I don't think anybody was suggesting to remove benches and replace them with stairs. The existence of stairs is not an attack on disabled people this time.

Right, but at least with the expensive machine, one is making a conscious decision to spend a certain, known amount.

It doesn't seem to. My current place is all in on AWS and we have about 6 "DevOps" people dedicated to dealing with it all. Last place we did pretty similar stuff with 3 data cente…

Batteries usually degrade. That's why people ask this question. We have all been carrying around phones with batteries that start to perform badly enough after a couple years that …

It's only 67% more. Practically the same price!

I have also never met a flat earther, or seen any discourse online that seems like such. I am not convinced that they exist in nearly the kinds of numbers that folks like to sugges…

I recently managed to get my hands on a non-smart TV and bought a roku stand alone device for it. Mostly because the interface is simple and has been the same for years. I prefer t…

I guess clear market winner depends on what one defines as market. Anecdotally though, I have been working with medium sized startups in NYC that are heavily API driven for the las…

I read mine also. The lender seemed way more surprised than I would have expected. Then the title person later was like, "Almost all of this is standardized stuff. It's not really …

Yeah but they break those laws for their own gain, not for you.

I was interviewing recently, and I asked everybody explicitly about remote. Any places that have wishy-washy answers or seemed enthusiastic to get software devs back into the offic…

I use a single git repo for all my personal project docs.

This is it. I actually took a small pay cut this year to work for a company that is guaranteed remote friendly. The peace of mind knowing that these guys already had remote enginee…

And just like the TV's, it will never be allowed to happen.

I don't understand why churches would say that, when they were the cornerstone of culture until a few tens of years ago.

Some things that count as churches may have sprung up to make such offers, but I am assuming most churches have been standing since before Covid, before Facebook, before Trump and …

I've seen some hard to understand opinions on the web over the years, but church as counterculture really takes the cake.

In my area, Target is far less crowded and has very short waits at checkout because they actually have people staffing the registers. Walmart will have one cashier at the special r…

We do the same here in the states. Some folks pay for private schools so their kids don't have to be exposed to perceived riff raff, while others choose to live in more expensive n…

Not exactly eastern European, but the company I recently left has a group of devs in Dublin like this. Interestingly, I interviewed with a company last week that has almost the ent…

I ended up using diigo.com for a while, but I remember finding the android client pretty annoying to use and I kind of faded off it. Just logged in for the first time in like 5 yea…

I have met enough devs that don't necessarily love to make everything Dockerized microservices on Kubernetes, just that if we don't learn this stuff we risk becoming unemployable.

Telegram sent out a message yesterday saying that they have gained 25 million users in the last 72 hours alone, pushing their total user count to 500 million. I suspect Signal took…

You can spin up a VPS on digital ocean for $5/month

It's amazing... amazing to me the confused looks I get from people when they start telling me their venmo credentials or whatever and I just hand them a 20 dollar bill for my share…
