I started using the term “opinionated software” a little over 15 years when I was starting a new company. I built what I wanted as a participant and a fan of the sport. Lots of oth…

https://github.com/jelly-org/ui It's buried at the bottom. Had to click on the "sponsoring" link, and then select the package. Feels like they should make the repository more promi…

Thanks for sharing the video of moving the server. I wouldn't say that I miss those days, but there's some good nostalgia there having done some things that feel pretty similar (ea…

For the project I've been working on for more than 15 years, we make extensive use of the pub/sub functionality for distributing live data. Pub/sub scales well across the cluster. …

It reminds me of a rant that my friend sometimes goes on with regards to really low quality items, particularly about music... someone wrote it, someone performed it, someone mixed…

The popping sounds from a turbo car is from the wastegate (whistling sound for a blow off value) when the system is releasing pressure from the turbo that was built up. It prevents…

I was thinking a similar thing. Many of our customers have purpose use computers that rarely see physical infrastructure internet, but need a modern browser (many chose Chrome on t…

Documenting why is incredibly important, but also why something has not been done. The last business I started, I was coding at full steam building features that I could make work …

> They enjoyed each other's company and bonded over these shared experiences My son competes on the national and international level in two different sports, so we do a lot of trav…

Haven't noticed that one. Oxidation perhaps, or maybe salt in the air based on the locations? West coast food (particularly oysters) seems to be a little bit more salty/briny.

Similar thing with orange juice. The producers add 'flavor packs' to adjust the taste for different regions of the US. My son and I travel all over the US for various competitions,…

This is a terrible video. Doesn't even have dates right. ECUs have been locked far before 2017. I don't like the lack of buttons/knobs for things like heat (they can be configured …

They already have a monitoring system... TPMS. Four distinct IDs for every vehicle passing a location makes for a good fingerprint (they've been using this for years to estimate tr…

Bought my teenage son a couple lock picking kits, he's picked almost every single lock we have in our house. I then picked up a sizable rock, and told him I could get into the hous…

> He wrote Thrones explicitly to challenge Hollywood clichés Hard disagreement on that one. He wrote an epic story known as A Song of Ice and Fire (started in '96) that ended up ge…

> This reminds me of the internet in 2000 The thing that changed it was smartphones (~7 years later). Suddenly, the internet was available everywhere and not just a thing for nerds…

Similar story for me. With my work, I get pulled in a lot of different directions at seemingly random times. This helps me quickly resume what I was doing.

I can confirm this. Have a relative that works for Apple. Made the mistake of complaining in front of her about their take on sales (they make six-figures annually from my app). Sh…

Every time there is an Xcode update, I dread installing it because it will be a whole bunch of new bugs, and I just finally figured out the previous ones.

I wish. It's on Github, but my hands are tied and I can't share them since it's someone else's property now (hooray for exits, I think). It's mostly a thought process... I have or …

Thanks for taking the time to respond. Ultimately though, most of those aren't required from the beginning, but the syntactic sugar, abstractions, and performance gains from them a…

> 27 years ago! Sometimes, I feel like I'm the only old guy on here. BASIC, VB6, .NET, and some Java along the way. Too many new ones to list, although that might be a whole other …

.NET is amazing and keeps getting better. JetBrains is killing it with their IDEs and add-ons. Currently running nearly a dozen different services written in .NET running on Alpine…

C# is amazing. Decisions at the education level were made well before it went cross-platform though (FWIW, I've been using it since before v1.1). Would be interesting in what confu…
