Can this be used to test the phone's browser on localhost?

The bus card ride purchase system was down today in my part of Finland. I wonder if it is related.

Yep, I feel fortunate that programmers that made it well before AI are going to be very sort after in a world where software development is going to explode and be in very high demand.

Today a co-worker told me he thought this would mean programmers would get more money because we have been making so much, so quickly, with much fewer bug reports, it's saving the company lots of money on man hours.

I'm stealing this for an office sign.

If the AI is asking you questions and requiring you to make decision after decision, then perhaps it's a spec issue. I know I've written a good spec if the AI does not ask any questions and doesn't get anything wrong after implementing the user story.

I was forwarding something to my wife and I see this other person suggested in the recipient list. The weird way the suggestion UI is designed makes it look like they are already added, but I assumed I would have to select the person in the second forward box to add them. Anyway, I won't migrate for now though because I hardly use email anymore.

So where can you buy one of these mythical notebooks for 350€$!?!?

Every time I try to search, it's either unavailable or 100s€$ over the original price?

Watch out guys, Chinese manufacturer CHUWI was found to be involved in a mislabeling scandal that involved its CoreBook X and CoreBook Plus laptops. The company advertised these laptops as having the AMD Ryzen 5 7430U CPU, but in reality, they used the older Ryzen 5 5500U CPU.

Did WhatsApp spawn from Facebook Messenger? Perhaps this is what all those devs created.

My company is currently using PHP templates, but is thinking of replacing them with react components because the new front-end devs like them. Is this a bad idea?

I've just bought my first 3D printer and I decided against Bamboo because of the drama that has happened lately, and I'm glad I did.

I don't own an EV yet, but if I ever do, I don't want a single screen. I don't even want electric windows.

I thought I remembered using this in the 90s when it was Ask Jeeves.

Nice, I guess nobody is going to bother my Ask Alko side project now.

This is going to make it more difficult for non-open source projects to get a foothold in the future because people are not going to trust a promise any more. Like, I have this thing called a smart phone. Is it open source? No? Oh well.

Well, not sure if it's classed as a cake, but my favourite desert there was the egg custard tart.

I used to love my Sayers sausage roll as a kid. I haven't lived in Liverpool for 25 years now, but sad to hear Sayers is no more.

Obligatory dad joke.

How do you make a sausage roll?

Push it down a hill.

New comment by leke in "What killed the Florida orange?"

I find these stories fascinating. Since it mentioned the orange originally came from China, I wonder if there are varieties that are resistant while still tasting good.
