One is a countable noun (like ‘letters’) while the other is an uncountable mass noun (like ‘e-mail’)
Help me find which subs I never need to read again: ban me so I know which ones to block. Thanks!

a lot of people are terrible writers, and as such, the idea that another user can actually write is offensive to them.
I worry you’re right, here; but only in brief episodes. I mostly want to assume otherwise.
I LOVE great writing: proper punctuation, good delineation, awareness of mass nouns, etc. I love when I see great writing and wish I could be as good.
I feel for people who don’t.


It could be regional or arbitrary. I say ‘coding’ a lot because it’s shorter. I could say one is about the keyboard work and one is about the architecture and design, but it’s really the fact that one’s shorter.
But in my environment, they’re interchangeable as much as anything can be. And I’ve grown up using both; even in college in the '90s, coding C and m68k.
YMMV?


George Conway may want a word.
Snipe-it failed iso27002 when I last checked.




I didn’t follow this advice myself and literally got screwed

Butbutbut the name has ‘open’ in it. How can this be?

IBS people hate this one weird trick?


Concrete is a [disaster] from an environmental perspective
Concrete -> density -> efficient housing and metro
I’m sorry you love sprawl and roads.


Anecdotal evidence being what it is, trends have smaller dogs being more prone to biting – small dog syndrome. Bigger dogs can be dicks if they’re raised poorly, but are less prone to bite.


Stop by a shelter or pet store (don’t buy from a pet store)
Pet stores in my area exclusively stock shelter dogs with the most personality so they can facilitate adoptions (for a transaction fee). So, ‘buying’ from a pet store gets you a shelter dog.


I absolutely love the Apple 3.5mm wired earpods. I have several spare for when apple decides it’s bored of them and stops supply.


I sense you haven’t seen Canadian rail travel. Go look.
(Edit: Spoiler: it’s astoundingly expensive for a time-consuming slog across the flatlands)

docker
Heh.
Day job: oneScrote and fucking ansible
Night job: some wiki for the architecture, but just config management for the config detail : we run the docs and it’s done. Thankfully not fucking ansible; because in any environment where there are options, it’s not fucking ansible.

Did you want ‘wrecking’?
Hate spending sounds like regular spending but with curse-words and frustrated gestures.
