Kinda funny that where I came from, Bose is already “high-end”…

I seriously thought that that headline was a euphemism for the current state of the world...

That’s quite easy for me because I’m Filipino! And coincidentally, I’m also residing in Germany. :D

Was this named after the Tagalog word?

Not yet

I remember reading somewhere, that the predominant car colours of a certain time are associated or correlated to the economic outlook of the day. Maybe that's what's at play here?

> people wear bending rules as a badge of honour

It's actually quite similar for most in the Philippines. Yeah, there are some smaller cliques or sub-groups where this is frowned upon, but it is mostly also a "badge of honour".

For me, the title of the "Most Polarizing (Luxury) Watch Brand" would go to Richard Mille.

I thought it was going to be made of cloth that stiffens when current passes through it... :)

The word "kinky" sounds so tame nowadays, especially with that news about Diddy...

Some of those are actually pretty good. Anybody tried upscaling them?

This experiment always reminds me of Beakman's World because that's where I first learned of this. :-)

How about on the floor?

Genuinely curious... What is worth discussing here?

Kinda too late to think about "brand damage" since their parent company is already named "The Swatch Group", and this was actually already a talking point at the time the parent company was renamed: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/swatch-name-nick-hayek

The page does not seem to be loading for me?

> Web developers should have all major web browsers installed anyway.

Agree. Even if not a web developer, one can use different browsers for different purposes at the same time.

Yeah, the built-in blocker in Brave does, too.

One does not choose web browsers on adblocking capabilities alone. Some may need Chromium features that FF do not have, so it’s nice to have options, even if one specific feature (i.e., adblock) is just 80-90% as good as the other.

Yes, but they modify it to build adblock in, so one does not need to install a separate plugin.

Time to start using Brave then?

Is there something like the SO Developer Survey for other industries?

Is there maybe an update to this, that’s why it’s reposted?

Not directly related, but this made me feel nostalgic for RapidShare. :-)

People have been saying DevOps is dead… But this is something popular or even basic for DevOps practitioners, albeit with a different name: Canary release.

I assume that by “we” you meant the United States, so the question is: How much moral authority/integrity is there left to discredit?

I think because he was already 37 or 38 at that time, and was suffering from injuries, too. There was no point continuing if both his body and mind are not the way they used to be.

Kinda similar to how Kobe Bryant knew it's time to retire from the game of basketball. He said in an interview (https://youtu.be/Ya8hY0S-8t0?t=54) that he knew it's time when during his morning meditations, his mind will not drift to basketball anymore.

Keyword is scale, specifically massive scale. If your scope is just a couple of (web)servers, then, yeah, you can stick with your tried-and-tested tools and processes. But once you start managing 10s or 100s of servers, including a requirement to recover (i.e., redeploy) them ASAP after an outage, then your basic tools and processes might not be enough…
