• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Trek Coffees Launching In May With Several Blends⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I bought some of the Star Trek branded wines a few years back. They were unremarkable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the biggest change you would like to see in computing/tech?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What do you mean by UTC only?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I was able to read the article without logging in

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wrote a program for my boss. How legal is to to write the program again and make it FOSS?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Check your employment contract. If that includes an NDA or a confidentiality agreement, the company may own your design as well as any code produced.

  Given that they didn’t put your program into production, it’s unlikely they would pursue you legally for releasing a new version on your own.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨JUPITER Project Propels Europe Toward Exascale Supercomputing Leadership with 500 Million Euro Investment — Ultra Unlimited⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s unclear what any of the images have to do with the article.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What non-IDE tekst editor do you use?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been a vim user for over a decade and I doubt I’ve spent eight hours configuring it in all that time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Browse and Discover Manpages⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  man -k xyz will search for any man page with xyz in it. You can also do man stdio to see what’s in the stdio library.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OP finds vulnerability where a forum sends you your password in plaintext over email and everyone misses the forest for the trees⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Many years ago, I had forgotten my password to the Sprint websiteb so I could log in and pay my cellular bill. I had to call customer support to resolve this. After verifying my activity, the support agent read me my existing password one letter at a time. While this was alarming, I was amused she had to spell out a somewhat obscene phrase for me. This was maybe 20 years ago and I no longer use Sprint.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what's the highest increase in salary you've had or seen?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Biggest raise was about 12%, when I got bumped up to senior a few years back. Currently searching for a new gig so I’m hoping for a nice bump

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unity Silently Deletes GitHub Repo that Tracks Terms of Service Changes and Updated Its License⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Does the existing engine phone home or is that something they’re adding?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When a Programmer Holds the Code Hostage: The costs of a policy of appeasement⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  What don’t you like about medium?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Worst Programmer I Know⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s no way this is real. Completely insane.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you balance rapid iteration and merging/upgrading?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Are there any good strategies for avoiding painful upgrades?

  If you’re not already doing so, hold design reviews with your users. Breaking API changes should be communicated early and in a way that makes it clear how the users benefit from the change. If the users don’t benefit, you should reconsider why you’re making changes in the first place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you shell expand your variables and why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  While this looks like a handy tool, it does make me think shell scripting itself needs a cleaner approach than what we have currently.
