I remember both those games from when I was about 12 and I also remember being endlessly frustrated with the mechanics. I couldn't get controls in order, seemed to fail at almost every sport (for some reason, I remember high jump vivid

Yes, but in this case it's not the problem. It's more about not accepting `?ns=docker.io` as a query parameter on an endpoint, so a rather small and isolated technical issue.

In case someone from Gitlab is watching: there is a long-standing issue that Gitlab Dependency Proxy does not work with containerd rewriting ( https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/350485 ), making

I'm firmly on the RSS bandwagon though. The shift comes from much more limited time and I need to filter what I can use it for.

Gina Trapani! That's a name I haven't heard in a long time and at first couldn't place correctly -- for some reason, my mind went to Groklaw, but Lifehacker was the correct answer. Maybe I'm idolizing my own youth and it

And still, dollars, pound, yen and basically any currency with a "funny" symbol put it in front. Seems it's not about pronounciation anymore, but more about tradition.

I'm still on 9.x in some systems and it's running great. I find this kind of sentiment a bit weird anyway: PostgeSQL 17 has been out for a couple of weeks, I'm certainly not in a rush to upgrade anything unless I need to. Nev

Probably Pidora, which is also not an inviting name in Russian (connotation with "fag").

German is a funny language. To be speaking and writing proper German you need to learn all of German, but in addition to that, you'd need Latin grammar to build some plurals, English, French and to lesser extent Italian and Turkish pro

Sometimes, those rules just don't make any sense. I'm especially amused about the euro sign in German which by its whole design and intention is supposed to be written before the number (€50,00), but is instead written behind the

Perl was literally reborn with "Perl Best Practices". Perl::Critic has more rules that you'd ever wish for, Perl::Tidy is the most configurable code formatter there is. This had been true for 10-15 years already. Which part

It says in the README it leverages Dive. Basically it's a visualization for Dive's JSON output, which I'd very much prefer to exist as exactly that -- something I can pipe Dive's JSON into. No need to wrap Dive for that.

"make an http request" as in fetch() would be OK, but doing "classic" XHR in an interview? Hell no, I've got better things to do.

The new Slack UI is atrocious, especially with many workspaces. It's a screen for screen copy of Microsoft's Teams and I wish I was exaggerating!

Probably very few people here are familiar with Xing, the German "business networking site". I was convinced LinkedIn would eat Xing's lunch when they launched in Germany, since the same happened pretty fast to Facebook and i

I remember a time some 25 years ago when shareware developers, years after Winamp, discovered that you could leave the rectangular UIs behind and make "skins" for their software. For several years everybody was adding skins for go

While I don't think open issue are a problem, I very much prefer such events of bankruptcy to a slow death by a stalebot which happens quite often when the maintainers start to lack time or motivation.

It's easy: people watch other people play ball on television instead of playing themselves. Sometimes they watch celebrities play ball, because they suck at it, but it's entertaining. Same thing here with video games, you might wa

Rust is probably a recent development, it's been a long time I last checked up on PrinceXML. Might also mean that Mercury is on the way out long to middle term.
