What's up with anglophones and their complete inability to use measurements that make sense? It's not just the US using a measurement system so inconventient its original inventors dropped it or somehow arriving at the decision that month/day/year is a good way to write dates, they even managed to screw up simple measurement of time on a 12-hour clock. I hope whoever officially decided that 11am > 12pm > 1pm > … > 11pm > 12am > 1am is the correct order was hanged, preferably also tortured beforehand.

@robpike @yuvipanda All of those years of bit rot and dead code are catching up to us. It's the software version of the accumulation of space junk orbiting Earth.

Does anyone have any technology that works? I am becoming despondent over the state of things. So much technological progress and yet everything seems to be broken (or must be updated, which amounts to the same thing in user experience) all the time.

Sorry.

It’s kinda sad to see people think I’m ’bribed’ by Meta.. I have not signed anything, I did not attend anything from them nor did I accept anything but still the worst is assumed when I don’t agree on blocking a still in development project that we don’t even know the (domain)name from right away

I don’t have any love for Meta or any of such companies whatsoever, that’s why I’m putting all I have in these platforms and guard it with my life so don’t expect Meta to get a ‘free pass’ on anything

@jeder I love parcel lockers so much. Urbanists worldwide are writing essays about the last mile problem while this country with shitty urbanism solved it many years ago

I'm pretty sure these programmers were trying to hide information from the compiler.
when you find yourself doing this, you need to stop and rethink your life. go for a walk.

No random open source application, I do not want to join your Discord channel for support.

There's this really cool technology called hypertext markup language, and if you use it for your documentation another piece of amazing technology called a search engine can help me find the answer I'm looking for

And the real magic is you only have to answer it once and the answer helps anyone. You don't have to answer the same question every day. This frees you up for more fun development

I remember the exact place and time I thunk up the browser plugin password manager. I'm deeply grateful that other people thunk it up too, and actually executed on it. Ideas are cheap. Execution counts.

it's one of my favorite bugs in programming, when you accidentally write a loop that processes the first element of a list every time through the loop

The new ".zip" domain is being used almost solely for malware. Some of the clicks are very deceptive, even to technically knowledgeable people. See the attached image for an example.

You can block all zip domains with the following uBlock Origin rule:

||zip^

Tell everyone you know.
