Wasn’t there a story about people calling curl devs because of car issues?

For what it’s worth, I’m sure the SQLite devs could help somebody clean up their temp files. They just really shouldn’t have to.

Self-documenting code, high contrast… Carry on.

Yes! Hahaha, it’s so good.

Number 2 needs to flick the little switch on the SD card.

I was not prepared for this. I came here for jokes.

I smell a NotImplementedException somewhere.

A “technical limitation” is just a feature with a poor ROI on engineering hours on a spreadsheet. I mean, on Microsoft 365 Excel.

Measure once, cut 38 times.

Something something monopoly, something something gatekeepers. They don’t need a war chest big enough to sue Apple, they just need to convince the EU to do it. I’m sure they saw this coming from the start.

When you pick the wrong column for your primary key.

If I’m reading this correctly, they’re adding your name to your site profile, but that’s not visible and is not linked to your reviews.

That specificity makes the situation much less terrifying than the title alone would imply.

[checks personal website]

Yes, shame on them!

Presumably you’re a UK citizen using .uk in accordance with the controlling entity’s terms and conditions. These folks weren’t in the same boat.

[flashbacks to the backlog being wiped out because “the client already signed off on the release”]

[feverishly applauds]

Thanks for the transcription!

Surely Java can tell the difference between a key with a null value and the absence of that key, no?

I mean, you can set up your deserialization to handle nulls in different ways, but a string to object dictionary would capture this, right?

Because they didn’t want to train their JS developers and didn’t want to cause friction for new projects. They get to say they’re using TS, with basically none of the real advantages. (Apart from general rational error checking.)

Sure, but also the broader “join my Patreon to get access to my Discord server” market. It’s actually a pretty clever move, if there’s a market for it (there is) and if it replaces more insidious revenue streams (it won’t).

Have you tried installing homebrew?

A recall is the legally defined process to address a safety issue. From NTSHA’s documentation.

Manufacturers voluntarily initiate many of these recalls, while others are either influenced by NHTSA investigations or ordered by NHTSA via the courts. If a safety defect is discovered, the manufacturer must notify NHTSA, as well as vehicle or equipment owners, dealers, and distributors. The manufacturer is then required to remedy the problem at no charge to the owner. NHTSA is responsible for monitoring the manufacturer's corrective action to ensure successful completion of the recall campaign.

There was a safety issue and it was addressed by the manufacturer: huzzah!

Even physical mechanical changes don’t usually require the car to go back to the factory, they’re often addressed as part of routine maintenance.

The term may feel misleading, but it exists and is used in a specific context.

With the healthy second-hand market for iPhones, that would be great. Let buyers decide how they feel about previous repairs, offer transparency.

The unhelpful move is requiring a connection to Apple’s servers to calibrate replacement parts.

I’m gonna go find an SRE to hug, it sounds like they need it.

How are you liking the Brexit expansion? I felt like was overhyped and overrated.

Yes, but did you get the job?

Also props for the image description.

Yeah, I’m all about Jetbrains in Night theme. Thanks for the alt text, by the way.

I think we’re fully in agreement here: if the API doesn’t specify how to handle null values, that omission means they’re perfectly valid and expected.

Imagine a delivery company’s van exploding if somebody attempts to ship an empty box. That would be a very poorly built van.

Programming is just plumbing with words

[sits quietly in the corner]

I think I know some of the people who wrote this. Unless more than a few people work this way. That can’t be true, right? Right!?

I’m looking forward to finally getting into Code 7. It’s mostly a sci-fi text adventure.

After loving Prey, I’m now playing Dishonored. So far so good, I like how quickly I was able to get zooming and target highlighting in lore appropriate ways!

Would you like a snake to replace your camel?

It’s awesome that you enjoyed it that much!

The gameplay mechanics and basic concepts are very well established in the audiogame space, so this game was by no means revolutionary within the blind community.

What’s really cool about it is that it’s approachable for sighted players, such as yourself, and the voice acting is pretty good indeed.

I also really like that the main character is a strong disabled female lead. A lot of things just happen to her, but she still *does * a lot.

No, all the cool kids use Vim.

Some other Central and Eastern European ones are weird as well.

Every time I go into the office we take like 5 coffee breaks throughout the day. Some coworkers have switched from pods to espresso machines to bring down the cost per cup.

Is it just my team? I feel like this is pretty common.

You joke, but that’s how a lot of the stuff I work on is documented. Passed along from one developer to the next - legends, really.

I decided to be wrong because the correct joke would be too convoluted. I’ll work on that implementation and then you can inject it at runtime via reflection.

Very good human.

The cool thing to do now is to write it in Rust, only using the standard library.

People deleted the content they had access to. As protesting subreddits went back to being public, the content they hadn’t been able to delete became visible again.
