When it was released there were no ads at all, and it was a great way of quickly adding comments to your site. Of course there is no thing as free lunch so the enshittification was inevitable

This is basically the user testing approach as described in "Don't make me think" by Steve Krug. You can use it to test usability of your applications as well.

From what I've read it is at least a major theme in their national discourse, of course that doesn't mean that the statistics support that it is actually a major problem. But probably at least a lot of people (voters) feel that

Scrolling using actual scroll - instead of following the pointer and automatically scrolling - would make the page better anyway IMHO

Wasn't the entire point of calling an API REST ful , that it's explicitly not REST, but only kind of REST-like. Also, who determined these rules are the definition of RESTful?

by jaapz 1y ago
This is great for API's that only have a few actions that can be taken on a given resource. REST-API's then are especially suited for acting as a gateway to a database, to easily CRUD and fetch lists of information. The best API&#

Testing is often very subtle. If you don't understand changes you made (or really didn't make because the LLM did them for you), you don't know how they can subtly break other functionality that also depends on it. Even befor

But also, because it's written in rust. There are tools written in python that do these smart caching and resolving tricks as well, and they are still orders of magnitude slower

Hideous? It looks just like any word processor to me. A dated look, yes, but I wouldn't call it ugly. What needs modernizing precisely? IMHO the UI for most things in libreoffice's word processor is simple and easily found. Can&#x

In the Netherlands, we banned flavoured vapes. Now every 12-16 year old has a vape dealer. Just banning is not enough. Society needs to decide vaping is as bad as smoking. Currently it's still somewhat accepted to vape inside of public

1kW continuously is 8760kWh per year. To compare, my house used 6200kWh in total over 2024, including heating. Your toaster draws 1kW for maybe 5 minutes a day, which is maybe 30kWh per year. The power in this comparison is not important, i

I personally try to follow the method of "make it work, then make it nice". You build something that works, it does what you need it to do. After that, you probably already know where the code rubs you the wrong way, so you know w

Interestingly their CEO states that AWS an Google forking redis and maintaining it separately was their "goal" all along. Because fragmentation is apparently good?

I find it surprising that linus bases his development and release tools based on whatever's in the repositories at that time. Surely it is best practice to pin to a specified, fixed version and upgrade as necessary, so everyone is work

Torvalds is known for being flamey towards kernel maintainers, but most of the time that is for good reason. Here however, he should just admit he made a mistake instead of doubling down. Admitting your own mistakes is a mark of a great mai
