"When is Rome" is good, might use that. My old boss used to say: "Be a chameleon. I don't want to know that I didn't write this."

I work in a small team, we have ~30 active clients and other ~100 or so that are low maintenance or dormant. We don't have an on-call rotation but I desperately want one. Because i…

I wouldn't call those shenanigans fun, just frustrating. I know exactly the roads you're referring to. We drove that pass between SA and Vic a good 10 times in just the past 2 year…

Found it! https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-17630?focusedCommentId=925...

I remember learning A* at uni while at the same time experiencing it's quirks on our shared minecraft server. The server was really chugging and so I ran a trace on it. I found the…

Are we talking about friendlyjordies here? He most certainly has pissed people off. I wouldn't put it past mafia types to have a go at him after his relentless mockery of Barilaro.…

I feel like the introduction of "store exclusives" really grated badly on an already well established Steam user base. Gamers, and PC gamers in particular, are quite stubborn. I su…

Well no, it's in the name - Object Relational Mapping.

I have a government client that has locked down all outgoing access for a web server except though a socks proxy. It makes simple things really hard - like a links checker, package…

Yakuake. You're easily spoilt by a quake mode terminal and it's hard to go without it. Tab management and shortcuts are great. Full utf8 support. It's essentially the same as Konso…

The new windows terminal has quake mode? Now that's a game changer.

You're not wrong. "Higher order components" might be the phrase you're looking for. I could argue that they're not really very popular any more with the introduction of the hooks A…

Something I don't think Vue has ever got right was the incomprehensible stack trace at the sight of any error. Or maybe I'm missing something. After working for a few years in reac…

Oh bless the almighty car. We cannot question it's authority and we are all the better for serving it. What's your point here? Are you advocating that drivers have no responsibilit…

I'd argue that Steam isn't 'now' an electron app but was the OG 'electron' app. The store and community interface have always been web UI from day one. Originally it wrapped the IE…

I've actively taught this to students as WET and DRY. Write Everything Twice, then DRY it later.

So recently TPG used their CWMP powers to disable the OpenVPN server on all of their customer's routers, including the VR1600V [1]. Without any notice too - and I know a few busine…

This is great! I used to run a Subsonic server for myself but it kind of fell apart because the licensing in version 6 kind of broke the community around it. But it looks like this…

I'll add though; the real benefit only comes with heavy use of objects, like in Yii/Craft. If you've got keyed arrays everywhere it's still a hellhole.

This is quite complete, definitely bookmarking for reference. I've been knee deep in PHP for the last 6 months after keeping it at arm's length for probably 10 years. It's really q…

> the tool isn't really set up to accommodate a momentarily-invalid state. I've struggled to explain to students, teachers and others my frustrations with anything that isn't plain…

The JVM also does erasure of generics. Yes, it's not _all_ types but it too relies heavily on compile time typings.

Wayland+Intel is working quite well in my mixed 4K+1080p setup. Qt apps are handling like a champion. Gtk seems okay too. Obviously it's not so great with Xwayland, definite blurri…

Perhaps this could be a new feature for the language server protocol? Or is it already in the works...?

This is it, really. Not long ago I was involved in a company that defended their trademark. The other group said to us 'f- you' and refused to comply. They then continued to do mar…
