GoDaddy was my first registrar in like 2004 and leaving them was an extremely difficult process at the time. I believe they made it troublesome on purpose, though I would not also rule out incompetence.

I don't buy new computers anymore. I only buy computers that are a few years old. The last one I purchased was a Thinkpad T420s with the wide screen, maxed out the RAM, popped in an SSD, and for under $500. Works like a charm. Linux gives me no major problems.

If I was going to buy another Mac, it would probably be a 2015ish 13" MBP. I currently have an 11" 2012 Air that is perfectly fine for the type of development I do and shows only minor signs of impending failure. I would def get another one of these as well.

It's such a common pattern too. I can't believe people are still doing this and it's generally acceptable.

FFQ is my new daily driver for regular browsing but I will still be developing with Chrome

If you do use Instacart, you should definitely opt-out of the "service fee" at checkout and put that money towards the tip directly for your shopper.

DoDi's Visual Basic "Discompiler"

haha cybermun is one of my besties. really good dude

freenode is definitely the useful network these days

SuKiYaKi invited me into Allied and I made some of the best friends I ever made in my life at that time. This was the wild west for me

Ancient articles such as this one always bring kiddos out of the woodwork. I'm happy for that because it totally validates all the time I spent on that wretched network.

Fun fact: Da Chronic is a cool dude (shout out #pain) and also wrote this fun thing about phishing:

Q: Why am I receiving this notice? A: We would like to inform you in advance that, as of 18 September 2017, Yahoo and Oath plan to share some user information within the Verizon family of companies which will enable us to integrate our business, allowing us to coordinate more and improve your experiences.

Hate to break it to you, but everyone has already shared Yahoo's user information

An important subject ruined by incredibly bad writing. Do not write in this style. It is not funny, nor smart, but it is very bad.

No I am not using software called Ayo, and I will not type "ayo" to initiate commands.

I'm really glad this one keeps making the rounds. Of course this is not even close to the first time this has been posted but I always continue going back to it after all these years.

My favorite part is the writer self-implicating they are an "expert" in looking at women.

It would be very nice if browsers were not so bad, and included more than just Javascript rendering engines. Like, I don't know, maybe Python? I am personally very tired of being tied into JS. I don't even like it as a language very much but since I'm a FED, I have to use it, or something that transpiles to it. This is not a very good paradigm.

Really tackling the important decisions.
