Yes, Stack Overflow is also cargo cult programming. Of course sometimes you have to use tools handed to you by others and sometimes you won't understand how they work (I don't know how CPUs work but it hasn't stopped me from

I still think "expense" is more appropriate than "tax". The difference is that you get to blame someone else for a tax, but expenses are something you bring on yourself. Victim mentality.

Where is the right place to build? Drought seems no more problematic than the wildfires, flooding, etc other areas have to deal with. In fact it's something we can probably engineer our way out of (by conserving more and building dams

Per 100g doesn't make it easy to compare a bag of chips to a can of soda. Unless you carry around a food scale to measure out all your snacks, I fail to understand why 100g^-1 is useful. I would however be interested in a pie chart tha

Are you telling me that you could find a way to accomplish your job with just 54 keystrokes per hour? This comment alone would take you the entire morning.

He claims to work for Google on X, LinkedIn, and his own website. I am inclined to believe him because I think he would have received a cease and desist by now otherwise.

No doubt those links are redirected to the CNET homepage.

They certainly want you to believe that.

Which is a pretty crucial distinction, no? No one would get upset if CNET announced they were deleting clickbait and blogspam. With articles such as "The Best Home Deals from Urban Outsitters' Fall Forward Sale" currently gra

So whose word do we have to go on that this is beneficial, besides anonymous "SEO experts" and CNET leadership (those paragons of journalistic savvy)? Perhaps what CNET really means is that they're deleting old low quality co

I'll just assume you neglected to read TFA, because if you had, you would have discovered that it links to an official Google source that states CNET shouldn't be doing this.[1] [1] https://twitter.com/searchliaiso

The fact that you think this sounds easy makes it apparent how little experience you have in this domain.

Coastal states also get a lot of rain. We aren't talking about building fabs way out in Abilene are we?

Every time an API changes, whether by a little or a lot, the FF team has about 2 months to deal with it. You think that's going to happen? There's just a squad of engineers sitting around doing nothing at all times, waiting for th

Why can't you learn the next tool? Everyone in a tech field has to retain the ability to learn new things over time. AI might not take our jobs but it will likely change them. I guess it sucks if you have a fear of learning. Admittedly

The argument is not about whether incognito failed to do something that it promised to do, but about whether it's possible to penalize Google for incognito not doing something that some set of users wished incognito might do.

I think it's pretty typical to make decisions early on in a project based on expediency, especially when you don't know how popular that project might end up being. The article actually understates how long this has been in the wo

I suspect "stability" will look a lot different from Windows though. They won't be supporting old versions of the API for 30 years but maybe 3 months, since both browser and OS are still expected to be kept up to date for sec

What is the point of the title (which was not the title of the original page)? Is 500 unexpected? I think it would be a lot weirder if only one record high were set in a week.

You are moving your own goalposts. You stated that you couldn't believe how out of touch a single dev was. Now you are claiming that Google as a company is acting in a certain way. And yet the feedback from higher ranking members of th

What did Yoav say? The blink-dev thread is full of crucial nuggets like: > In order to start even an origin trial in Chrome, this proposal would need approval from API owners like myself, and the current state of the proposal is not some

My entourage definitely is not impressed by any of these three obscure details of web development. I think they might have a hard time even grasping what the web platform is.

It's one dev, out of hundreds/thousands! At least one web platform lead from the Chrome team is on record saying that the proposal could never move past the experimentation phase. Do you think it's impossible for one bad^H^H^

It also said he only wrote hundreds of lines in 35 years. So maybe one line a month. Either he's a wizard that spins gold from straw or "mastered" is being used ironically. Given that he could be replaced by two juniors I&#x2

If you are the kind of person who thinks the future of IT looks bleak right now, imagine what it must have looked like in 2002 when NASDAQ was in a three year death spiral and down 80%, which is an experience this guy lived... and then in 2

That sounds like a well above average life. No problems and a functional member of society in every respect? Good relationships? Five children?! It seems obvious this guy was in fact happy, despite the last lines of the poem, or else he wou
