My personal answer to this is logging very little during normal operation and then logging a lot during errors. Depending on the maturity of the system “a lot” might mean the entire state so I can debug afterwords.

Excellent dedication to the pun!

Mostly noun recall. I can mentally picture and describe thing or person X, but when I'm having the problem it could possibly take me 30 minutes to figure out the name of X without looking it up.

I prefer the density of the original, but your addition of "Today", "Yesterday", "Wednesday"... buttons is excellent. That is much more useful than the infinite scroll on the vanilla homepage.

I've started enjoying older printed books again. There's solace knowing that it was at least made by a person.

Taking methylcobalamin B12 supplements essentially fixed my memory problems. Early on I tried out the cyanocobalamin type and got absolutely nothing from it.

If I stop taking the supplements for a few weeks, the memory problems come back. If I start again, a week later my memory is excellent. It’s well worth the minor effort.

I believe the opposite. The issue is that destroying requires much less effort than creating.

I was talking about clients and servers in the classic setup, not for cloud gaming. My parent was talking about game ping and I was pointing out that cloud services are even more sensitive since you’re not interacting with the game client locally.

The latency between peripheral input and visual feedback is much more important than the latency between a game client and server. The servers have all sorts of mitigation strategies to compensate. For inputs, it’s all on the human. Which feels bad.

Keyboards are an endless money pit for me. Every year or so I’ll randomly get dissatisfied with my setup and seek to somehow upgrade it. At some point I’ll have to admit that it’s because I just like playing with new hardware… but maybe not today :)

I’d be 100% on-board if they changed this from a list of URL’s they define to a list I define. Web extensions sound great until you realize how much power you’re handing to arbitrary code once you allow it reading and writing to the DOM. They can forward anything to anywhere, sandboxing goes out the window

This is the same logic in avoiding link-only answers on Stack Overflow. They’re both good rules.

For apples-to-apples, you’d look at Denver. We’re talking about the state’s 4th largest city which is 65 miles away from the capital and otherwise in the middle of nowhere. It’s extremely expensive for what it is

Sounds like they’re the ones who implemented the bad code in the first place, as a honeypot. That just extortion with extra steps.
