This text succinctly summarizes what I struggled to express to some of my colleagues. It doesn't offer a solution but it neatly highlights the problem. A lot of attention is being paid to things like keyboards, mice, software used to w

Institutional memory. If you work on a project long enough, you tend to remember these things. You may not recall the exact issue id, obviously, but you know you've seen something like this and there's a limited number of keywords

I definitely prefer this over trackers that for some inexplicable reason have different flows for bugs, requests, API comments, features and what not. The "inbox" you speak of already exists: unlabelled issues are your inbox. :)

Yup, people do this all the time.

There are many different lines of products from IKEA. Even if they serve the same purpose (kallax and eket for example), the price is a pretty good indicator of the durability of the furniture and your ability to disassemble and reassemble

2020 is PERFECT for something that we assume will just hover around for some time. Because it's 2020 and I'm fully prepared that it will simply crash. ;)

Depends on the country and depends on the state. E.g. in California the basic overhead in terms of taxes payed by the employer is slightly below 10%. Then the personal income tax is 13%. You have to include other costs like matching 401k, m

We're talking costs, not pay. You have to pay taxes and provide various benefits to meet the legal requirements of employing someone.

I feel like the only thing that can save Fx at this point is a community-funded, community-led fork. The only problem is: this project would need a lot of monies, so unless there's a corporate sponsor (or sponsors) it's unlikely t

Forza Street probably. Anything with microtransactions is bound to be bad for customers but FS is probably the most criticized MS product to date (and yeah, it's a re-skinned, acquired product but I'd still count it against Micros

Sure thing. But this also changes the reference point. If the entire video game industry is THAT predatory by 2022, it's hard to single out Microsoft for that and hold me responsible for my optimism today. ;)

No Microsoft game has monetization as bad as Fallout 76. So whatever Bethesda does from now on can't be worse than what it does today. ;)

Probably depends on the franchise and will be decided on title by title basis. After all Minecraft is on many more platforms today than before the acquisition.

FreeCAD saved me a lot of headaches when I bought a flat last year. My wife wasn't happy with me spending a lot of time drawing stuff by the entresol ended up exactly as we expected and since I modeled and positioned every piece of fur

It's up to chip manufacturers, not IP provider, to release code - and none of them did.

With those priorities in mind I'd probably start with RocksDB and build SQL engine on top. I'm really impressed with RocksDB performance, space requirements and feature set.

I think I'd have to have 501 karma to be able to do that, and I don't have that, nor do I strive to get there.

There's no "only" in the title. Are you even interested in the topic or you're just taking the opportunity to whine?

People who don't use Kali comment on whether move from one shell to another was right for the Kali users. This drive by commenting is sadly omnipresent in the open source world. OpenBSD uses CVS? They should use git. XServer? Why not W

I assumed that the B in b-corp stands for bullshit, but I checked. And the explanation is bullshit (label given to some companies which claim to care about stuff that matters), so unfortunately I was right and so was vmception: you can&#x27

Twitter is crap for posting text and, frankly, if someone if providing valuable insight that's a photo of a napkin - arguing about the delivery method is just rude. If you want the plain text, OCR that image and post it somewhere.

I'm tech savvy (software developer for 15+ years) but I used to be a web journalist in my early days and I can appreciate the need of ads. So I wouldn't block ads until a year age or so. But I'm still very conscious of pages

What IA did was counterproductive to the concept of CDL. I think most people agree on that. But what I find disheartening if that the majority voice is that what needs protecting more is not people's access to the information but publi

Having system in place (90% of libraries do) doesn't mean all or even most of the books they have physical copies of are available in digital form. The question isn't whether libraries can lend digital books but if they are able t

Affordance means that the interface of something indicates clearly how it's supposed to be used and for what purpose. This is broader term and it applies to physical stuff like door handles or knife grips too. It's intuitive enoug

These publications combined can't match market penetration of those that are controlled by the government or owned by PiS sympathizers (e.g. Karnowscy brothers). So yeah, there are a few but that doesn't magically balance the undu

I used to think that unit tests are a waste of time. But they find tons of bugs in my code so I simply can't ignore the reality by posting some random untestable code and claim that it proves that tests are (most of the time - let&#x27

This may be a silly nitpick but it bugs me that "Setup for Windows" in the documentation marks node and rust/cargo as "This step is skippable if already satisfied" but VS Build tools as "This step is required&q

I can easily walk my dog there so there's no need for the sidewalk. If you break your leg, if you're old or disabled - tough luck. I stopped reading after this ableist argument. Those overreaching regulations trying to make life e
