What was the point of leaving EU if the cookie nonsense still takes half your screen?

Deno is webby... But who cares? It's solving a problem no one has. Standard library improvements are always welcome, though.

But it sounds like you have to get deep into this programming language, and figure it out yourself for the stuff that's not already there? Containers and software installs etc. alr…

I can see how it would be a good system for ruby or python packages, or a docker replacement. But it seems it isn't able to blindly mirror stuff from pip, for example? Or to just p…

I'm sorry, I keep hearing about this thing, but it's just not solving any major problem I actually have in in programming or computer environment. Non-reproducable environments are…

I don't know anything about these two sides or what are their issues, but I can see this article has zero actual facts. Sounds like some low level buerocrat who is salty at not bei…

I agree. I know new engine is supposed to speed up rendering, but on my linux boxes, everything feels slightly slower than before. Not a big deal for an IDE or IDE light, but for w…

I'm a bit rusty with MySQL, but it feels like he could have just indexed the original table...

But that's just a basic page with some stock photos...

My experience mirrors that. If you have a dynamic set of databases or even tables, be ready to invest into tooling to recreate features you take for granted in a normal database.

> In Europe children are not required to write essay or complete extracurricular activities to enroll in highschools or middleschools, and they are not generally dumber than the Am…

Fair point. I am not a heavy GA user, I just use the basic functionality. Nevertheless, I don't feel iffy about my Interests profile participating in aggregate data available to th…

I bought a Sony smart TV about a year ago. I don't get ads per say, but there is a prominent area in the main menu where Sony wants to shill their services and that can't be turned…

That's a fair point. While I am not as concerned about big tech's data siloing as some, I can see why it's worrying. Unfortunately, not only is GA the best totally free analytics s…

I am not deep into analytics space, but I know from experience that the most popular ad blocker (ublock origin) will block the most popular self hosted analytics package (matomo).

A lot of relevant interactions in modern apps are client based. You'd have to send those data points via ajax, but then you've just recreated google analytics. Also, feels like a b…

As a user of google analytics, I don't know any of that.

That'd be a reasonable counter-point if extensions like uBlock Origin weren't also blocking self-hosted analytics packages, like Matomo. I think people in general have gotten so si…

But these are all things that real world business can learn as well about you, more or less. You don't have a problem with them knowing that.

They also know when you like to visit, what you like to order, how long you stay, who are you with... All together, that's more data than a Google Analytics user knows about any of…

Classes made it easier to wrap things implicitly and "do the right thing", even if the developer doesn't know or care what you did. With hooks, you need to do all these optimizatio…

Exactly. Electricity should be something that just exists, as an ambiance around you. That you pay a predictable, modest monthly bill, and can than focus on other things. Who needs…

I don't mind blocking ads, but analytics? That seems like the taking the desire for privacy too far. Why shouldn't site owner know you've visited their site? How will they do their…

Not impressed by their historic cherry-picking. Railroads were just one of numerous advancements planners were counting on. For example, it went hand in hand with mass mobilization…
