Funny, until I read this it didn't occur to me that this rule smacks of premature optimization. Odd though that often in optimizing an application after it's written we don't often consider something as high level as switchin

Well usually the framework requires a plug-in and the plug-in requires RTFM which not all developers do. Also these frameworks and their plug-ins change and have their own dependency management that can cause code rot in short order that le

Always worth noting that using JS to extend the built-in semantic markup is a future-forward approach. When I started working in web development, changes took up to a decade (IE6 held us all back, but the w3c was also fairly toothless back

Let's not forget the popularity of Instagram and tik tok both of which are basically carousels wrapped in an app. The problem with carousels is the expectation that they deliver more content than a simple visual (links, calls to action

So you don't need javascript for any of that anyway ;)

I took a semiotics course in college where the professor asked the question "is the fish aware of the water it swims in?" A rephrasing of an Einstein quote but one that I think 12 year olds need to be aware of when they get smart

This was what I said out loud while reading the article. Given the attempts to tamper with the election happened while he was still president they were done in the hopes of changing how long he could prolong those protections. The majority

What gets me here is that bust out 1 happened after one bad holiday season to a company that was doing great the previous year. Another company in New Jersey (Toys R Us) had a similar one mistake year and ended up owned by Bain Capital -- t

I think we should allow defaults on student loans and remove guarantees. This would drive students to earn the loans by proving themselves as a minimal risk to lenders and allows those students who fail an escape from collections. I have an

They have access to GPS which is us military. I believe the commenter was suggesting that providing this access in the way GPS is provided would be a passive way to support countries like Ukraine. This is again a situation where we think we

I'm less concerned about malware than what it will do to my eyes after hours of looking at it. Will I start having depth perception problems? There aren't glasses for that...

We are talking about prescription drugs here right? This isn't about something people want it's about something doctors are prescribing individuals for their health or survival. Regular supply and demand should not apply here. If

Business doesn't fund "fix it later" -- it just becomes tech debt. You have to push to do it right the first time or approve merges you can live with in perpetuity.

Raising two children is a job in and of itself. Considering our children are the future's consumers, you'd think it would pay better. Teaching in public schools would definitely fit in this category.

Even if they came to my house to fit me with it I wouldn't buy it. What problem is it solving for someone other than Apple? We've been seeing this AR pipe-dream for 10+ years and it hasn't caught on. Not because the technolog

When Adobe and Macromedia merged this happened to LiveMotion and GoLive. 5 years later it happened to Flash too. I really like Figma mainly for it's platform agnosticism (I work in Linux desktop). I suspect this will be pay-walled in t

The UI UX is hands-down the worst part. When a serious incident is opened and assigned to a team member the most efficient way to work it is to share around the link from the notification email as it can take more than 20 minutes to find it

I weigh 175 at 6 feet and my insurance company was informed that I have an unhealthy BMI. I was running 21 miles per week at the time and could easily pass the test described above. Of course pointing at the problem again doesn't solv

+1 I came to comment about the British stipulation and this put me right in my place. Thank you for the humble pie. I just hope they don't go for American. Though to be honest they're the only audience.

I would agree that you need to manage your expectations here a bit. Life is not a morality tale a story or a bible verse. It is random malicious and unpredictable. Looking at the natural world where wild animals live exposed to the environ

Nope. I stopped buying software when this started. I find an open source or free alternative now. Partly because having a bill for software that I may or may not use every month is unnecessary but I'm hearing now that you have to threa

It seems that we're missing that this trend is likely due to the students contracting the disease outside of school. Most accidents happen within 30 miles of home doesn't mean you can take your seatbelts off when you are 31 miles

I dunno. I'm a FE dev and have been for 20 years. I'm finding more and more that FE jobs are webpack and dependency management jobs. Far from building bespoke user interfaces or developing new patterns. The design side of web deve

This is why I continued to use sublime text all the way up to capitulating to TypeScript. Code was slower because of all the intellisense. I've had Code freeze on me a few times. Something that I don't have happen in Sublime or Vi

Loss of understanding of the lower strata of the technology we depend on is a popular new fear. I see evidence of this all around me these days. The more the devices around us "just work", the fewer people question them and learn

I gave up on vscode when it locked up on a 32gb machine. Seeing that there's analytics code inside clears that right up. I assumed the problems I had with electron based apps were the overhead of running a browser on top of the applica
