My first thought was, “I’ll never be able to unsee that.” And for a Halloween decoration, I’d call that an A+.

Unix epoch time. It has a cool name and I get to pretend its a Star Date.
I love the idea that they’re at two adjacent tables, each one staring at the other wondering why they hate them.
In the rare occasions that my wife needs to use my phone, I need to type my (12 digit) pincode out on a number pad and read it back to her to be sure I get it right. I can type it flawlessly a dozen times a day but if I try to recite it, I screw up the order.
If the docs I have to write are long enough I will include a small diatribe about a ancient pop-culture hill I’m still willing to die on, just to see if anyone notices.
That looks like the media endpoint in action, all right.
I don’t think Lemmy supports media fields in comments (though I’ve only skimmed the API, I could be wrong) just on posts. I usually use Postimages for hosting images for comments.
Be sure to use the image upload field too
The earliest I can think of (from personal experience) is 4GL languages; the early low-code platforms that first started to get traction in the early 80s. They wouldn’t have replaced programmers but some thought/hoped they would usher in an age of “low skill” programmers that companies could get away with paying minimum wage to.
The thing that made me laugh when I saw the article that OP mentions is that it was coming from AWS.
In my testing AWS’s Titan AI is the least useful for figuring out how to do things in AWS. It’s so terrible that Amazon just announced they’re using Claude for Alexa’s upcoming “AI” features.
All those letMeGoogleThat links from the 00s have turned into Rick Rolls (figuratively speaking).
Checks out. Swarm of bees is in the monster manual
When you stop looking for bugs you can honestly say you haven’t found any. That’s how how the pandemic ended.
I can’t decide who’s more likely to buy this (if it were new): current me out of nostalgia for a pretty good OS, or 1995 me went to Incredible Universe on release day to buy Windows 95.
Time for all the maintainers of datetime libraries to unionize and give a collective nope.
Yeah, that’s the kind of thing I did only more often. Plus it was back when the conventional wisdom was that 50% of source code should be comments. So there was a LOT.
Just say your profanities aloud and don’t let them make it to version control.
In the first major software system I designed and helped build I was a little too open in my comments. For years after that software had entered sunset I’d still get Slack pings along the lines of: “This looks like a Maximum Derek comment: …” They were all diatribes about whatever was giving me grief when I was writing the code and they would all look perfectly at home in the script for 48 Hours (minus the racial or sexuality slurs).
In my defense we were working with PHP 5.3 at the time.
Worth it if I never have to negotiate another colo contract or have to spec new servers 9 months in advance ever again.
That’s the igniter for the afterburner, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
It worse when you and your team spend months on something and then management pivots, uses it in ways it was never intended, and then complains when there has to be another project to “fix” it.
