I've been thinking about adding this to the app I'm working on, as a sort of UI hint. Just something real subtle at each edge that is scrollable, to signal the user that they can scroll in that direction (maybe a transparent anima

I'm curious too. Anecdotally, I've never seen anyone use it for anything (I work in an office where Macbooks are standard issue). I think when I first got it I dicked around with it for 5 minutes, changing the colour of my termina

I'm with you on everything else (I'll be the first to admit that I love trashing Apple at every opportunity I get these days), but I find it weird that people criticize the dongle thing so heavily. Surely standardizing everything

I got this game as part of some shareware compilation disc. One of the earliest games I remember playing! What an absolute banger of a game.

What moral taboos are enforced by straight white males?

It's not even about the time, either. I do my best work in the morning. Almost every morning on my last project went like this: Get into work, grab a glass of water, bring up my todo list, start polishing off the first item, make 5 min

I mean, this sounds good in theory but we have mandatory voting in Australia and all the same problems anyway. There's barely any correlation between people's votes and their interests, unless those interests are so simplified tha

Close range sensors and secure transmissions. As long as the reader has to be within a couple of centimetres of the cards there's really nothing other players at the table can do to get the data that isn't obvious. It's not l

When you fold your cards in poker they're 'mucked' by the dealer i.e muddled in with the rest of the dead cards so you can't tell which cards came from where. This is to prevent cheating and confusion in ambiguous situat

Learning is pretty simple, the golden rule is "Don't learn new tech, learn how to solve new problems". Learning how to use something like Vue when you already know how to use React (or vice versa) is stupid because they both

The whole reason to replace a library with your own code is that that couple hundred lines only has to support the subset of features you need from something like Gatsby.

Or we could've considered it an opportunity to move people away from classical inheritance and towards something that's conceptually much simpler? (which both prototypal inheritance and functional programming are)

I don't know if Joel has done anything, it seems to me that the users have killed SO more than anything. The quality of most accepted and upvoted answers is so low relative to even the worst documentation or IRC channel that I find it

Completely agree. IMO the optimal efficiency is easily a team of either 2 or 3, with one FE and one BE, and optionally someone doing dev-ops-y stuff for both of them. After that point your 'output per man hours' can only really go

I don't really get what testing has to do with whether or not a piece of code is isolated or not? For example if you're making a change to a 4 line function with a clearly defined interface, the change is probably going to be triv

Because software projects fail for people reasons, and people reasons are usually subjective. If you have a tight team of experienced devs building a simple CRUD app you can do almost anything short of building the thing in Polish BASIC wit

Keyboard in AR is always going to have the tactile feedback problem. If we could solve the other two though it'd go a long way.

Seems fine to me. The lady told him she was calling the police on him so he notified them of that when they arrived. The only weird thing IMO is that he was '90% sure' he was the cause of the commotion. The overreaction seems ridi

It's not supposed to be a one size fits all I guess. For example, their recommended order of reviewing code tests first doesn't exactly work when you have no tests, as is pretty common at startups.

I think it's the opposite. We're in a bubble here. It's easy enough for a software engineer to say they'd pay for the content that's on the web when we have the disposable income to do so without even breaking strid

One thing nobody likes to mention much is that the value of a type system also scales pretty heavily with the quality (or lack thereof) of developers using it. For a small team full of talented engineers (e.g. a startup) it's not unrea

Yeah and you can drive dangerously with or without traffic lights. That doesn't mean traffic lights turning green in both directions at once isn't a disaster.

The Yamdenburg would be apt since it gives you a pretty good indication of how that's going to end.

I don't really see how this problem is any different to 'how do we know the #1 search result is the best content there is?', if it provides you the information you want, then great, otherwise you load #2.

Presumably if there's a working computer inside the case then it can't be packed to the brim with c4?

Menulog seems to be getting creamed here too. At this point I'd say it's UberEats' race to lose.

You're talking about two completely different levels of granularity. It's fine to discuss "what did we accomplish this month" and try to quantify it. It's not fine to ask a script writer why they didn't write a
