On airports or what? I used Mac as my development environment for ten years and never had a conflict using port 5000. It’s not about inflexible web frameworks, lazy or stupid developers that use Macs. 5000 is a popular default port for web

It would be lazy not to investigate why something that has worked for years suddenly broke upon OS upgrade.

My favorite is the permalink reddit.com/trees (no r). So many confused high people in the comments.

The RBS files seem like a weird compromise to me. I I'm not sure I see the practical benefit, but maybe someone who has used .d.ts files can explain it. Is it just helpful if your IDE has tooling to use it? Seems like it could be helpf

This conversation gets so vitriolic every year or so when it comes up. I'm temped to go argue in the threads, bust instead I'll just share my (recent) experience with PHP in case anyone is actually on the fence rather than here to

Something interesting about them though is that they were mostly simple, plaintext, protocols and you could learn a lot by popping open a telnet connection and playing around. At least I learned a lot that way when I was a kid. I figured ou

A full tank of gas is a heavier load. The first half of the trip, you’re flying a full tank of gas just so that half of it can be used for the second half of the trip. If you stop over in the middle, you can fly two half-trips with a half t

It makes me chuckle to think of the contractor’s thought process on how you implement email verification. How could you not even Google something so simple before you reinvented it yourself in the worst way?

This rings true to me. Most of the best things in my life are the same. No big plan and then engineering the small pieces to build it. I've mostly followed the small pieces that drew me at the time. I'm aware that this approach co

I really enjoyed this, op. It was like reading a diary of my own struggle with screen usage. I haven’t found a magic bullet, but it was comforting to read that you’ve gone through a lot of the same iterations. I once considered making a scr

But which case should software interfaces optimize for? Ergonomics of someone who uses a tool frequently, or interpretability for casual by-standers of some out-of-context shell command?

Same. For documents and stuff that I use in normiespace I give them friendly names with capitalization and spaces and such, but for anything I'm going to be working on via CLI I try to use filenames that will be easily chunked as &quot

Good news for companies, bad news for the users that have reduced responsiveness and uniformity. Many people might not have the vocabulary or knowledge to distinguish native from quasi-native apps, but they certainly feel the laggy and inco

Yep. I've been learning the same lesson. I'm actually rediscovering all the things I loved and hated about Linux 10-15 years ago when I was on Ubuntu full time. The janky, unpolished, hodge-podge look and feel, but super snappy an

I'm kind of curious why they haven't tried to bring Go to more domains. Back in 2015 I thought by now they'd have released a framework for building Android apps in Go.

Same. I know I'm probably just being a grouchy crank, but I wish there was a "Awesome Not Electron" list featuring only true native apps. I've recently migrated back to Linux after 10 years full-time on Mac. I am often l

I disagree. It is different because showing up late effectively robs another group of people of their time. You can always say, “hey I have to duck out at a quarter til, so…” In any case, it’s probably best to make all meetings 50 minutes l

Sounds like a decent back-pressure to take more control of your calendar to me. I’m the kind of person who is almost always on time and it annoys me to no end when the first 5, 10, 15 minutes of a meeting are spent piddling around or catchi

I don’t like this narrative. Going from punch cards, to Assembly, to C and to dynamic languages all empowered the programmer with more expressive languages. I don’t believe going from Python to programming via code comments is the same deal

If you are seeking a minimum value within some complicated iteration, it’s easier to start your min accumulator as Inf than null with extra null checks.

I wouldn’t say it’s pain at all. Containers are a killer feature and I can’t imagine going back to a browser that doesn’t let me have isolated browser tabs in the same window.

I can’t tell if this is sarcasm. The solution to corruption in government is to give even more powers to the government to restrict the exercise of rights?

I joined their waitlist and I eagerly await. If there's any kind of invitation scheme that speeds that process up, I'd be ever grateful.

It still seems like such a simple technical problem to solve, albeit at large scale. Particular URL is blatant spam? Delist it. Keeps popping up on new URLs? Threaten to delist the hosting provider's address block. I'm more inclin

I just found a timely example of one of these sites that republish GitHub issues as their own content. Trying to understand a fairly specific Tensorflow error. Pasted an exact phrase query and the top result is gitmemory dot com. The conten

I guess I’m surprised that it’s not possible to quickly deindex these spam farms and render their SEO spend a waste. Especially Google, I’m surprised they can’t detect and ban SEO rings more effectively.

For all the love DDG gets on this site, it’s not really an independent search engine. It relies heavily on the Bing index, despite spinning it as using it as one of many signals. Brave has its own index and that puts it in another class. In

I’ve been using Brave search for several months now. I switched the day that it was announced. The quality is fairly good, but I’m having troubling telling whether it’s just my own halo effect or if the initial quality that experienced has
