That is odd, I regularly use my Yubikey on multiple devices, that was the biggest draw.

I keep my profile updated as a consultant because it lets clients and others in my company get a fuller gauge than my one pager. I’ve also got my most recent and prior job from having a price and responding to the right recruiter, I’ve also had a handful of interviews as well, which is honestly more than I’ve gotten from trying to apply to random job board postings.

Porting involved Excel sheets into web apps has been a decent chunk of my dev career.

The butterfly switches break easily and replacing the entire keyboard because of it is a pain. I held on to my 2015 intel MBP for ages waiting for them to address that.

Swapping lid for trunk?

We had a classmate would would wander off with his laptop unlocked so one day we set all his system sounds to fart noises and cranked up the volume. He came back to class minimized a window and the whole class heard the noise and cracked up. We also got good mileage out of adding a wireless mouse on another occasion and zipping his cursor around the screen for probably a good ten minutes.

Too much lead.

There’s a bunch that are available, Slay the Spire runs on Mac without any work, install straight from Steam.

That would track, one of the few things I miss when writing c#. Instead you break out into interfaces as much as you can.

Part of the issue is Xbox segmented the market with the less powerful Series S and put constraints on releases needing to have feature parity between the two, quite a few devs have had issues with. It delayed Baldur’s Gate 3 for months until MS waived off the split screen co-op. Seems bizarre to chase power at hard and then make it harder for your devs to develop to it.

I love my iPad, but I’d still rather have knobs and buttons in my car, if I need to adjust it while driving I need to be able to find it without looking.

For me it’s not even just the pivot, but the internal tool they built incidentally that’s the product they pivot too.

I bring this up in PRs, as I know with my own experience I don’t always mean to commit it commented out, sometimes it was just for testing, or it should have been deleted after I was done refactoring.

I’ve been using an Ergodox-EZ for 7 years, it’s been so good for my wrists.

There’s going to be more moisture in the air, wet bulb temperature is gets deadly at much lower temperatures than dry, https://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/jul/31/why-you-need...

By odd coincidence, I bought my first box of this today, looking forward to trying it out.

I adore these, I’d agree there’s something of a similar vibe going on between them. Lots of optimism, but not in a saccharine way.

Also every year I get a little more resentful of spinner wheels for year of birth that start at the current year.

Same, few more labels and a more stock mapping but I’ve seen people give up after seconds of attempting it.

Like telling people asking for game cheats to use Alt-F4.

When I was a tester first thing I’d do was fill every text box with Ws just to see what ran over. Good to remember as a dev now.

While it does arrange prebuilt blocks it also does more, it will punch holes in the walls as needed and does procedural population of what's in each block. The second one takes things further.

Helpful project if you want to know more about anything in game https://nornagon.github.io/cdda-guide/ saw it presented at the last Roguelike Celebration.

It’s pretty cool, but I wouldn’t switch over unless you know you need a column store approach.

Container instances are pretty good really, the app service for containers is pretty good too. I’ve been playing with k8s because that’s what everyone thinks they want and need to be able to speak to it, and use it when the time comes, but I’ve yet to run into a case where I really thought it was necessary, for the platform I work on (millions of users, big number of transactions per second).

There’s no upward development of life. We think we’re super clever and advanced for building cars and lightbulbs and such, but there’s nothing beyond us saying that’s good or praiseworthy. Looking at our impact on biodiversity, the atmosphere, and the oceans, and throw in a huge dose of micro plastics and rogue hormones in the water supply and we don’t look so clever. Evolution improves fitness for reproduction, there’s not a handy chart or whatever that shows markers for more or less evolved.

I was able to quit blood pressure meds after using a paleo diet. I'm more relaxed about it now, but honestly it's looking like sugar is way worse than fat for health.

I've been using this on .net projects, have pulled off some fairly intricate UIs by returning server rendered partials. The polling support is nice and robust for dashboards.
