You gotta be careful about going overboard with it. Recently I was trying to get a refund on Groupon because the company I'd bought a Groupon for was under new management that refused to honor my groupon. The form had a stipulation &qu

Huh, that gives me a little pause. People who clone a project and compile it manually get different output than people who `go install` it? Is that inconsistency something that … should be fixed? Seems like it should be.

Oh I'd love to, and I did for years. The problem is using 99% of third party libraries without building has become nearly impossible.

In the past two years I have gone Webpack -> Parcel -> Webpack -> Vite -> Rollup I live for the day bundlers are no longer needed. The state of modern JS such that much of it does not work on the web by default is absurd. All th

What percent of those drugs exist explicitly because they can charge high prices for them? Are companies going to continue to invest countless millions developing drugs they have no chance to recoop? I'd argue everyone benefits fro

In a similar vein, I put an ill fitting jacket on a coat rack when I started my current job in 2012. We have moved offices twice, and the coat rack and jacket have followed me across both moves at no effort of my own. We've been workin

So please do excuse my ignorance, but is there a "logic" related reason other than hardware cost limitations ala "8 was cheaper than 10 for the same number of memory addresses" that bytes are 8 bits instead of 10? Genuin

Something is going on with the site such that whenever I scroll with my iPad it jumps all around the page. Genuinely made it very difficult to try and read.

My fear, perhaps ill founded, is that the "electricians" of the machines will just age out like COBOL devs. Highly sought after and in demand, yet work no one new is learning to take over. A large percentage of the current softwar
