You can get a very similar experience with hot-reloading. In C# my current test-writing workflow is: 1. write the basic test scaffolding 2. debug, stepping until I get to a point in the test that needs to change 3. modify the test code (and

Bitwarden is also quite family friendly, both in that it's easy to use and you can share passwords with other people.

The vast majority of code written the for Australian government is, and I think will remain, closed, though there's certainly support for contributing to or publishing open source. But the reality is, most government software isn'

By why would someone work for $150m when they can get $250m? The pool of CEOs that can successfully run billion dollar companies is pretty tiny.

I just bought my first Mac in ~30 years, having been all Windows or Linux in that period. I've been blown away by now nice it is - both the hardware and MacOS. Sure, there are some annoyances for a "power user" where somethin

I have a similar history, although a year or two ago I switched back to FF for everything other than development - I still find their dev tools far slower and less helpful than Chrome/Edge. For general use though, FF has been just fine

This was my initial approach - we tried letting him flounder for a year - he just got more and more behind and more disconnected from school and family. The existential dread kicked in from time to time, but was never enough to break the im

I have timeboxed access for devices controlled at the router - kids devices are blocked after their bed time, and all devices are blocked after midnight (which has been a good thing for me, too). It doesn't stop them from playing a loc

100% agree - and it's having a serious impact on at least one of my kids who has a learning disability. Teachers just really aren't equipped to deal with kids on devices who know how to use them better than the teachers do.

I really like Brave, and use it on mobile, but container tabs is still the killer Firefox feature for me on desktop. Hopefully one day Brave will get the equivalent.

It's very rarely a developer's role to say outright "no". It's our role to make trade-offs understandable by decision-makers, and to clearly articulate why we think something is a bad idea. Sometimes (usually...) th

Joplin is excellent. You can run your own sync server and not rely on cloud storage at all (there's a docker image - very simple to set up). It also imports and exports a hierarchy of folders/markdown files, so on- and off-boardin

I'm feeling quite ambivalent about where AI art is going. This passage from 1984 always stuck with me: “The tune had been haunting London for weeks past. It was one of countless similar songs published for the benefit of the proles by

I just bought my first Mac in 20+ years, in no small part because of how terrible Win11 is. This seems to validate that choice.
