A Jewish friend once explained a similar thing about “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.” Raised Christian, I was always taught it was broadly “do not lie,” but apparently it was more specific about not perjuring yours

That sounds more realistic, and it's something you can observe in sites like Facebook Marketplace. It's a SPA with all custom-built controls. About ten years ago I sneered at "jQuery-sprinkle" frontends, but I never imag

And Office360 is about as bad as Google Docs. It's honestly probably not a JavaScript problem. Some mixture of businesses not giving a damn about quality because it's more profitable to play the acquire-integrate-exterminate game

As far as I can tell, it's a question of having or not having whizbang bloated apps like Slack, but we had perfectly acceptable word processors, spreadsheets, 3D modeling tools, etc a long time ago. The current gen, JS-powered versions

"Not slower to program in" is a cost savings to the business, but let's be honest about that being what it is. It's a cost savings for the business that results in a crummier product for customers. Just like trimming a s

I think that’s what GP was saying. It feels like everything is doing way more behind the scenes, and it feels sluggish. I almost can’t type anything long in Slack because the key input latency is so awful. What is it doing? Firing off a cas

I have a rule in my email account. If it includes the word “unsubscribe” it gets sorted into a folder that gets deleted after 14 days. I manually review that folder every now and then to explicitly mark all of them spam. I would never sign

Meta note about this site: if you disable web fonts it looks almost like Zalgo text. I wish people would stop using special fonts for icons. I disable downloadable fonts in Firefox* because the janky repaints and slower page loads aren&#x27

Yep. It's the miscellaneous everything bucket. It also seems to only be motivated by either scarce screen real estate (it first showed up in mobile interfaces), or graphic designers who think everything is "clutter" and by sw

Security updates yes, but passwords are one of the most stable, least changing-parts of anything I do with a computer. File sync is also well understood and a commodity offering. In 35 years, the only thing that’s changed for me viz logging

You’re right, I shouldn’t throw the baby out with the bath water. Actions is a great addition, and I haven’t really used Discussions yet, but I’ glad to see that there is some thing to improve what was breaking at the seems trying to do tha

No one is worried about a page you can ignore. We’re worried about the second-order effects that trying to game that page will have on the rest of the site.

I’m not sure what kind of news app you work on, so maybe this doesn’t fit, but what this makes me think is, you’ve optimized for putting the “best” stuff in limited real estate, but why does there need to be news headlines algorithmically r

I look forward to the quasi-spam slurry of infiniscroll feed crap once growth hackers start trying to game the algorithm to get more traction for their project. I don’t think you can introduce a recommendation algorithm without it having a

The assumption you’re making is that they soak up liberal values and not just lucrative training and connections. I’d be interested to see if anyone has compiled any evidence one way or the other, but at the very least we, in liberal democr

Maybe because Belgian women aren't receiving forced sterilizations. I don't know. Maybe that makes it different.

Are you making thinly veiled references to anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about replacing white people in Europe? I wouldn't assume so quickly, except that in your recent comment history you've repeatedly made anti-Semitic state

The author mentions the second-order effect of SEO upon the web: an entire industry gaming their client's sites to the top of search results has debased the quality of the web overall. How is that same industry not going to pivot to de

Presumably an author wants to be read at least as much as a reader wants to read a random article. If they present their piece in an obnoxious format, why bother?

No, I’m not. Within the context of this article I’m lamenting the fact that even in the face of demand so great that it mops up the supply and causes a shortage, businesses still wont pay enough to stimulate sufficient supply.

Exactly. It’s like after the dot com boom no one can be content to get normal rich. Everyone wants to get “exponential” rich with software leverage. I know several people that serve as interpreters (Chinese/English) and the amount of w

Not saying I review dependency locks as well as I should, but one reason to is to prevent supply chain attacks. E.g. making a typo that installs a malicious package. I recently saw a $60k beast of a machine with 64 cores get pwnd. We all wo

Is this why the UI had become so slow and bloated feeling? A massive IDE in the browser? I hate how every tech company finally arrives at a stage where they do everything to keep you on the platform. I won’t even be surprised if some time b

Sunlight is healthy in moderation. Binge suntanning until your skin is blistered and peeling, you become incoherent, belligerent, or unable to tell someone how to get you home is another story.

Just casually following this thread, this is the third SaaS I've seen offering an alternative code review tool to supplement GitHub. It's either sorely needed to make up for how bad GitHub is, or it's true that we engineers c
