I'm not sure I would recommend this for kids. It seems quite abstract and children often have a hard time with abstract thinking. The course starts off with seven lessons on tooling and JavaScript fundamentals before you actually do so

From personal experience and from reading the other comments, some people see open source as a popularity contest and more stars will get you more users (which in turn gets you more stars). Choosing one library over another just because it

There are people suffering everywhere, no matter where you are in the world, you never need to travel far to find people who are way worse off than you.

Physically, yes, as long as the medium doesn't get damaged or deteriorated. Digitally, the "forever" part doesn't actually work that great in practice [1]. Unless you can download the movie and store or yourself. [1] ht

Convenience and cost for me. You get significantly better hardware for your money than a PC for the same price, while it is guaranteed that all games you can buy will run as the developer intended it. Just turn it on and play.

I hope they standardize the interface for password managers as well, so that 3rd party password managers can be as secure as the browser's own built-in ones.

I could not agree with you more. These are exactly our two complaints about Postgres on Cloud SQL.

Parts of the Firefox JS engine (SpiderMonkey) are written in Rust (although nothing really significant I believe).

Fedora is using cgroups v2 by default since last year. This version of cgroups was not supported by docker until a couple of weeks ago. So as a Fedora user you could either use podman or modify your installation to use cgroups v1 instead.

There's no reasonable way to compare performance between PostgreSQL and MongoDB because they're not the same kind of product and they don't have a similar query interface. You can take a particular application and compare per

Also not great. An "architect" once threw a POC at my team like "hey, look at how easy it is to do this!", then other people started adding requirements and then wondered why it took us that long if the "architect&q

From the outside, it seems like Javascript developers are all in high school, participating in a popularity contest, feel the need to sprinkle emoji everywhere and communicate solely with memes and gifs.

The only thing you can do is to talk with your colleagues and ask them to help you. Only they can tell you how to improve your code quality, as they are the ones judging you. You can tell you're at a good company when there are a lot o

A lot of web apps also use vim-inspired keyboard shortcuts, for example Gmail, Twitter, Reddit.

If you need an easy way to bypass the "login" wall, just click the "reader view" icon on Firefox (and probably Safari).

This being on top of Hacker News with 600+ comments at the time of writing means that Slack flushed millions of dollars worth of developer productivity down the toilet (i.e. all the people spending time complaining about Slack here).

Got the same message. Let's see if "carefully considering all our customers' feedback" means "hey, lots of people are annoyed by this" or "ignoring all our customers' feedback".

Don't forget to buy some premium printer paper. If you only print a hundred sheets a year, it's well worth the cost.

This is probably one of the reasons why Netflix is so much more stable and reliable than pretty much every other streaming service that I've used more than a couple of times.

With one notable difference that the multiple GET requests can be (much) more easily cached than the GraphQL example.

Cloud computing gets cheaper all the time, why should you commit to spending a certain amount of money? This seems like just another way for AWS to increase vendor lock-in and profits through making complicated payment structures that make

Yes, the big mail providers are an issue. But it's also an issue the other way around. We use Postmark at my place of work and unfortunately, that doesn't prevent all of our mail from being marked as spam. Some mail gets blocked b

Email is not the same it has been for years/decades. These days you need to use all the security tools available, most notably TLS and DKIM, set a strict DMARC policy, and don't do anything unexpected such as sending lots of email

Not a good idea if you have are required by law to take returns (e.g. the country where I live). Returns go to the seller, not the drop shipper. Read about some cases where the seller suddenly had to manage their own stock of returns and ha

Yes they can. But in my experience, at big organizations, the people using Google Analytics are not developers and will have no idea what weblogs are or how they could use them to determine the real browser statistics.

I see one risk for Firefox: if they block all trackers, e.g. Google Analytics, then it would appear to people viewing browser statistics in Google Analytics that no-one is using Firefox, and thus the developers will be told they don't

Scalability isn't something any language does out of the box. The design and implementation of the application determines whether it scales or not. In that sense, Erlang scales about as well as any other language. It does have some fea
