When you unwittingly leave yourself a code timebomb

No joke, I literally know a sysadmin who has a similarly “generic” English name, talks with the same sort of cadence, and even looks similar. I actually clipped that quote from the episode and set it as my notification when he texts me lol.

This is where another one of your pied piper boxes would go

Filing cabinets or oil paints? Which is better?

Excuse me, but it’s GNU/Cancer

(sorry couldn’t resist, best of luck Stallman)

Road to hell, good intentions and all that. Government fundamentally misunderstanding the role of cookies and the fact that browsers can handle user privacy with trivial effort by default rather than having every single website annoy the fuck out of you with a million goddamn notifications before actually showing you what you want to see.

Considering the extreme gender disparity of online dating, I’m inclined to agree. Funny how no one cares about that inequality.

I use it regularly (web dev). A lot of complaints and mockery stems from using it badly. None of the programming languages that are regularly the butt of everyone’s jokes force you to use them badly, they just allow you to. If you follow good practices, you’ll be just fine.

What happens if you spoof the user agent?

I thought cops already had a system for that called “driving while black.”

It’s better to run your own server anyway, and it’s pretty easy to setup if you have tech experience.

The mono bank shirt lmao

Python programmers, brace yourself for this…

Oh wait.

In my experience (Javascript and PHP, which both have plenty of footguns), these pitfalls can be avoided by using good practices.

Just because they are dynamically typed doesn’t mean you have to use dynamic typing. Don’t type switch your variables.

Just because you don’t have to use brackets in a certain scenario doesn’t mean you can’t. Use them as needed for clarity.

That kind of thing.

Remember when Google’s official motto was “don’t do evil?”

Apparently, they don’t.

I hate that everything useful is being thrown out the window for “water proofing.” Fuck that, people need to quit being so lazy and careless with their shit.

And I’m calling bullshit on the dust thing. I’m not saying it’s a negligible consideration, but it’s not something they need to start gelding features for. That’s just a horseshit excuse to effectuate planned obsolescence and sell you overpriced accessories.

I still use an 8 year old phone with a tool-free replaceable battery, headphone jack, and microSD slot. I live in the country, there’s dust everywhere and it would be dead by now if dust was such a problem.

Is this a shoop or did this actually happen?
