I'm not sure why string level manipulations would be necessary in a structured data format to begin with. You'll update the URL using tooling regardless, so why not utilize the lan…

Then perhaps this isn't for you.

If the owner reads this, I'd consider getting codepen.app registered as a public suffix [1]. [1] https://publicsuffix.org/

There are real infrastructural reasons it's harder to do in North America compared to Europe, but that's not it. Biking is relatively popular and definitely feasible within ten km …

> as a meta comment: I’ve been working on talking about my programming opinions by just saying “THING does not feel good to me, I prefer OTHER THING instead”. That post I linked to…

I find the bridges to be rather brilliant, as they're distinctly European without being placeable (until Spijkenisse got feeling[1]). The least historical governmental buildings in…

If that happens, I hope we label it dysentropy.

That sounds like an oligarchy. Especially if "great" is measured in dollars rather than public good.

Its history is also one of perseverance. Blender was never a runaway success story, but rather a matter of becoming a little better every day and eventually getting a recognition f…

If you introduce flatness without also adjusting the colors (or worse, making many backgrounds translucent) you end up with really poor contrast.

Could the US effectively sanction BRICS these days?

Microsoft controls NPM and GitHub. I would not put it past them to truly take over a project if they gauged it in their best interest (though it would be a massive violation of tru…

> For example a customer reports a bug, your program can't print. Oh, you say, we never even had that feature! Please post again, as a feature request. As a sidenote, I dislike it …

It really bums me out that I fully believe this is it. Megacorps seize the demand for regulation (to regulate them) in order to write regulation that purportedly does that, but in …

There's a C-suite of five people and a board of advisors I couldn't be bothered to count before their public beta for an AtProto instance. That just seems too heavy an operation fo…

Permissive licenses don't protect against projects that decide to change the license when releasing a new version. Copyleft protects against that as a general rule. However some pr…

Raymond Chen has two blog posts that first describes why Space Cadet was removed because of a 64-bit rounding mode bug and then a follow-up post a decade later clarifying that that…

> Adobe used to be $600 per month, then it became $20 when distribution scaled. What product is this referring to? I haven't heard about Adobe having any offering that is quite tha…

Pretty much every word in English seems to have an innuendo meaning to someone, do anyone truly care past the age of 15? I find Tangled's language a bit annoying because I'm pretty…

There are a lot of executives acting in a way that makes me believe they're less interested in viability than causing a stockmarket supernova.

I admire people who do that. Writing down what you learn cements knowledge, and sharing what you write might help someone else.

Ubuntu's upgrade tools wait until the .1 release for LTSes, so your typical installation would wait at least half a year.

I read that as a frustration with the disparity between "you build it, you run it" and the enterprise-y habit to co-opt terms from free-roaming developers and stripping them of all…
