As a North American who travels in the UK multiple times per year, I really need you to elaborate. My experience has been nothing less than amazing, in comparison to the complete lack of rail options at home.

So I'm NOT crazy for remembering that being a feature in old Teams! Thanks for confirming!

This is the day that I type

yay poop

into my terminal. I am giggling like a child.

I've been in the industry for over 9 years, working in government permitting/licensing software.

It still isn't on par with VS code, but it has been good enough for my team.

WCAG compliance is a choice, I guess.

Yeah, I was just about to re-share this until I read that.

Trust is the foundation of a good relationship. Respect is the framing.

Sexual Attraction is just the external facade, inviting you inside.

These things take TIME.

My company has developed a spreadsheet based on actual historical effort that spits out a SWAG (Scientific Wild-Ass Guess). Things are split up into different categories, as building with one technology could be more costly than building with another. It has been remarkably accurate as long as we can stay within the original scope.

I love my Lenovo Thinkpad (X1 Carbon). From the little things like hardware switches for the webcam and microphone to the big things like the excellent keyboard feel and Linux support (I use Manjaro). HOWEVER, get the premium screen, because WOW the 1080p screen isn’t great.

My opinion is that dev docs should always start with common use cases that drill into related SDKs/APIs. I find that they are oddly separated more often than I’d like them to be. Microsoft seems to be getting the picture with their .NET 6 documentation.

My brain didn’t become “upgraded” when programming clicked. It was just another tool that I could use to make the world better. Not everyone can code. Those who can already have the wiring there and just need training.

Link doesn’t work

Do you mean, “What things do you miss when writing documentation as a developer?”

Square has been pretty attractive for my business needs.

For me, the dopamine hit when I solve a difficult problem solved can be amazing. Though, I find that if I don’t balance it out with other stuff (like golf, travelling, etc.) I tend to burn out a bit. As someone who has solved some incredibly difficult problems, how do you maintain a balance?

I’ve got a LOT of different strategies for to do lists… can’t say I’ve found a single one that my ADD hasn’t found a way around.

In all seriousness, I use the Reminders app on my iPhone to add personal/work items to one or more shared outlook task lists. That way I’ve got everything in one place.

Honestly, I think you need to find a team that is willing to hire you as an apprentice or junior dev. Books and courses are great, but if you find a company that is willing to train you up, that is gold.

I’m not sure which tools you are referring to exactly, but I’ve had success with Adobe Reader/Acrobat using Wine.

It’s also a software product by a company named Computronix.

The internet really is for porn.

You better search it, but I believe the difference is Ritalin is an amphetamine.

GoDaddy estimates it at $25,000

Dungeon Master sounds pretty cool in my books!

Did you need that money right away? The stock market has its ebbs and flows and always comes back stronger.

When I’ve worked with APIs that implemented pagination using cursors (Square), I really loved the ease of integration with my app. Writing a while loop that checks if the cursor is populated was better/faster than checking if the number of results from the last request was less than the requested number of rows.

This is exactly what I was looking for!

Is this good? Bad? Not really sure what your opinion is here.

px is what we use. Just be prepared to write ALL the media queries.

Time for a toggle button?
