  • Fuck, yesss!

  • God rested on the seventh day, but Sabbath is on Saturday. Tadaa, week starts on Sunday.

  • Yes, another thing in the neverending list of shit you have to learn at some point if you’re any kind of programmer.

    Some people start their week on the wrong day.

  • If you think looking at Thursday seems like a random choice: It’s basically a majority vote among the days of the week. If Thursday is in the new year, then 4 days (Thu–Sun) are in the new year. If Thursday is in the old year, then 4 days are in the old year (Mon–Thu).

  • Ribbed for your pleasure.

  • My point was: You don’t need to wait for it to buffer or even load. Once the page is there, the video is playable.

  • Hallelujah!

  • I’m fine with waiting 10 seconds at the beginning of a video. I wonder how much YouTube would save (by reducing bandwidth, smaller caches, choosing slower storage) if they didn’t have the goal to start the video virtually immediately.

  • This shouldn’t happen unless you also switched to a niche browser.

  • It’s probably way cheaper to add a speaker than an actual, physical bell. But I agree. My microwave dings and I’m fine with that.

  • All of the things you’d be polluting the sun with are already there.

  • The relevant passage for anyone interested in more than just the headline:

    By contrast, Bennett and Brassard's theory - known as BB84 - shows that any attempt to hack or copy their quantum encryption key changes the very behaviour of its elements, making replication impossible.

  • Just befriend a paramedic or a firefighter or some other of the sort that works next to a train line. You’ll hear that joke quite often and get used to it.

  • Was she also there after the time?

  • Can you tell me how any user ever finds out that you need to double click an icon on their desktop?

    I completely agree with you on this. I hate that Windows doesn’t disclose what areas can be clicked anymore. It used to, back when computers where new. Nowadays if you wanted to show a new person how to use a computer, you’d have to very explicitly explain things that would’ve been obvious from the looks just 10 years ago. (Ok, maybe 15.)

    What is a new Apple user supposed to do? Try all of the 30-ish gestures one can make on every side and every corner of every app? That’s just stupid.

  • VSCode has shat out a shitty update too, reportedly freezing the editor several seconds at a time.

  • Even if it did, how would any user ever find out about this obscure feature?
