Luckily I learned programming when I was already using the NEO layout. I couldn’t imagine typing parentheses and the like in German…

The first step in any software project is not doing it. Have you checked if the product you want to build isn’t already out there?

Why I ditched Manjaro and came back to Mint:

• I find the package manager clunky. Why is the flag to install something -Ss?
• At some point I couldn’t upgrade packages anymore because they somehow got in conflict. I never bothered to find out what caused that and what the fix would’ve been. I just ran back to mommy Mint’s welcoming arms.

Remember how Cyberpunk got hyped across the board? Not a single critical voice before launch (as far as I’ve heard). If that’s the “journalism” you’re providing, then I’m sure as hell not paying for it.

Imagine thinking about what you’re going to code beforehand. What a world we live in!

Let’s be real here. The problem isn’t that it’s “too complicated” to list the fees. What’s complicated about listing a few numbers? The problem is that they don’t want to list a myriad of fees.

The fact that “tell your customers what you will charge them” is a rule that had to be instantiated in the Biden legislation is in itself a joke.

Single responsibility. I deplore my backend developers who think that just because you’re mauling a single (Java) stream for an extended operation, it’s ok to write a single wall-of-text, 5 lines long, 160 characters wide. Use fucking line breaks, for fuck’s sake!

Sometimes there’s literally no other way (that I know of). When you’re debugging concurrency issues, stopping all time with a debugger just isn’t an option.

For me Steam never picks up the discrete GPU and always wants to report the integrated one. Might be relevant for you if you intend to do anything with Steam’s hardware survey data.

What’s the alternative for a voter? Vote for the worse of the two evils directly?

For every department, IT knows of a canary. If that person of … questionable mental ability … finds their way around the new systems, everyone else will, too.

Thanks for not requiring a NASA computer to run this game.

WTF‽ I’m a web dev for 5 years, 8 if you count university, and I’ve never heard about bookmarklets. Why would that even begin to work?

Man, this is so amazing!

If you count the programming language you use as ‘platform’, then yes. Python rounds both 11.5 and 12.5 to 12.

• Man, it’s so annoying to have to use multiple machines because one isn’t beefy enough!
• We can now shove the hardware of 10 machines into one, making it the beefiest!
• Man, it’s so annoying to have to use such a beefy machine!
• We can now divide a beefy machine into 10 mediocre ones, just like you always wanted!

Make it make sense to me.

This comment is ranty because I just stubbed my toe on this.

The fucking software repositories need to be current, goddamnit. Either provide a curated list of up-to-date software or don’t. Don’t pretend you have software in store just for the user to find out that it’s (literally, for fuck’s sake!) 4 years behind the current release.

Devices are configurable via software. If windows managed to “flip a switch” on the WiFi chip, it would affect Linux as well if it didn’t reset it on boot.

Oh, was it already time to reinvent the wheel? Again?

You could host your code, e.g. on Github, use Github’s code editor and only pull the code on your server.
