@achipa has good for developers when considering what audience they are designing their apps for #accessibility #language #ejs19

Note to self - find an (air) travel-friendly set of torx screwdrivers. It's amazing how hard it can get to find them locally, and when you need them - you need them bad.

@tkoola @kypeli After the fiasco of "free" standing for both liberty and lack of monetary compensation, I can't say the problem is entirely new :)

Unfortunately Strava has still not re-enabled tapiriik’s API access, so all Strava connections remain offline until Strava restores tapiriik’s access.

@Bron4444 Office quite alive and kind of straddling both consumer/enterprise worlds. Also, let's pretend Windows 10 is consumer SW Microsoft hasn't given up on :)

RIP MS Band. I actually liked the form factor and the willingness to push the envelope in an imagination-stripped 'if it's on your arm, it must be a watch' world #BetterHorses I repaired the HW many times, but in the end, it's always the SW that kills you.

A requirement for regex support of mixed Right-To-Left / Left-To-Right strings is nothing short of a request to re-evaluate the continuousness of the Space-time continuum https://t.co/opPDN5mZXH

@tompaana I guess the point is that nowadays (all?) languages evolve (C# included) instead of a fast evolutionary phase followed by prolonged fossilisation when it gets widespread. The annoying part is when people choose tech A today because they didn't like B in the 90s.

[Attila Csipa @achipa]

Most of the criticism of C++, JS (even Windows) seems not wrong, but simply outdated. We're pitting our 2018 desires against our 1990s hurts.

@tompaana I think C# was largely seen as the MSFT answer to early Java, the critique mostly being on the level of .NET tied to x86 and Windows (which is also #ObsoleteCriticism today as C# has OSS compilers and is supported even on Android/iOS).

Got to love how most of the companies scrambling to get last minute #GDPRCompliance are presenting this as *their* initiative.

21st century security: when you're asked to send in your SSN, DOB and address in plain email because the password reset page doesn't work. Good thing it's nothing serious, only your pension plan.
