@kettanaito It's a valid concern but at the same time, I know a few founders who built million dollar businesses on Twitter's API years ago. There's just as much opportunity as there is risk.

Twitter API is a nice example of why I'm skeptical about building a business around third-party APIs. One day you are successful, the other they charge you thousands of dollars to interact with the API. Nonsense.

@tobyadams @armintalic Stop delivering anything for you in the future until you pay, or take you to court.

@armintalic DHL deliver the thing in Norway and THEN ask for the fees. Planning on ignoring them completely. What are they going to do?!
English
Import fees are a complete scam.
Ordered something that happens to be hand made in Germany… now I need to pay a nonsense fee to Parcel Force before they’ll even attempt delivery.
One of the many ‘benefits’ of Brexit.

@TheNCSmaster They were probably just tired of people asking if they're working on a new Dishonored.

@justinfagnani Running tests in jsdom is a lot faster though, so you can run tests as part of your dev process to check you haven't broken things. That's a good addition to your test process.
You need to test in browsers *as well* not instead.
English
Testing in jsdom is worse than useless: it's actively bad.
It's an environment that none of your users use, and often requires the code under test to change just to work in it - a complete waste of time and increase in complexity.
It's so easy to test in real browsers, do that!

The Queen proved that Bond and Paddington exist in the same cinematic universe, and therefore set up the greatest potential crossover film of all time.

@Ritika_kaurr It looks like you stopped learning things 10 years ago, which is pretty on brand for the average programmer.

I only really want a house like this so I could play that augmented reality Mario Kart game properly.

I spent an hour queuing in Tesco, so I've set up some scheduled emails for December next year to remind myself to buy all the Christmas stuff earlier. Leverage tech to your advantage.

@PeorgeyGeorgey @ryanflorence Yeah, I know. :) The proof will be in testing it. But they *claim* it's a thing, and they've released a Java upgrade tool that does seem to work.

LAMP is the only stack I know that has pulled this off, assuming your host didn’t break something.
None of my abandoned rails, code igniter, nanoc, or gatsby apps run (or build) anymore
Frameworks aren’t designed for abandoned apps, but I often wonder how LAMP pulled it off

I wish there's a framework where I can leave it for 10 years and it still runs

There's no explanation in the Harrera "Bad Boy" advert of how bad they are.
My theory is that they wee on the toilet seat and don't clean it up.

@ryanflorence I'd put money on someone deploying a .NET app today being able to deploy it in 2050 without any major issues. MSFT do backward compatibility really well.
English
@ryanflorence There are .NET framework apps from 20 years ago still in production _everywhere_. AWS are making a tool to automatically upgrade them to Core 8 because companies are still trying to run them.

Feud is one of my favourite budget #zxspectrum games. Released in '87 by Bulldog, it was a fun wizardry based arcade adventure. Gather herbs and ingredients to create your spells. Can you put an end to this magical feud? For £1.99 it was great value. Any fans? #retrogames
