that statement does not make any claims about capability, reliability or robustness. the claims are rather cost and independence.

if i live in a country where DNS is filtered then running my own locally is not going to work.

disappointing, because alternatives matter too. quad9 and other well known servers are potentially blocked by some countries, so the more lesser known services there are the better.

depends. my kids school in china didn't allow me to let my kids bike to school without supervision. (well, actually, they couldn't stop me from sending them to school alone, but they would not let them out unless i was there to pi

i get where you are coming from, but i suspect that the company that does that would also exhaust people without pair programming. bad work environments exist, and yeah, those are probably not the places where you want to introduce pair pro

you are not being interrupted. your partner is thinking with you and is paying close attention to what you are doing. they will know you well enough to not interrupt you while you are focusing on something specific. they will wait for the r

absolutely, for me that's included in the cost of ownership. just like the cost of ownership of physical items includes the cost of disposal of those items once they are no longer useful.

you mean the white bump on top of the purple brick that should not be there? well, i saw that as a marking on the brick because if it was a bump it would be purple. and on the left side whether that looks right or not depends on the angle.

research has shown that the longer work in one day the lower your performance gets. meaning that eg in the first 4 hours i get 60% of my work done and in the remaining 4 hours 40% simply because i get tired later in the day. (numbers made u

how is the lego structure impossible? it is unstable because it's made only of 1-stud bricks. and there are some non existent multi colored bricks in use, but those could theoretically be produced. also while the wheels are not connect

my performance goes up when i pair program. therefore velocity is not cut in half. depending on the pair, the velocity may even be higher than the combination if the two people working individually. also if pair programming means saving tim

AI may reduce the cost of code production, but it raises the cost of ownership.

my performance goes up when i pair program. even if the partner is a junior, simply because i am more focused.

if sites break despite passing all tests then the tests would be incomplete. as for detecting that the browser is not chrome/safari/firefox, the days where you could trust the user agent value to reliably identify a browser are lo

ladybird is way to early in development to sell itself to anyone except developers who might want to contribute to it. they need to get it working first before they can think about interesting features that might make it attractive. it&#x27

nobody is suggesting that it is a viable alternative, i am just arguing that it is not imaginary science fiction either

tab groups, a very recent feature, help a lot at keeping tabs organized. you can even archive whole groups if you no longer need them but don't want to throw them away

ladybird is passing more than 90% of the browser test suite. that's not science fiction.

completely independent development. not based on any existing browser. we need more browser variety.

it's not an irrelevant question if helping kids find fulfilling careers is the goal. what you are saying is that scratch is worthwhile even if that isn't the goal, which i think is awesome in its own right.

but even today, don't you write code to solve a problem? to fix a bug in an application? to achieve something? feels to me not that different. just that the targets are no longer games but other kinds of applications.

that sounds interesting. can you give an example please?

trying to do modern kind of interfaces with Tkinter in python and ttk can be kind of tricky/impossible? The part about it being "awkward" is definitely true. that sounds a bit worrying. can you give some examples? from the

in what way is Tk basic? can you elaborate? also what are your thoughts on the issues with python as mentioned in the article? how do the scheme bindings compare?

how is your experience with the problems with Tk and python as described in the article?

by em-bee 1mo ago
the problem with Tcl/Tk is Tcl. the author does write about the quirks and problems, so this is a good article, but the end of it is that Tcl is simply not a language that i am interested in mastering. just like shell scripting. i&#x27

could you point them out? i actually did a search but could not find much. there are GTK themes, but nothing i could find that converts a gnome desktop. stuff is either incomplete or outdated. i actually managed to get half BeOS theme toget
