do today (check Jira if I'm unsure). O

I completely agree. This site is the first I've read of the new dev tools, and I'm excited to see what the community builds on Source 2.

Agreed. Even after Googling "ACH" I had to reconcile the article's usage of "ACH" as a verb, when it appears to be a electronic payment system.

If the tried and true method of getting paid is through concerts, Patreon, crowdfunding new albums, or selling CDs in the street, I don't think the market is as "unfair" as xhkkffbf is arguing. I agree that this has nothing t

This creates inefficiencies and it just isn't fair to those who just want to sell their creations without holding a concert or drumming up some other scheme to get people to pay. Are you arguing that it's unfair that a business

Yes. I mute my TV while browsing Netflix now. It wouldn't be so bad if you could disable/mute autoplay in the app's settings.
