Hackers. Managed WordPress is great, unmanaged means you're the manager, devops, security expert, etc

Dropbox used to magically sync a folder across the web and show its status in the menu bar. Nowadays it's its own 400MB app which also syncs file. I don't want that. How can I cont…

I hope you’re being sarcastic. At heart, Slack is a chat app. Chat apps have existed for 40 years and don’t require a whole lot of data. The complex part might be displaying the da…

It's a fat joke.

If you think StackOverflow needs to be “saved” you’re deathly mistaken. Just because some complain about it it doesn’t mean that it’s failing.

> The overhead of setting up NPM What overhead? You don’t run any optimization step on your code? I haven’t seen a single front end project without package.json in years in all the…

And South Korea has the highest rate of soju drinkers. If you’re gonna pull a statistic out of a shadowy place, at least explain its link to the question. (For the record South Kor…

The more offensive the better. This is bad and they should feel bad.

It is because if a file is made of a hundred 1-line functions that’s not good code. The separation of concerns is likely not meaningful and it’s detrimental to the reading/understa…

> Your CI system isn't going to re-run your tests when your dependencies or sub-dependencies get updates. Yes and no. Your CI system runs when you want it to. If you want to check …

What’s the point of reproducibility in your team but not with your users (which is by definition the most common use case)? Libraries should skip lockfiles because they are ignored…

Some bad code is hard to lint automatically (e.g. if there’s a single function that all it does is arg.slice(1), no linter will catch that). I’ve found all kind of bugs just refact…

If your code has 20 if else in a row I don’t care if it’s performant and has no bugs, you’ll get a change request because I don’t want to maintain that pile of garbage. There are m…

You’re right in having no trust in them. Recently I complained about my price increasing by a couple % once I signed up. Nobody could tell me what the problem was. It took them sev…

Are you sure it said confidential? As far as I know Airbnb has always had a field for “A private note for the owner”. This is “confidential” between you and the owner, as in “not p…

Maybe being ignored (i.e. hidden) is the malicious intent. What if the largest file on your drive has that filename and no tool can show it?

“Left behind” i.e. this API will work for USA only. Don’t be silly. The point of browser APIs is that they work for all/most, if it’s only Apple Pay and Google Pay they solve nothi…

> In fact, if anyone knows an easy solution for that I'd love to hear it. What’s this? You’re asking for a solution to “things that don’t work” ️

Your request is too broad, I suggest asking a question on StackOverflow explaining what the issue is exactly.

Here's the thing: you can't have 1000 "discoverable" actions, there's no place for it. Correction: you do have 1000 discoverable actions, but you discover them in the menu bar. Wha…

I don’t think you can do 80kph in US cities either. Extra-urban EU roads allow 70 or 90 as well unless really curvy or with plenty of entrances, but in cities it’s 50 or less. I al…

This is the whole point of a community. Especially if you’re sure that the answer is slightly wrong, you can definitely fix it yourself, which is the best part of StackOverflow. Th…

What field accepts or rejects html? What are you talking about?

Oh my god, we should never allow people to have a little fun on their own blog and if they do, let’s call them childish and unworthy of finding work. /s It’s just a meme, used corr…

I didn’t upgrade: I created a new volume and installed a fresh Catalina on it. Honestly it’s been working great for me and the battery life increased (probably because my old insta…
