Things aren’t that rigid. React is just a template library (it doesn’t have any franework stuff at all). You don't have to make an SPA with it. In 2015 we were doing $('[data-widget="colorpicker"]').each(() => Re

I find the right goes into rage machines and sees their way of life changing and double down on keeping things the way they have been. I find the left goes into anger machines and ends up suggesting overzealous steps for necessary changes t

Bruh an engineer probably suggested those changes. You think a salesperson is suggesting mDNS and frameworks?

If you’re worried your blog has to compete AI-generated content, I’m not sure that you should be writing it.

Or buy the OG, the Roost. It's pricier but lighter and more compact.

Sure, if you hang around a lot of engineers, it’s not that impressive. Undergrads were building robots in the lab next door in university. Heck I’ve seen some sick robots built by high school students. But most people think it’s cool. It’s

Personally I feel if you want to make an impact, you need to provide resources early on when people are growing up and in school. There’s nothing like gaining inspiration because someone you know growing up is doing it. e.g. It’s much easie

OK so you're actually right, but the actual criteria of "whether you can do this" depends on a lot of factors from the project to the people. But there's no way to really describe it. It's like explaining to somehow

Also an issue is that the director attempted a full rewrite as a separate project. You can do successful rewrites but your rewrite has to be usable in production within like a month. If you don’t know how to achieve that, don’t even try. Th

Why do they need innovation? They just have a product that works, like a company that makes nails. Is there much for a nail company to innovate all the time? It’s a boring job that has been long figured out. Sure, they can diversify by addi

While not in a Y cable format, there are small USB-C hubs that can do this. If I plug a NVMe drive into my iPhone, my phone will run out of battery so quickly so I have to use a hub and plug in my charger at the same time.

You're the middle ground I was talking about. You tried it. You know where it works and where it doesn't. I've used LLM to generate code samples and my IDE (IntelliJ) uses an LLM for auto-suggestions. That's mostly about

I believe it’s more that people hate trying new tools because they’ve already made their choice and made it their identity. However, there are also people who love everything new and jump onto the latest hype too. They try new things but th

If I actually have to be on time and it says 11:55, I’m not going to wait 5 minutes. I would wait 4 minutes. If it’s more fluid, then 5 minutes is a fine estimation. OP’s suggestion of rounding the minutes wouldn’t change anything except ma

Docker doesn’t expose ports by default. It only bypasses your firewall if you choose to explicitly publish a port. OP explicitly forwarded a port in Docker to their home network. OP explicitly forwarded their port on their router to the Int

Sometimes when you work less rigidly as a team, covering for others when it’s convenient for you, everyone gets more things done with less stress and less trouble. And you go home at 5pm and had a good work day.

eBay and Facebook Marketplace don’t really compete. FB is better for normal fungible items. eBay is better for specialty stuff. Don’t forget that you have to pay to list and usually have to ship on eBay. It’s two totally different vibes. If

Sure, but my point isn’t that over technical specs. Plane Wi-Fi is already good enough to let people do some seriously rude stuff but yet I have not heard of it being a problem. United, who are the ones quoted to be adding Starlink, has alr

I’m watching videos from my Plex server sitting in my living room, on the other side of Earth… …or random skate videos on YouTube which won’t be replicated. So it’s not the on-plane CDN. It’s true that the upstream probably isn’t too great

The bridge has been crossed for a few years. I watch streaming video over plane Wi-Fi. Sometimes over the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean.

It sounded like the author(s) just had existing request-oriented code and didn’t want to rewrite it to be connection-oriented. Personally I would enjoyed solving that problem instead of hacking around it but that’s me.

Me too. The reason my current and previous companies can handle their high throughput is 100% from my architecture but I have no actual responsibility and stress in my position. I’m sure I could make a gnarly salary somewhere but I’m extrem

I like pocketable non-interchangeable lens mirrorless cameras. I rarely carry it because my cellphone is usually good enough but it’s good for travel and for lower light areas where cellphones struggle. It won’t fit in my pants pocket but i

SQL is like regex. A small fraction of people bothered to learn how they work and know how and when to use them properly. Everyone else just perpetuates a giant in-joke of “it’s black magic!”

Haven’t written SQL in a while (and I used to write a lot) but I think SQL Server recursive CTEs are fairly unbounded so it’s just a Postgres limitation unfortunately. (I’m a fan of MS SQL but it’s Microsoft and also hard to financially jus

If you think Autodesk is bad, try their competition. Paid competiting software from companies like Dassault are even more locked down and free software alternatives don’t even come close in feature parity. Autodesk can do this because it’s

I’m not sure why you are making a point about engineering certification. It’s not like physical products are immune to this problem. I could list you a billion poorly designed products that don’t seem to meet the correct requirements. At th

I’m sure the real explanation is that there are probably a lot of people with weapon caches or doing other really questionable stuff but very few of them have intent to harm and the small remaining number of people who have that intent are
