Maybe, just maybe we should hold users more responsible. If you're spending all day on Facebook, Twitter, etc. It's not a dark pattern that's keeping you there, it's your lack of s…

The counter to this is that oftentimes I'm at work and not at my computer so I need access to my email/calendar on a mobile device. This doesn't happen often enough for me to warra…

Part of the reason the Magic Mouse was a miss in my mind was that the Magic Trackpad was so much better. For how awkward the magic mouse was at first, the magic trackpad felt natur…

Hey! I'm using your software right now at work. Small world

I don't understand this watch. It has a Ronda cal.6004.D movement which is a Swiss Quarts movement. Not that the Ronda movement is a bad movement, there are just so much better opt…

Just don't answer those questions "truthfully. What I mean is I use 1password to store my credentials. So whenever a site asks me to provide 3 security questions and answer I will …

A while back I saw a post on ProductHunt from Evernote Design promoting their bookmarks for designers (https://www.evernote.design/). Around the same time, I saw another collection…

I agree, and that's one of the reasons I posted how long I've been in the industry. On the one hand, right now everything is flowers and daisies but who knows what it will look lik…

I can sort of see why and it's for the same reason databases are left wide open. You start a project. You set up a DB with minimal security because you're just starting the project…

Unpopular opinion: As a recent graduate (last 5 years), I can't agree with most works desire to unionize for one reason: demand for your skills. When I was looking for my second te…

Curiosity?

When I was in college a few years back I had many colleagues that wanted to get into the game industry. Most all were pretty serious gamers and many seemed to have false expectatio…

Back in 2012 I had a white MacBook. Apple said it only officially supported 4GB butt there were numerous reports of people getting it to recognize 8GB without issue. Back then I wa…

Domains are a whole different ball game thought, I've seen instances of domain names being seized for legal reasons (ie FBI seizing domains of torrent sites), but if the UK govt wa…

I was wondering what loadshedding was for a second, then I read your comment. Nice clean app, unfortunate that you had to make it. I'm not totally sure how loadshedding works but i…

It's really hard to classify WP as one or the other. Depending on what setup & plugins you are running it could either be essentially a static site or one that a web app for all in…

Honestly, I'm wondering how much of that number is currently propped up by Wordpress + other PHP CMS applications.

I look at this very simply. If you are a business that is marketing the app to external consumers, adding internationalization and accessibility protects you from possible legal an…

I recently switched over my side project's forms from traditional stateful forms to ones using react hooks. It's amazing at reducing noise in large forms that have tons of fields, …

I don't think anyone expected Musk to follow that directive. His comments after the initial rulling signaled he didn't really care for the SEC telling him what to do, followed by a…

My team uses a coding test with a bit of a twist. We provide the candidate with a simple application such as an address book or Todo list. We then ask them to either implement a fe…
