Doing so would prevent people from striking against unfair conditions, because they would lose the ability to feed themselves, and so would rather suffer bad working conditions. If you care at all about human beings, you should not be able

Haha that's actually really clever!

I guess pro-office people are all extroverts then. Really sucks for the rest of us.

So every time you change jobs you also change homes, or how does that work? Or you only look for new jobs near the old job? With an average turnaround of 2 or so years for a software engineer, I can't imagine having to move every 2 yea

I know back-to-office people like to pretend that commuting is this amazing thing, and that working in stuffy offices together whilst still staring mostly at a screen and communicating via Slack is somehow tons more productive than remote w

It always surprises me the lengths people are willing to go to avoid writing CSS. If organization is the issue, there's BEM ( https://getbem.com/ ). This just looks like another layer of complexity on top of an already c

I've worked with a ton of start-ups and digital agencies on countless projects by now in my career, and I can honestly say supporting Firefox has never been a priority. I've tried to push for cross-browser testing many times, but

I created a system-agnostic router[1], a Markdown parser[2] and a WYSIWYG editor[3] in Clojure/ClojureScript that definitely helped me get Clojure gigs. I was told in the interview process on multiple occasions that my open source work

When I was in Buenos Aires a year ago this was still very much a thing, and a daily thing. There were multiple people going around with carts, some carried by horses, others by humans, and some had a truck.

That's interesting to hear. I thought we paid taxes for that. Or what am I paying half my salary to the government for then? Should I start paying the remaining half as well?

by askonomm 3y ago
It's funny how cities clean themselves up only when the rest of the world is looking at them, e.g Olympics, only to fall into disrepair the moment that's gone, because why would the government ever care about its own people, right

Most of the issues are Linux auto-installing wrong graphic drivers, which then after a reboot results in a broken DE that doesn't work, and I don't want to spend my time manually verifying every update it tells me to install. I&#x

I would say that the popularity indicates the higher usability. People find Windows and MacOS easier to use, with less random problems. I also don't understand what you mean by lack of package management? Homebrew on MacOS is very dece

Unfortunately the fragmentation can be felt quite strong. A thousand different Linux "flavours", none of them work even remotely as well as MacOS or Windows does. Most Linux distros have never heard of decent user experience desig

It's about the GPU used in regular laptops, I'd imagine, for which Windows has drivers and support, and Linux does not. That's my point. X11 for those laptops works more reliably, but even then there's immense screen tea

Ready ready on what? Select hardware? I've thrown 4 regular off the shelf laptops at various DE's using Wayland and they all suck in various ways to the point that they're not even usable. Meanwhile I can throw Windows on all

So then what you meant to say was that _some_ Linux distros are not malicious.

I think you underestimate what people with disabilities are willing to try to lessen their disabilities. This isn't for making people pretty, it's to (potentially) help people lead mostly normal lives. Similar things that are curr

I doubt most of us turn off javascript, and enable it on a case by case basis, regardless if it's a technical forum or not. I certainly don't. That would be a major inconvenience to do for very little benefit, imo.

So ... the default settings of most browsers? The way you phrased your sentence makes it seem as if users themselves set their browser up like that, when that is not the case.

I wish they'd make another Altered Carbon season. And bring back Joel Kinnaman. The first season was amazing.

That's still called compiling, regardless if the thing it compiles into is similar or not.

Doesn't TypeScript get compiled into JavaScript? I thought TSC actually does a compilation, hence the name, TypeScriptCompiler? But anyway, this also exists for PHP. Psalm ( https://psalm.dev/ ) or PHPStan ( https:/

I do lots of greenfield PHP these days, and honestly I don't see why people would not consider it. It's an extremely pragmatic language and ecosystem to ship things with. By the time I set up a Java project, I'd already have

But .. PHP doesn't have compile time. It's an interpreted language.

Rails is a framework, PHP is a language. A more apt comparison would be Ruby vs PHP, or Rails and any number of PHP frameworks like Symfony, Laravel, etc.

It indicates the namespace where Override exists, which in this case is root level. \Namespace\Class is how namespaces in PHP work. If no \ is specified, it assumes Override is in the same namespace as the class it is being used in, and it

Lots of Clojure companies hire people without previous Clojure experience (how I got started). List of companies that do that can be found in this blog post: https://jobs-blog.braveclojure.com/2022/03/24/long-
