When configuring Skype settings, Skype has a convenient “Import sounds” button that easily allows you to add sound files to skype…regardless of whether Skype can read the files.
Worse yet, after importing sounds that don't work, skype refuses to overwrite the existing files with new files with the same name.
The icing on the cake is that it doesn't provide any tools for removing the imported sound files.
But I figured out how to get rid of them.
@Raynos gave an excellent talk a couple weeks ago.
There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things.
10 lines of code = 10 issues.
500 lines of code = “looks fine.”
If you're reading this, you're probably stuck in the same boat as me, where a botched upgrade is preventing you from playing one of your games on Origin with a message of "NONE-NOUN ERROR".
A good vacuum sucks more than a bad one.
Email is where your keystrokes go to die
I got an automated email from Google a couple weeks ago notifying me that they were changing the pricing of their Google Drive storage plans. My initial reaction was the standard sarcastic “oh that's wonderful, how much more is it going to cost me now?”
I had been paying $2.50 per month for 25GB of storage. The new plan will be $2.00 per month for 100GB of storage!
20% less for 300% more. Google, seriously, how do you even make money?
A friend shared “Questions I Have For People Who Have Their Life Figured Out”, and I thought it was interesting enough to be worth writing up an open response.
