First they removed downloads and now this? Feels shitty. I used this feature weekly to watch a show with a remote friend.

Head’s up – there’s a law firm which many on RFD are talking about being served demand letters from, after repeated warnings were ignored.

Don’t worry though, the demand letters are largely baseless and unenforceable, especially since the SCoC ruled last year that service bill payers are not responsible for the actions of their network users.

Merged -> gone gold

Deployed -> gone platinum

Gone a week without crashing production -> triple platinum

• Push directly to master, not main
• No command line args, just change the global const and recompile
• No env vars either
• Port numbers only go up to 5280, the number of feet in a mile
• All auth is just a password; tokens are minority developers, not auth, and usernames are identity politics
• No hashes – it’s the gateway drug to fentanyl
• No imports. INTERNAL DEVELOPERS FIRST
• Exceptions are now illegal and therefore won’t occur, so no need to check for them
• SOAP/XML APIs only
• No support for external machines. If it’s good enough for my machine, it’s good enough for yours.

So they’re one of us? Welcome to the club, outlaws!

Just some of my favourites from recent years.

Yeah, he reimplemented it in Java to get garbage collection. The Alzheimer’s is cured but he takes ten minutes to pour a glass of water.

Whoops, stopped the lungs process instead of the cardiac arrest process.

Actually you really want to restart the heart service, right? sudo systemd restart heart

Subcom: noum (informal) a submissive comedy

This is partly why I prefer Firefox’s implementation of the find feature - it allows case-sensitive search while Chrome does not support it.

Surely the word ‘in’ would appear countless times out of context on the table of contents.

I refuse to pay for pirated content out of principal. It’s bad enough that I’m infringing copyright (and boy do I!) but commercialized piracy rubs me the wrong way. I even prefer Bittorrent over Usenet and FOSS media software over commercial software. Yarr!

At work they just call me: “Put those pens back and get outta here; you were fired weeks ago!”

Great song and free as in freedom.

I prefer “super-availability”.

I’m a developer and I hardly ever compile shit for my personal computer from source. I’d rather use a package manager, sure, but on Windows that’s by far the exception to the rule and if you want regular users to use your app, it needs to be a downloadable EXE.
