I have not tried that, though I will experiment. It seems to be an issue with the latest OSX version (Mojave), as I cannot recall it happening on the last OSX major version (High Sierra?). I do not have new headphones across this version sw

Semi-related: But does anyone know why unplugging headphones while audio is muted causes the audio to become unmuted? This is easily my least favorite bug and results in a 10 second shuffle of frantically finding the mute button again, some

You are seeing to the heart of my argument. Thank you for that. I agree on the 5-10% mark, and find it's true even in smaller orgs that have a mature enough product. Once the product solidifies, having a bunch of different dependencies

To thoroughly abuse the metaphor, you don't always want to go where the giant goes. Sometimes you would like to climb down and walk your own direction. Dependencies can take you near where you want to go, and if they can take you all t

Not in JS, but yes I do. Often. A useful exercise is trying to just bump everything one at a time and seeing where you can't. Tooling helps with this, but I usually do this reevaluation task when I go to do dependency bumps. "Why

For sure, I'm not necessarily commenting on this particular example, as I'm unfamiliar with the tooling brought in by that command, and don't use JS myself. It's more of a comment about software dependencies in general.

It's different based on each dependency and where you're at in the project lifecycle. If you're running as fast as you can to get off the runway before you crash, you have more of an incentive to bring it in and punt the prob

A former boss of mine had a sign above his desk: “Transitive dependencies are the lifeblood of stuff. We don’t build stuff, we build software.”. While I am not a JS developer, I am distrustful of every dependency brought in and aggressively

The article above this right now on the front page is "Awesome Python" which I found rather humorous in combination with your comment.

Coding to an API spec is one of the most freeing things I have done as a backend engineer. We use JSONAPI at work, and while it still leaves things open to interpretation and places to fill in gaps, having a standard just frames everything

Erlang has an explicit concept of processes and supervisors,and communication by message passing. When a worker process dies, the supervisor is made aware of it, and upon receipt of the message, can decide what to do. In some cases that mea

My ire is when a password manager generated password has too many special characters, is too long, or any number of trash restrictions that ultimately cause me to use a manually generated password to get around the restrictions.

It's not unreasonable to assume people missed that news. It was front page here for a day and on reddit for about the same duration. If someone didn't login for a few days, it was very easily missed.

My understanding of the live studio audiences is that they prompt the laughter. Is that correct? If so, the audience laughing at the jokes is just an illusion, even if genuine.

This is my nightmare. Laugh tracks are one of the most obnoxious sound additions to any piece of media, to me. If the situation is supposed to be funny, it should be self evident, and should no require some additional cue. Conversely, if so

As a counter to that, GitHub had a very bad problem with that before they added emojis to issues/PRs. There were hundreds and hundreds of issues with countless "I agree" messages across major projects.

My read was not "trust From" but more "be distrustful when from does not align". Perhaps users will take the former from this, but my understanding of this exercise was more spotting negatives than spotting positives.
