So apparently if you make a Playstation kids' account, you can never change the online ID until they're 18 even though regular players can do that whenever they want. Is that accurate @AskPlayStation? Seems nuts.

Is there a domain/DNS equivalent of a network telescope? I have an empty domain fronted by CloudFlare and the visitor breakdown is always fascinating.
I love iTerm on Mac, but it’s very much become Chrome for shells for me. Which of these 26 different SSH sessions was I using again?
Nothing like that feeling of putting in a bunch of time and effort to optimize a piece of code and then discover that it somehow runs waaaaaaaaaaaay more slowly than the original.

In my ongoing quest to construct or program a hardware clock to display epoch seconds, I thought lametric.com might've been the answer, but the horizontal pixel dimension is too short by 2 pixels. 😭

Hey @codingcoach_io , I just signed up as a mentor and would love to talk Python/Java/C++, backends & AWS or anything else that interests people at any level.
Thanks for providing a place I can hopefully do that and learn some new stuff myself too! 😃
Maybe just start a software company called 10x and then you can hire all the people who feel compelled to refer to themselves as a “10x engineer”

For delivery my local Mexican place lets you order those pickled/marinated carrots and they just show up in a full 32 oz. soda cup and it’s the best.

The saga continues. I ordered a replacement gear and watched some stand mixer teardown videos. This ought to be interesting. 😂
My 1st forays into baking feel a lot like engineering.
Yay: baked bread and pretzels for the 1st time ever (thanks @cute_fuzzy_evil)!
Doh: seemingly damaged the stand mixer in the process.
This might as well be me writing bad C++ that fries hard drives. Less tasty though

Fascinatingly, I was able to find a replacement gear for $8, disassemble the entire thing and get it all working again. I'm as amazed as you are.

Before I sound like I'm taking too much credit, this @homeontheedge blog post (homeontheedge.com/how-to-fix…) and this PHENOMENAL teardown video from @ereplace youtube.com/watch?v=VeCiivPt… saved the day.

(at)brentwritescodeandsometimesitevenworks is probably more honest, but doesn’t quite roll off the tongue.
