Yeah, despite all its shortcomings Flash had one thing and that was opening up the web to a rich UX. Today, despite all the progress in JS, CSS and browser support for page manipulation, we’re nowhere near what used to be possible with Flas

Well, Mark is mistakenly positioning the Vision Pro in the same braket of his Quest. The Vision is going after Microsoft's HoloLens and it's a closed case already (if anything because Microsoft dropped the towel long ago). Nope, a

Oh no, it definitely can and should. There’s absolutely no excuse for not adding a sensor or even a dumb counter to implement a simple action limiter and constrain operation with a safe envelope. It’s basic engineering

heh, indeed... I'm a contractor and I got shuffled around into a team that's not really picking the steam it was expected to. Talked to the previous EM -- whose teams are under significant load -- and yeah, what a pity: budgets ar

Also contractors though. I got into a quarrel with the lowlife recruiter that tried to coax me into accepting going on pager duty. They had no room for negotiation, whatever the customer said was the deal. I left… but it must have cost them

Ah, they systematically eschewed quality and engineering from their development mindset. I remember their gaslight routine whenever a proposal was made: “oh we should never divert from the 80/20 rule and whenever you work on a 20% fea

Ah the usual case of the left/green acrobatics biting rh back. Covering for their bad-faith allies and swallowing poison pills for the sake of the coalition and taking home a couple wins, only to be nailed to the Cross with the same se

I guess you and the parent are sampling the microserivce hype curve at different points in time.

Meh, the plan is to turn Twitter into an American TikTok. Great pivot given the timing, but he first had to destroy the “liberal stronghold” image it had acquired. It’s cynical af, but yeah… also the milquetoast Jack was appeasement all the

Yeah, and you had an authoctonous whose family bankrolled him all the way up to the White House and all you got was the Second Gulf War! And daddy’s boy even managed to drive into the ground all the businesses that he laid out for him to ma

Wasn’t there a child protection activist, somewhat related to the Trump-sphere, that used to court him during the first months of his tenure? I hope he hasn’t taken that bait…

I did notice an increase in UI glitches. I guess the codebase is just as flaky as it has ever been, but they used to canary their changes so gradually that 99% problems were caught at that stage

ok, then color-code the pour. Just toss a tint into the mixer and all you need to to in case of later modifications is drill a pilot hole and look at the color of the dust.

Well, of course I don't take issue with the parent's choice. I just note this reductionism about "alcohol" as if quality ciders, lambics, barley wines, ales, wines, reds, whites, bubbles, distilled grappas... I can'

Yeah fine, I get it. But why is it always “drinking alcohol” as if it’s a matter of consuming the substance pure, straight into the vein. There’s plenty of different beverages of varying tastes, intoxication — if any — curves, complementary

Yeah righty, that’s like trying to stop the ocean with your hands. You know that 99.999% of users will have several applications or gadgets forcing them — and eventually you, if you want to remain socially functional — to install an unrestr

I do know I don’t have to install an alt-store that is going to let its apps track my very soul if I need to install a popular app. E.g. imagine Google rolling their own Play to install Chrome or Maps. Facebook for Whatsapp, Amazon for Kind

Lots of people are calling for WFH and legitimization of remoting. Alas, it seems to be a matter of monkey power, and the managers want you to burn tons of fuel to sit your butt in the chains they provide and smell his armpits from a distan
