Yeah but if you're too slow at chopping vegetables and I have to wait 1 hour to get my dish, I'm not coming back to your restaurant either. To produce software that works and doesn't get in the user's way, and not introd

The road isn't reserved for cars either, despite what you might think when you see a cyclist "blocking dozens of vehicles" when he's just using the road.

It will help Vietnam develop knowledge and know-how and eventually we might see Vietnamese companies in the field. That's how China got started.

The Steam Deck is x86 despite being a handheld for compatibility with PC games. There is already a compatibility layer software-wise (Proton to run Windows games on Linux), adding one more compatibility layer for hardware this time will add

I guess we'll only know for sure when Thibault loses interest in lichess or gets hit by a bus, but I think lichess could continue without him. There are only people working with him, he's not alone in the project. And other people

Partly, but also because engineers had more powers. Now decisions are taken by managers or PO who don't care (or even know) about programmability, open standards, etc.

We're not talking about doing NYC - SF by train, but there are a lot of places where it makes sense. As I used to live in the Bay Area, it really surprised me that there was no bullet train between San Francisco and Los Angeles. Yes, a

It probably depends on the load? It's a Rails app AFAIK so if the load is low (which is likely for a family or group of friends) it should be able to run anywhere.

Nah, Easter eggs can still totally be a thing. It's not necessarily something that a developer sneaks in alone, it can be something a whole team in agrees on. I guess they're less of a thing now because it's been done so much

Where I live it's not the fancier bike that gets stolen, it's the easiest to steal. If they can flip it for $10, so be it! They're not going to find the customer who accepts to put $500 in a quality stolen bike anyway. Also,

Stealing bikes is illegal too, but it's never enforced either!

Corruption happens because the bribe is high compared to the receiver wages. Most people wouldn't accept a bribe that would be just pocket money (unless they're so corrupt they get as many as tips), but having a bribe offer equiva

I'm not sure if this should be called bribery or extortion.

Yes, what I imagine would happen is that the background check company will contact you, you'll send them your last paycheck with your title on it and be done with it.

Apple was clearly a cult company when Steve Jobs was CEO, and I feel like they continued to work as they did by inertia.

Yes, I feel like Jekyll was the first to make static sites "cool". Maybe because of github that made it super easy to create a site based on Jekyll, without having to compile it locally then upload to FTP or whatever. In the early

The best of both worlds already exist: take a CMS (like Wordpress) and generate static content from that. There are multiple Wordpress plugins that do that. You have one Wordpress instance completely internal, safely hidden behind a VPN, ge

That, and companies that size have people with bullshit jobs who feel the need to do an unneeded "overhaul" for the sake of putting that in their achievement list and get a promotion.

Anosmia is the sense of smell. Most "flavour" are actually perceived with your sense of smell, which is why you felt like you lost the sense of taste. However things like bitter, sour, salty, sweet and umami are perceived with you

Mozilla clearly exists to make as much money as possible for their employees (and in particular the leadership). I know, they claim their goal is to promote the Open Web and so on... But that ideal from the 2000's is long gone at Mozil

XULRunner was mostly like Electron before Electron. And it could have take succeeded before Electron arrived if Mozilla didn't decide to let the project die.

It's an asset but not an investment. It's factored in your net worth (i.e. your wealth) but it's not something you can leverage like the rest of your wealth. Note that if you're a homeowner, and the overall market goes u

That's what I heard when I bought my house 10 years ago. The 2008 crisis was supposed to put an end to the ever rising housing prices. Now my house is worth nearly 2x what I bought it, I pay less in mortgage than I would in rent for an

It is kinda wrong to see your primary residence as an investment. You can't sell it unless you find a different place to live.

Yes, they're different things. However you need a place to live so unless you already own a paid off house, you can choose between paying a rent or paying a mortgage. It's the bigger part of your "housing costs" in both
