> Missteps and corrections are a sign of conscientiousness, not "making it up".

Or they just skipped the testing and focus groups that should have highlighted that before release.

I have a small website with a contact form that gets a lot of spam. I found a very effective way of filtering spam, but it only works because it's not mainstream, so I can't ever share it :(

I upgraded a year ago and I bought a bunch of extra RAM because it was "so cheap", why not. Man did I get lucky, I got it right before the price hikes started.

Accessibility plays a reason other than just taste.

I was trying to figure out slow network speeds one day and I finally swapped an ethernet cable and got full speed.

It turns out some ethernet cables are missing wires - and capped at 100Mbps! Wait what? I didn't even know that was a thing. I don't know where I got the wire, but into the trash it goes.

I used to use a 3rd party clipboard (until blocked by work) that used Cmd-Shift-V to bring up the clipboard. So much nicer than Apple's solution.

> I find this hard to believe, since Google Play store requires much less info, and doesn't disclose it to consumers (AFAIK).

This changed recently.

You're buying a digital good. You can already get refunds. An email address is fine for contact.

You definitely don't need someone's physical home address, nor an actual phone number.

APIs, yes - humans, no.

I think the silver lining here is that decentralizing power from America is a good thing, for the world, long term.

I work with someone who tends to rejects PR suggestions. I also work with someone else who accepts suggestions.

I think that the for the person who accepts suggestions, it's made me wonder if they accept them in part to share ownership with me. I feel like we both maintain and understand the code, and are on the same page.

For the person who rejects PR suggestions, it makes me less inclined to participate in those PRs. Why spend the time doing a thorough review if it's going to get rejected anyways.

I think this is true. When needs aren't met, they are more likely to follow a cult leader.

Depends on the wood. Perfectly dry, seasoned hardwood is going to be easy. Wood with knots, soft wood etc. is going to take a while to figure out.
