You're a developer? The best you can do is to write code with as few bugs as possible. Don't stress about the other stuff. Product-wise: bugs are a part of life, but they shouldn't destroy any data. Whoever is in charge of th

Agreed, after 6 years of use, my gripes with React come down to the re-rendering and lack of syntactic sugar for commonly used things. Hooks can get messy, but complicated components were complicated even with the class syntax. What React h

I think the only question that matters is how much longer it takes to write a moderately-sized program in Rust vs C. If it takes around the same time, then an average C programmer will probably write code with more bugs than an average Rust

Your argument seems to mostly boil down to "Rust isn't magic", which nobody is really arguing. It does help eliminate one class of really nasty bugs, which tend to repeatedly show up in a lot of massive security hacks, and wh

Targeted spam is still spam. Unless I have asked for a recommendation, do not give it to me. Ultimately people are just used to advertising, although they still hate it when it shows up in their mailbox or on their doorstep in the form of a

Gnome has their own screenshot tool and they also broke the workflow for Flameshot on Wayland recently. The internal API that was used to take screenshots was blocked, which is reasonable in and of itself, however the new public API has an

Out of curiosity, how often do you detect vote and flag manipulation events? I assume the accounts in this flagging event were otherwise active and "healthy"? On Reddit, accounts are created years in advance so they seem legitimat

They also have high-visibility ads in F1: https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.formula-1-announc... I doubt it's very cheap to advertise in F1. You need to outbid large competitors.

Above all, for all readers: talk about these things with your doctors. There is a lot of anecdotal evidence online and it's just like negative reviews: the people with positive experiences aren't really talking about it much. As s

Any social features are appreciated, even though I don't use them. Payments were probably a waste of engineering time, unless it somehow attracts users in oppressed countries.

I have a T14 with an AMD CPU. Plenty fast, not hot and battery lasts about 6-8 hours. CPU-wise, I'd of course prefer the M1, though. Intel CPUs are not great in laptops. I don't like what Lenovo has done to the T-line, but Thinkpa

For me, it was about ranking up. I'm harsh on myself when ranking up, these are the possible scenarios: 1. You play well, but your teammates play poorly. You lose the game, you feel bad. 2. You play poorly, but your teammates play well

This should be mandatory reading for anyone entering the workforce. If you're about to start as a software engineer, print it out and read it every day.

If we are aiming to re-think currencies and use cryptocurrencies as the new building block, I feel like it should handle these cases, otherwise we will need to re-do the whole thing again in the future. I'm too lazy to do this multiple
