Yeah, I figured that out about 6 hours ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41158720 Though it did already point to the gist back then, and I am still unsure how I can tell it pointed to twitter originally. Thanks thou

While the models might be there, the hardware to actually run them on is much widely spread, making it per definition less of an issue. The people that have the knowledge to actually run them is even smaller. The latter might not be much of

I assume you are talking about unit tests here. Thinking of edge cases is exactly what unit tests are for. They are, when used properly, a way to think about various edge cases *before* you write your code. And then, once you have written y

Automated tests ideally don't entirely replace manually executed tests. What they do replace is repetitive regression tests that don't need to be executed manually. In an ideal world this opens up room for exploratory testing wher

It also is still general overhead, which does require capable devices and a good internet connection. Something a lot of developers with very capable computers and fast internet connections tend to overlook. Specifically, if you are targeti

This very much feels like an arguing for the sake of arguing type response to me. Given that, what I am typing isn't obscure knowledge in the slightest. Anyway, assuming you are honestly just curious. Sans serif has shown to be the bet

by creesch 2y ago
Well that is one way to go over the top with a counterargument. I am not advocating for any of that, just that maybe a sans serif would have been a more suitable choice.
313.
by creesch 2y ago
Not really, there have been various studies that have shown that for the majority of people and cases sans serif fonts are the better choice for reading. There are some exceptions. Obviously, code is one of these, as code is explicitly diff

It is indeed what prompted me to go on this tangent. I see so many blog posts being posted here that are just unnecessarily uncomfortable to read. It's just baffling how a person can spend time and effort to publish something on the in

I get that it is an aesthetic choice. One I can't really understand given the main purpose of a blog, I think anyway, is to be read.

by creesch 2y ago
A bit of a tangent to the subject of the blog, but something that has been bugging for a while. What's up with all these blogs that choose fonts that are just not that good for readability? In this case, monospace. It's not code,

There are a lot of office spaces available for single person businesses around here. The point is that I don't need to be able to visit or physically mail anything. But it is just one more point of trust and something I can more easily

Static binaries make things easier, but even without them things can be quite manageable depending on what you need. I suppose it sits halfway in between as you do need the java runtime, but with fat jars you can also quite reliably and eas

There is no magic bullet I think. It also depends on the market you are after. If you are not after the big bucks from huge corporations, there are a few things I believe do help, things I also see on the healthchecks.io website: - Have a

If I read the article correctly, it boils down to "if you communicate through enough other means, you will need less documentation". Which in theory I do agree with, the problem often enough is all other means of communication. A

Technically correct, but it is a bit more complex. The original web extension API is based on the chrome extension API. So most (there are some annoying exceptions at times) of the chrome extension API calls also work with very little adjus

You are only further affirming the point I am making. You need a third party app in order to be able to browse files well enough on Android devices. And even then you do not get the same experience as you would get on a desktop OS. Simply b

by creesch 2y ago
I think you are missing a step in your conclusion there. The reason users aren't as robust in organizing where their files come is because file browsing on phones isn't as robust. On the android side the file browser that comes wi

Context is important. For a lot of people, it is a subjective topic where they are more likely to comment based on personal experience ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Surely this isn't a highly subjective topic that is going to result in people hugely advocating for one or the other purely based on their own anecdotes. Right? Putting the sarcasm aside, my personal experience with dark mode is that I

Neat to get to know JSR, but doesn't this have very little to do with the contents of the article you responding to? While I know NPM is in the title, the actually article is about module imports which JSR doesn't change.
