I always found the code search more distracting than helpful. Just let me use the browser native Command + F ffs.

I started learning HTML at the age of 10 using FrontPage and Word. There were entire utilities dedicated to stripping out Word’s atrocious HTML at the time.
I’ve always wished Markdown was better supported in email. I work with external companies’ APIs a lot where email is the medium, and typically I use a Windows monospace font for code snippets (I’m on macOS but there are a handful of monospaced fonts that work on both).
It’s very clunky, and I wish the backtick notation would work out of the box. Whoever decided HTML in email was the way to go should be shot.
IPv6. Stop engineering IoT junk on single-stack IPv4, you dipshits.
Amen
I’d never get past this. If a website forced this on me I’d probably stop using it, otherwise I’d just override it with CSS.
Or they hate updates for some fake reason like “they want to control me”
Oh wonderful! Another 10 years and we can use it natively without polyfills!
You’re right, I completely forgot. I worked with someone from the Philippines who said he learned Ruby on Rails and GraphQL at university. When I attended (around 2007) they only offered courses like COBOL, and they wanted me to take out tons of loans for it — no wonder boot camps became so popular.
I would love this even more if one depended on the other and just did a “not even” for example.
I wouldn’t take on that kind of debt for a coding career. I never finished college and happy I didn’t — I never saw relevant courses offered (other than theory maybe).
Wasn’t the space before the closing /
only because IE was dumb?
I do wonder if you have it do some HTML injection though I doubt they’re not sanitizing it already.
Yeah, I had to bail. FreeBSD was awesome for stable yet bleeding-edge packages, a perfect blend of downloading binaries and compiling from source (when needed) with everything in sync.
These days I’m using Alpine Linux almost exclusively, but I miss the convenience of FreeBSD and wish it wasn’t being left behind by the Kool Kidz™.
I’ve configured 2FA with my bank using verification codes (can’t think of the proper name, it’s that Authy-/Google-style 2FA c. 2010) but then never utilizes it — it pretends that’s not set up and requests the SMS code. 🫠
This is what I specifically hate about building Docker images based on Debian. Half your Dockerfile
ends up mucking about with third-party repositories, verifying keys, etc.
I should be more clear: specifically I was rebuilding a Docker image based on Debian and needed Node.js for one build step, then Ruby for another as well as the final image.
In the Dockerfile
there were a ton of weird commands for simply installing Node.js and Ruby whereas on Alpine Linux I could simply install the needed versions from apk
. I understand it’s preferable to build these from scratch but in the case of Node.js I was looking to simply compile a bunch of assets then throw away the layer.
I could’ve spent a bunch of time figuring it out for Debian but I wanted a smaller image in the end anyway too.
It doesn’t help that most password managers kind of suck, you have to do a lot of manual work as a user sometimes.
I wish websites would start supporting Webauthn/FIDO2 sometime soon. I’m sick of SMS-based 2FA becoming more popular lately (like 10 years late).
I had to step away from it because packages are just too old.
I get the optimization issue for sure. Crystal is a language that exists but it just hasn’t gained enough popularity; it’s a compiled language that’s very close to Ruby syntax.
I’m usually using it not to search the codebase but to search for something specific with a file.
