Hoarding is a behavior that’s difficult to miss — it often involves filling one’s home and other spaces with a huge number of items that end up having a major impact on the hoarder’s life. Because you never know when you might need that GIF again

For years, the open secret at Valve (makers of game series like Half-Life and Portal) has been the company's interest in a new threshold of game experiences. "Your standard current addict's droud will pass only a trickle of house current into the brain."

Google on Monday said new test results show promising signs that the technology it's hoping will replace cookie-based ad targeting is working. Biscuits?
It sounds like we may soon be FLoCed

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I have won... a cookie?

This is the strongest indicator, yet, that cookie-managers are working.
Online Privacy and Online Piracy (by officially nefarious entities). The parallels are so obvious. It's a battle between virus'/malware and anti-virus/anti-malware and general O/S attacks. In the case of cookies - they're waning in effectiveness as browsers (like FireFox) have built-in management. Evolving, there was even machine fingerprinting so they identify you device and follow it and now finger-printing blockers, etc etc etc etc etc etc etc.
I use ad-blockers (with a few exceptions, like CP) - so sites fight back with disallowing use without the ads. Round and round it goes - reminiscent, perhaps, of the swirling observed in a porcelain convenience?

Indeed. It makes me want to drive the porcelain bus.

To drive a bus against the porcelain is funnier

Driving the porcelain bus (originally Australian, I believe) means wrapping your arms around the toilet while puking

I didn't know that...

We’re happy to share our support for Open Web Docs, a new collective launching today which is dedicated to sustainably supporting high-quality, browser-agnostic, community-driven web developer documentation. Translation: we don't want to update the docs ourselves

We’ve been working to improve the Developer Community for providing feedback about Visual Studio. Don't worry - I'm sure it ends up in the same round bin as before

I had almost forgotten about those. They didn't give Apple too much of success, did they?
(Actually, I never sat down on one.)

For hungry freelancers, it can be hard to turn work away. But in the long run, saying no to a project that’s a bad fit will make you a better freelancer. This article will help freelancers and consultants think critically about when to decline an opportunity or request and how to do so assertively but kindly. We want you to write a Twitter clone. Our budget is $1000.

I like working with people who either know what they want or recognize that they need help fleshing out what they want and are willing to entrust me to guide them through the requirements process.
I have a current client like that. I've had to walk him back from the edge of a cliff a couple times in terms of scope creep and things like that, but he listens. It helps that he spent decades as an electrical engineer.

In this new series of blog posts I want to dive into what both TDD and BDD are, how they’re different (and you may say they aren’t), and some thoughts about making their usage be more successful. "Write tests until fear is transformed into boredom"

Quote: TDD does not — or at least should not — mean that you have to specify all possible tests first, then write all the code.
Except that's exactly what it is. What the author advocates is normal development. Like is done with so many methodologies and technologies, he's reconning the original and declaring success.

Windows Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) servers are now being abused by DDoS-for-hire services to amplify Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. I hope those RD servers are properly licensed, or Microsoft is going to come after them
