I'm all for privacy and alternative app stores, but opening browser engines to the competition isn't something I'm keen to have. Now every phone will ship with 2 engines (inevitably chrome is going to be bundled in at least o

Strong types: yes, it’s definitely better Functional programming: no, functional programming as in: the final program consists in piping functions together and calling the pipe. In my opinion, that tends to get in the way of complex error h

I’d assume prompts fall under copyright law, like code does, but if a lawyer can weigh in, that’d be interesting. Maybe there has already been a case that’s been debated in court.

Well, for a start, you guys brag about having great margins, which is not a problem in itself, but as a potential customer, it gives me the impression that the product could be cheaper. Then it's all self-congratulatory, with overempha

Ah I wanted to make a product to solve this problem. I posted here to see if anyone thought it was worth solving, but nobody seemed to care. The way I wanted to do this is to create dashboards that would serve at the same time as infrastruc

What's worse is that Python libraries like pandas do that too. The more I use Python in a professional environment the less I think it is suited for professional environments.

Computers allow people to interact with the world while avoiding direct human interactions, which autists tend to have a hard time with. I don't know if it's true at all...

Right, yes, at least that study proved that some bacteria eat cancerous cells in at least one mammal. If that particular bacteria doesn't work in humans it may still trigger a search for a bacteria that does. Still being optimistic abo

Not defending the guy, but he's possibly on the autistic spectrum, given he grinds solo on his projects for decades and stuff. He may perceive his own appetite for programming as being linked to some form of autism. Because, well, comp

If it is the case that there are such treatments (easy to produce, 100% efficacy, no side effect) that cure fairly common deadly disease such as colorectal cancer in mice, and that never make it to human trial, there is something seriously

From what I saw, there are very few experimental therapies that claim 100% efficacy, no side effect, no patent on complex engineering process to produce the drug. I agree with GP that it is very notable. I mean if it works on humans, which

A lot of head hunters will dangle job offers that don’t exist just so they can get info on the company you’re working at - basically they’re trying to keep tab on who’s in charge of hiring, so they can contact them. There are also those who

I find it a little weird that junior devs are considered not good in general. When I started working, I think I was fairly competent technically, and usually the people I hired were also pretty good straight out of uni.

There are 2 reasons for taxes to exist: 1. To finance the state's activities (mostly defense, social security, education, infrastructure and healthcare) 2. To disincentivize detrimental activities like smoking or fracking. We should ta

The markdown didn’t help with anything that CMS couldn’t do. But special sections of pages would render differently based on the yaml configs. You may think of it as: for each page, the yaml contained the React props to render. I d write t

Ah, this is fun. The article is about how people shouldn’t build CMSs because they’re building things that are too simple, missing tons features and not realizing the scope of what they get into. But one thing that CMSs may want to have is

I have built several small websites in the past that were updated by non tech people. I have tried, believe me, to make CMS work. I really did. But every time the customer came back with “can I do this or that” and inevitably, it fell in a
