Haha! An improvement over the Mac LC.

The social trend to replace technology with marketing. The banishment of nerds from technical fields. The obsession with status and notoriety and money to the complete exclusion of intellectual curiosity.

darksky.net the web site still works on Android

I must be Abby-Normal because I still work in an office. Somebody in $Company has to. Otherwise why even have an office.

I love it! I love how your demo is curl and not a web page frontend!

It was a good idea at the time but the mouse has been replaced by the touchscreen or touchpad almost everywhere just like the phone on his desk has been replaced by the mobile phone.

I like it. I like the comparison of face masks to seat belts. I just hope face masks won't become as permanent as seat belts.

I wore my mask today when I went outside. I don't need a scolding thanks.

I opened a new bank account specifically to pay Scaleway even though they announced during lockdown that ARM servers are discontinued.

SQLite is the backend where data goes to be sorted and analyzed and searched in a reasonable amount of time. I tried keeping everything in flat files and generating results with grep but for millions of records it was clear flat files and grep would be far too slow.

I join forums where I neglect to cultivate the necessary social capital required for anyone to care about anything I do. Then I get banned.

Coding is 99% marketing and 1% actual coding. You should give up and start a band that plays covers of songs by Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin. Musicians have a better chance of success than coders.

The hardest part of programming is finding workarounds for undocumented bugs. And I don't mean the kinds of details people have to be told on stackoverflow after refusing to read the manual. I mean genuinely showstopping bugs with nonobvious workarounds like HTML5 audio didn't fire the ended event in Safari until iOS 13.4. There's a guy who complained about it on his blog for eight years until Apple allegedly fixed it. And I say allegedly because I consider the fix to be broken and I still use a workaround which I had to discover for myself through original research.

The only part of programming which is easy is copying example code from the documentation. Once you build a nontrivial project that solves a real problem you're already working beyond the trivial. Real work gets real challenging real fast. If you're staying within the percentage of programming that's still easy then you're just doing copypasta and not really programming.

Yeah I like how TAO uses less quotes than JSON so you would need less " when encoding TAO in HTML.

Incorrect token "ZQ17ZLXlj1". Try again.

I think I broke it! :)
