Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus is a Latin maxim meaning "false in one thing, false in everything". At common law, it is the legal principle that a witness who testifies falsely about one matter is not credible to testify about a

All my friends with Teslas say they love theirs! They are everywhere, here in South Australia. Model 3 and now Model Y are the number selling car. Not sure of overall or in class, but either way, they sell very well. And it isn’t down to th

DisplayLink still does not fully support 4K hiDPI displays correctly. Beta support is there in DisplayLink software on macOS for scaled 4K displays, but it does not provide full colour bit depth. The colours are washed out and the display l

It’s bonkers. I’m sure there is some sort of collective delusion. I’m currently fixing a React app for client. I’m convinced the previous “Dev Team” had no idea how it all actually worked. It’s all so fragile they seemed to never be able to

In my experience, it’s unnecessary layers of abstraction for benefits that are not realised unless you are at some level of scale where you know it does. Facebook invented React and GraphQL for good reasons. But many of those reasons don’t

No, you might get it right within seconds, or it might be the very last number you try. You could flip a coin for a decade and always get heads. The odds don’t change however.

I’ve got some JSON being served to an iOS App from the cheapest of hosting which is ~5 lines of PHP to get the data from MySQL and return JSON. It’s been running unattended for a decade….

I’ve used it a bit recently and it doesn’t seem terrible! But only for prototyping and testing the auth and database tools. Haven’t really made a decision on it vs rolling my own in Rails.

Agreed on some points. Although I do think Tesla did take advantage of their head start. But it’s clear that the pandemic and issues with China and supply chains are hampering them globally. And sure, Tesla launched successful Electric cars

It’s not worth 5x! Cars driven commercially like that are worth less money. Take a hybrid Toyota Camry that’s driven as Taxi almost 25 hours a day. Are they worth more? Do they command a premium? No, they do not. And at the end of they shor

I will never understand 4 spaces vs 2 spaces as a code formatting standard. I’m looking at you Python Black! 4 spaces and a default 80 char line length! It’s wasted space!

I like how they make a point of consulting people with different legibility needs! That's a very important point of difference! People that aren't blind, but don't have perfect eyesight often fall into a forgotten middle grou

That really is a big issue, for me, with Windows 11 and Edge. The entire experience is cheapened. MS Edge, for instance, actually has an excellent base UI. But the UX is destroyed by plastering horrible tabloid news and ads all over the fir
