One has to read between the lines. What they really said is "We sell not enough Fitbit products in these countries and need to cut costs. So we'll sell only in countries, where we sell other products and selling Fitbit products co

This are the reasons I don't use GitHub actions. I don't want to add another hard dependency into my development environment and testing actions looks like a very slow feedback loop, very time consuming.

You can bet that it will be much more difficult. Look at Google, how impossible it is to resolve anything with them and how successful they still are. This will be the new normal for everything. Another take on this topic: It is reality rig

"and (shudder) pop-up ads" I had to close 3 or 4 pop-ups, before I could read the article. This is sadly pretty normal nowadays, and I don't want to know how bad it would be, if I wouldn't use ublock origin. The web is u

Doing both is good. Integration tests tells you that something is broken. Unit tests tells you where it broke.

> The spec itself (at the time, at least) said that it could be ignored if the header was always sent/not user-enabled. How would that work? Has the server a mechanism to check if DNT was set by default on the client/browser?

I don't know the answer, but I think, that there could be two reasons: 1. Tailwind is css but "disconnected" from other parts of the result. So it could be easier to generate. 2. The code that was used for training, often use

This is a completely meaningless rationale and has nothing to do with the topic.

Git is hard because it solves a non trivial problem. But also, because it uses a lot of bad defaults (naming the remotes "origin" for example) and it uses the same name for different things. It's almost like the founders of

Well, most classical songs are very well compressible, because not much is going on. Punk Rock or any other music were a lot is happening, at the same time, can suffer very audible from 128 kbit lossy compression. So you can hear lossy comp

Well, it seems to be true. This thread is the best example.

I like the concept of simple monitoring. Simple means it is simple to install, simple to maintain and simple to use. For me, this is netdata. Netdata could be much more, but I just install it on whatever machine and never think about it ag

I first thought that the title "ugliest yacht in the world" is not so easy to give. Then I looked at the photos. Ugh. The boat looks like a floating tank, like a warship with sails on it. Even the manufacturer Nobiskrug does not m

This will cost you time and most likely money. And that's stopping a lot of attackers. And if you don't stop them, you at least slowed them down big time. This could also be enough to make the attack useless.

While I understand what you mean, you should state at least one reason of why you think they are deeply evil people. To me, it's the story of how they systematically convince small firms that they want to do business, only to screw the

Forcing old PHP codebases to either adapt (WordPress for example) or die, is a good thing. PHP5 code is horrible in almost any metric and I'm astonished that websites running old PHP code are so seldom hacked.

A $5 instance runs almost any php stack just fine. Even if they have a build process.

Semver is perfect for developers and libraries and helps a lot. In software for end users semver tells nothing most of the time.

The article could have used the term technical debt. To me technical debt happens not only when new code gets added in a sloppy way, but also when the developer experience gets worse.

Listing the ingredients per 100g is better, because you can compare different products. It is the law in Europe (I think) and it's the only sensible solution.

I tried CakePHP at the time and it was awful, like many other PHP frameworks of the time (remember joomla?). Frameworks were either "what the framework provides is easy, but don't dare to do anything that the framework is not made
