I don't get why everyone talks about carbon instead of fossil fuels. The carbon that's already in the atmosphere cycles through it but doesn't change it. The carbon that gets dug up from the ground gets added to the atmospher

No, I think we have just as much of a need for frameworks, so you would have the same React for example, but instead of having JSX that is a combination of html5 elements and react components, you'd have JSX that is a combination of ht

Indeed it was ExtJS 3. Nowadays I use angular and react (different employer). They’re not as comprehensive as ExtJS but they are also more flexible. Productivity has not really improved all that much however since 2007, which I find somewha

I was stuck supporting IE6 for a lot of large organizations and was often in the loop on why they decided to stick with it. I never heard the ability to set strict group policies as a reason. What I mostly heard was internal web apps built

You’re both right, some of the time. There are two types of approaches to working out a problem. One is to get everyone in a meeting and talk it over until a solution is reached. The other is for a single person to carefully think through t

Time zones are a political compromise. They don’t make sense logically, but they make a lot of sense when you realize they are decided by politicians. All of timekeeping is based on a long tradition of political compromise. Coordinated univ

If you’re only used to windows you might not notice how inefficient it is, and you may also be doing the “right” kind of workload for windows. On an i7 6700hq thinkpad I did the experiment and ran both windows and linux for an extended peri

The battery is indeed doable, but the keyboard and screen on the macbook air are more of a challenge, although the parts shouldn’t be hard to find in a few years. With the Framework laptop those parts are easy to replace but bespoke, so fra

Same here. I went from a thinkpad to an m1 air, and although the noise wasn’t something that bothered me before, I do appreciate its absence now. The battery life also is a big draw. I can go to the office without a charger, and it’s not a

I’ve tried to read tech books on kindle, but 6 inches is too small. I’ve had better luck reading them on an ipad. The screen is just big enough, but navigating between the book and my notes proved cumbersome. Mostly I read tech books on m

You really think google would walk away from all those safari users, especially on mobile, by forcing chrome? This seems … unlikely.

I totally forgot all the time I used to invest back in the day in working around those IE quirks. At one point I drew stats and figured out we spent a quarter of our frontend development budget on IE compatibility. Thanks for the memories.

Applications also have to listen for messages that indicate a dpi change (moving between screens) and recalculate and redraw everything for the new dpi. The legacy codebases which are easily retrofitted to do that are the stuff of myths and

For the first I started out with magnet, but ended up with moom. Hovering over the green button in the title bar then shows fine-grained controls to dock the window to a half of the screen, or do basic tiling.

Oracle is free to download and try out. It’s only when you want to use it in production that you get to know the heart of their business: the oracle sales team. They are pushy, and devious, and they never give up. I spent about a decade wor

How would you even train the AI without building lots of walls of different but precisely known structures and densities?

They think about it, they just consider it somebody else’s problem. The genie is somewhat out of the bottle already, because existing access points can track the position of wifi devices and deduce a lot of this information. This takes it o

I’m sort of skeptical about these “turns out” stories. Generally when you follow the trail of turns out the original statement is kind of right but for the wrong reasons. It’s sort of like high school physics, kind of wrong, but right enoug

This makes a lot of sense to me. Steps (and to a degree skateboards) have a much more forgiving learning curve than inline skates. When they slide out from under you, you can just jump off and land on your feet. When inline skates slide out

Are you arguing in good faith? It is clear that the employer owes a debt to the employee as soon as the labor is performed per the labor agreement. The employee owns the debt. In theory they could sue to get that debt paid, in practice they

You would think that, but facebook detects 20 million shares of this material per year. Presumably at least part of that group that shares the known material are also abusing children and creating new material, so this does look like an eff

On top of that I don’t think anything older than a core 2 duo is fast enough to use for web browsing, and most of those macs can be patched up to big sur using the various community patchers.

Sometimes I try to imagine what the app store rules would look like if apple had to abide by those same rules for all of their own apps. I imagine the rules would be much more lenient, app review a lot less error prone, and developers would

Couldn’t you host a model custom element implementation on a cdn and get almost all those same benefits? I would rather see a turn to custom elements over extending the browser’s native set of tags further.

This wasn’t a limitation anyone ran into in the real world. I was lucky to get the original windows 95 to run for a day, let alone 49. Windows 95 OSR2 on the other hand was very stable. My most stable desktop from that era (late 90’s /
