I thought this was depicting some chad offering support to a transfem, at first. Didn’t even consider he might be trans himself.

I was extremely confused for the first minute when I thought it was a cat.

Name would suggest it’s part of the upcoming developer verification feature. The one that will prevent installation of any app from a developer not registered with Google, without jumping through some extra hoops.

The thing I learned when I had dishwasher issues was to always start with the manual. You’ll probably be surprised with how much info is in the manual.

The Samsung dishwasher I had issues with had 50+ pages worth of diagnostics and repair instructions, including detailed meanings for every unique error code that can occur, and instructions for putting the whole unit into a test mode, where you can force each motor to run independently, run test routines for sensors, etc. Gave me everything I could want for DIY repairs.

Can’t say it’s always this nice, of course, but this adivce has served me well for other appliances since.

You may not, without prior written permission from the Author…create an API-compatible replacement, behavioral clone, competing implementation, or Derivative Implementation

Loooooooooooooool. “You’re not allowed to reverse-engineer this reverse-engineering tool.”

Unless I’m mistaken, this wasn’t written by the folks that scaped GitHub in the first place, someone just wrote a small tool to semi-automate the process of searching the scraped dats, and submitting a GitHub issue to have it removed.

I literally discovered this yesterday when I sat down to look for options to play Halo with my son, which he’s expressed interest in for a while now. $50, no split-screen co-op, and an always-online requirement with third-party account linkage. Yeah, I’ll be dropping that $50 on a used physical copy and a second controller, after digging the 360 out of the garage. Piss off, Microsoft.

Anecdotally, from a programming support community I hang out in…

i’ve never seen anyone promote the values of Clean Architecture in the practical world. The only reason I even know about it, really, is because it’s a pretty popular topic for amateur/beginner developers to come in and ask about, because they read a book or a blog article about it, or are being taught about it in a class. And the response is always, universally, “Don’t use Clean Architecture, use Vertical Slice Architecture.”

I get the vibe that it’s been popularized in the same pattern as microservices or lambda functions: someone at a super-scaled company like Google or Amazon published a blog post about it, and how it works for them for some niche scenario, and everyone latched on to it as trendy, despite the fact that their scenarios are NOTHING alike

I choose to believe this is satire. Also that this man holds no significant position of prominence within the industry.

My guess would be that it’s geard towards bugfixes. If a consumer discovers and fixes a bug in the original source, they’re obliged to push it back upstream, or at least publish it so others can. Vut they still get the freedom of MIT to add new closed-source features or work it into a larger-scale closed-source project.

I’d always assumed most cams are pirated by the projectionist, or other employee.

The dreaded crossover cable.

PoE devices are built to tolerate high voltages. Certainly not lightning-level, but you gotta figure that’s not what really ran rampant through your network. Just enough of a momentary spike to fry stuff that doesn’t have safeties.

Surplus wind power hoists 35-ton blocks cast from recycled concrete and industrial aggregate toward the top.

Using recycled concrete seems be a solid mitigation for the environmental concern. The world’s got no shortage of scrap concrete.

Uhhh, yo, where Sonic '06 at?

Because Windows 11 will never touch hardware I own. I’ve been using it at work for several years, I’ve experienced first-hand their utter disdain for users, and privacy.

When Sovereign Citizenship meets programming.

Lol, he straight-up looks like Patrick Bateman.

Slighly funny as a joke, but it’s a real nonsense comparison. Public code hosted on GitHub is constantly changing, a physicsl copy is basically meaningless. Plus, you ALREADY own your code, by nature of it being DRM-free. You can copy it as many times as you want and store it on whatever medium you want. If this was something the PS6 was offering, the cancellation of physical media would be a nothing burger.

PlayStation has announced that they will stop producing physical releases, soon, and I believe they’ve said the PS6 will have no disc drive at all.

No idea how Rockstar fits in.
