The missing underscore didn't send an innocent man to prison. In this story, an incompetent lawyer, an incompetent judge, and an unjust system walked into a bar... When the article says "he was found guilty" what does that ev

Slight tangent into translations: I read two translations of the book "The Master and Margarita". My first read was so boring I couldn't help but stop reading before the end of the first chapter. I can't find the copy an

I think this post is vague enough for each one of us to think about the part we are sick of and relate. I'm sick of generative for sure.. but then again [0]: > Everyone seems to have their own personal definition of acceptable AI us

And here I was proud of myself, having taught my mom and her friends how to discern real from fakes they get on WhatsApp groups. Another even more powerful tool for scammers. I'm taking a break.

Since it's a coding error, let's run git blame and see what comes out. Being on the receiving end is never fun. For my case, after I was reinstated, I left shortly after. It was never the same with my colleagues.

I bought a OnePlus 3 when it was the cool underdog phone for $450. That was 6 years ago. After 5.5 years the battery started draining faster than usual so I replaced it. The only reason I had to switch phones was because my children chewed

My favorite Bullshit Job was my very own. There was an employee that was hired only because, well I couldn't say No during the interview. He had nothing to do so they turned him into a human website health checker. He had a page with d

I had done a similar one, just without the images. My intention was to add a blurb for each of the books, but friction is the enemy of reading. https://idiallo.com/library

Update: I've built this page many years ago, and one of the issues was that I couldn't nest script tags. The reason is everything inside the script tag is considered plain text. So having a hyperlink inside a paragraph was impossi

That's fun. I actually used a similar method to build this page[1]. (see page source). I used script tags for the content. [1]: https://idiallo.com/nobot.php Edit: All HTML tags are a CSS rule away to becoming visible.

This sounds great in theory. Up until my last job, this is the philosophy I lived by. When I leave, I want that the only thing they miss is my personality. But it is never the case. When you announce you are leaving, you turn from employee

I was once asked to automate a task at a job. There was a webpage that had a dozen iframes. My task was to add a js that refreshes each iframe a minute after it fully loaded. It was a wonky type of health checker. When I finished, I went to

Ok, so I made these things called OttoTags in 2017. Think of them as AirTags with QR code instead (I'm a solo dev) From what I understand, when you find an airtag, you connect it to your device and it gives you the owners contact info.

I hate it when people say a job is a job. 10 hours a day is dedicated to my job. I'm awake for 16 hours and 10 of those I spend at work. This is where my friends are. This is where I meet new people. This is where I spend my time. But
