    Always found that writing stuff down helps me to remember things better, whether studying something, prepping for an exam, or in general. Didn't even matter if I didn't look at tho…

    Interestingly, quite a few places that should treat query strings transparently make a lot of assumptions about their structure. We ran into that when picking a new CDN, some provi…

    Big nod. I've been trying to register our company to sell customized products. It's been quite an ordeal with document rejections etc, and at the end they just said the rejection i…

    We battled https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1331370/... for over a year, and finally decided to move off since there was no any resolution. Unfortunately our API…

    Loved Borland IDE at the time. I still miss Ctrl-KB/KK (IIRC?) style selections from time to time. These days Far Manager (via far2l) or MC kind of scratch the itch for quick TUI e…

    I'm ok using a limited resource _if_ I know how much of it I am using. The lack of visible progress towards limits is annoying.

    One problem I find is that a lot educational content has moved into YouTube and videos (monetization be damned). I have no time to watch 10mins of rambling and ads for a quick tip,…

    Technically it's possible to see most of my code on github, but most of it definitely wasn't intended for sharing, mostly protection from losing it. A number of SmartThings device …
