You can absolutely do a chargeback months later. This is fraud, and credit card companies are usually very willing to address that! Typically they'll put the onus on Photobucket to demonstrate that you received the service you paid for

I've suffered this several times over my now 25-year career, and the best answer I've found is therapy. Find a good[*] therapist and work with them, preferably every week, until you feel better. [*] I like this definition of &quot

We've been shipping a Docker-based app to customers for years, and every now and then one of them runs a security scanner on our images. I have yet to see a scan that isn't a disaster of false positives (for the reasons outlined i

I feel like this is the way of things with Slack: poorly implemented new features are introduced with no way to disable them, and a significant portion of their users end up needing to work around them. I'd love to have time to researc
