If you want to mug a software engineer, ask them if a static code analysis tool should consider `if time.time() > 0:` to be considered the same as `if True:`

Then, while they're writing a 40,000 word blog post on the topic, hit them on the head and take their wallet.

There’s a certain kind of person who excels at staying just on this side of any bright lines in a community code of conduct, but nevertheless manages to be so unpleasant as to drive other people away. I don’t have any good ideas about how to deal with those people, especially if they get into a position of power.

The Impact of Toxic Influencers on Communities

There’s a common character that can be often spotted in many online communities. It’s the “toxic influencer” (sometimes referred as “intellectual bully”). A toxic influencer is a person…

Oh, that's great. Had to put BSI back in my roter, because the command to invoke it has broken in the latest iOS update. Not amused.

Re last: I thought I was done with shitty machine-learning #AltText but nope.

I'm pretty sure this is in relation to #Airpods actually, not dental floss but there we go.

That sounds like Threads. They do the same nonsense as the other Meta platforms.

Seems like 95% of error messages fall into 2 categories. The first are so vague as to be useless. "Sorry, something went wrong." If it isn't that, it's something only serious techies can understand, such as the one I just got. “{"status":415,"title":"Unsupported Media Type","detail":"Content type 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8' not supported","errors":[]}.” No link to a support site, or back to the homepage, or anything.

I wonder if they've ever wondered why nobody ever signs up. Their form goes to a server that absolutely isn't expecting form submitions. Most people will have no idea what just happened. (2/2)

Today, JAWS version 2025 has been released.
All our products are compatible with JAWS 2025, even J-Say, the update for which has just been released.
So targets have been met and in some cases exceeded.

Within the next few days, we will be contacting people who have a J-Say SMA and providing them with their upgrades.
However, the vast majority of people who have J-Say have acquired it through a Distributor. So in most cases, it is the Distributor who would let you know that the upgrade is available.

If you think you do have a current SMA, your best course of action is to send to us your JAWS serial number so it can be checked. We may then be able to provide it to you faster.

Quickly hitting peak frustration with Thunderbird's accessibility issues. Are there any other good accessible local or web-based email clients?

Don't suggest Gmail, I don't trust Google not to torch my account and nuke my data because some AI somewhere had a bad day.

Also note that I've used Thunderbird for over a decade, I've done all the usual config changes but the updates continue to break accessibility in new and innovative ways. It's not me, it's them, and I can't just not read some messages anymore because Thunderbird can't do accessibility testing right.

I have been there, switched to eM Client last year. Its paid unfortunately, but the out of the box accessibility is usable, and its way snappier than Thunderbird became last year. Trial is free for 30 days I think. Granted, accessibility got a bit worse with v 10 and I tried to dig up whats the cause to tell them so that they can fix it, seems like some errorneous / misfired UIA events or something. But its still much better than TB.

Welp, yesterday Apple notified me that my backordered new Ipad mini was now due after November's 8th. So today I walked into the Apple Store in Brussels and walked out with three exact same backordered model (then cancelled the order). Why does Belgium get them more than a week before Scotland?

"Look, if we drill deep enough we'll get to the 2011 crunch code!"

Some (paired) years seem to have a bigger impact than others on persistence in the code base - interesting plot!

so the commons are shouting "shame!" about crumbling schools, unfit hospitals etc. But a penny off a pint at the pump in the pub had them all on their feet.

if I wasn't lucky enough to listen Live over lunch, the text feed on the BBC is behind by a good 5 minutes. That's a shame. This is the sort of thing our license fee should make handling of reliable and speedy.
