A great many stiff serious people (in my opinion) are writing very discouraging comments here. Don’t let it get you down. The whole point of hacker culture is to break rules. If that’s what you enjoy then to hell with anyone else’s opinion.

I think it’s a great justification. It’s a side project. It’s supposed to be fun. If you hate writing commit messages, though, of course you can always just commit with the amend option and force push. But in general I think side projects a

I disagree for most crimes at least. Most crimes are either going to be some form of illegal dishonesty (theft, fraud, etc.) or violence. I would hope the company I work for is able to screen individuals for such behaviors before hiring the

I can think of a lot of ways that would be worth it. * blackmail the account owner * make up an illness, create a donation page and get all their friends to donate * find all connections over a certain age and disguise a phishing vector as

Well maybe they just need to jiggle the handle.

I believe an answer to this is just temperance. Finding balance can be difficult if you have lost it for a long time, but in general not letting things outside your ability to influence impact your overall psyche is a healthy choice. How do

Well, if you want proper DR you really need an off-site backup, disk failover/recovery, etc. And if you don’t want to manually be maintaining individual drives then you’re looking at one of the big, expensive storage solutions with ent

I feel like it just depends on what you’re trying to do. * data driven website with some internal api integration, maybe some client-side application or tooling? Put a server rack in a closet and get a fiber line. * trying to serve the gene

Yeah, honestly most lazy loading and EF proxy use I have seen is more aptly named lazy coding instead. There are times when you might be running 3-4 queries to project some combination of them and want to do that in parallel, but in general

Appears to be an issue in Front Door. Our back end stuff is fine but FD is bouncing everything.

As someone who works with GraphQL daily, many of the criticisms out there are from before the times of persisted queries, query cost limits, and composite schemas. It’s a very mature and useful technology. I agree with it maybe being less s

It’s got double the range of any e-bike I’ve been around. On a full charge you’ll get very uncomfortable long before you reach half capacity. I think the pedals are only to fit into a certain vehicle category and perhaps to a lesser degree

I remember some showers I took in Rio that, to my surprise/dismay, required bringing a match along to light the water heater within the shower. That now seems tame by comparison.

How is rebuilding trust negative? It’s maybe the most wonderful thing I can think of. And, for the reasons you stated, it only works if you’re attempting to rebuild trust, not trying to “catch” them being dishonest again. Just like any othe

If you’d hurt someone by being dishonest and want to help them not worry you’re going to do it again, you’d be an idiot to deny them a little security by letting them know where you are going to be. Trust isn't regained overnight, and

That’s definitely easier than trying to forgive and rebuild trust, but when trust is broken and both parties want to save the marriage, then I find it reasonable to expect proof for at least a period of time that the other person is where t

FWIW opiate addicts in particular (and probably others as well) often do seem normal. That’s the addiction. They need the drugs to not go into withdrawal. By the time they’re addicted they either aren’t feeling the high anymore or they’re i

It would be nice if these had a 4th way of manipulating: focus + up/down arrows. They’re pretty inaccessible as is.

I suppose it depends on the context. For some couples there has been some past dishonesty, and the location sharing can serve as a measure of accountability. That doesn’t mean it’s always monitored (though I’ve definitely seen some people o

You could say that of anyplace, of course. The point is that it’s more nuanced than, “Everybody should just leave Florida.”

This is a somewhat hasty generalization. Plenty of us who live and have our entire extended family in Florida manage to do so without living in areas of high flood risk. I live less than a mile from the St John’s river, but practically the

I think this is probably a joke, but it’s an incorrect one I believe. Amazon did have such a patent, but it expired in 2017.

In my experience it’s usually engineers who run install commands until it builds locally, then check in whatever they’ve got.

So it was. I didn’t see it the first time. We got one of their graphics cards for Christmas and my Dad ended up having to buy a new motherboard to support it haha. Back when things weren’t nearly as standardized as they are today, and were

I feel like I remember seeing a 112k modem with 2 phone lines in a magazine once. Yep. It was made by Diamond, who also made some early graphics cards.

Yeah, I think we agree here.

I’m not actually so sure that we disagree as much as I originally said. A better way for me to phrase it would have been: there is nothing wrong with certain unswayable convictions. But others can be very problematic. That said, the point I

The point is I don’t have to agree with their views. Why would I want them to keep views I disagree with? This isn’t about what I’d want them to do, but rather accepting that people believe things that sound crazy to me, and it’s still up t

I would venture to say that not all dogma is misplaced, despite the negative feelings that word tends to ignite. I tend to use that word more in situations where it’s clear someone hasn’t reasoned out why they believe what they believe. Whe

No, I disagree. Not all differences need resolving. Mature adults should learn to respect those differences. It doesn’t mean you have to change your worldview to get along. This is not about how tight or loose your convictions are, but rath
