Asthma from air pollution is calculatable. Cancer reduction, road repairs, reduction in vehicle costs for tax payers, reduction in road fatalities, all of these can be added up.

In the old days at MSFT, developers had a separate HD for code and builds that was completely excluded from virus scanners. Sometimes a big blunt hammer does the trick!

Hah! Fair enough. I feel like the rush of developers in the last 5-8 years means a lot of history is just unknown. People get all weird when I mention I self host all my projects for $10 a month on a machine I administer. Half a core on a m

I've met plenty of devs who have never seen php and who consider server side rendering to be magic because "Vercel takes care of it".

I do, to maintain freshness and to keep the kitchen neat. A single bag of flour can last me over a year. Also the bags sold in the US are so flimsy that they almost always leak flour everywhere just by sitting still.

We chose a strict flat metro style on Microsoft Band because it was super easy to render with the tiny CPU we had! All squares and monochrome icons meant we could render at an absurd FPS.

Being able to check secrets into Github instead of maintaining a separate secret store, which often charges per access, is super useful. Having a proper schema on secrets is also nice, I've ran into problems where a dev changed the nam

I mean... Yes? If you ask a cloud hosted AI to identify an image, that image goes to the AI. Presumably if I am an active user of a service to identify objects in an image I want that service to correctly identify objects, which means if it

Any company that is that scummy already has sales people working for it who are that scummy and lying non-stop. The AI isn't changing that equation at all.

The complaint is they prior to hooks react didn't have any of this complexity. It was pretty simple to understand. Class components works mostly as you expected them to. There are a handful of things that were really hard to do with cl

React + classes made sense. Redux was hard to use. All react needed was a simple state management solution that didn't take 500 loc across multiple files and a ton of useless object copying to make a page full of form elements work. In

For 20-30% of people it is a lack of an affordable home. If building more homes solves 30% of the problem and this drug solves another 10%, that is 40% of homeless taken care of. That would be a huge victory that would save hundreds of thou
