Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Thank you for writing down something that’s been on my mind. Customer service dep’ts are impenetrable at this point. I used to have no problem picking up the phone and doing battle with [bit company here] when I needed to, but it’s so awful at this point, they’ve conditioned us out of even trying.

Not BING CROSBY 😂😂😂😂

Scapegoat = locked in. I shudder to think what happens next.

Pretty rich coming from the people who effectively ended data collection on Covid deaths

That’s like asking if it’s chocolate or cheese

This may be the most topical Ween reference of all time

The occupational hazards of being a software developer with a common name… 😂 (I can relate)

Static is nice! Not sure if maybe a Parquet file hosted in S3 could work? Read in what you need client-side with DuckDB?

How much traffic are you expecting? You might be able to get away with the free tier of the Google Maps, Mapbox or Maptiler geocoding APIs.

Hope they aren’t on a prepaid mobile plan 😬

They’re in denial about 2025

Tech folks: a friendly reminder to be nice to people for no reason. It may feel irrational or inefficient to help someone who conceivably could have helped themselves, but don't forget that you sharing your knowledge is a way of making the world a better place!

Nowadays it seems like anything I post gets instantly downvoted and peppered with RTFM-esque comments. This has become so consistent I rarely even go to StackOverflow anymore.

15 years ago StackOverflow was a great community — and a boon to people like myself learning to code. I couldn't tell you how many times I almost gave up on some mysterious glitch, and then a kind stranger came along and helped me out
