ars technica: we don't know how they did it but google chrome now extracts a pint of blood every time you log on
chrome user, dizzy from blood loss: I swear to god I am like this close to switching to firefox
another chrome user, on the verge of fainting from severe blood loss: no need to resort to that, just switch to [insert today's trendy chrome fork here] and be smart like meeee

I think it's been years since I took a couple of days off and have felt the need to work on every side project I started. I think I did touch three of them already before day 1 is over.
I want an apology from all the mansplainers that mocked my belief that privatizing NASA and relying this heavily on SpaceX would undermine the national security policy of the United States.

@leah Not a string, but I had to think of the flexible regex delimiters in many languages now.

I've not heard from DropBox since I last used it in 2014, unless I forgot some sync job on some host (unlikely) - but I've been getting "your account is nearly full" mails for about two weeks now. Weird.

Every time I read about people being happy with emacs I kinda want to try it again, but then I remember all the times I gave up on day 2. Guess this will never work out unless I am somehow forced to use it on a daily basis, e.g. if my team wrote only Lisp.
putting a pronoun picker in your game is not only the right thing to do it makes the worst people in humanity have huge meltdowns basically for free so i can only say i recommend it highly
Meet Sarah and Andy. Sarah is an engineer, Andy is a male engineer. The male engineer T-shirt is more expensive because "the standard version has to be adapted to fit the non-standard male body".
They sure got their priorities straight at the manwhohasitallshop.com. 👚 Brilliant! 🔥

As a software developer I find the actors' and writers' strike somewhat curious.
Imagine most important software was done in one region of one country and all developers were organized in one union and the machine could stand still, just like that. It's kinda bizarre.
Also of course I applaud them standing up to the hypercapitalism that is Hollywood and the big streaming services, but that doesn't make me better at not being able to imagine this, because you can substitute most professions for software developers, with some exceptions.
Seen in a code comment: "Thankfully, we can do this with the power of C++ templates"
Well, author, you might be thankful but I can assure you I am not.
