Also, the expiry date should never be a date picker. I'm not trying to _choose_ a date, I'm just dumping the exact numbers from my card. I want to type, tab, type, tab, type, enter, and be done.

Well this might be an interesting discussion to read for you. Take what you will from it. https://gist.github.com/isaacs/357981

I really enjoy the server-client diagram [1]. I've always thought myself very able to explain technical things quite well to non-technical people, but always struggled to explain the public/private key exchange in a simple way. Th

In contrast, we had snow in our alpine regions into December. The weather is completely nutty recently.

In addition to that, some fires are burning so hot and so regularly that the trees and seeds completely die. They haven't got the breathing time to recover.

I'm really sad to see the GR8 gone from the world. A while ago I was building some cool products designed around it. It was just so neat and did all the tedious, not-fun things of board design.

I can't tell if it's coincidence but I've had all of our GCE pull-queues failing with "transient failures" for pretty much the entire time GKE has been reporting this issue. Have they only _just_realised_ this is af

I've always felt that manufacturers got the USB-C dongle very wrong. Instead of converting USB-C to DP/USB-A/HDMI, the dongle should be converting DP/USB-A/HDMI to USB-C. It's about upgrading the older perpheri

Yeah I guess that's fair. It's a fairly shallow attempt to evoke a response. At the same time, I still enjoy it because it did create a lot of responses. I find discussions these days end up being an echo chamber of the same opini

I love this devil's advocation. I certainly don't agree with it but it makes a great conversation. Stir that pot.

The coordinates are derived from the timestamp and satellite location - that's how GPS systems work. All the satellites have the exact same time. But deviations in the timestamps when received (because the speed of signal is constant)

What if I'm working for a global company based in Malaysia? Would I be happy to be paid the regular rate of a Malaysian developer while I live in Silicon Valley? Or would I demand a higher pay? Does that mean everyone in the Malaysian

I think that's great example of why this is a difficult conversation. Global commodities are typically fixed and can be prohibitive to some localities. Who budges? Do the global companies lower their prices or do local economies step u

I probably shouldn't have said "can't" be paid the same. Instead something more like "don't need to". Up front, I believe everyone should be paid the same. I want that. But I do accept local living standar

I think it's a requirement of remote work. You can't pay someone in Malaysia the rate of someone in Silicon Valley. Don't get me wrong, I think everyone should get fair wages. But that's just not how it works in differen

Well no, "fixed" is a position relative to the the viewport. "Sticky" is like a conditional/hybrid between "fixed" and "relative". I mean, I call this kind of footer "sticky" but it&#x2

I was going to suggest the same but with LinuxFB. I don't believe it's hardware accelerated though. https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/embedded-linux.html#linuxfb Qt is fairly popular in the embedded space. I'd bet

That's right. I was quoting DanielK.

It's a subtle thing for sure. Just because he prefaces it with "not to be an ass" doesn't justify being an ass. Overall, it's still phrased in a demanding way.

This is bait. But easily, Skype.

Not so much that it doesn't work at all. More like, it appears to work and then fails horribly down the road. I've been bitten by it too much. It's typically the auto-complete feature of mobile keyboards that fails. Something

It's great until you discover things like position-fixed doesn't work when there's an ancestor with a transform. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=20574 It's really fun

I guess it could make SSR easier for canvas based components. But how to translate that canvas state from server to client would be pretty interesting however.

I'm just spitballing here. Could it be that either deduplication or idempotency are a sub category of the other? Or perhaps describe different aspects of the operation? Like, you could argue that deduplication is a form of idempotency.

Maybe I'm desensitised from political agendas in films now, but from Captain Marvel I really didn't get a overwhelming feminist agenda that I felt impeded it from being a genuinely entertaining movie. I'm disappointed about B

I fully expected the 'use moment.js' part at the end. Javascript dates are certainly unpleasant, but moment can be kind of a blunt instrument at times. There's growing support behind Luxon, a sub-project of moment that may ev

I'm fairly bothered by that non-linear scale in those graphs. Particularly because it's consistently non-linear for gender comparative graphs and linear for most others. To me it seems almost deceptive. I don't mean to be acc
