One of those niche, (presumably?) widely-unknown bugs that is actually extremely relevant to subcommunities of people who play the game - in particular, any decent Minecraft speedrunner is well aware of "boat break" and plays arou

Definitely seems to be getting worse, outside of AWS itself, more websites seem to be having sporadic or serious issues. Concerning considering how long the outage has been going.

So for me, extremely anecdotally, I host a few fairly low-importance things on a home server (which is just an old desktop computer left sitting under a desk with Ubuntu slapped on it): A VPN (WireGuard), a few Discord bots, a Twitch bot +

> “How's that going to work when ten years in the future you have no one that has learned anything,” Pretty obvious conclusion that I think anyone who's thought seriously about this situation has already come to. However, I&#x2

That would definitely make the most sense. It’s also hydro in Quebec (hydro-Québec).

This one (among others) does really fascinate me. Maybe it’s due to spending a lot of time around diverse groups of people but I’ve never really seen a huge distinction between these words. Washroom, bathroom, toilet, I and everyone I know

I always assumed we just called it hydro in BC because so much of the power comes from hydroelectric, but then I moved and it seems we call it hydro everywhere no master source..?

That's very fair - at least with third party software, it can be nigh impossible to track down a problem. With third party libraries, I've too-often found myself reading the code to figure something out, although that's a fru

Fixing everything is impractical, but I'd say a safer rule of thumb would be to at least understand small strangenesses/errors. In the case of things that are hard to fix - e.g. design/architectural decisions that lead to c

I use a Cepstrum (bought a kit + switches + keycaps and put it together; there's no soldering required, so it's quite easy). I never 3D printed tenting, so it's not quite perfect for normal typing, but for gaming it's fa

Your book is legendary and I have recommended it to a good number of students/programmers-in-learning. Haven't ever made it through (no matter how good the textbook, I'm still not a textbook person...) but immense respect for

You're correct, there are a bunch of different ticket options. Not sure about how it's actually implemented, though. Slightly tangential, but when I was in Montreal, I was blown away that you just purchase a ticket from a machine

This is a super interesting anecdote, considering the name definitely confused me at the time - trying to learn web development with no context I did indeed think it was some kind of Mozilla-centric resource. All those times using w3schools

Couldn't agree more. Learning bad things - not that TDD is bad, or anything, but over committing to it might be - is a huge part of understanding why certain approaches are better or worse than others. Although, I suppose 'making

Yep, they've had that feature for quite a while, too. I've always had the impression that - although obviously there is pressure within the company to monetize - they seem to have a lot of developer focus on 'just doing the o

My memory is really bad for this kind of thing, sorry. I think some of Keigo Higashino's recent translated works have this kind of physicality in their mysteries, but I'd have to reread them to remember ahahaha. (But on the enjoym

Conversations around this kind of thing are so fascinating to me, because they seem to present this fundamental breakdown in human communication - how impossible it is to convey what 'really is going on' inside your mind. The idea

This definitely isn't my experience, but I work in C++, where having a second eye to look over things is... valuable. That said, I think culture for this kind of thing varies wildly between different companies, and between teams in tho

I _kind of_ understand in the sense that - it can feel bad/like wasted time to do code review when you don't leave a single comment. But of course, it's very very important to ignore that feeling and do the sensible thing, wh

You're correct, it's a configurable feature (not paid, it's been openly available for 1-2 years). Discord also supports forums, but most server owners disable one or both as they can take more effort to moderate/maintain

Same issue, I now lie on my couch and rest it on semi-folded legs to alleviate the weight. Works a lot better, but not as great for action games in my opinion.

I haven't used the OP's application, but I've used a variety of other WYSIWYG markdown editors. It's true that WYSIWYG is kind of pointless for READMEs or what have you, but for writing prose it's very useful to con

I wrote short stories on Reddit for around two years, mostly for fun and practice. Nothing that needs to be saved, but it's nice to have this kind of thing around if you want to look back in the future!

Just in case - My G600 started double clicking ~2yr ago. I hate replacing things, so I tried a bunch of guides to fix it - opened it, cleaned the switches, soaked them in alcohol, etc. It would stop double clicking for an hour but then woul
