But it's only a dark pattern in the right (wrong?) context, no? For instance, my webmail has infinite scroll and it's damn convenient. Yet, I never find myself mindlessly scrolling…

I'm sorry for your loss. I had a similar experience in the US. In my case, a doctor flatly contributed the (impending) death a byproduct of COVID. All tests prior to COVID were pos…

This is one of the things I miss about Perforce - every merge was effectively a squash merge, but the branch was still there, just not visible by default (if I remember correctly).…

Apple isn't in the habit of treating end of life or soon to be replaced products in this way, so it raised some eyebrows. MacRumors got a follow up from Apple confirming that it ha…

This is sound advice that I can definitely get behind. However anecdotally it's not what I've observed to be true. In my above mentioned example, the people with the most and stron…

I was at Disney for almost a decade (possibly at the division ultimately responsible for Disney+, but I’m not positive - it’s hard to keep up with all of the changes and renaming) …

They almost certainly render two frames at a time. Thus bringing the render time down to only 100+ years per film.

I ran (self-hosted) TeamCity at a division of Disney for years with hundreds of projects across teams with lots of complex dependencies. To this day (though I haven't kept up as mu…

Wouldn’t that be wonderful? Over 20 years of really solid experience here doing some awesome stuff for recognizable employers. I’ve had the exact experiences as the author. One rec…

I haven't had to upgrade to 6, so it's a bummer to hear it's so painful. On a fresh Rails 6 project built with "--webpack=stimulus", I haven't had to muck with Webpack (on two ongo…

I empathize with everything you're saying here, but I do humbly disagree. I've experienced exactly what you're talking about, and it's a nightmare. Frankly, I think the Rails codeb…

I was introduced to the idea of ghost kitchens a couple years ago. Initially, I was pretty keen on the idea. But at the time, we already had ghost kitchens operating in LA, and sin…

It's worth noting that while the article is coming from Square, this is an official Ruby project and is "Ruby 3’s new language for type signatures". https://github.com/ruby/rbs

So, threads and instances are two very different things. They both use memory, though threads use far, far less memory - just like in other languages where you would use threads fo…

I’ve never counted, but based on how many pods I’ve used and how many bags I’ve recycled, I’d have to guess around 100. Maybe more? I actually take my bag to the Nespresso store, s…

This is not correct. When Ruby is doing I/O such as this is the only time it’s not blocking. This is due to Ruby, not specific to Rails. Here are a few references: https://github.c…

I can relate to much of what you're saying. This seems to be the common trapping of modern society - everyone must be happy and care about the same things. I'm not professionally q…

In ‘94 (if not earlier), I was drinking lattes at a mom and pop coffee shop in a tiny town in the Midwest. And at another indie coffee shop at the nearest major university campus. …

I randomly happened upon this while traveling in Japan several years back. I didn't know anything about it when I came across it, so it was quite the treat. Honestly, the photos an…

Hey! I just saw this and thought I'd follow up for posterity's sake in case anyone else came across this. This gets into how we want to define "diffing", but I would say no, no the…

Disclosure: I've had an architect title for nearly a decade. I actually don't think half a day is nearly enough. BUT I also don't think that this needs to happen every week. Someti…

Hrmmm... we have very different experiences with Turbolinks. Maybe older versions were more like that, but v5 is definitely not. Turbolinks doesn't look at the page at a node level…

Turbolinks merges the contents of , but replaces the contents of outright. No diffing on the body. "During rendering, Turbolinks replaces the current element outright and merges th…

The title is misleading as it implies everything new in macOS, when the linked page is limited to human interface guidelines. Perhaps this should be retitled something like "What's…
