I agree Agile steers a team towards hastily bodged together code.

The abstraction is the standard case and should invite custom behaviour to be added dynamically. This extra behaviour should be added by the caller / user of the abstraction. Espec…

>just happened to be the same >MUST be the same This difference is something important to stress.

You mean "Start Menu"?

I don't think it works like that. Letters are shapes but keys just are a relative position. The software is reading gestures, specific keypress motions seems much less data to work…

China has big pharma too and they pivoted from authoritarian socialism to authoritarian capitalism, they're just making money now and don't care about their poor any more.

Apple messed up and that makes me happy

cademy is not a word though. code cademy.

I always have issues spelling it

:sadface:

Windows 10 was supposed to be the last Windows and I'm sticking with it forever.

I think it's a bit more complicated. We just arrived a little while ago in late-stage capitalism (around 2007 I reckon?), so now looking forward it's either revolution or back to f…

There will be (and is) some movement, but it's mostly around the middle class. Up and down. Poor people can't get in and fat cats dominate so the more you zoom out the more you're …

The oppurtunity was never equal. It's directly related to net worth which is one of the most unequal things we have.

That's a really cool article. The wording could be a lot simpler but the important part is that it does not abstract the concepts. They don't need to be abstracted because they are…

One of them should fork it on their personal account and work on it during bussiness hours. No liability and all the benefits. Don't tell legal obviously. "Someone forked it so now…

They're all shit in one way or another and they are all based on a language that is constantly evolving and used to be a mess of different interpretations of an unclear standard I …

A good carpenter never complains about his tools. He works around their limitations or uses something else. The quality of the product is down to the skill of the worker either way…

First sensible post on this topic. All others talk about the content like the premise rings true, but Apple will never do stuff like that, same as how the current tech giants don't…

Google maps is actually bloody good at just being a map. It's extremely convenient to zoom in and out, click around, view locations, add them to your route, etc. Yes you can up the…

hierarchies are toxic by definition

You have completely missed the point. The fact that you could does not mean you shoud or even would. Wanting a cabin in the woods and being able to afford it does not make you "Hou…

Very much this. If the management culture at your workplace is so sick they feel the need to make this behaviour a problem, there are probably other things wrong with the culture t…

Normal people want things that look cool and can be made with minimal effort. Some people can afford to stay in an abstract backend world without ever presenting anything to non de…
