In music, phones also killed metronomes and tuners which I'm thrilled about because by themselves those are $30+ instead of $1 (or free with ads) for an app

This. The unintended side effect is worse and I feel like the only winners would be the lawyers in the middle. There are many ways for a company to justify leaving a posting up if sued: - candidate’s resume did not meet bar so company did n

I love ST and don't get why it stopped taking off. VSCode is way too heavyweight for just editing text and TextEdit is more like WordPad on Windows than Notepad.

It's always better when companies are hungry for business. I thought that in 2016ish it was super cool for Microsoft to get into Linux, build VS Code, and make bets like the Surface Studio. For comparison, I think Mac OS in 2008 was al

I didn't say that. When you're trying to get a job done, it's time consuming to sift through a long tutorial online because a big part of that time is spent determining whether its garbage and whether its solving the exact pr

If this is something that you want to solve, I've found that having a PR template checklist that asks contributors to include tests helps a lot. Say something to the effect of [ ] Added unit tests [ ] Included a screenshot of the code

Is there a good way to learn techniques like this from first principles other than trying to become an employed frontend dev?

Yeah that's what's called an assume breach/zero trust mindset. In a modern environment you can't rely on the network perimeter being a security boundary, so you need to minimize permissions (so that if an identity is hac

Wait so back in the day I remember Winamp let you configure a CDDB thing and it connected to something called.. Gracenote? (Am I remembering that correctly?) iTunes desktop at some point used to handle this all for you and I assumed it was

+1, most of the time in college I was so upset how professors would just have a million words and equations on a slide and expect us to look at it later. I learn so much more when a professor has a whiteboard and writes out an equation is d

IMO knowledge graphs are a must have for security use-cases because of how well they handle many-to-many relationships. Who has access to read each storage bucket? Via which IAM policies? Who owns each bucket? What is the shortest possible

I actually think humanities become more relevant than before in tech with AI. For example, good prompts for image generation remind me of authors setting the scene for their novels, so being trained to do this well is an advantage.
