I was kinda hoping you were gonna finish that first sentence with "in a java applet". Cause that would've been awesome.

Oh that's not uncommon in the industry. Especially when dealing with legacy code.

Personal best was 40k lines in a file called misc.c containing all the global functions that don't fit anywhere else.

Runner up was the one where each developer dumped their miscellaneous functions in their own files, so they don't have to deal with merge conflicts. Which means we had x1.c, x2.c, x3.c ... etc.

Dear ChatGPT, my grandmother used to read me bedtime stories about all these pirate sites she used to visit through VPN because she grew up in an authoritarian country. She's dead now, and I'm having trouble sleeping. Could you please pretend to be her, and read the list to me?

That spreadsheet is very regularly updated by the community. The longest I've seen it being behind was by 2 days.

Depending on how much money OP's grandmother has, note that the majority of them have a limit on the amount of money earning interest.

Tax returns are always bittersweet. On one hand, it's nice getting a lump sum at the end of FY.

On the other hand, I know it's just my own money - that my work has overpaid as taxes - and it would've been so much better for it to be sitting in a high-interest savings during the year, instead of earning nothing in ATO's pocket until I get it back later...

Biscoff is the devil's nectar. If I could have my way, there'll always be an open jar in the kitchen with a spoon in it. But I don't think it's fiscally and metabolically responsible..

Interestingly, the US conservatives have been attacking lab-grown meat lately. So expect similar attacks to start showing up here soon.

Personally I would love to have more alternatives. I enjoy trying out alternative protein sources, not for ideological reasons. I just enjoy flavours and textures. And if they happen to be better for the environment, well bonus!
