There's a dissertation and thousands of articles(one if which this comments section links to) that go into all the minutiae of a "proper" REST implementation. My comment poses the …

It doesn't really matter what the dissertation says. Because we don't follow dogma. REST has evolved. Whether people understand it or not isn't that important, what matters is the …

This forum should be above intellectually disingenuous comments such as this. This isn't Facebook, I'm not going to meme back at you. If you don't understand BLM at this point, tha…

I don't think it's because people are offended at the use of the word master, in this case. I think, that it's symbolic. By making a point of getting rid of the word master, you're…

What's the issue? There's two that are unavoidable. The maximum speed of moving data from one physical place to another, moving data from the hard drive to the motherboard and the …

No one's delivered? There were and are plenty of platforms for full apps on the web. All of them require: loading each time or elevated privileges above the normal browser. This is…

You know there's a difference between what is most likely true and what's provable in court, right? It's perfectly reasonable to see all the facts, many of which aren't permitted t…

Selling off undervalued assets to the same investors while they screw over employees and small share holders?

There's no reason why "figure out what to do next" can't be a concrete task. I set up a daily schedule and I schedule reassessing and specifying more detail into my work.

Causation? Are we sure it's not being uderreported mental illness and people moving to the cities because of mental illness and addiction problems?

The anti-visual noise bias has gone too far. You remove boxes, underlines, and understandable cues like arrows, then they remove words and replace them with nonsense icons. Most UI…

I agree with the idea that there's too much reliance on in-app education, but this post quickly starts snowballing false metaphors into an extreme of a label is bad design. There i…

Devs using the newest tech at start-ups, hobbies, and in their side work leads to the menegerie of today's Node Microservices Containers (or whatever) becoming tomorrow's Java 8 on…

I am autistic. I tend to get stuck in reading something in the context I was already thinking in.

I read the example of Blender as an example of one of many open source solutions.

Companies weigh the benefit of open source for their needs against non open source products. A limited list of reasons they may use it include available talent (people often learn …

Interest? Very few people care to build medical billing software or crms for free in their spare time. So you get products that aren't as good. Even with blender, there's far bette…

I don't think it's an intelligence thing just what problems one's come across. Generating configs for various deployments where resources change? Generating configs for developer s…

I use bookmarks, but rarely for clicking from the bar. Chrome and Edge promote bookmarked sites in the nav bar suggestions when I'm typing. I usually use descriptive names of the c…

It makes sense to me. The previous generations had pages that had more rendering on the server and "forms." Now, it's single page applications hitting REST end points. So before, y…

Yeah, it's true, but I've also been in interviews where I told them I was using a tool that I think they thought was too hipster and ended up just being ahead of the curve (Babel o…

Why does it have to be simple enough for everyone to understand? We're talking building in one of the most expensive parts of the world where only the richest organizations can aff…

I hope they break the API and create proper namespacing. I recommend using the model from Composer/Packagist.

Mobile browsers can figure out scroll on their own, why did they do this? I wonder why websites override default browser page navigation that works just fine with broken estimation…
