Is there anything similar for Civ IV? So many top tier mods break after a while due to the same memory issues.

> You only think it's performative because you think people are signalling You're correct that I think something because I think something else. You're assuming I'm unwilling or un…

My take is you've got the right reasoning but the wrong conclusion, I agree with your contextless definition of vulnerability and with the use of it in this context, vulnerability …

Plus rarely survives requirements/context changing because most abstractions are leaky. My favourite frameworks are written by people smart enough to know they're not smart enough …

ha wow, read about a guy having to clean up after some data scientists that'd figured out how to use circular references and an iteration limit to do crazy, hard to replicate stuff…

Shhhhhhhh. Do you have any idea how much I made in Fintech converting spreadsheets that'd exceeded the TA's ability to hack/keep it all in their head and/or quit? Favourite include…

Also have to hard disagree. I remember going from the Oculus DevKit2 to the Vive, seeing the change in people we'd invite over for "I'm done trying to convince you with words just …

About 10 teams, some horizontals like Ops, commercial, design, tech, finance, some product specific KPIs & 2-3 project based teams. I'm going to need to push to keep the number of …

ty, not reinventing is the purpose of my post :) I've explored using PowerBI a bit, it doesn't seem to be geared towards extracting the data once it's in PowerBI. I'd want to be ab…

I'm looking to track some company KPIs, we've been using excel which has all the drawbacks you'd expect. I thought there'd be some tool which for example stores the data in a SQL d…

The escape hatches were one of the first things I used to explain why I initially liked react, called them exactly that too. "They're smart enough to know they're not smart enough …

Agreed, I thought we were past this with the 4th generation of these frameworks, this is like knockoutjs all over again. The moment the penny dropped for me was when I read somethi…

A lot of young companies are hindered by the pain and overhead of developing and supporting multiple native apps (including patching, tracking & resolving separate bugs etc), spend…

That implies you'd dislike this more than most because it prevents "breaking" things efficiently by intentionally crippling tools and throwing out red herrings.

When I see apps going Electron to me they're saying "I care more about making this easily available and focusing on features other than performance" - which is absolutely fine it's…

Bryan's amazing talk on this nails it for me https://vimeo.com/230142234

Bought a Corsair K95 a year or so ago and it's fantastic for me, even bought a second for the office. Pricey but it's worth it.

My vote for Lucid, got my company to switch from Draw.io. Nearly everything works how I expect it to which is just not true when it comes to the other online diagram tools

For anyone interested I did a fair bit of research into how I could step into the passable home espresso / coffee game as I WFH a lot. Given that : - I make at most 3 coffees a day…

Typescript has overall been a godsend on larger frontend projects. I'm replying more to add to the public thought and support of it.

Ha, total opposite, our small company has near 100% conversion from greenfield to ongoing maintenance contracts, some days this is a point of pride AND a cross to bear :) It can ta…

It's a mean cat. In the last few years I've ended up going through cycles of doing a react project, moving on for some months then another react project. Each time I've come back I…

It encourages you to first understand and say what you need, then talk about what you want as one possible solution. We're very "good" at solutionising what we think we want rather…

As a recent 30 year old dev in London looking to do just this, I'd really appreciate any advice :)
