I don't know about age limits, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to have term limits (both consecutive and total)

I think people sometimes forget that tests are made of code too. If it's possible to write bad code, it's certainly possible to write bad tests. And writing bad tests first (as in …

This only goes to show that the current system is inherently broken, but this is a completely different conversation.

If the two horrible options were free from context, sure. But that's hardly (if ever) the case. It is very convenient to start from a place where A has power over B, then say "B is…

I think there are two main factors that are different (not necessarily in order): * companies can much more easily weaponize their services and tailor them to get individuals addic…

It also works in this case, too: at some point the connection does close (if it doesn't, just hit escape) and you can save the image as usual, now from the cache.

Even if Framework goes out of business, most crucial parts that are likely to fail are standard (hard drive, memory, battery), so you'd still be able to replace them yourself. And …

You technically can, in 66 easy steps and about 1-3 hours [1], all the while risking damaging your laptop. Compare that with 3-6 minutes [2] for the actually replaceable battery on…

It also goes a little bit beyond that: if one of your ports stops working (e.g. rust, water damage, etc), you can just buy a replacement port and you're back on track, as opposed t…

It's great that we can use this as reference for what it used to be. Presumably, this is what competition should bring in: "traditional retail sucked, so amazon comes in and takes …

Languages are not inherently easy or hard. It all depends on where you're coming from: if you happen to already speak languages that are similar, then it can be said English will b…

This is amazing: "guaranteed at least 24h of exploiting a recently compromised account or your money back"

Probably not if the product in a plastic bottle is much more expensive than the same thing in a glass bottle, right?

Maybe it was the case, a long time ago, that the very rich accumulated their wealth by "living frugally", but it is certainly not the case anymore. Neither is the case that the est…

This is already how things work in the US: you only need to file if your estate is greater than 11.5MM as of 2020 [1]. "As a result, only about 2,000 estates per year in the US are…

You're talking about the title of the commit message. Yes, the title is supposed to be under 50 characters. Now add a blank line after it and you can write all you want (line wrap …

Lobbying itself is not bad: legislators need information to make decisions about things, and lobbying provides them with it. The bad, and frankly unbelievable part, is the whole "m…

Since the article's main point is that you should use semantics as much as possible, it's probably better that you used the "wrong" tag when choosing between or , than using the wr…

They mention the design being open source, but it's being surprisingly hard to find anything other than just the claim that it is open source. :(

This is disgusting. Here's a completely opposite example of a restaurant that is not run by discrimination: https://dc.eater.com/2017/2/17/14635410/kazi-mannan-mayur-ka...

$500/month will go a long way in many countries out there or for many life styles. Since we don't know who this person is or how/where they live, I wouldn't automatically assume th…
