Google should be asking from a product perspective if they are providing the search results the user is most likely seeking. I seriously doubt that most pinterest results are what users are seeking. As such, Google probably should consider

VSCode had (may still have?) a problem with code completion popups that would get in the way and not go away. But it, like IDEA and other IDEs, gives you the option to disable some or all helpers. So in vsc I turned off code completion. J

The slash handler is surely part of the cause of the higher typing latency compared to nearly every other program I use. I know of no other app which does what they do. Other apps do things like cmd-space (spotlight, which I use ALL the ti

I actually started writing an itemized response to this topic, but I got so frustrated I stopped (and restarted later and stopped again). It really comes down to the oft-used expression, "do one thing, and do it well". People thi

Are you not concerned with Apple potentially delisting you or rejecting a future update due to some reason which may or may not be clear? I suppose you can always go back to direct if that happens, but people who bought via App Store will

When I read people like or love Notion, I wish I could watch them use it. Obviously they are doing things very differently than I do... Typing latency while writing or editing a page is really high (bad). Every keypress you do, must be go

The modern stock markets have been insane since at least the 90s, and I bet there are some underlying banking and finance rules which led to the changes in overall market sanity. If you go back in time, value investors really dig into compa

Most of my career has been solo generalist within companies and freelance, so what you describe wasn't my problem... but now I'm in the exact situation you so succinctly described! The not enough time to deal with technical debt

One mistake many of us make (myself included) is making career choices based on money. Looking back, many of the jobs I took were just for the big pay increase. But unsurprisingly, I wasn't happier. Worse, it became harder and harder t

That Rafal Dittwald video is excellent. It gives a small but illustrative comparison of procedural, oop, and finally functional... and using javascript (thereby making it accessible to non-lispers). Most developers should watch it.

Work can at times be the obstacle or challenge that helps us attain a higher level of capability, and with it, satisfaction. Pointless work, such as work on a small part of a large software system which is obviously doomed or moving in the

Keep in mind that what may seem like "personality fit" may be more related to "learned imperative programming first". As an analogy, depending on which spoken language a person learned first (as a child, _automatically),

My answer to the question he addressed, for the audience who first learned to program using OOP, is to move to a functional language and follow the books and tutorials for that language. If the language in question does provide OOP features

It has been years since I worked for an AAA game company, but at least at that time (and probably still) the pressure from publishers to release in time for Christmas season is beyond intense. The revenue difference between selling at Chris

The beauty, from a nefarious standpoint, is that you don't have to pay people to spread disinformation. You just have to use the right psych techniques on them and ensure they get proper reinforcement. These are the techniques that ha

Your video is fine. I can't try it in bright sunlight unfortunately because we don't have a sun in the winter in the Netherlands :/. Your video appears to be all in the terminal, and most text is white on dark background. Pl

I can assure you that if you produce dark mode content, people will not be able to view it if they are sitting outside in typical daylight. I know this because I have tried, with three different modern laptops (two MBPs and an XPS) which ha

Apparently I did not write my post clearly, because I did not think I ever said it should be outlawed. Options are great. I did suggest that people consider their mode choice if they have an audience.

And I "literally" provided two examples of where it's a bad choice. If you are the only person viewing your screen, then by all means use whatever color scheme you like. I never said it was bad for you. I just illustrated w

This dark mode topic came up in the past, and I commented similarly. One (typically knowledgeable) HN reader replied to my comment with an explanation about this. I would have to really dig to find it though... I'm not sure, but I su

With most apps I've seen, it is indeed a choice. It's not a choice when someone records their dark mode screen/app and shares that content. There's a lot of very valuable tech education on youtube (people demonstrating
