I'm sure some might be acting in good faith. Nonetheless, I believe they're generally wrong. From experience going to the office for the sake of going to the office doesn't help. The company I worked for who had the best comp

The closest to what Twitter used to be is Bsky. The model isn't perfect and some of its features are still not quite there, but it has replaced my Twitter usage entirely. And they've managed the large user surge pretty well. I&#x2

Was Kamalas campaign demeaning to the working class and alienating men? I was under the impression that the Dems were doing more for the working class, and that Trump was alienating women.

The idea is similar, but a component contains markup and logic on top of the styles. The approach Tailwind takes is that since the component is named and contained, its elements don't have to be named explicitly. And while we could the

I stand corrected. They actually started phasing out Skype for businesses in September 2019. The timing is more of a coincidence. I do believe the lockdowns might have rushed the transition as the UX felt unfinished for years. I can't

Teams was a rushed Slack clone MS pushed during the lockdowns. VSCode didn't have the same incentives. I was working for a large company using Office 365 back then. Our teams were using either Slack or Skype. The company pushed everyon

Besides the fact that consumers aren't as rational as your question seems to imply, some of the reasons for the iPhone's dominance are the same reasons Apple are getting sued.

Anecdotal but I was looking for permanent positions both at the beginning of last year and beginning of this year. For a frontend developer role in Europe. I've been having significantly more interviews and recruiters contacting me (an

Hardware support, sure. Backwards compatibility is a double edged sword though. While it's awesome to have it's also the reason why parts of Windows feel so dated and inconsistent.

I think most people would like fewer Elon Musks, not more. Your Everest example also assumes that giving an unfathomable amount of money to Musk is more beneficial to society than using it for other purposes. I find that hard to believe.

Do your due diligence when choosing a registrar. I recall a blog post where an attacker got access to the blogger's domain through a social engineering attack on the registrar, and subsequently got access to their emails. I'm curi

You're correct. I'm actually not sure what installing a PWA does that visiting the website in your browser doesn't, but it's essentially opening the website in a headless browser. So very much like electron except instea

The difference is that in most other countries people don't use SMS. They use WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, Facebook Messenger, Snapchat. The fragmentation isn't ideal, but it's better than the vendor locking.

I don't think hallucinations are necessarily a big deal. A lot of AIs applications can tolerate some inaccuracies. Our world is already full of inaccuracies. As long as we're aware of the limitations of AI and don't blindly t

The outrageous cost of daycare means that as a young parent switching to 32h, you're giving up 20% of your pay but saving a few hundred euros a month in daycare costs. So the pay cut ends up being closer to 10%, depending on their inco

I noticed this as well. When I was freelancing I would sometimes get inspired and motivated and work til 10pm or later, not because of a deadline but because I felt like it. Each time, I noticed the next day was rather slow. I was more tir

"Refactoring UI" won't make you a good UI designer on its own, but it's a great place to start. It's the perfect book if after making some software you feel like the design is amateurish and want to know how to star

> The people willing to pay for fonts are not particularly price sensitive, because if they were they would just be using a free font. Fair enough, there might not be as many people ready to pay for a font as I imagine. As for the price,

It's the nicest monospace font I've seen in a while, and I'd love to try it out, but $75 is a rather hefty price for development use. I don't mean to diminish the work that's been done, but more... I wonder if you c

I feel like 2020 has been a tipping point for smartphones. Since late 2020, most phones above $500 have nice display with a fast refresh rate and take decent photos in all conditions. The RAM and CPU are plenty good enough to check Google M

I'm sure you'll find some overly idealistic people in the mix, but the article mentions clear trade-offs that young workers are willing to take. Some of them are willing to take a pay cut in order to work less, and they're be

I'm late to the thread but would like to second this. The design choices the article criticizes aren't the consequence of mobile first design. Actually websites looked like that in the late 2000's, before responsive design be

The way you prevent the country from being run by organized crime is by spying on the governing bodies, not the private citizens (those typically don't run the country). In practice, it means we should have transparent data about the p
