Aren’t these the guys that preinstalled a root certificate to MITM you ads? Not something that can be casually forgiven.

Where’s the course on managing your reaction when the client starts moving the goal posts on a project that you didn’t specify well enough (or at all), because you’re a young eager…

This is interesting. I’m wondering how programmable this is. Would this project (or any similar ones) be able to POST a json payload with a field set to “now()”?

About the poor memory stuff, just get it in writing. “In writing“ could mean in an email, or a chat, or more likely in an issue tracker that has an audit log. When there’s a discre…

I was quoting from the article, which, admittedly, isn’t straight from the horses mouth. If there’s a discrepancy, one of them is wrong (I think I know which). > While there’s no d…

I like this mentality, truly, makes perfect sense. Check in often to make sure you’re building the right thing. Keep going until it’s done. However, the client is going to want to …

> It glows purple while it's heating This is not correct, it pulses blue indicating the iron is heating, and when turned off, pulses purple while cooling.

Looks nice, both the site and the app! The first thought I had though was, here's a central place where potentially hundreds, thousands, perhaps tens of thousands (or more, dependi…

> Anyway... we all know disabling security or not implementing it in the first place can really save you a lot of time. At least in the short run. The way I put it to my clients, a…

Nice roundup of tools! Just a small note, on safari mobile if I expand the Edit and then Convert sections, they open on top of each other. https://i.imgur.com/bSZdRTN.png

> getting people to use even the first layer of threads is very difficult, especially non-technical people Indeed. We use Google Chat which is roughly a Slack clone in terms of str…

> companies that offer a free service but start charging once they've locked in a client-base (I'm looking at you Heroku). I don’t know much about Heroku, or if it’s been enshittif…

I used Kali too, for Descent and other games. The chat rooms were true communities, probably one of the first times as a kid that I connected with other like-minded people (aka ner…

This looks really nice! Something my staff would definitely appreciate, especially the ability to 'version' the text file (even if it's just different copies of yaml files in a dir…

More than that, the article says 36B last fiscal year. 25M is less than 1 tenth of 1 percent.

All that text and all those still images and no gif or short video showing the pendulums swinging!? ;)

Yes, this! In this day and age, if you’re applying for a remote position but you’re still fumbling around, unable to smoothly join a zoom meeting with a working microphone, it does…

Heh, yeah, I was a heavy Prototype user back when it wasn’t clear which one of jQuery, Prototype, Scriptaculous, dojo, or mootools would ‘win’.

This reminds me of using xquery with MarkLogic circa 2010 to store the data, act as the middle tier, and generate the xhtml views, all in the same language. It had its quirks, but …

I know exactly where the expectation comes from. The whole world has demanded absolute precision from computers for decades. Of course, I agree that if we want computers to “think …

My favorite part of Uplink was the module you could buy to talk to other hackers. Which of course turned out to be an actual IRC channel with actual people! I hung out in the chann…

It’s not possible for everyone to know everything. Almost no one knows how to fix their , but at some point in history the opposite was true. Abstractions make technology available…

Maybe Google is responsible for the attack, to be able to publish this blog post!

Very cool, thanks. Looks like a lot of thought went into the UI, congrats on launching it!

Seeing as this is for business use where money is part of the data, is there a way to export all my data at once? Not only for having a backup, but also in the future in case I no …
