This is a bit of a false dichotomy. The thing that isn't code (at least in some people's minds) isn't "requirements analysis". It's architecture, data modeling, deployment, inter/i…

As a veteran of JSF - it is similar, but done better, I think. It's only the frontend. Those technologies were more heavyweight, where each component had a lifecycle it went though…

Fair point, yes.

> That's the definition, I didn't made it up. Your prior claim was that they only solve one problem, not about a definition. They solve several problems: - less data can move over …

I could be wrong, but this looks to be designed by AI. It's quite confusing.

I keep wanting to build a Kubernetes visualiser. I know they exist, but the last time I looked they didn't look that great.

I would love this as an active visualisation of a live postgres. Imagine monitors with this stuff on, including replication from other postgresses, and whatever pgbouncer is doing …

> We don’t really see 3-arity functions written in infix notation much. Would a better example be Python's inline if else construction? x = 3 if thing else 4

Indeed. No one expects console manufacturers to take unlimited losses, but yes, the price at the end of it all is what will matter.

Yes - I was only talking about when a person removes some code from use, removing the code as well as the call to the code. I wasn't meaning the compiler at all (although it would …

I don't understand - wouldn't this be observable by the person making the change? They used to call this function / use this class and now they don't any more? Even if it's inside …

This is how I hope the world will continue to be, because then programming, which is one of the most enjoyable things ever, may remain a human task, assisted by AI and other tools.…

That makes total sense (though it would be nice if it could do that detected, I suppose), but what makes less sense to me is the accumulation of unnecessary code (and presumably un…

> I’ve cut over 11,000 lines of completely dead code from Bun. I can’t think of another project whose codebase was so neglected as to reach 11K lines of dead code. I’ve also rewrit…

My big discovery a few years ago was uninstalling apps, especially social media apps. I don't mind the platforms, but removing their ability to ping notifications up was massive. I…

> They're just text behind the scenes, so you can copy them if you really want to. KeepassX lets you do it, and got into a kerfuffle about it.[1] Yes - the kerfuffle is broadly I t…

Faux pas or not, it now happens much more than it used to.

> The weird part is that password managers provide no way for you to copy and paste your passkeys. The main feature of passkeys is that they can't be pasted into a website they sho…

Yes, that would be good! I got to 86, and on a macbook trackpad, and those fake scores are making my RSI flare up.

True. I think there are two new issues this cycle: 1. They are testing what the market will bear. Ubisoft's silly "quadruple-A game" rhetoric and executives saying "people will hav…

That's one thing. The other is price. Consoles can be sold at a loss, particularly early in their 10-year cycle, when early on the loss is high, but close to the end of the cycle t…

I've had a few OnePlus phones - currently a Nord 4 - and have always found them good value for money. Early OnePluses (I think I had a 2 or 3 originally) were incredible value. Als…

> Any idea why they implemented it like that? 3D-Secure long predates apps, including in the UK. I had to work on a Government Gateway integration for local council payments in the…

Indeed. It's the same principle[0] the other way too - start a timer from user typing for an autocomplete function and only refetch after the timer expires. [0] https://developer.m…
