Throttling everyone equally during times of congestion is also fair in its own way. I’d be okay with that.

When limiting is required, because many people are using the same network, limiting those who have already used the most seems fair.

Your comment might cause me to do something. You’re responsible. I don’t care what the legal definitions say.

If we don’t care about legal definitions, then how do we know you didn’t cause all this?

I haven’t written any Java since Java 6. This makes me so happy to hear.

What about XML, and XML based configs? Is the Java ecosystem still obsessed with XML?

I remember I was once trying to learn Hibernate. After finding what I thought looked like the best tutorial, I skimmed through it and there was literally no Java code in the tutorial about a Java library! It was all XML! I never could understand it, but this was early in my career, maybe I could handle it now, maybe not.

I don’t know. That’s what I was saying. I can’t possibly imagine what I could say to help someone understand that error message.

At least C++ build tools are easier than modern JS.

There’s also websites hosted in countries that don’t care about US law. We can access those even without a VPN, for now…

Somehow Trump returned… 🫠

I’ve always felt the nation of Israel is squatting on the name. Like, aren’t there people outside of Israel-the-nation that also claim to be Israel (in the Biblical sense)?

I once thought of a movie while coughing into a microphone. I opened the recorded cough with VLC and it played the movie.

Am… Am I pasta?

How about: regulate the 10 largest companies and we can save the Earth?

In times past they got shit done, and now we see that what they’ve done is shit and we’re stuck maintaining it.

Are you sure, I thought if a single molecule of soap touches my pan it would instantly look like this?

I like to put my estimates in writing somehow.

“My initial and unbiased estimate is 3 months.” Put it in an email, nothing will ever change the fact that my initial estimate was 3 months.
