Definitely seems to be getting worse, outside of AWS itself, more websites seem to be having sporadic or serious issues. Concerning considering how long the outage has been going.

That would definitely make the most sense. It’s also hydro in Quebec (hydro-Québec).
I always assumed we just called it hydro in BC because so much of the power comes from hydroelectric, but then I moved and it seems we call it hydro everywhere no master source..?
That's very fair - at least with third party software, it can be nigh impossible to track down a problem. With third party libraries, I've too-often found myself reading the code to figure something out, although that's…
Fixing everything is impractical, but I'd say a safer rule of thumb would be to at least understand small strangenesses/errors. In the case of things that are hard to fix - e.g. design/architectural decisions that lead…
Your book is legendary and I have recommended it to a good number of students/programmers-in-learning. Haven't ever made it through (no matter how good the textbook, I'm still not a textbook person...) but immense…
You're correct, there are a bunch of different ticket options. Not sure about how it's actually implemented, though. Slightly tangential, but when I was in Montreal, I was blown away that you just purchase a ticket from…
This is a super interesting anecdote, considering the name definitely confused me at the time - trying to learn web development with no context I did indeed think it was some kind of Mozilla-centric resource. All those…
Yep, they've had that feature for quite a while, too. I've always had the impression that - although obviously there is pressure within the company to monetize - they seem to have a lot of developer focus on 'just doing…
My memory is really bad for this kind of thing, sorry. I think some of Keigo Higashino's recent translated works have this kind of physicality in their mysteries, but I'd have to reread them to remember ahahaha. (But on…
> I'm thinking: construct a visual scene, object A is on top of object B, etc., and then ask a question that would be obvious to someone actually seeing the scene, but very difficult to reason out otherwise. Obviously…
> Aphantasia is also often linked with SDAM (Severely Deficient Autobiographic Memory). Thanks for mentioning this... did an extremely quick Google and I suddenly understand everything about my memory.
> I wouldn’t be surprised if 99% of the discourse here is just miscommunication on what “picturing something in your head” means and 99% of people who think they are different are not. Yeah, this is exactly the issue,…
I _kind of_ understand in the sense that - it can feel bad/like wasted time to do code review when you don't leave a single comment. But of course, it's very very important to ignore that feeling and do the sensible…
Same issue, I now lie on my couch and rest it on semi-folded legs to alleviate the weight. Works a lot better, but not as great for action games in my opinion.
I wrote short stories on Reddit for around two years, mostly for fun and practice. Nothing that needs to be saved, but it's nice to have this kind of thing around if you want to look back in the future!
Just in case - My G600 started double clicking ~2yr ago. I hate replacing things, so I tried a bunch of guides to fix it - opened it, cleaned the switches, soaked them in alcohol, etc. It would stop double clicking for…
I really love this talk in particular: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4P_kbF0EbZM (On charconv) But any of the ones I've seen from Stephan have been fantastic, I think, although I'm not actually sure if I've seen more.…

It's super funny reading this comment section having just recently started looking into custom mechs. My reaction on looking at the website was - whoa, a nice 70% keyboard, so nice to see a custom build that actually…
> Yes, the application hasn’t quit. You’ve only closed its last window. To further expand on this, this is also application-defined behaviour. The application can choose whether it wants to stay open or close. This is…
That's unfortunate. I'm lucky enough to have studied my target language on & off for over a decade and one of my main issues at this point is vocabulary. But you're not wrong - it's not useful for everyone.
The flashcards feature of this makes it seem super useful for language learning. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to support non-English languages? At least on iOS, the OS has built-in dictionary support for a huge…
Maybe slightly off topic, but - looking at this mouse, the shape it has overall is exactly what I'm looking for ergonomically (not vertical, but slightly more slanted). Are there mice like this that have 3+ side buttons…
