I love the idea of taking well understood analog concepts and applying them to the digital remote workplace, but man, forced sync calls coming in on a whim without my control to ignore them sounds like my absolute worst nightmare.

Nobody deserves this, but lordy I have lost days of dev time to Circle in the last several years.

This is a lot of upfront work, and signing up for continuous maintenance, computing costs, dealing with vendor-specific oddities, and a host of other concerns. Whatever is gained from this (being able to sign AWS phobic clients) must be substantial.

Absolutely. I mean, could you imagine F1 drivers having to negotiate the track with the 911s, Astons & Corvettes? They'd throw a damn hissy fit.

Not only does it make the race exciting from logistics/entertainment perspective, but at any given time there are multiple first place battles occurring. It's hugely entertaining.

For me, endurance racing (WEC) is quite a bit more fascinating and impressive than F1. Racing a car on the cutting edge of race technology for 2 hours is one thing, but 24 hours is a whole different ballgame.

The Farallons are a pretty intense little outcropping just off the coast. Doesn't make it any more appealing that it's a mecca for Great Whites.

It's not that anyone has forgotten, it's that a lot of people never learned how to in the first place. Every programmer community is riddled with these problems but the NPM world seems to be the worst. The ruby gem "american_date" annoys me to no end. It's just a highly-specific implementation of Time#strptime. Gah

Standard lightbox image technique, pretty nice once you get used to it. Click image to expand, click almost anywhere to collapse.

Quick, somebody called to question the effectiveness of your statements when you lace them with arrogant statements! Attack them!

The colors are very hard to differentiate with the larger datasets, such as the 2 testing frameworks charts.

The part where you enter something to search for and it takes over 10 seconds for a result.

> I know I sometimes forget about it, and I’ve looked at enough code from other developers to know that I’m not the only one.

I think by and large, most people don't use it not out of forgetfulness, but out of disdain for willy nilly calling methods on objects without knowing what might happen.

Unless you already have feet (plantar fasciitis is super common) problems, in which case it will make things much worse.

That page might be the hardest webpage to load.
