I feel like my ideal workflow would be a middleground between doing the design up front and just jumping into coding. Before you start coding I feel like you don't have much of an …

I've been doing that for my own clothes. White t-shirts turn pink, but pink is a good look too so I don't really care. Maybe that means I'm still a kid :)

Isnt supply price-inelastic in the short term, so "30% above" is the same quantity at all price levels?

Except the things you mention correspond to looking at sales data in your backend DB, not putting google analytics in your frontend, right?

Norway switched back to a tax-based model this year, where everybody above a certain income gets deducted between 150€ and 300€ more yearly. The cost to the average person went dow…

"Turing-complete text editor can do anything" :) To be fair, I dont actually know what percentage of editors have that feature, my impression is just that many people arent aware o…

I don't get why more editors don't support parsing compiler output to get the file name and line for errors. Its dead simple, no need to run a server, just allow running the compil…

Im unable to book flights with local airlines via firefox because the payment popup gets blocked with no warning. Sure, I can figure out whats going on and use a different browser,…

Ive experienced the same thing, but have attributed it to gaining more experience. I feel like the questions answered on stack overflow usually are ones that one can trivially solv…

It seems so scary to ship software where you are not in full control over font rendering, because at that point you have suddenly have a million edge cases which you weren't forced…

I'm curious in what way microsoft would not be interested in having users not install office. I thought that office was microsofts primary revenue source (maybe this is info from b…

I guess "not nonsensical" would be more appropriate than "informative" :) I tend to dump information like that in "// NB (my name, current date) tralala"-style comments. Do you hav…

Which part is it that confuses you? On github the commit messages and hashes on the left hand side indicate the last commit that touched those lines, and you can click on them to s…

I use git blame, but in the same way I use the rest of git: I find the commit which changed a line, and then look at what else that commit and the ones before/after it did. I guess…

Do people actually read commit messages? I don't have much experience working on large projects with a larger team, but I keep repositories both for personal things and work so I c…

My impression from seeing old windows version (never having used anything older than vista) was that in general using an extra window instead of a separate pane inside the window w…

Killing a process without freeing all allocations is, as far as I can tell, routine in C. Especially for memory it makes no sense "freeing" allocations, the whole memory space is g…

On the fresh install of the 2019 build tools lib\x64 is 200 MB. I tried using 7zip to compress to .zip instead of to .7z, that took the archive from 25MB to 75MB. I might not have …

In that folder, bin includes files for compiling from x86/x64 to x86/x64, and in practice you only need one of the subfolders (in my case the x64 to x64 toolchain). The lib folder …

Which you need the visual studio installer for, which only works half of the time. Just to check if it still is as bad as last I tried, I downloaded the build tools and started the…

Not sure exactly what folder you mean, but I literally have a 75 MB zip file (or rather, it's a .7z file, zipping would make it slightly larger). Unzipped its 700 MB though.

If you install visual studio, and then copy together all the files it adds to %PATH%, %INCLUDE% and %LIB%, and create a .bat script to set environment variables to point to your co…

The " is cheap" mantra also really only makes sense if you are writing server code, where you yourself pay for all the memory your code will ever use. If you deploy code to a large…

I guess thats more an issue of "modern" IDEs, which seem invariably bloated. Im sure there are productivity arguments to be made about using an IDE, but I can't get over how they a…
