A brown penguin chick of some kind. It looks very much like a man in a suit. It is bedraggled and miserable

Mercury has been great for 5 years, but the last year has been one of the dumbest I have ever experienced from a bank. Strike two.

this is such a terrible idea

it violates every decent programming principle (like DRY)

it wastes massive resources by design

it fractures all the good things about shared libraries, & isolates users bc nobody’s code will be identical

this is basically juicero for code on steroids

When a recipe says to add β€œone clove of garlic, or more to taste”, how many do you add? An entire head of garlic, right?

An Irish customer did a podcast episode and mentioned Stunning as one of the tools he uses. It’s pretty fun to hear an Irish guy repeatedly say Stunning in his accent 😊

I do not recommend trying to rip into a foil pack of Sudafed with your mouth, especially while you’re in a hurry to leave the house for a dental appointment (where you have to open your mouth wide basically the entire time).

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

Working out regularly in your 40s is great because you never quite know if you’re hurting because you’re falling apart or because you’re building muscle

I read in pragprog's newsletter that AI seems to be reducing people's need for books.

I guessed that.

But there is something that does not add up to me. If you don't train, you won't be able to spec, steer, and review.

Is like, a hole in knowledge is forming world-wide, just give it time.

Turns out, my Express Replacement iPhone that was overnighted to me via FedEx but still arrived 2 days late was late because… some FedEx employee stole it! I received a suspiciously light box today. Totally empty.

Cool cool cool cool

FedEx is the WORST

The underlying system in iOS really needs to be fixed. I constantly feel like I’m bothering my phone when I ask it to do something. Restarting it barely helps. What’s the point of a camera control button if you press it and it takes three seconds for the camera to open?

Ring is first and foremost a scheme to charge Amazon customers to deter crime that costs Amazon (not the customers themselves) billions annually in refunds, returns, double shipping, and customer service overhead.

"Fight against being ass" is a message that more people need to receive, tbh

Someone just cancelled their subscription and wrote: β€œlow support”. They literally never wrote in for support, and the last email we sent them 4 months ago (that they never replied to) was from
me, offering help if they needed it πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ
