The guidelines in Germany say the first line of the screen should be 10cm (4 ½in) below your eyes. I find that uncomfortable, too.

C) Write a highly specific, custom-tailored boilerplate generator that does 80% of the work and needs only a day or two to implement.

Yet again, punctuation matters.

Maybe start rendering pages right?

I’m not a wordologist. Do words become harder to say when they’re longer? I mean, alalalalalong has 6 syllables.

Vanilla Music – the music player I use.

Is that Tom Scott from the future?

Might be my imagination is playing tricks on me.

I think this refers to everyday household items being powered by some unspecified kind of uranium engine.

Coding must be a nightmare if you’re choosing programming languages at random 😱

But you must also be learning quite a lot.

Programs aren’t written by a single team of developers that speak the same language. You’d be calling a library by a Hungarian with additions from an Indian in a framework developed by Germans based on original work by Mexicans.

If no-one were forcing all of them to use English by only allowing English keywords, they’d name their variables and functions in their local language and cause mayhem to readability.

[Edit:] Even with all keywords being forced to English, there’s often half-localized code.

I can’t find the source right now, but I strongly believe that Steve McConnell has a section in one of his books where he quotes a function commented in French and asks, “Can you tell the pitfall the author is warning you about? It’s something about a NullPointerException”. McConnell then advises against local languages even in comments

Do they think

no.

LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP $300

I’m inclined to buy that just because it exists. I hate subscription services so, so much!

This is the best option if you think you’ll use Nebula for more than 5 years.

It’s supposed to help with dyslexia.

If only their “automatic” updater worked without throwing errors on every migration…

I know Safari 15.3 doesn’t support feature Y, but I also know the current version does. Now I want to know if I can just use the feature or if I need to program around Safari 15.3. It would be nice to just look at the server logs from last month and see if someone still uses it.

I work in IT. We get notified when people leave.

The cruelest thing in my company is when we get to know before the person in question…

As I said, inappropriate but legal.

Even if they find you partying in your home, what are they going to do? You got a doctor’s note [for the Americans here: You have to get one and it’s free] saying that you can’t work that day.

There’s no law against visiting someone, even if you’re their boss and they are sick.

Highly inappropriate, but not illegal IMHO.
