I was having a conversation with my dad about how if a virus had a 10% death rate it would be terrifying. His reply was that 10% was nothing, that means you've got 90% chance to survive. Then said you've probably got a 10% chance

My main PC at home is 15 years old at this point, running linux. It's fine. I don't play games, but it still chugs along perfectly fine and for what I use it for I rarely think that it's too slow.

I used to be on a forum with only half a dozen people, someone in the group hosted it. We wanted to share images so someone wrote and hosted a pubic file sharing site... We never shared the link to the uploader publicly, yet within a couple

Take C#, if you want a new language feature or syntax added you have to propose it to the language design team, they have to decide it's worth implementing then you have to wait on it being implemented and released and your tooling upd

This! All my experience in trying to hire developers has been wading through an endless stream of people who were just useless. Me: I want to represent a 2d grid, what data structure should we use? Them: A string? This was someone applying

This awesome! I actually had no idea I could ssh into my Remarkable and do neat stuff like this! > Why do it? It's so impractical! Because you can and it's fun is always a perfectly valid answer here!

The Uncharted games are weird like this. They get lauded for their storyline, yet Drake is out their killing hordes of guys for what ? Some treasure ?

Yeah I was in a bar one night and was peckish, so tried to buy a packet of crisps. They said minimum spend on card was £5, so I said just charge me the £5 it's fine. Card got blocked as they thought it was fraud. Annoying! And not some

This is why at my current place we are not supposed to do any dev without an SME on the call. We do the development and share the screen and get immediate feedback as we are working in real time! It's great.

Man, I've been bouldering now at my gym for maybe 18 months and I can count on one hand the number of times I've spoken to someone. A lot of people on their own have earbuds in too,and clearly don't want to be spoken to. I ha

Was this a thing? I never knew this!! Man, pre big-internet was so hard to find information on games. I remember for the original tomb raider a friend needed a guide, so I wrote and printed out them a guide for the full game, since I played

I love the clojure, but I think a big downside is not being able to use it at work and now work feels like I'm being forced to work with stone age tools in comparison. That gets quite depressing sometimes. Sometimes I think I was happi

Man, I probably say no to like 40% of the requests I get as a dev. Often we will come up with a better way of doing things by just spending 15-30 mins talking to the business about the actual problem they are having. Some are just flat out

The point isnt to give a simple answer, even if it's a correct answer. The point is show how much you know and how smart you are. The question is framed to you as a way for you to show you know x, y and z and talk about x, y and z. Eve

As someone who would like to get a new PC (but a desktop) for coding, and is considering a mac, why would you never buy a mac for coding ? I'm currently running Ubuntu on this ancient thing (which I love actually), but I absolutely don

I just want an adblocker and tree style vertical tabs, where the tab bar minimises when the mouse isn't over it. That's literally my entire use case for using firefox.
