When building apps that connect to APIs, we typically focus on getting the app to work. But what happens when the API is slow, returns errors, or becomes unavailable? When in doubt, add another layer of indirection
Sorry, I'm too lazy to look up the exact quote today.

Why is it that so many languages use semicolons for their statement terminators Because no one knows how they're supposed to be used?
Or at least few; because I know I'll be corrected by some of you.

As any Visual Studio Code user knows, the editor's command palette is a powerful tool for getting things done quickly, without having to navigate through menus and dialogs. Who needs THOSE MENUs anyway?
OK, they haven't had THOSE MENUs for years (and they were only around for a short while anyway). But their memory lives on.
|
|
|
|
|
Technically, they still have THOSE MENUS; it's just that the "Apply title case styling to menu bar" option seems to be ticked by default now.

Guess someone should blow up ATT again. If they need other ISP addresses, I can google them, hit me up.
If they proceed, I do hope the kids start a massive f***ing riot... electronically.

Answering the question: How'd we get to this breeding ground of meh--and how can you crush it before it crushes you? You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, well, you might find you get what something mediocre that gets jammed into everything

A new report from Imperva finds that 49.6 percent of all internet traffic came from bots in 2023, a two percent increase over the previous year, and the highest level since the company began monitoring automated traffic in 2013. And most of that is just me

Microsoft's third preview of .NET 9 sees a lot of minor tweaks and fixes with no earth-shaking new functionality, but little things can be important to individual developers. In the future, .NET will provide features targeting individual developers

I'm still trying to figure why I should much care about .NET <#odd> if they aren't LTS. Knowing what's coming when it's "real" is good I guess, but they tend towards adjusting it such that you'd have been better off never knowing about it until the final cut so as to avoid future confusion.
I think the release cadence is a bit fast and hope we're not destined for whatever "overdevelopment" in C# that all the C++ gurus were bitching about in their sphere a fair while back.
I've always been a MSFT fanboy. They'd more recently taken .NET a good direction and made some great strides. I hope they're not really going to mess it up by bloating it with nonsense. I also think LTS of 3 years is a year or two short. We're running .NET that's 10 years old in some legacy spots.

The XZ Utils backdoor that recently sent ripples of concern through the Linux community may have only been the beginning. Who will maintain the maintainers?

Clever boys, put the spotlight on the backdoor and you will never see what's coming from the front door.

Return with me to the Glory Days of Windows XP, which apparently some people, somehow, are still using even though support for it ended in...2014. If it is broke, why fix it?
