- Comment on Fresh 5 days ago:
You’ll likely die before you: a) remember where you put this thing, b) manage to successfully thread it far enough so you’re not inhaling toilet water, c) survive the sewer gases. If the window is big enough get through, better to jump.
- Comment on I'm a businessman, I do business 1 week ago:
You have to be in it for the long run.
- Comment on Stack overflow is almost dead 2 weeks ago:
Beginners are the least likely to ask thoughtful questions. We include slides in lectures about how to ask a question, but when there’s an assignment deadline and you’re inexperienced, it’s more likely you’re going to just blurt out “help me!” rather than provide a detailed explanation that doesn’t require repeated prompting. It takes time to learn how to work through an issue yourself before asking. Students are often facing time pressure and that can drive bad behavior. Correcting them is important, just don’t do it in a way that crushes their spirit.
- Comment on Stack overflow is almost dead 2 weeks ago:
Ever ask a question on SO? I tell my students to search there but never, ever ask a question. The unmitigated hostility is not what new developers need or deserve. ChatGPT won’t humiliate you for asking a question that someone else has already asked.

- Comment on Why hasn't congress passed a law saying that you can only deport people *back to their own country*? 5 weeks ago:
Congress hasn’t passed much of anything lately. They just let Trump do his executive orders. But even if they felt like doing anything at all, the GOP has control and can count on a few Dems to follow along.

- Comment on Straight people, do you know what the Grindr notification sound is? 1 month ago:
Does anyone have the sound on these days? My volume is set to 0 most of the time, I have no idea what any of the sounds are now.
- Comment on We'll pass Trump tariffs back as higher prices for Americans: German firm 1 month ago:
That’s exactly how tariffs work. It’s always been how tariffs work. No company is going to lower profits if they don’t have to.
- Comment on Meta ends its fact-checking program in the US later today, replaces it with Community Notes 1 month ago:
There’s no way this can cause the Earth to be catapulted into the Sun.
- Comment on Why Do Sites Keep Shoving Features We Don’t Want Down Our Throats? 1 month ago:
My theory is the people making the decisions don’t actually use the products they make and have no idea what it’s like to use them. They hear that another site is using AI, for instance, and decide their own site needs to use AI. But they don’t understand what AI does or why they should/shouldn’t use it, only that they have to have it. Boom, enshittification.
- Comment on The pannotype mystery: cracking the code of a forgotten photographic process. 2 months ago:
The looks like an interesting process. It would cool to see someone create new ones but it won’t be simple given the requirements.

At first, I was concerned about that much energy in such a small package.
Now I’m afraid of that giant hand.
- Comment on Kevin Rose, Alexis Ohanian acquire Digg 2 months ago:
There’s no reason to expect this to succeed, but I put my name on the list to be notified when it launches. We’ll see, I guess.
- Comment on Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2-based extensions in Edge 2 months ago:
Test-driving them both now.
- Comment on Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2-based extensions in Edge 2 months ago:
I had a feeling this would happen. I have to use Google services for a lot of things at work and Edge works fine with them. Firefox usually does okay, but not always. And now Firefox is requiring you to hand over your data to them.
Can any Chromium-based browser refuse to turn on V3 or is it too baked-in without forking the entire project?
- Comment on fish roast 3 months ago:
It’s not like the bony-eared assfish is going to clap back, not with the smallest brain-to-body weight ratio of all known vertebrates.
- Comment on Is anyone else getting a bit of schadenfreude from the news each day? 3 months ago:
I think it’s difficult to avoid feeling that way. Part of me feels bad about it because I know the other side would be laughing their asses off if we were the ones feeling betrayed. But now is not the time to gloat, there’s too much we have to do to fight this as best we can.
