If they bother. The vast majority of appointments I’ve had, in recent memory, are the provider typing a bit on their laptop, then sending me to someone else.

That’s a big breaking change around a brand new feature. I’m sure it could be done well, but it gives me the shivers.

What’s more strange is that we’ve generally decided that adults aren’t “allowed”, or supposed to enjoy fun things.

The end-user relationship with Adobe feels a lot more like a mob protection racket than free market capitalism.

That tracks. Ruby followed in the footsteps of Perl, which had string manipulation as a main priority for the language.

Major props to the author for actually caring about this. JS seems like an assumption more than ever before. It’s great to see that people understand that some of us don’t want it. Very loosely related: why do so many websites use require

I was hoping someone would bring up Bullshit Jobs. There are definitely a lot of people spending the majority of their time doing "work" that doesn't have any significant impact to the world already. I don't know that so

Registry settings can be modified via CLI, too. Windows users are just far more averse to the command line.

Do you distribute OSS software which requires notarizing? If so, have you found a way to let the community build the software without a paid developer account? I would be very interested in a solution which allows OSS development, relying

Untrue. There are specific APIs which require notarization , regardless of usage. Credential autofill is one such API.

Anecdotally, I was not able to find any way to notarize software for internal use, without paying for a $99 developer account. Though I would have been willing to pay, I know that others who might want to build the software wouldn’t, so I a

Well, good thing that wasn’t what I suggested. Engineers _should_ have leeway in how they resolve issues. As I read, though, you have a company policy which explicitly disallows the action you needed to take to fix the problem (if I misread

There’s a middle ground. Get the appropriate stakeholders involved in the decision, including security. Let security be the ones to keep the system down, if it cones to that. Or, let the business operations folks make the decision to go ove

OMG, this. I was working on a tool to help integrate password managers on macOS and I got completely blocked by the notarizing requirements. Some things literally cannot be built for macOS as open source software, now.

So, what do you do for Windows and macOS users, in corporate environments, who don’t have access to virtualization on local machines? This describes most of the places I’ve worked as a consultant. Container technology is awesome, and it’s a

Interesting. I remember php being on top at that time, with JSP just starting to take over. I was in a rural area, though, and our local developers were far more influential than any internet community during that period.

YMMV. At 41, I’ve been in tech for about 25 years, and my network is still hugely beneficial to me. They help me keep an eye on new trends, the overall job market, and potential new positions. I focus on keeping in touch with a lot of peopl

For the new grads, it should be “build your network”. Learning skills for promoting oneself is imperative in the early career stage. Start a blog. Connect with a community. Find a meetup or user group. It pays off long term. the unfortunate

We need to come up with some sort of Application User Interface contract paradigm. I, for one, am really getting tired of UIs changing constantly. Sure, the changes might bring minimal improvements, maybe even major improvements sometimes,

There’s no reason you can’t do both. As another sibling comment mentions, llms will get you part of the way there, but often have things you still need to work out. This helps you get a framework in place first, so that you can take an iter
