Editing perl in BBEdit. What a wonderful tool!

“We’ve got both kinds. Country and Western.”

I live in a nice neighborhood, but am a long-term tenant. One night, late, there was a huge party at a nearby short-term rental.

I asked, politely, for them to turn the music down so I could sleep.

They responded by throwing anything they could get their hands on over the fence, including cinder blocks, bricks and the like.

So, I’m not a huge fan of any of that. Thankfully, it was an isolated incident.

Love my 12c. RPN for the win.

So asking Congress for a competitive advantage?

I might read this differently.

Perhaps an ambitious entrepreneur may be better able to understand what drives business value and translate that into architecture + code?

It may not be a years-long engagement, but certainly the experience brings value.

I replaced the stereo in my ‘05 Tacoma with a new, touchscreen-with-CarPlay head unit. I hate not having a physical volume knob.

I do love the modern features. But hunting for that volume up/down button for a maddening while driving and unsafe.

I’ll be installing this tonight! Spotify on my Apple TV is my go-to for winding down before bed. I’ve always wanted what I call “video mute.”

I WTF’ed out loud after comparing a merge request to the actual commit history that I can see on `origin` for that branch.

> and video streaming platforms would be told to show videos in standard definition only.

Does an HD stream use significantly more energy than SD? Pardon my ignorance, I’ve just never thought about it.

I put myself in this very position with some cache expiration times.

Almost everything in the server-side that is related to times for a particular client uses milliseconds. Of course, redis’s `SETEX` does not. It uses seconds.

The data got quite stale. But, much like this post, other bugs were uncovered and usefully fixed.

The loss of institutional knowledge do to firing / quitting would have already dealt quite a blow to the organization’s ability to operate. Now this…

Just downloaded this, and it is quite pleasant to use. Nice work!

I mostly agree with you, but I did find some value in the quotation (paraphrased, because I’ve closed the article) “Focus on doing the right things rather than doing things right.”

I’ve worked in both “tech” and “tech-adjacent” roles over 20+ years. The tech-side of the equation often compensates better, the adjacent roles can have job security like you’d not believe, though it may be a bit boring. YMMV

Every hotel in the city is legally required to provide a public restroom.

Would a listserv be appropriate?

Depends on your use case: synchronicity, volume of messages, etc.

I fail to understand who would benefit from a DDOS on SO.

Perhaps I missed it, but the single biggest reason that I moved away from SPAs (such as React) and back to server-side rendering of templates is avoiding having to model my data twice. That’s a lot of overhead.

Granted, I’m in the B2B software space, so end-user expectations are those of accuracy, consistency and performance. I imagine expectations (or perhaps priorities) are different for consumer-facing applications.

Perhaps “shirt, solid pattern”

This is among my primary frustrations, but I cannot find a polite way to address it, especially with overseas employees. I don’t want to come off as rude.

Hah! Reminds me of myself as a youth, but I was trying to find people primes with an utterly horrible Perl script. I wish I still hade my early code from my salad days.

If you're using Gradle + jcenter repository, it will fail.

I ran into this when building a Flutter mobile app, relying on Gradle to fetch dependencies.

There is more information here: https://blog.gradle.org/jcenter-shutdown

I was able to find all the dependencies I needed on the Maven Central repository, so it was a quick fix in my case.

Thank you for bringing this up. I’d not considered the cargo aspect.

This is interesting, but the linked article doesn’t delve into the potential effects that decreasing gas prices might have on either the supply or demand sides, nor does it inform the reader about potential knock-on effects of such a move.

How does this affect an alleged move to a greener energy economy?

Are there deleterious effects for oil producers in the US? Or internationally?

Is the US energy reserve in a potentially worse position by releasing this amount?

I appreciate the statement of fact, but this particular article leaves me with more questions than answers.

Perhaps I’m just not well-versed enough in this particular area of the global economy.

I happily use SQLite via `sqflite`, a Flutter library, to store and retrieve data for an offline-first mobile app. This is my first time really using it, and I’m quite pleased with the experience and the familiar feel of using SQL.

Relevant article from Texas Monthly regarding the history of Osage Orange:

Restaurants commonly pay a commission of 10-25% already. They also expend through their staffing in terms of answering numerous calls (many robocalls in the case of DoorDash), managing to-go orders, etc.

I use two moderately sized monitors, in portrait mode, as well as a larger monitor, in landscape between.
