   How do you expect anyone to learn CSS if they're being told to not even think about writing CSS unless they already know CSS? The whole premise demotivates learning. Experts weren't always experts. They had to start somewhere. If

   I tried to use a framework on a web project recently, but looking at the two most popular frameworks... one of the results in every site looking the same, while the other is a step backwards to the bad old days in the worst possible ways. I

   Neat, but not nearly responsive enough. When I was your age, we had to key at 5000 wpm or they wouldn't even let us look at a radio.

    More than one A-to-D conversion would knock it down to no more than 33.6. Pair gain units would cause problems. Bridge taps and load coils could also be problematic, but that was much more of a concern on DSL. Older amplifiers had very narr

    And I'm really feeling all this right now, helping someone with something that is now completely different than how it was three months ago, and does not match any documentation that shows up in search results, though I'm sure the

    Leaving your vendors hanging is literally taught and practiced among certain circles of entrepreneurs. Though not spelled out in explicit terms, they operate on the basis of "Fuck you, I got mine." They want a perpetual jackpot ma

    And you'd need about 19,997 less of those servers if you got rid of all the scummy adtech infrastructure you're implementing and just focused on the core product. Unless your core product is ads and marketing data, in which case b

    That's okay, Microsoft will rename it to something else and completely change the admin UI and APIs next week. It will now be called Dynamics CoPilot OneAI 365 for Business OneCloud.

    It was that brief window of time that ended, partly because of the iphone, that technology could be or do anything. The world of infinite possibility. Now that costs $14.99/mo, but if you upgrade to the Pro Plus package for $23.95&#x2F

    If you are ethical, moral, and otherwise decent, do a one-time purchase. Otherwise, extract every last cent of revenue you can using the scummiest of subscription mechanisms you can muster combined with advertising.

    I'm slowly removing myself from the job market because I'm going to retire. Go work yourself to death at an exciting startup that will fail before your options vest if you want, but some of us would rather enjoy our little cabins

    819 million hours of unpaid labor. And just think, a large chunk of that was performed by children. CAPTCHAs are slave labor in small doses. It's also a way of avoiding paying taxes on that labor. But hey, what's a few billion dol

    Every single attempt to replace COBOL has ended in failure. COBOL will never die. You can move it to new platforms, but it can never be replaced.

    To me it's wild that the problem was solved back in the early 1960s (and really, well before that) but everyone just ignored it because of reasons and now we're stuck with a sub-optimal solution.
