I bet it doesn't even run Kubernetes.

I often sit on the couch or bed while working.

I'm using a 24GB M2 Air running a development environment in Docker, and no problems here. Running several containers, MySQL, elastic search, redis. It feels really fast compared to a 2020 i7 6-core with 32 GB. It doesn't get hot. It's silent. Running the environment cuts battery life, though I still get around 8 hours on a full charge.

Step away from it, do something else. I find my mind will process it in the background. After a day or so, I may be ready to tackle it.

Looks like your cars Kubernetes certificates have expired after a year, we'll need to SSH in and run kubeadm to refresh them. Wait, the 5G pod isn't starting ...

I've often noticed developers seeing a project for the first time and not long after proclaim it as "bad code" and that it needs to be refactored or rewritten (with zero thought as to whether it's good for the customers or the business.)

The EU cookie legislation was a mistake made by tech-illiterate bureaucrats that ruined the Web to a large degree. It's something that could've been built in to the browser. I have a hard time understanding why one would dedicate their time to this.

I don't understand. Then I won't be able to put Kubernetes, Microservices and AWS on my CV.

Using a mouse for an extended period makes my hand hurt

I've read a lot about people complaining about the rubberyness and smooth shifting being difficult, but it's perfectly fine.

I'm on my way to pick up a manual car today (BMW M2) I've just had about a year with a similar automatic car, but I miss the feel of the car when I'm shifting through gears.

The next car for me is probably going to something similar - or an EV.

Which email service should one recommend in these cases? ProtonMail?

They shouldn't, and I agree.

Sure, if you read it literally. On the other hand, they're probably angry and writing this sort of thing for venting their frustration.

Absolutely, ones mental wellbeing is the most important thing. But for this example, I would make a mental note that this could be an area to improve, not write a response like this–which isn't good for your mental health either.

It's important to separate your work from yourself. The user was frustrated by the software, not by you.

While the authors' reaction is understandable as the software is free, it's also important to take emails like this to heart. Emails like this come from a place of frustration, and there's usually some underlying issue that can be found and improved on. Sometimes users have been frustrated for a long time, and the small issue at hand is irrelevant. It's the whole experience of the software being too cumbersome that leads to a user throwing in the towel sending an email like this.

I agree, keto is probably uniquely suited for my lifestyle and tastes. YMMV as they say.

I didn't consume whipping cream except when making sauces.

> Its not sustainable, you'll loose muscle mass.

It worked well for me, my endurance in e.g. cycling improved. However usually stay on it about half a year to lose extra weight and then go back to a "regular" diet.

I don't doubt this works, but I'd rather do e.g. keto where I can eat delicious meals and still feel fully satiated.

EU generally can’t make good (tech) legislation. Cookie law is the goto example. It’s too complicated. Too many cooks.

Exactly. Paddle saves me so much time and money. I couldn’t even imagine what my accountant would bill for something similar.

Why show screenshot thumbnails when you can't click to enlarge? Infuriating.

Someone should do the same with the new MitID implementation! :-)

I see a lot of posters saying they don't like the algo feed, but I prefer it. When I launch twitter, I really want to see what's going on, what I've missed and what the current popular posts are. I follow hundreds of accounts, and if I were to go through it all in rev chron order, it would take hours.

I think companies like Google, Apple and Microsoft have realized that QA departments and software quality aren't worth it. People have gotten used to buggy software. At Apple, there's no Steve Jobs that cares about whether things actually work. Releasing new features to get media attention is more profitable than making sure the features actually work. We'll never see something like Snow Leopard again with its "no new features". Internally at these companies, there's also no reason for developers to care about quality. It's not rewarded by the managers.

Additionally, we as developers keep building software using more and more complicated tools that seem fancy and new to us, but are brittle and don't deliver good software in the end. We keep adding more and more layers of abstraction, both on the frontend and backend. Why? To put it on our CV. Things are moving so fast that we're afraid to get left behind. We're at a point where things just keep getting more and more complicated – actually keeping something alive (let alone building new features or making those features work) takes more and more man hours.

This was an important design goal for Webhook.site, which I'm the founder of. You're instantly in the app, you get the unique URL and you're ready to do. No need to click anywhere. By now I've lost count of how many people have written to me saying they appreciate this aspect of the product.

On Debian-based systems, I get a preview of what's going to be installed/updated when I do something with `apt`.

With homebrew, I never know how many packages will be updated and how long it will take, so sometimes when I just need a small utility, suddenly it'll update a bunch of packages and it takes 45 minutes.

It's a UI problem.

The 12” was a truly awesome machine, and it would’ve been even more great with the M1.

It's really sad that Germany is shutting down and replacing nuclear with coal due to Fukushima.
