Why?

    
77 + 3 = 80
80 + 30 = 110

  

I don’t understand why it’s upsetting:

    
500 ÷ 2 = 250
50 ÷ 2 = 25
250 + 25 = 275

  

Not a fan of Ronnie nor Donnie but DeSanctimonious was the most fucking stupid nickname

One can dream

As a developer it’s quite shocking the grip AWS has on the internet. I run a side business that’s AWS-free and loving it, but its tentacles are probably behind everything I use as an end-user. Everything at my full-time job is built on AWS.

I dreamt that I was traveling in Germany and didn’t want to be called out as American, so the dream switched to Spanish (my second language). My brain did try Mandarin and Japanese but it was probably too resource intensive for a dream.

Having never been to Europe, “Germany” looked a lot more like Mexico than anything.

I feel like this is claiming that Windows has better UI/UX which I always find hilarious.

Which 20 versions of UI are you talking about? Is it Ribbon, Metro, 9x, XP, or half of the non-native JS apps that Microsoft pushes on its own platform (especially funny to me considering they ditch their own UI API)?

Linux can be a very crummy UX too, but using Windows as some sort of standard for comparison is a joke.

While working in fast food working as a manager I had a store manager that would cuss you out, but one thing I loved about her is I would cuss back and explain myself to which she’d be like “oh, that makes sense.”

Their app was so futuristic on the original iPhone, then it went to shit pretty quick. It looks/behaves like an unmaintained Ruby on Rails 3.1 app.

I’d totally check it out but I have 100% of Google blocked. 💀

I don’t have a great answer but I’m sure most modern browsers have locked down their address bar (and bookmarks) enough that it’s not possible without enabling developer features.

I’d say start on Ubuntu too. I actually kind of hate it, but it’s was my second or third Linux distro and was stable enough to jump into it, learn stuff then form an opinion about what I want in a distro and move on.

I think a lot of people get hung up on this — for basic use, a lot of distros offer more or less the same things. It’s when you start to drill into the lower level stuff (that you’re probably not now concerned with) that you become pickier with distros.

I’m actually happy to say I haven’t necessarily had any bad programming related interviews. In fact, as someone with zero professional development experience but a healthy portfolio (side business for former employer, systems built for prior jobs not related to development) I’d say it was almost too easy to finally land a full time development job.

I’m so anti-Ubuntu but I would probably put that out there and roll with it. You can move on to something better once you figure it out anyway.

I don’t think I’d make that information public were I in their shoes. Wouldn’t that be a hint for anyone attempting to crack them?

I’m explaining why I’m a programmer for some context why I’m interested in technology, not to argue that all programmers hate gaming.

I was replying against the smug “you must’ve been born in the 2000s” comment. I’m arguing that not everyone is into gaming just because this is a technology community, and to maybe drop the attitude because someone isn’t cOoL like them because they were born earlier. 🙄

You cut out your eyes for fun?

Patience.

Everywhere I go people meander like zombies whether it’s walking, driving, shopping, etc. I can’t figure out why people are soooooo slow, do they have nothing to accomplish? It constantly puts me off, but it’s probably because I moved to a big city in the west (US) coast.

I noticed you linked to a news source and it reminds me how close to impossible it is find information directly from the government unless you’re wiling to go to some homepage and click 16 trillion times, and hopefully you’re blocking third-party scripts because for some reason AdSense is loaded on every fucking page.

If you already have an account, after login there will be like 16 alerts (“flash” alerts in Ruby on Rails speak) and if you’re lucky maybe one is relevant to you.

Is that overused? I can’t think of a time I’ve read that and disagreed, and I haven’t seen it used often (especially in headlines).
