I was kinda trying being funny or sarcastic or something like that :-) And amusing to myself how many people actually remember or know what WebObjects was!

They expect what is promised. Consumer protections are a very real thing in the EU, UK, Australia and elsewhere! If you make promises about the features a product will deliver, then you are obligated to deliver those features. If not, the c

Can you imagine how awful open plan offices would be if everyone was talking to their computer! Similarly how odd it would be to be in a closed office talking to a computer… at least until we got to startrek levels of AI. Finally, in my exp

Yep, I did this for a while. The TikTok Byte Dance / Byte Spider bots were making millions of image requests from my site. Over and over again and they would not stop. I eventually got Cloudinary to block all the relevant user agents,

Is there an argument that, in actuality, this has been to their detriment? I'm just asking the question.. ;-)

IIRC The British Highway Code* used to suggest this as a method to move a vehicle stuck on a level crossing! (Train crossing). They did note that it’s only good for manual cars. Automatics were not standard in the UK in the 80s. All from me

Congrats on the launch! Small suggestion - work on the semantic structure and SEO. It's all H1 Tags as far as the eye can see!

I was also aware of this - but I dont want my Mac to actually auto login, for obvious reasons! I just want me to able to remotely login!

I'm hoping that's the case! Having to physically login to a remote Mac that has FieVault enabled to get it online after a power outage is not ideal! So will I be able to actually remote into the GUI now after a reboot? I've l

Absolutely agree with this! We need, as a society, to bring back generational communities. Our workplaces are not our families! I'll also add, that once you have children, owning your home is a very welcome level of stability. Nothing

I often wonder about this when discussions about breaking up Alphabet come around. Does Google Search open up Ad placement to different Ad Tech companies? In which case, wouldn’t the Google Ad Tech business end up being the highest bidder a

Depends on where you live. Copyright infringement is generally a civil offence in Australia. Whereas theft of physical goods is generally not. Penalties for copyright infringement differ between countries as well.

Depending on the specifics of the publication, we can broadly say that print media used to get more revenue from advertising than people actually buying the physical media. You could Google it and read about the decline but Wikipedia is a p

I agree. This idea that parents should have to be the gatekeepers for everything doesn’t work. We work better as a community, and we have democracy so we can elect people to take care of things that are good for all of us. Broadly, as a soc

A big issue will be if we see a further decline in SDK and API documentation. Anecdotally, I recently find myself building a simple enough Android app for a client based on an iOS app I have already built. I don’t really know Android dev, b

It’s all Rails 8 + Turbo + Stimulus JS with Propshaft handling the asset bundling / pipeline. All the Tailwind building and so on is done using common JS tools, which are mostly standard out of the box Rails 8 supplied scripts! Sproc

“I started to code more in Python around 6 months ago. Why? Because of AI, obviously. It’s clear (to me) that big money opportunities are all over AI these days. And guess what’s the de facto programming language for AI? Yep, that sneaky on

Unless I’m understanding it wrong, the Tab Completion in Cursor isn’t a moat anymore. VSCode & CoPilot now offer it. Is it as good? Maybe not. But they are really working hard over there at Copilot and seem to be catching up. I get an E
