Google has done this before. When they blocked Hangouts in non-Chrome browsers, spoofing your User Agent would allow it to load and, probably predictably since I'm making this comment, Hangouts worked absolutely fine in Firefox. Not su

I live in a small city (~106k people) and the nearest university has quadruple occupancy dorms, with no kitchens, that cost $1200/mo. Apartments in this city are still (barely) under $1000/mo, except the university is in about a

My frontend builds fail because of trailing commas in the code (by design, so technically a non-issue). At the same time, my editors can balance parens but they can't really do anything but complain about trailing commas. It can't

There is absolutely weird entitlement problem in the US with regards to drivers, and motorcycle riders feel it, too. It becomes clear when a common response to supporting filtering (motorcycles being allowed to move to the front at intersec

Yeah, I feel like that definition of theft would lead to some really awful legal precedents. If a family member has decided to buy some product, and I talk them out of it, I would be committing theft by that definition. At least in the US,

I do miss editing those with Resource Hacker or XN Resource Editor. I translated tons of Japanese and Chinese software into English that way back in high school and early college. Good times.

The entire initial arguments of this article are just argumentum ad populum. Just a bunch of bullet points about popularity, finished up with the same round of "good programmers write good code in any language." So, does that incl

I wouldn't say they're ancillary, most of what you said is the claimed benefit of homework (regardless of the correctness of that claim). I'd say you're mostly using the homework as a guide for tutoring, which isn't

The new version just supports a few new features, like non-Windows line endings. It's otherwise exactly the same simple text editor it always was, except now it's not useless when you happen to get something with Unix line endings

The best I've gotten are emails asking for permission to fork one of my public Github repos. I was never sure how to respond to those, because... yes? By default?

This is also amplified by tech companies in "non-tech" areas. I know I make less than I should, but my options are very limited unless I want to add a long (and extremely dangerous) commute. Moving is more expensive than I can aff

It strikes me as some type of attribution error. Not the FAE we all know, but a different or more general one. As in, results are not attributed to the cause. But in the antibiotics example, it's the other way around. The results are i

I would never in a million years, as a developer, give my personal phone number to a client. That's probably why. I get the same issue where I work. The client states that "everything is broken," but it often turns out that t

The worst why that I regularly hear is, "the client changed their mind and it's the best we could do." Which, of course, has two negative implications. Not just one.

It's a bit disingenuous to put today's society in the place of a hypothetical society immediately before post-scarcity (or society before any major societal shift in the far future). They are in no way comparable. Society as it is

Mostly just Git macros and regular key combos, honestly. The needs of my workflow are fairly limited these days. My keyboard at home (Diverge 3) has macros for switching my default audio device, but those are just Ctrl+Shift+F[7,8,9], each

I have a Pok3r and a Core, and while I love the Pok3r, my one complaint is that its macros are a bit limited. My Core lets me make macros that are pretty long. For example, I have a macro on my Core (at work) that just checks out the curren
