This is huge advice for people who want to climb a given career ladder. The overwhelming majority of organizations will say they want you focused on real user problems, but actually want you to make your boss (and their boss) look good. Thi

Great to reminisce about the old days! There were various details in here that I forgot (or never knew). A few notes: The iPhone was what put the final nail in Flash’s coffin. Prior to that, and despite its many flaws, the Flash Player was

This is extremely sexy and represents a great trade off where the ergonomics can be improved without sacrificing the incredible investments in a high performance library.

No argument here. If you’re running things differently and getting tons of value with little investment, kudos! Keep on keeping on! What I’ve seen is that the vast majority of teams that pick up k8s also drink the micro service kool-aid and

Yah, also there is a huge difference between a minimal demo and actual, recommended, canonical deployments. I’ve seen teams waste many months refining k8s deployments only to find that local development isn’t even possible anymore. This mas

The allure of declarative approaches to complex problem solving has finally been worn down to nothing for me and Kubernetes was the last straw, nearly 10 years ago. The mental gymnastics required to express oneself in yaml, rather than, say

This is the worst possible strategy. Innovate something of real value, sit on it for years and then blame everyone but yourself when competitors finally figure out how to exceed the performance of your now-outdated bullshit. I remember when

This! I was a very early customer of Roomba and loved them when they came out. I had pets at the time, and the machine would consistently fail in about 14 months. I finally figured out that I needed to buy them from Costco, so that I could

Samsung consistently treats their customers with contempt. Never buy a second thing from a company that treats you with contempt.

Exporting to video does solve some portion of the use cases (i.e., early South Park), but the power of interactivity is what captivated me.

The core ideas of Flash remain unparalleled even now. - Vector drawing and rendering for extremely fast performance and file size - Visual authoring tool that invited creative, non-technical people to the party - Deep support for managing s

I owe my technology career to Flash. Still find it incredibly sad that Adobe and Steve Jobs were able to destroy it together. This tool was able to draw in creative, previously non-technical people and provide a gradual ramp of complexity t

I completely agree with the assertion and the benefits that ensue, but my attention is always snagged by the nomenclature. I know there are alternate names available to us, but even in the context of this very conversation (and headline), t

That's great context. I'm convinced they're well-informed, but the text probably isn't communicating their intent for me.

I'm not focused on this particular browser or the idea of using LLMs as a locus of control. I haven't used it and have no intention of using it. I'm reacting to the OP articulating clearly dismissive and incorrect claims abou

To be clear, I'm not criticizing the CM and didn't get hung up on the OP's tone, though I can see how folks would. Sorry about that. I can understand how folks have issues with TC connectors. As a counterpoint, I run a small

I can't speak to the particular browser application. I haven't installed it and probably never will, but the language around text interfaces makes the OP sound... uninformed. Graphical applications can be more beautiful and discov

They aren't even close. Trying to write Rust as a noob feels like being in a blackout swamp, waist deep in muck, fighting through thick air and trying, but failing to run from danger. Being utterly constrained in every direction. Writi

This news is making me much sadder than maybe it should. Arduino is what pulled me into electronics. I have such fond memories of those old chonkers blinking LEDs. It felt like magic. Unless they've had a major staffing and leadership

This. The C# compiler is brutally slow and the language idioms encourage enormous amounts of boilerplate garbage, which slows builds even further.

This question is a non sequitur. No one is arguing for using ISP-hosted accounts as an alternative. The core problem isn't even rooted in identity per se, it's about platform owners actively working to limit access to essential in

AI has been great for UX prototypes. Get something stood up quickly to react to. It's not complete, it's not correct, it's not maintainable. But it's literal minutes to go from a blank page to seeing something clickable-

This kind of thinking is exactly the problem. Yes, at the most absurd limits, some autists may occasionally obsess and make things worse. We're so far from that problem today, it would be a good one to have. IME, making things fast alm
