carc1n0gen··on Encoding your WiFi access point password into a QR code

carc1n0gen··on Slack’s new WYSIWYG input box is terrible
I don't know. It's really not that bad. No one is forcing you to click on these new buttons. The old markdown(ish) syntax still works, and even formats live as you type it, which for me is awesome.

I read ant as aunt and was very confused, then realized what happened once opening the link.

carc1n0gen··on Drone Bubble Bursts, Wiping Out Startups and Hammering VC Firms
It kept getting harder and harder for me to legally use my drone. I own a parrot drone that weighs 500g. That uses to be the upper limit to not need an aviation license or certificate of some kind, and Insurance. Now 250g and up have those requirements, so I just stopped using it. I only used it once every few months for some arial footage anyway.

carc1n0gen··on Rose Marie Bentley lived for 99 years with organs in all the wrong places
In my experience the concern isn't the damage you cause to your car, but the confusion you give the driver behind you when your left foot resting on the break makes your break lights go on and off
carc1n0gen··on Animating URLs with JavaScript and Emojis
Working perfectly fine on my firefox
carc1n0gen··on Why I hate the weekends (2017)
I worked a turkey egg production farm for 4 years before becoming a software developer. I can say without a doubt that the cognitive load software development brings has been worse on me than the 12 hour days on the farm ever were.

Understandably that's just one guys experience though.
