I get what you're saying, in effect a chicken and egg paradox with cars vs public transit. I think that's a fair argument when it comes to commuter transit, but ultimately the hors…

Mass transit sounds utopian but is mostly nonsensical to Canadians who live outside of the few big cities and understand how goofy it would be to put thought into it. Toronto and O…

I was writing code for a Raspberry Pico and a beginner at it. The Pico is hooked up to a little display with no documentation other than a few horrible convoluted and broken-englis…

I've been in the web development industry for roughly 17 years and loved most of it until Agile took over. Now everything is reduced to ticking off tasks and almost zero room for c…

I've always seen this as a weird argument. Are people just opening and quitting their IDE/editors constantly all day? So what if it takes 30 seconds to start if it's done once or t…

It sounds like I had a similar experience as you, I'm also 6'4". I had the largest Aeron and it was terrible, especially the hard plastic sides that pressed/cut into my outer thigh…

Yeah I had been issued an Aeron at my office and although it wasn't the worst chair I've ever had, it did cause me a lot of soft tissue pain. After about eight months with the HM, …

What's more likely though: military experts who can't possibly know everything going in all aspects of not just the entire US military but also all of the world's militaries AND th…

I call it Made-By-A-Macitis because it's so common in this industry since MBP's are issued by default almost in web dev companies, which inevitably leads to weird scrollbars here a…

I imagine Trump's installed someone in charge of the USPS to destabilize it in a hurry in order to erode confidence in the USPS to be able to handle mail-in voting. Perhaps he'll g…

Oooh, good question! Anyone able to answer this?

Seconded - the code integration is fantastic as well. Intellij magically complains when I'm typing a SQL query in a string and get a column name wrong and all sorts of weird little…

I can agree on the points you made about the system not having any need to be efficient, a government ran system is just not able to be lean - but as far as people just getting wha…

Whoah, Scrollbars abound! Feedback: Have a look on a Windows PC once before soliciting a million eyeballs.

I suppose as a user you could definitely look at it that way. As an investor I'd be worried about losing their churned-out merchants to other platforms like Etsy and Woocommerce an…

REALLY hard. What you might be seeing a lot of these days is that app dev companies go around buying up other well-established apps and/or their development companies just because …

As someone who worked developing Shopify apps (NOT a Shopifyt employee to be clear), I can attest to the incredibly high percentage of shops that evaporate from the platform on a n…

Great comment, your one paragraph really changed the way I think about East Asia. Thanks!

As a business owner I'd be VERY interested in something (fad or not) that cuts development time and complexity by a substantial amount. As a developer I want to use things that mak…

Take all their time that you need and don't hold back. If due to all your questions they realize their onboarding process is weak then they'll at least know they have to put more t…

There are other things, that's just an example of the startlingly poor decision making skills.

Try Nuxt. It has easy-peasy server side rendering. If you know Angular then you'll be at home with Vue (used in Nuxt), which is much nicer and a bit faster and smaller and a bit mo…
