Analog cigarettes! I love how “analog” has become synonymous with everything more manual, natural, even or better.

I have found these same principles to be true in my own projects. More modern, “cleaner” implementations usually end up with a larger code base but a noticeable reduction in performance. Bloat ruins everything.

This eventual sluggishness is due to inevitable OS rot. I bought a brand new MBP in 2017 and it was snappy as hell. Booted up instantly, breezed through complex tasks, and ran GarageBand and Logic Pro X very smoothly. Every OS update seeme

My favorite quote from Mark Twain is “I didn’t have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead”. Indeed, brevity and clarity actually take time and analysis. I find this to be very true when writing requirements or document

I have been using profiles for years in Chrome/Vivaldi for similar reasons. I do a lot of web app development and this is extremely useful for testing. In fact I have 10 different profiles on one of my setups so that I can easily simul

Not sure why optical is a problem in 2026! I have a 2014 Samsung plasma dumb-TV and pipe the optical straight to my old (2002-ish) Yamaha receiver with absolutely zero issues (no sync drifting) and it sounds like a dream compared to the sou

Would be nice to see actual pics instead of silly silhouettes. I am in the market for exactly this kind of truck (especially a manual) but this doesn’t inspire me to want to buy it.

I would suggest instead of a countdown timer, use time as a score (less time used = higher score) so at least the player can advance. Also it’s no fun and extremely annoying to make the player wait 12 hours for the next challenge, which tur

We just updated one of our projects to 1.12.5, but I might push for 1.13 as this could be very useful, although an alpha version might raise questions.

Some years ago, I got so sick of spending endless hours at my desk writing rspec automation tests that I suddenly had a strong urge to become a forest ranger.

> I think people understand the situation when they "purchase" digital media. They know it might not last forever. I don’t think this is true at all because 1) truly nothing is forever, i.e., even physical media degrades over t

Would live to hear an attorney’s opinion on this - why isn’t this considered to be something like “constructive theft” just like constructive abandonment or constructive dismissal? Sony deceived millions of customers by implying that purcha

Guess I’ll be boring and stick to my old hardware and games (PS3, Switch, GameCube, Wii, and even my SNES Classic).

As a foodie, I love this. In many respects, menus don’t seem to have drastically changed over the past 175ish years but it looks like a “Boiled” category was common early on, which I assume was because boiled foods were popular and/or

I read through the comments to make sure I wasn’t the only one…Nobody understands CORS because it’s too complicated and too conflicting. The standards and the headers are always changing too, so mostly what happens is that we developers jus

I’ve been using Clojure for almost 10 years and it still feels like a foreign language to me. I call it “parenthetical hell”.

As an avid Rails Console (basically an application-aware Ruby REPL) user, this seems familiar. Nice work.

I only really use GH CoPilot and while it’s really damn good at predicting what I’ll do next, I find it really makes me lazier. It’s like using GPS - it’s much faster, easier, accurate, and reliable than not using it, but I have found I don

This is shockingly true. Most newer FE devs I have encountered are mostly trained on the popular frameworks and lack understanding of the underlying fundamentals, e.g., they only know TypeScript + SCSS and some smattering of HTML but more o

I can code up a complex HTML table by hand faster than I create a basic MD table, but other than that, I find it difficult to achieve a good writing flow with pure HTML, even with all the automation. I author a lot of API docs, READMEs, and

I bought a Switch 2 about 6 months ago. My biggest disappointment with it so far has been the lack of first-party games.

I wasn’t even aware a native port was available for Mac. I tried it with Wine and it was awful. These days my colleagues and I are using Zed as the de facto high-performance text editor.

I use Zed and VSCode together. Zed for a “clean” version of my workspaces (no annoying plugins, no agents, etc.), and VSCode with all the plugins + GitHub Copilot. I really appreciate what Zed has become and how performant it is, and plan

I worked with the guy that created Friendster! IIRC he made it back in ‘06/‘07 and I had one of the first test accounts. Chill dude, really smart.

The very first few years of my career I spent writing code (mostly Perl) in vi (not even vim) on a SPARC running Solaris. I bought myself the O’Riley Perl Cookbook and that was pretty much my sole guide apart from the few internet forums th

Had the same experience with Doom II. Got it to run surprisingly well on a brand new Tandy 486DX2 + 4MB RAM, though I seem to recall having issues with SoundBlaster compatibility.

MD is not perfect, but it’s perfectly adequate. Markdown apologist here - I think MD is the greatest thing since sliced bread and I use it a LOT. In fact, one project I work on has an entire git repo of just MD docs. It’s easy to maintain,

Impressive! Incidentally, I built my own Chess game from scratch pretty recently, using nothing but my own knowledge of the game rules and I am seeing some of the same patterns emerge, though I used plain data structures instead of tables.

Oracle is used for mission-critical legacy applications, which is common in the federal government IT space. Replacing with OSS is a nontrivial undertaking, but it is happening. For the most part, replacing Oracle’s Java with OpenJDK is rel
