Because Voyager 1 is so far from Earth, it takes almost 23 hours for a command to reach it at the speed of light, and the same for a response to reach us back, for a total of close to 50 hours.

Which means that interactions with Voyager 1, currently around 15 billion miles away, are still faster than many Microsoft Windows updates.

When did I get from "too young to be taken seriously as a programmer" to "I have a kid your age"?!

2 hours now trying to set up the Samsung fridge, creating accounts left and right, registering the product etc. and it turns out that you can't adjust any of the settings on it unless you use their app, and the fridge has to connect to Wi-Fi, and it isn't seeing my network, and I'm supposed to move my router closer to the fridge, and then dive into the network settings and change Mac addresses and forward ports and what the fuck knows else

Like I said, you should never buy a "smart" anything

So far my experience in Berlin vs in Munich is that people are much more likely here in Berlin to continue speaking in German with me, even after hearing me speak English (I mean this as a positive).

I try to speak German as much as possible, but in Munich people switched to English very quickly. In Berlin so far only one person has asked if I wanted to speak English.

In both cities the vast majority of people have been very polite and welcoming either way.

"Components are tightly coupled: it’s hard to use a Laravel component outside Laravel because it requires many other packages and wiring."
from https://www.reddit.com/r/PHP/comments/131t2k1/laravel_considered_harmful/

It's why I stopped writing and showing Laravel code snippets.

I didn't expect it to be delivered today. It was planned for next week, but here I am: New owner of a Lenovo workstation.

I guess I'll spend some time to make me feel "at home" this weekend.

Business between companies: "This isn't part of our contract, but we can make you an offer to extend it for more money."

Offer gets accepted or rejected, but work proceeds.

Between company and employees: "This exceeds the content of our contract, but I did something like that in the past. We can talk about it + a new salary."

"You either do it for free or we'll: give you disadvantages in your career / bad reputation / ask someone else to do it (and pay them)"

(Not literally said like this)

I wrote to the Shopware support about a dev problem and fixed it myself after getting no response after 2 days. I kept the support ticket open just out of curiosity when I'll get at least a response. Tomorrow will be one week.

Having something like:

Foo foo = new Foo
{
SetName("John Doe"), // method return void
SetAge(30), // method return void
SetCity("Everywhere") // method return void
};

in PHP instead a fluent interface:

// methods return foo instance with "this"
Foo foo = new Foo;
foo.SetName("John Doe")
.SetAge(30)
.SetCity("Everywhere");

Yes or no?

One of the biggest mistakes I do is writing tests and documentation. The format and integrity varies between budgets, but they are there.

If this wasn't about what recently happened to the Titan submarine, you wouldn't read about it. Ignoring security issues appear in many cases in many companies, but accidents don't happen most of the time.

"OceanGate's former finance director said she quit when Stockton Rush asked her to be the Titanic submersible's chief pilot after firing the original one for raising safety issues"

When you say what a word "means", what do you mean by "mean?" It's actually not a trivial question.

Like the "fast - good - cheap" ever worked as an argument by an employee. If you can't do all three you're not a real developer and neither a 10x engineer. (Back to the old memes)

It's from the monorail episode of the Simpsons from 1993 and it didn't age one year.
