Nah, port 8080 because your ISP is blocking port 80 to try and prevent you from running a home webserver.

The "old web" to me was GeoCities and Angelfire, it was customizing your NeoPets shop, it was hosting a web server on your home network on port 8080. It was mailing a check to an address you found on a website in hopes that you&#x

I'm a longtime Java dev that gets tossed on Python projects from time to time. Python for fun stuff at home is great, but in enterprise it's a waste of time. It cannot be overstated the value of compiler assisted debugging when wo

You're right, but for me it's less a comparison between present day and before airplanes existed and more a comparison between present day and when air travel became common (sometime around the 60s). Of course we've made prog

Nope. If I did, I'd probably set something like FieldStation42 up and roll my own retro Disney channel for them. Kids today already have so, so much more content than existed when I was a kid... Whereas I mostly only had Disney growing

I wish they went back to just Mickey mouse... just for kids. No one says, "I'm compromising on my art" quite like modern Disney. Just look up "the companies Disney owns". Gonna be a hard pass for me.

Totally, it's always about trade-offs. It takes a decent amount of time programming to become comfortable choosing the language based on the task rather than tailoring the task to the language.

Python is used heavily in data science (and a lot of other places) because people who go to university for non software engineering disciplines get taught Python because it's "the easy language that already has libraries for this

100%. Java has an amazing standard library, amazing IDE support, AOT compilation, JIT optimizations, static typing, runs much faster generally, and supports multi-threading... seems like a no-brainer to me.

Python at number 1 makes me cringe... In my experience, Python is not a language that I would use for anything other than a script or some solo PoC. I would absolutely never use it on code expected to exceed 1000 lines, code that's mai

Flying has become such a terrible experience that I avoid it all costs. I'd love to take more trips, but the service is so poor that I can't justify supporting it more than absolutely necessary. I doubt anything will change though

Touchscreens are only useful in instances where I don't want to carry around peripherals; i.e. mobile devices. If it's installed in the dash of a car, it's not mobile and there is a better way to interface w/ it.

You tow it away while it's on fire? I'm wondering if that's even possible. You can spray the vehicle w/ foam and then cover it and then maybe you could move it w/o reignition? Seems kinda risky / might require

I have an aftermarket head unit like you describe, but I wouldn't have installed it if my car didn't already have a space for it in the dash and a whole harness wired and ready to connect. I leave it off unless I need to pull up a

I get your point, but I think it does create a lower bar to clear than if there were no screens at all. A software flash is quick, easy, and cheap compared to installing and integrating your own custom equipment. More people will pay $500 t

I don't have any links on my lock screen, but some settings links do open in Edge; others open in my chosen default browser. This inconsistency should be fixed, but I'm not sure what a browser choice screen does to fix this issue.

Does it though? I use Windows and this has not been my experience for many years. There was a time, quite some time ago, when resetting the default browser was pretty common. Do you know of a reproducible way to trigger either of your examp

I don't really see what's complicated about installing a browser and setting it as the default the way we've all been doing it for the past 20+ years?

Is it disingenuous? I'd say perhaps hyperbolic or satirical. I remember a time when cars came with DVD players that wouldn't play if the car wasn't in park. People didn't like that so they worked around it. The lockout s

I cannot believe the amount of screens that have been allowed into cars. Touchscreens that beckon not only for your attention, but also your interaction are somehow fine to just put wherever in the car. It's illegal to use my phone for

I currently own a 2012 VW GTI that I bought new 11 years ago. It has 123k miles and lots of modifications. I recently compiled a short list of both EVs and ICE vehicles to compare against it; the Toyota GR Corolla was on my list: 2023 Toyot

This sounds like a generalization to me. During my time writing software professionally I've had good, bad, and neutral managers. I've found most of my good managers at companies that produce software as a product. These managers
