I have been using profiles for years in Chrome/Vivaldi for similar reasons. I do a lot of web app development and this is extremely useful for testing. In fact I have 10 different …

Not sure why optical is a problem in 2026! I have a 2014 Samsung plasma dumb-TV and pipe the optical straight to my old (2002-ish) Yamaha receiver with absolutely zero issues (no s…

Would be nice to see actual pics instead of silly silhouettes. I am in the market for exactly this kind of truck (especially a manual) but this doesn’t inspire me to want to buy it…

I would suggest instead of a countdown timer, use time as a score (less time used = higher score) so at least the player can advance. Also it’s no fun and extremely annoying to mak…

We just updated one of our projects to 1.12.5, but I might push for 1.13 as this could be very useful, although an alpha version might raise questions.

Some years ago, I got so sick of spending endless hours at my desk writing rspec automation tests that I suddenly had a strong urge to become a forest ranger.

> I think people understand the situation when they "purchase" digital media. They know it might not last forever. I don’t think this is true at all because 1) truly nothing is for…

Would live to hear an attorney’s opinion on this - why isn’t this considered to be something like “constructive theft” just like constructive abandonment or constructive dismissal?…

Guess I’ll be boring and stick to my old hardware and games (PS3, Switch, GameCube, Wii, and even my SNES Classic).

As a foodie, I love this. In many respects, menus don’t seem to have drastically changed over the past 175ish years but it looks like a “Boiled” category was common early on, which…

I read through the comments to make sure I wasn’t the only one…Nobody understands CORS because it’s too complicated and too conflicting. The standards and the headers are always ch…

What is CMS in this context?

I’ve been using Clojure for almost 10 years and it still feels like a foreign language to me. I call it “parenthetical hell”.

As an avid Rails Console (basically an application-aware Ruby REPL) user, this seems familiar. Nice work.

I only really use GH CoPilot and while it’s really damn good at predicting what I’ll do next, I find it really makes me lazier. It’s like using GPS - it’s much faster, easier, accu…

This is shockingly true. Most newer FE devs I have encountered are mostly trained on the popular frameworks and lack understanding of the underlying fundamentals, e.g., they only k…

I can code up a complex HTML table by hand faster than I create a basic MD table, but other than that, I find it difficult to achieve a good writing flow with pure HTML, even with …

I bought a Switch 2 about 6 months ago. My biggest disappointment with it so far has been the lack of first-party games.

I wasn’t even aware a native port was available for Mac. I tried it with Wine and it was awful. These days my colleagues and I are using Zed as the de facto high-performance text e…

I use Zed and VSCode together. Zed for a “clean” version of my workspaces (no annoying plugins, no agents, etc.), and VSCode with all the plugins + GitHub Copilot. I really appreci…

I worked with the guy that created Friendster! IIRC he made it back in ‘06/‘07 and I had one of the first test accounts. Chill dude, really smart.

The very first few years of my career I spent writing code (mostly Perl) in vi (not even vim) on a SPARC running Solaris. I bought myself the O’Riley Perl Cookbook and that was pre…

Had the same experience with Doom II. Got it to run surprisingly well on a brand new Tandy 486DX2 + 4MB RAM, though I seem to recall having issues with SoundBlaster compatibility.

MD is not perfect, but it’s perfectly adequate. Markdown apologist here - I think MD is the greatest thing since sliced bread and I use it a LOT. In fact, one project I work on has…

Impressive! Incidentally, I built my own Chess game from scratch pretty recently, using nothing but my own knowledge of the game rules and I am seeing some of the same patterns eme…
