   i sympathize with the author. safari and browsers aside, there is something bigger going on. there is a massive disconnect between applications users and makers nowadays. i have started to think that they a) don't care b) have misalign

   excellent take on why programmers prefer one way of doing things over the other. i am adding it to my ever growing list of possible explanations. another common one is: that's what we have been taught in school. python has mostly repla

   this is concerning. i can't say we can predict where all this is going or what will come out of this case. but wikipedia seems to have too much power over what constitute the "truth". i recently read a book on cognitive scien

   modern software has become complex. but people, especially those involved in this complexity, insist that this is all normal. simplicity (or whatever it will be) is coming for modern software. we are seeing the early stages of that upcoming

   frontend development, if we can still call it that, is the wild west right now. but a few youtubers shine at summarizing the mess down to essentials. i also don't do much of it nowadays but i like to stay informed. one of these channel

    every now and then i submit a feedback to youtube saying it would be nice to have sorting playlists by duration. over the years, they added sorting by date added, date published, popularity. i never ever used any of those. it's either

    is there a programming language that has python syntax but aims to be as fast as c? (something like crystal on that list)

    is it really the case that parsers can't tell the greater than sign in "a, b = w < x, y > (z)" without type information? or is it simply difficult to parse for some parsers?

    the GP made a valid point for zoning: a safe environment for schools. but this comment and the other one are veering away from that main point. of course we don't want anything carcinogenic or that dangerous anywhere where people live.

    i read the OP to mean that most companies include in their "culture" that you are part of the "family". but that does not reflect what we came to understand families to be. i.e. your uncle does not get ostracized for und

    i highly recommend "the c programming language", the k&r book. some may claim it's old but i don't know if there is a good "modern" c book. you can pick up the modern part quite easily. now that i am typing

    oh and for streaming platforms. sometimes, it's just because that song you recommended (and started playing) should not be played after the one that just finished because it ruins the mood. this has nothing to do with the song itself.

    > How would you figure this out without telemetry? the way the world has done it forever... a survey? it is concerning. if Firefox is doing it, they are all doing it. i am not going to be opening PDFs in browsers. this is ridiculous.
