Oh I’m sure, wasn’t saying otherwise. The whole thing is a joke.

I believe it’s saying that the drive-thru was open but the restaurant interior was closed.

I actually tend to drop off my mail ballots at the local library drop box.

Yeah our corporate machines won’t run any external media. I assumed that was standard practice.

The typical “30% on income” advice is based on gross, not net. Which is about 93,000 a year for the median mortgage payment right now.

Just to point out, with the median mortgage at $2349 a month, it’s more like you need a household income of $93,000 a year (probably closer to $100k with utilities and other expenses) for your housing costs to equal 30% of your income. That is steep for a lot of people, but still much more attainable than 7 figures. A quick Google says that makes up around 37% of US households as of 2022. Still doesn’t quite add up to their figures, admittedly, unless “nearly half” is doing a lot of work in that sentence.

Spoken like someone who knows absolutely nothing about vim/unix.

I’m sure it’s fine for small-scale usage, but overall it’s extremely inflexible and doesn’t really scale well at all. There’s also a lot of very basic functionality that’s straight up missing. For example, there’s no way to have a global epic priority. You can rearrange epics in an epic board, but the ordering of the epics there is not persisted elsewhere. There were many, many other shortcomings we kept running into.

Oh, and after a lot of our tickets had been imported (which itself was a huge undertaking since the auto import tools are complete trash), it started to be very slow. It feels like a very unfinished, unpolished product.

We use Gitlab’s CI/CD features extensively at my current job and it’s very, very nice. That’s what they are actually good at, not project management.

I also wonder if people complaining about Jira are still on Jira Server. Jira Cloud is a much nicer experience. Certainly not perfect, but I’ve yet to see an actual viable alternative (once worked someplace that tried to move all project management to Gitlab… 🤮).

Uh, there are an absolute fuckload of Java libs out there with nothing more than auto-generated garbage Javadocs.

I dunno, plenty of those sound pretty reasonable.

It’s been massively effective and has put them on the defensive in a way no other criticism ever has.

That used to be true, but in recent years he has gotten a lot more conservative, so I personally take his predictions with a huge grain of salt.

Obviously there’s a small handful of things that would require a reboot, but unlike Windows, the vast majority of programs in user space don’t require reboots on update.

There’s also the fact that restarting Windows to update is a much slower and more disruptive experience than restarting Linux.

The manufacturer obviously also makes the app and can control the encoding.

You don’t have to take arbitrary bytes. UTF-8 encoded strings are just fine and easily handled by libraries.

At minimum you need to limit the request size to avoid DOS attacks and such. But obviously that would be a much larger limit than anyone would use for a password.

After having my honeymoon practically ruined by an owner’s insane rules (posted EVERYWHERE throughout the place), I’ve vowed to never use an Airbnb again. Plus the junk fees are fucking insane.

Give me a proper hotel with proper service any day of the week.

It’s funny you mention Reddit because there was a subreddit dedicated to making fun of shit “centrist” takes like yours: https://www.reddit.com/r/ENLIGHTENEDCENTRISM/.

The fact is that politics in the US is skewed so far to the right that the options are center-right (Democrats) or far, extremist right (Republicans).

All it means is if you were to reverse the order of the characters, you’d get the same string you started with. So “dog” isn’t a palindrome because when you reverse it, you get “god”. “dog god” is a palindrome, though, because if you read it backwards, it’s also “dog god”.
