It kinda sucks though if you end up being a bad culture fit a couple times in a row. You end up being rejected on that basis alone. Forever. And there is nothing you can do about i…

> I used to lose entire days trying to figure out some stupid error in a build chain or trying to upgrade through some library's breaking change. Shouldn't the takeaway here be tha…

What an absolutely unnecessary analogy. The question is obviously more asking what is preferable about putting data centres in places where there is high competition with the popul…

> every frame of an animation should look good if captured and analyzed statically, in isolation This is just true though. It isn't the only thing that matters but if you are creat…

What do you think the premise of the article is? The article is pretty narrowly speaking of "app" UI and your comment is a "well actually" that some videos intentionally introduce …

This isn't true generally. I am personally far more comfortable with disabling smooth scroll. It has more to do with your mind's expectations. Which can vary between people. Some p…

No they are not used everywhere. Some games with good UI use animations everywhere that an animation is appropriate. But plenty of good UI exist without animations. The point above…

> The Carney admin has started to make the right moves. What moves in particular?

No. Pollution is a byproduct. Spam and slop is quite literally the product in many cases. GenAI generated blogs or websites or youtube videos are the point for those creating them,…

The search results aren't hyperlinks? So middle clicking to open in a new tab does nothing. Odd choice.

True! I love it when I buy a computer pre-installed with windows and it has a bunch of extra software bundled in like norton antivirus, dropbox, and opera. Plus the OEM makes money…

It's like watching a linkedin post in human form.

Using Go means you are forgoing Docker...? Ok. Also if you don't need certbot anymore is your service managing its own ssl certs with letsencrypt? Isn't it generally easier to conf…

A lot of features that git had by default had to be enabled as plugins in mercurial. The plugins were usually shipped with mercurial so you didn't have to install them separately, …

I've used a datalist for autocomplete suggestions and it's worked great.

Your examples of engines are less about "it works" as more that it does a thing we couldn't do before and it works better than the previous thing . But neither of those are especia…

The worst part about smart phones is their browser/social media. Technically, even dumb phones like the nokia 3310 had contact lists so you didn't have to memorize phone numbers. A…

From the article > Rob studied the man's face and vaguely remembered him as Ronnie Lockwood, someone he would occasionally see at Sunday School as a boy and who he was told to be k…

It's cute that you truncated the most important part of the other commenter's message; "your security failure is that you use a package manager [that allows third-parties push arbi…

I've heard the term used for servers before but not version control repositories. I just don't understand what it would mean for a git repo to be a cattle vs a pet. Like what is an…

I made a service using something like a 64 bit wide ULID but there was never a presumption that data is be inserted or updated earlier than the most recent record. If the domain is…

At some point you must be open to being compelled to read code you run or ship. Otherwise, if that's to hard, then I don't know what to tell you. We'll just never agree. If you fin…

I agree with you that I shouldn't have to treat my libraries like untrusted code. I don't know what the rest of your comment means. I don't see how I'm preventing anybody from look…

> There were no code assist tools in 2022, but jobs disappeared. In 2020 there was a global pandemic called COVID-19 that had a pronounced affect on the world economy. Stimulus che…
