During an exit interview as I was going to a new job, they let me know my coverage was good until the end of the month. Me, never able to not say something stupid, "Got it. Don't get hit by a bus on the 1st." Dead silence. HR

I am working on a tinymush equivalent server in C#. I'm nearly at version 4 compliance.

Yeah... No. I can get some useful results from codex at work, because I have to, except for when I don't. I accept that risk factor and compensate by reviewing _everything_ it spits out. But we all know what coding is, in a very broad

If Claude ends up grabbing my C# TOML library, in my defense, I wrote it when the TOML format first came out over a dozen years ago, and never did anything more with it Sorry.

Not unexpected, but it looks the oldest kid, Ingress, is being ignored again. IIRC, there was some badge you could earn by doing a number of those scans. Or is Ingress even still around?

I've got big monitors, that I hook up to my work laptop and my own laptop. I make it work with a kvm hub. It's really sweet, for my use. I keep a browser, an IDE, and a terminal pretty much side by side on the bottom one. I keep

It's ridiculous that this has to be done. I'm honestly speechless. But thanks for the magnet link.

I agree with never deploying a .git folder to prod. Part of our deployment script for sites has something like: git clone -d 1 -b $BRANCH https://blahblah.tld/project rm -rf .git* So no .git directory, .gitignore, an

I've not had that kind of experience in over 30 years. I'm a bit older now, and I would hope that my response would be something similar to: Me: "Am I under arrest?" No: "I would like my attorney present before star

I should be getting my physical copy on Tuesday. Physical so that Bezos can't have it edited or deleted from my Kindle. Good job, Zuck! I didn't even know this book existed, and likely wouldn't have cared, until you decided

Anyone else having an issue with it not showing anything in Firefox mobile?

I didn't know that, but I'm glad I have my MacBook in clamshell mode with an external camera with a physical cover. I mean, I appreciated the little green light, but the fact that it seemed necessary indicates to me that humanity

I have a regular prescription I have gotten refilled at Kaiser Permanente for years. I use their online site and get my meds mailed to me. It may have been 2 years ago or so, but the process stopped working and wouldn't accept my confi

That was fun. Got it by 2:00, but also played a few hunches with a cowboy move here and there that may have saved time. Still not going to convince me to respond to Slack that quickly, though.

No verifiable sources cited, just large amounts of scary percentages. If everybody is pirating, then everything will go away. We've heard this since cassette tapes, video tapes, decss, torrents, and we'll continue hearing it with

They just immediately receive the delete button. Maybe 5 years ago or so, I got an email that sounded good in terms of domain and tech stack, and with good detail on tasks and responsibilities. As I reached the bottom, I saw a salary headin

I call it the "flower" key, mainly due to the response I got from a couple other devs when I switched from years of Windows to doing some Mac stuff, and didn't know that it was called "command".

Well that could explain why there was a kerfluffle when checking my Advent of Code account earlier. It worked a few minutes later, so all good.

DGGRID was very useful for me when I first started experimenting with hexagon partitioning. One of my projects is using the Dymaxion projection, which H3 uses, and I've found H3 to be a lot faster for my uses. YMMV.

A couple of years ago, I got some email about a possible job. Salary range listed was $50K-$2M. Deleted that one quickly.

PHP was a godsend, saving me from Perl. I switched to the Dark Side and prefer C# these days, but I still keep an eye on it just because there was some fun stuff I built with it. Looking at that archived page brings back memories. Since I

That was brilliant, and I'd almost be willing to reactivate my Facebook account just to see if I'd get anything like that.

When LINQ first came out, I personally remember creating some long rants at the bar with my drinking buddies that we didn't need no stinking FP in our OOP. I now find myself writing half my data processing in LINQ and find myself thank

Since I've never sent a DP to anyone, I think this is hilarious, folks sending them out to people are "obviously" proud of what they're displaying, so I'm not seeing what's the problem here. (tongue in cheek,

Those were interesting times. I think I prefer having a lot of things be plug and play now.

Sure. I hit your (2) criteria a while back. In general though, for me, it's a case of finding out additional tech/science things I wasn't aware about and reading what are generally informed opinions about said things. Someti
