I don’t do it for the money. I do it because I like doing it.

Unless the load was improperly secured, or the driver was not driving safely, which we don’t know yet.

Every time I hear this word firefish, I cannot help but be reminded of the phrase “turds of the firefish”, which appears quite randomly in one of Orson Scott Card’s novels.

We’re talking cross-platform depravity these days.

I even explicitly called out my statement as tongue-in-cheek, so it’s not to be taken 100% seriously. And full disclosure: I myself am not a PHP developer, but much worse: a PowerShell developer, among other languages.

This is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but kbin generally requires its users to be either unaware it is written in PHP or OK with using something written in PHP. That has to exert some selective pressure.

Annoyingly, the article never said what it tasted like.

Exchange rates are a bitch

Just heard of this service but I am signing up first thing tomorrow.

A few of the affairs became unexpectedly external.

Arc aims to be more than just a place to view webpages

Personally, that’s all I want a browser to be. Anything more is useless bloat, IMO.

Probably something you’d notice more in the number of concurrent users each solution could handle per web server instance. Rust theoretically would let you serve more users with less resources.

Disclosure: I dislike PHP.

Same. As a Rust lover and PHP hater, the choice was easy.

Guessing it’s static electricity buildup.

I have listened since the time it was the Engadget podcast, then This Is My Next, then the Vergecast. Yes, it’s fluff and not deep technical info, but it’s really useful for keeping up with the overall zeitgeist of the tech industry. Also it’s often funny. It’s a nice, refreshing thing to listen to while making coffee on a Friday.

Windows 11 is Linux like my car is a Bluetooth headset.

Checked it out, stopped reading at “blockchain”.

That fixes the main problem with Clippy, which was not using a blockchain.

C derivatives are similar in terms of things like imperative control flow, lower-case keywords like if, mostly insignificant whitespace, { }-delimited blocks, etc., but they can be vastly different in terms of features, semantics, idioms, and typical use cases.

It’s like how non-programming languages can use the same Latin alphabet but be vastly different in terms of grammar and culture.

A relative of mine works in the same room as 911 call-takers in western Canada. They’re having a big problem with this.
