I use it as a daily driver with few if any problems, but I'm on macOS. Maybe their Linux support is particularly crappy?

Here's yet another anecdote of near-zero real value to add to the pile: I treated my severe treatment-resistant depression with ketamine infusions. It's obviously not the same as p…

I'm pretty sure that this sort of thing happens for stuff in big box home improvement stores like Home Depot and Lowe's, too. Things like plumbing fixtures that appear to be identi…

I was an internal beta tester for AltaVista while I was doing a co-op at DEC in 1995. Good times.

> wasn't there a quite recent incident where an American car manufacturer was leaking the real-time position of all their clients' vehicles? You might be thinking about GM: https:/…

Checkout.com (UK) might be another worth checking. :) [I'm a "payments guy" for my day job].

I wonder if the author considered moving payment processing to Adyen from Stripe? They're also EU-based and a bit more... well known? I liked integrating with them in the past.

IMO one of the cool things about Wallet is the notification that appears on the homescreen when you're in proximity of the venue or time of the event and automatically displays the…

I said this elsewhere in the comments, but I think there's sort of a fundamental tension that shows up sometimes between DRY and "a function/class should only do one thing." E.g., …

I think there is often tension between DRY and "thing should do only one thing." E.g., I've found myself guilty of DRYing up a function, but the use is slightly different in a coup…

I got Source Code Pro. My daily driver is currently 0xProto, but I didn't see that in the game (admittedly I think it's kinda rarely used).

sssssh! if this catches on we can keep our jobs! (j/k, mostly)

ah, thanks, that's why my first thought was that "hey, this feels very FORTH like"

I didn't return mine, I just threw it in the trash and replaced it with a local-only no-cloud Eufy. It works great.

Yeah - I think it still a bit of a deterrent ... today, not everyone has a camera, and if I were a thief and one house had cameras while the place next door did not, guess which on…

I understand your skepticism 100%, but I suspect you might change your mind if you, say, rented a car with it for a week. It's definitely a net positive for safety, and it probably…

this is a great analogy despite it possibly coming off as snark. I think it's hard for some people to grasp that programmers are motivated by different things. Some are motivated b…

Oh my god. This is me. If I were any better at writing, I could have written this, the author is even the same age as me (well, a year younger) and followed a similar trajectory. A…

I thought so too, they reminded me of the speedometer and analog clock (lol) in the '81 Rabbit I had in high school.

I think (I'm an American so take with a grain of salt) even the "proper lawyer reviewing terms" part can be deferred quite a while by being conservative with PII (which you should …

I didn't do this, but I did use a spare unsigned short (used for memory alignment) in the Quantum Atlas 10K II disk drive's servo firmware to store my wife and I's anniversary date…

It used to be the case that the middle digit of an area code had to be a 0 or a 1. All the O.G. "cool" area codes like 212 are in this format, and the less desirable new area codes…

There is, but it's an adjective, not a noun.

Yeah, see also: Digital Equipment Corp until the mid 90s (where I did my co-op). Lots of brilliant people there, coasting on their legacy until they fell hopelessly behind from mis…

Maybe the ubiquitous "to do list" app?
